Yeah I know which one you mean now. We had the DVD of it in work. Never seen it.

[sir helix]

cool iv been looking for the dvds but every were i look there gone sold out never had them excuses excuses damn clerks

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

I love this show. The story is actually original and very well-written besides; even the throwaway filler episodes are highly entertaining.

[Roto13]

Fact? It's a frigging anime.

[sir helix]

yes but other anime have fact behind them so how do you no that lil slugger isnt jus a police cover up that someone herd about and made a show but they were caught so that explains why the show was cut short thats wat i thank
oh and if ur gonna jus dog peaple about therys than get of my thred

[Roto13]

... No.

[cloud20747]

I love this anime...

[sir helix]

im so obbsessed iv made a bat replica and terrized my friends nighborhood as lil slugger

[Zeromus_X]

Possibly my favorite anime.

...Although the symbolism has probably been dissected to the point where everything is obvious.

[TurkSlayer]

I feel it was one of the best animes ever made. But now I hate reading psychological thrillers because I can never find anything quite as psychologically facsinating as this.

I owe several of my current intrests to this show.

[kikimm]

Yeah, I don't think there's any fact involved. But it's still a really great show. THIS is why I'm still pretty interested in anime. Even though I haven't seen the whole thing, and obviously haven't spent enough time with it to understand it yet, it's great. I loved the episode with the three suicidal people.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

The whole Li'l Slugger/Shonen Bat phenomenon was derived from actual incidents in Japan of schoolkids committing murders with baseball bats and so forth. And in Japan, in the interest of protecting a perpetrator's privacy, he'll only be referred to publically by way of a pseudonym such as "Shonen A."

Paranoia Agent has no basis in fact when it comes to specific circumstances, of course, but many of its integral plot points do bear some pretty significant influences from modern Japanese society.

[sir helix]

iv been looking and i found out that in kobe japan an unknown 15 year old boy was cought after brutaly beating a middle aged man to death w a bat and linked him to other murders so i thank i found my lil slugger

[Zeromus_X]

I loved the episode with the three suicidal people.

Probably my favorite episode, even though it has nearly nothing to do witht the main plot. xD

[NeoCracker]

This is one of the best anime ever made. The concepts were very original. It ranks right up there with shows like Bebop.

[Roto13]

Second best psycho-anime. Right after Lain.

[sir helix]

i was up for 15 hours lookimg up baseball bat murders in japan and they all have to do with peaple being paranoid and some of the killers decapitated animals and humans one boy killed his oun mother w a BAT i plan to not stop searching till i find lil slugger cus i beleve hes still out there somewere waiting to strike agean

[Roto13]

Yeah, good luck with that.

Waiting to strike again? When did he first strike? Youve mentioned people being paranoid, but not this little slugger.

Yeah, good luck with that.

Um... ok. The show is BASED on true incidents... I seriously doubt there was already a kid out on golden blades and a golden baseball bat, and if there is, he's probably gone obsessed and wants to harm people with baseball bats.

[sir helix]

[sexy yuna]

[sir helix]

listion up any one iv learned about the most brutal lil slugger hit yet.
a boys head was found on top of a flag pole in KOBE JAPAN. cops arrested a suspect and found a jar full of toungs on him

[~SapphireStar~]

This is just becoming more disturbing. Who would want to research this and what for?!

[boris no no]

So I thiiink this thread is about the anime series Paranoia Agent.. O_o

One of my favourite animes (although I havn't finished watching it :OOOO) Fantastic. My favourite episode (so far) is the one where they think they've caught Shogan Bat (Yeah I have the Japanese version ;) So Subs FTW!!) but its the guy obsessed with RPGs xD And they police man and his assitant end up going through all the attacks in an RPG :D So funny.
If people like this I advise you go watch Monster, although Monster is a hell of a lot bloodier its a fantastic psycho thriller. Awesome ^^

[Roto13]

My favourite episode is the one where Lil' Slugger meets the detective's wife she's awesome.

[The Omega Weapon]

The show is great to watch, and I do believed its based somewhat on fact, but the stories themselves is not real

[sir helix]

all i hear is the same stuff over and over yall say no fact wel i got proof

[~SapphireStar~]

What? That the actual character from this anime exists? How can you when its an anime? Murders have been occuring since the dawn of time and yes baseball bats have been used as lethal weapons. But saying your going to track down this li'slugger is ridic cause the kid doesnt exist. Its just a bunch of sick people killing others with baseball bats, nothing more. Thats the only connection to the anime, people die by baseball bats.

[sir helix]

some sick thangs have happened to the victems and one subject keeps getting away and every time he does another murder happens i new this would happen you just thank im crazy dont ya

[~SapphireStar~]

In a word; yes.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Shogan Bat (Yeah I have the Japanese version ;) So Subs FTW!!)It's Sho<i>nen</i> Bat. You must be watching some pretty jacked-up subtitles.
If people like this I advise you go watch Monster, although Monster is a hell of a lot bloodier its a fantastic psycho thriller. Awesome ^^I'm reading the Monster manga as each volume is released, and yeah, it's prettymuch the best thing ever.

[NeoCracker]

I preffer the sound of Lil slugger too Shonen bat, but thats just me. I think the dub is just fine, no real problems. However it is funny in AMV Hell three when the have clips of people getting hit by lil slugger to Batman, and it ends the clip with the words Shonen Batman.

[sir helix]

In a word; yes.

hooray now the whole damn world thanks im frigging nuts waaahooooo

[~SapphireStar~]

In a word; yes.
What?

[sir helix]

you thank im crazy

[~SapphireStar~]

Yes I do. If you want to look at these murders as a hobby fair enough. But to say they are related to a fictional character is madness.

[sir helix]

will you stop dogging me im jus sayin that the charecter is based on all these murders

[Miriel]

I saw one or two episodes. I really really really like the intro.

[sir helix]

me to

[NeoCracker]

The intro to that show is the weirdest intro to any show I have seen in my entire life. But yes, it is great.

[sir helix]

i like the music that plays during the show if u dont no what i nean then visit WWW.PARANOIAAGENT.COM it plays at the home page

[Alixsar]

I was sick one day so I watched the entire series in one sitting, and it was pretty nuts. The episode with the four women gossiping is probably my favorite. The three suicidal people was almost as good. In the end, I liked the series but I feel obligated to hate it. After all, this is a show where a...no, I don't even want to get into it.

[sir helix]

the entire series man ur lucky

[NeoCracker]

My favorite Episode was either the one where The fake little slugger gets hitI believe its 10, or Radar man, episode 12.

[sir helix]

my favorite is radar man

[black_cloud]

This Series Rocked.
And Can Someone Please Help me With The
"Bold THing?"
everytime i try it It Comes Out Wrong

[Shoeberto]

I was really in love with this show last summer when Adult Swim first ran it. I like rewatching it, too, though I haven't watched it in order, or watched it with so much attention as before, so it hasn't been as good. I'd like to really sit and watch it with full attention sometime again.

[eemica]

I like the show. I think its really good. But it would come in late at night and sometimes freak me out. [certain episodes]
But, overall, its a good anime.
And the opening and the ending themes are the best.
XD

[sir helix]

yes the show was creepy especaly for those of us that realy beleave in the shonin b ..... hhahahahahahahahahahahaha hicup lol

[Roto13]

Waaaaaay old.

[Sylvie]

I really, really wish you would stop bumping this annoying thread.

[kikimm]

Relax, dudes. You're not helping. Especially if you think that this thread is old - the last post before this was at the end of July. It's still cool. ;D Although, sir helix, if you don't have anything major, or new to introduce to the thread, I would advise against posting in it. It's okay to let the topic about one of your favourite shows die off. :P

[escobert]

I wish I still had cable to watch it :( Good show.

[sir helix]

why don't you fools believe me the killer is real c'mon man

[Roto13]

Because he wasn't. And people will like you more if you don't call them names.

[Tasura]

I liked the opening song immensely =D

[Sylvie]

why don't you fools believe me the killer is real c'mon man

1. Life isn't an anime.

2. The killer is not freakin' real.

3. You're not going to find him by reading articles about baseball bat murders. He's not real. The show is inspired by them, and the murders aren't inspired by the show.

NOT. REAL.

[sir helix]

ok if a cid knight will please close this thread its nothing but trouble thanks

[kikimm]

I agree with you. I don't see this going anywhere anymore. And yes, like roto said - don't call people names. Or else I'll get out the belt.
