Yeah, the first episode was not to see how the ratings were; I think it was more of a free preview to entice people to subscribe to WOWOW just to watch it. Some people think it's worth it, some wouldn't. Well, if they showed the first ep of Paranoia Agent and I lived in Japan, I would SO subscribe if I had the money.. definitely!!


I have a feeling this will be like a lot of other anime which just use the historical period as a background and manipulate the existing scenario so that they can create their own story. Perhaps use some of the important events that happened and modify things around...

I wonder if there have ever been any anime set in real historical settings and managed to get the facts right - and not from a largely civilian point of view (ala Grave of the Fireflies). Maybe, er, something like Schindler's List or something. (I'm assuming Schindler's List is historically accurate)
