I just had a vision: This is the final scene of Paranoia Agent
All the charaters from the series are sitting in a circle, indian-style, holding hands. Maromi is in the center of the circle. Meanwhile Shounen-bat is blading around the circle, tapping each person on the head with his bat saying "Duck". After he goes around a few times, he heads straight for the camera, swinging hard and screaming "Goose!", -cut to black. OK, so that was fiction (I know the 13'th episode has already aired....), but wouldn't that be so awesome.

Episode 12 has been subbed, and I'm quite amazed. This is truly getting to be a very scary, large-scale issue. And I'm quite confused too - when everything on its own was so difficult to understand, putting them all together is just mind-boggling. But it's a brilliant episode. Very, very good. Very.
Apparently the whole thing about Maromi, the bat and all of that, comes from Tsukiko's past. Spoiler for ep12:
Yes, anyway, Maromi is indescribably evil.

As for Maromi, at first I agreed with you but now I'm not entirely so sure: Spoiler:
Anyway I haven't seen the raws and am eagerly awaiting the final episode! |

Ahh...I'm finally up-to-date on the series. I'm greatly enjoying it like always. I'm loving the fact that it's all piecing together. Ep 11 was funny as hell.

Yes I do know what you mean though MAromi has the whole EVIL Ningyou deal going on I'm just not sure yet if Maromi and her "Circle of Peace" is ultimately a bad thing or not "The best intentions..." and all that. |

I watched episode 13.... and... well...
I have no bloody idea. No, no, and no. I'm lost for words. But it is such a masterpiece, yes... And now we have to take each stepping stone, like Maniwa-who-has-become-an-old-man says, and put it together, and it comes around, and around, and around. I don't know... I just don't know.... I have no sanity left...

Maybe it's a discreet call to otakus to stop wallowing in fictionous, ad-hoc relief. :O!
A lot of this is also based on responsibility. What grew from a child's unwillingness to take responsibility (and also could have come across because of her exclusion from society... that might just be another theme.), extends and extends into other people's unwillingness and feeds on the other sign of it - slavishly clinging onto ad-hoc relief in order to forget about the responsibility. I feel so bad writing that... I deserve to be swallowed by Shounen bat :\

Fantastic! Absolutely brilliant! Such a great series, and thanks to you guys for sharing the journey with me. As a gift to fellow fans here is something I think you'll find interesting that I found:
http://www.teslakite.com/freemp3s/ The top two sections contain free downloadable tracks that didn't make it into the Final Paranoia Agent OST, they have been provided by the composer Susumu Hirasawa for free download and are therefore not Warez. Therefore download to your hearts content . |
