    Saw this anime in the most classic Adult Swim way, waking up in the middle of the night to it and not understanding the context at all. It&apos;s lived in the back of my memory ever since.

    Whatever localizer named him Lil&apos; Slugger was a visionary

    This anime scared me as a kid because i didn&apos;t understand it, now it scares me as an adult because i do.

    the sheer number of psychosocial problems being treated with bat based cranial trauma is impressive

    She created the next big thing but it wasn&apos;t through creativity and passion and love, but rather fear and dread and anxiety, the golden bat boy takes over society just as much as her last creation did but in a very different way, its a great anime/story

    Rip to the goat, satoshi kon&apos;s body of work is incredibly profound no matter where you look, and i consider myself lucky to have been born in the same era as him.

    This is a true critique of Japanese society we&apos;ve seen many times in real life. Can&apos;t keep up with a deadline? You&apos;ll probably be yelled at by your manager/management for something you may not be in control of. Maybe you&apos;ll even push yourself to exhaustion or sickness. <br><br>Go outside of what is considered &quot;normal&quot; in a company to get a deadline done? You&apos;ll again be yelled at and blamed. Maybe even fired and have a whole multi-page, bullet points of what you supposedly did wrong. Meanwhile, people who have done much worse are elevated, praised (at least within the company).<br><br>A society which has a strict hierarchy, where individuality may be shunned, and conformity is the &quot;only way forward&quot;. Maybe it&apos;s to the point where management asks you to die your hair black, even if your natural hair color is another (red, blonde, etc). <br><br>Satoshi Kon is a legend and will, and still is, missed.

    The older I get, the more I see, and the more I understand, the stronger and more powerful of a work of art Paranoia Agent becomes.

    I absolutely love how Shonen Bat shows up for the corrupt, PDF file character, but instead of hitting him on the head he get&apos;s captured instead and still acts as a temporary solution that he was craving for. I also will never forget how powerful the scene with Koichi&apos;s wife was, it still sends shivers down my spine, and it&apos;s done so effectively because we have seen so many victims before this, but now we see this calm, stoic resistance.

    I love how the three musketeers is a representation that human connection and community is only achievable after death in a society that profitable and promotes alienation .
