  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.

  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 .
