Man, Paranoia Agent is great. I've been on a (fairly long and laborious) effort to track down Satoshi Kon's works, and I have yet to be let down. Perfect Blue, Paprika, and my memories of Paranoia Agent on Adult Swim have had major impacts on my tastes. I've had a hankering for several months to do a rewatch, and now is the perfect time. (For me. I don't care about you.)

Here's a playlist link for the dub:

It's worth looking up a mid-90s anime anthology called Memories, which features the short Magnetic Rose. Satoshi Kon wasn't the director, but he was the writer and had a really strong influence on it.

Magnetic Rose has been on my list of a long time. I should just bite the bullet one of these days.

Make sure you're up to episode 6 before Sunday!

I'll try doing write-ups for the 6 eps so far sometime tomorrow, with GIFs as I find them (I'm no stro.)

I watched the first episode last night, and I liked it quite a bit. No idea where the story is going yet though.

Kinda spoiler(?): this series isn't story-heavy, and is highly episodic. There's a resolution but it's not really the "goal" of the series.

I'll watch some it this weekend. It's a great series, and it's been a while since I've seen it.
