Review: Paranoia Agent #1
Paul •
I’ve posted my review of the first volume of Satoshi Kon’s (director of Perfect Blue, Tokyo Godfathers) eagerly awaited series Paranoia Agent; four mind bending episodes of psychologic terror! Out now in the UK courtesy of MVM.
- Satoshi Kon is fast establishing himself as one of the world’s greatest animation directors and with Paranoia Agent, he has done it again! However, this is certainly not a series for the weak of heart as it takes an unflinching and frankly disturbing look at human nature. This first volume is at times euphoric and surreal as it weaves the type of thought provoking and complex thriller that only Kon can produce, but also offers several moments of intense psychological horror; it ultimately makes for disturbing yet compulsive viewing!
