i have plenty of other worthwhile anime to start instead. thanks.
what's the story behind that? should i even start it or was that low score given because of some personal issue you had with the anime?
If you end up confused as to any of the factions, you should throw me a message and I'll fill you in, as they get thrown around frequently and I spent an episode or two with difficulty following the story until I decided to google the terms to see what they mean. I believe there's three main factions. The biggest issue people seemed to have with following the story was losing track of what the terms meant.
One of my favourite ED's, by the way.
As for Paranoia Agent, it's a massive mindfuck of epic proportions. If you're familiar with Satoshi Kon at all, it's his masterpiece. After writing the script for Paprika (the film Inception was largely based on) he had a -lot- of unused ideas, all of which he decided to wrap into Paranoia Agent. It's a series with a clear plotline that, because of its origins, also contains some episodic outings in the middle.
It's a masterpiece for sure, though. The one thing I can guarantee you is that whether or not you take something away from the message of Paranoia Agent, you will never have experienced such a way of expressing it before. It's a very unique anime, one of the creepiest and most disturbing I've ever seen. It's very Japanese, also, there are a lot of things that are difficult to understand for non-Japanese natives like myself. For example, in the episode you reference, when something bad is about to happen to the nice fat kid (while he's walking with the jealous kid), he's holding a palm tree in his hands, seemingly for no reason. The palm tree is a symbol of victory in Japan.
