There well prolly be spoilers in this post

Oh yay.
There's already a thread.

For those of you who've yet to understand Paranoia Agent you need to watch it over >> and over.
It's an extermly symbolic anime and I can only explain so much.
All of the characters suffer from realistic mental illnesses.
Brought on them due to the strains and criticism that humans put on each other.
There's a variety of themes featured in the anime,here are some.

-Society pulls down society.
-Everyone is insane.
-Madness is the reality ( This is the most obvious one. At the end as Maromi consumes everyone. Maromi is the madness and as you can see everyone is apart of it. Our world is shaped out of madness that's hidden by the word " reality". )
- We all have an obsession
- It's very easy to lose your identity to yourself.
- The difference between reality and fantasy is the fact that reality is more accepted and fantasy is pleasing and taboo.


There's way more I could list.
You really have to pick at Paranoia Agent and watch carefully.
Once you get it , it's like a brain slap or something. It's amazing.
I really suggest it to anyone who's into deep thinking and solving puzzles.
