Paranoia Agent is a Japanese anime television miniseries about a social phenomenon in Musashino, Tokyo caused by a juvenile serial assailant named Lil' Slugger (Shonen Bat, or Bat Boy in the original Japanese version). The plot relays between a large cast of people affected in some way by the phenomenon; usually Lil' Slugger's victims or the detectives assigned to apprehend him. As each character becomes the focus of the story, disturbing details are often revealed about their secret lives and the truth about Lil' Slugger. It was created by acclaimed Japanese anime director Satoshi Kon - director of 'Perfect Blue', 'Millenium Actress' (
