    just because your paranoid dose'nt mean there not after you!

    this is anime about a series of attacks in a small town by a bat weilding hooigan called lil' slugger. each episode follows the story of a victim of the assalent, giving us backgound info on there daily lives and ends shortly after there assult. interstingly all of the vitems seem to be suffering from diffrent mental disorders. including split personality disoder and work indused depresion. this is one of the most origanal anime i have seen and though not a commedy the ending to episode four had me and my sister laughing out loud. one of the best things about this seris is the into. it worth watching every episode, but im not gonna tell u why :P !

    Inriguing beguiling masterpiece to treasure

    From the crazy song on the opening credits and the laughing characters dancing like mentalists you know this is going to be special. A beautiful anime style and expertly crafted story telling make this one of the most watchable animes ever. Even people who aren't into anime should dig this.

    I'm gagging for the next disc to be released and hope the series can maintain its momentum.
