    This is fast becoming like a manga Twilight Zone. Each disc gets more random in the events that occur. This disc features another 3 well written episodes. In one 3 people who meet on the internet decide to commit suicide together only to encounter Lil' Slugger on their way. Not the usual saviour from darkness he usual presents. The second episode sees the cult of Lil' Slugger and the myths he now portrays being taken to the extreme. It would seem not everyone sees him as something bad. The last episode is the standout of the disc. It sees the construction of an cartoon featuring the pink cute character being constructed and each of the members of a animation team explained. The purpose and outcome is a strange tale of desperation.

    Paranoia Agent continues as a bizarre and yet attractive story. There is no obvious place for it to turn when each new episode begins. Darkness will enter someones heart and the only thing that is sure is that Lil' Slugger will answer their call. How and why and for who's benefit is never certain.

    A must watch!!

    THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

    We see at the end of the previous volume the revelation of debatably the most shocking death so far, which marked a shift in the series. That was episode 7. Cue episode 8, where we are introduced to an all new set of characters. This episode I felt was better than the following two (which do basically the same thing), but overall it just got pretty confusing. The last episode on here deals with making a programme based on the character Maromi, but even the creator, Tsukiko Sagi, is not shown. That is pretty disappointing especially when compared with volume 2, but on the flipside no one can accuse this anime of becoming stagnant, and I suppose it was time to move on.

    Why is this tame foolishness 18 rated? Its the poorest film I seen in a long time. You are not shown any action at all. This should have been PG rated film.
