On this Halloween week we dive into Paranoia Agent, Satoshi Kon’s only TV series and one of the most haunting, prophetic anime ever made.
We look at how Paranoia Agent uses urban legend, media hysteria, and collective delusion to show society’s need for escapism — and why the series feels even more relevant today in the era of viral fear, online panic cycles, and cultural burnout.
