We missed most of the International Manga & Anime Festival due to a mix up in dates but we did manage to sneak in to tonight’s awards ceremony and free screening of some episodes of the very strange Paranoia Agent. It was kind of a cool setting – I really liked how they set up the County Hall with the five screens and it was definitely a different way of watching fone rom the usual he big screen.

This particular series involves a mysterious boy on golden rollerblades and golden bat who is attacking people in the city. As episodes go on you start to question if he is a real person or a figment of the imagination. We got to the end of Episode 4 or something like that – just enough for a taster and to pique our curiousity. I definitely want to know what happens at the end so I’m off to find some episode guides …
