When Satoshi Kon died last year, the outpouring of grief from the animation community was the strongest I had seen since the death of legendary Looney Tunes director Chuck Jones in 2002. Kon was frankly taken before his time, a genius who took the best mind-bending aspects of American thrillers and suffused them with life, humor and true horror. Many have compared him to David Lynch and Alfred Hitchcock, though I'd argue he's a far more disciplined director than Lynch, and his recurring theme of identity brings him more in line with the master Hitchcock.

, the stellar dub elevates it to an even higher level in my esteem. New Generation Pictures, a company who I can sometimes find to be hit-or-miss in their dubbing (though not nearly as inconsistent as, say, Canada's Ocean Group), outdid themselves here, and many of the actors here give the performances of their careers.
THE CAST
DETECTIVE KEIICHI IKARI (Michael McConnohie)-Michael is an actor I have a great amount of respect for, always turning in rock-solid performances with that great, gravelly voice. Here, he gets a character truly worthy of his skill, an aging detective who proves to be just as insecure and wracked with self-doubt over his place in the world as the rest of the cast. And yet, Ikari also proves to be ultimately heroic by the end of the series, one of the few characters who confronts and conquers his problems. Michaelnails all of this, as well as the more comedic moments early on when Ikari is frustrated beyond belief by the 'Little Slugger' case.
DETECTIVE MITSUHIRO MANIWA (Liam O'Brien)
Paranoia Agent Episode 1
-Here's another actor I have a lot of love for, always turning in great work, even in dreck like Naruto. Liam has a different challenge as Maniwa: he starts off as kind of an 'audience surrogate', openly questioning the routine investigation tactics Ikari favors and trying to get inside the heads of the Slugger's victims in order to catch him. Liam has a charming, youthful voice, so he gets us to like Maniwa right away. And yet, this detective also succumbs to paranoia and fear as the series progresses, eventually donning a superhero costume as he tries to pinpoint the origin of Little Slugger. What Liam does here is interesting; instead of going for a stereotypical 'crazy' tone, he takes Maniwa's seemingly reasonable, questioning nature and amplifies it to a fever pitch. We get caught up in his mad rush of discovery even as we question his sanity.TSUKIKO SAGI (Michelle Ruff)-Our third 'key character' of sorts, Tsukiko is the first victim of Little Slugger, and she turns out to be an extremely troubled young woman. Michelle tends to play these quiet types fairly often, yet she brings a new, haunted quality to Tsukiko that I don't think I've heard from her before. It's a performance that makes you keep your eye on this strange girl; she's hiding something, but what? Michelle's terrific performance is key to this ambiguity at the heart of the series.
MAROMI (Carrie Savage)-Now here's a delightful little performance. Carrie tends to play sugary sweet characters, and Maromi doesn't seem all that different at first: she's a cute little anthropomorphic dog created for an animated show by Tsukiko. Yet we learn rather quickly that Maromi is not what she appears to be, turning out to possibly be even creepier and more malevolent than Little Slugger himself. As a result, Carrie's high-pitched, babyish tones take on a strange, eerie quality, instantly ratcheting up the tension of any scene where she speaks. It's a great example of playing against our expectations, and Carrie commits completely to Maromi's ultimate creep factor. She also makes the educational lessons we learn about how an anime is produced in episode 10 (yes, this really happens) rather amusing.
THE OLD MAN (William Frederick Knight)-William seems to have been playing older men since the beginning of his dub career, but this might be his best. The old man seems to be off his rocker, but actually turns out to be quite key to the mystery of Little Slugger, and William manages to pull off that mix of age, hidden wisdom, and nuttiness wonderfully.
LITTLE SLUGGER/MAKOTO KOZUKA (Sam Regal)-Sam has one of those young voices that can suit a variety of characters, and he's quite creepy as Slugger early on, but he gets to shift that performance as our perception of Slugger changes. In episode 5, for example, we find out that a young boy named Makoto Kozuka, who we think we've been seeing as Slugger the whole time, is actually a copycat (he later confesses that he only attacked two people), and has his own delusion about the world. He sees the world as an RPG and himself as the hero, and Sam makes this demented worldview very funny as Kozuka persists in his delusions and takes the two detectives along with him. Sam also does a great job with the growls and snarls of the taller, more demonic Little Slugger we see in the latter part of the series.
MISAE IKARI (Melodee Spevack)-Ikari's terminally ill wife, Misae doesn't appear until Episode 11, and she gets the episode almost entirely to herself as she confronts Little Slugger and tells him about her past and why she no longer 'needs' Slugger. Melodee has a lot of dialogue in a single episode as a result, and she does a terrific job with all of it, getting across the idea that Misae is awfully frail without overdoing it, yet also conveying her hidden strength. Melodee also pitches her voice higher when we see a vision of a younger Misae in Ikari's fantasy world in the series finale.
MASAMI HIRUKAWA (Deem Bristow)-The late Mr. Bristow is probably best known for his performances as Dr. Eggman in the first two Sonic Adventure games, but he definitely has better material to work with here. Hirukawa turns out to be one of the most despicable characters in the series, a corrupt cop who doesn't see anything wrong with helping run a prostitution ring or installing a video camera in his daughter's room so he can watch her undress (all together now: eeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwww!). Bristow's aged voice provides a terrific contrast to his behavior, sounding 'noble' even in the depths of depravity.
AKIO KAWAZU (Doug Stone)-Stone gives this slimy, frog-like reporter an appropriately throaty voice, and as a result this paparazzi ends up as another creep we can root against.
HARUMI CHONO/'MARIA' (Erica Shaffer)-Erica does a great job with both Harumi's normal, kindly teacher personality and the harsh prostitute 'Maria' personality. Not much else to say, really.
YUICHI TARA (Johnny Yong Bosch)-Another shrewd bit of 'playing against expectations', I'm not sure Bosch has ever played a character this young before. Sure, he's got a great, youthful voice, but he tends to play teenagers or young adults, not elementary school students. Still, much like with Carrie and Maromi, this provides a delicious bit of playing around with Bosch's usual range. Yuichi at first seems like a heck of a guy, a typical Bosch character, but he turns out to be tormented by jealousy and an inferiority complex that ultimately leads Little Slugger right to him, and Bosch does a great job with this shift in perception.
TAEKO HIRUKAWA (Kari Wahlgren)-As always, Kari is great, portraying Taeko's all-abiding love for her father expertly, and then doing a wonderful job with Taeko's feelings of betrayal and disgust when she finds the computer folder full of pictures of her undressing, and then the camera that took them in her room.
Most of the other characters are extras or small roles, but they're all performed well, with folks like Kirk Thornton, Dave Mallow, Megan Hollingshead, Wendee Lee, and Steve Blum popping up to expertly do small roles here and there. The scripting is equally excellent, and I rather like the translation of 'Shonen Bat' to 'Little Slugger', to be honest. All in all, it's quickly become one of my favorite dubs.

Paranoia Agent Episode 3 English Dub Sub

, and then probably Black Butler.DVD 3: Serial Psychosis
| Synopsis: |
Lil' Slugger/Shonen Bat becomes a legend as word of his exploits spreads. To those who are suicidal he is a savior; to others he is a favorite topic of gossip and the subject of a growing body of urban myth. To those struggling to get the animated show Maromi the Dog on the air, though, he is a deadly menace who seems intent on striking down the entire staff. |
| Review: |
With the aptly-named 'Serial Psychosis' writer/director Satoshi Kon steps Paranoia Agent away from the main storyline established in the earlier two volumes to look at the peripheral effects of Lil' Slugger's actions and growing infamy. In one episode we have a mismatched trio merrily trying to figure out the least messy way to commit suicide and lamenting that Lil' Slugger hasn't come to visit them yet – and when he finally does, the result isn't what you might expect. (Pay careful attention to the artistry towards the end of the episode, after the trio's encounter with Lil' Slugger, or you'll miss a telling revelation which only throws up a whole fresh batch of questions about the episode.) In another episode, women gossip about the alleged exploits of Lil' Slugger, with some of their stories being quite far-fetched. The volume rounds out by bringing back Maromi, the doglike creation of the distressed Tsukiko, in a faux behind-the-scenes story about the deaths involved in the production of his anime and a troubled gopher/production assistant in the midst of them – although Lil' Slugger is, of course, also involved. That episode is also noteworthy for providing a rare breakdown of what, exactly, the various positions listed in the credits are responsible for in the production of an anime episode. What these episodes do not do is give any kind of continuation on story elements raised in the first two volumes. Although the episodes are all creative and well-written, whether or not 'Serial Psychosis' actually contributes much to the Paranoia Agent story beyond furthering the mystique of Lil' Slugger is debatable, as these three episodes have the feel of filler. We are talking about the work of Satoshi Kon, though, so it's entirely possible that their importance and relevance will become apparent in the fourth and final volume. There's certainly no shortage of the series' typical disconcerting elements laced throughout these episodes, especially the way some characters move their mouths when they talk or the jaunty tunes we hear while characters set up their own suicides. And let's not forget the seemingly happy girl who can't be more than 10 or 11 who seems as fiercely committed to killing herself as the two older men she has a suicide pact with. (Never let it be said that Kon isn't daring in his subject matter!) The artistry and technical merits of Paranoia Agent continue to be superb, easily making it one of the top titles of the past year in both regards. Its artistry doesn't stick out as much as some other titles because it isn't as bright, flashy, and pretty, which is why you might not notice the quality at first. Character designs favor rounded features and, unlike with most anime titles, the artists aren't shy about using unattractive and unappealing designs even for protagonist roles. The quality of the work is still exceptional, though. Also, the artists have discovered exactly how creepy a character with an oversized mouth and big teeth looks when talking and exploited it fully, which suits the series quite well. Backgrounds and their integration with the character animation are as good as you'll see in series animation, and animation itself doesn't get much smoother. Also watch for some creative stylistic effects in episodes 9 and 10. Musical scoring and sound effects are very well-done, with the director knowing exactly when to let a scene pass without accompaniment or spruce it up with appropriate – or in some cases diametrically inappropriate - ditties. Music and graphic elements come together to produce one of the best-made and most effective openers of recent memory; any good opener should not only be quality work but should also set the tone for the series, and Paranoia Agent's opener has both factors strongly in its favor. (Anyone else find those maniacally laughing heads to be at least a bit unnerving?) The odd closer is also a delight to watch. Cast credits in the closer list each character with both their English and Japanese voice actors at the same time, which is always a plus in my book. The English script for Paranoia Agent is done the way a good dub script should be done: stay as close to the original script as possible, but alter wording where necessary to keep it sounding smooth. The only notable discrepancy between the two scripts is one place where a mother refers to her son's 'dinner' in the dub but 'midnight snack' in the sub. And people will, of course, quibble endlessly over the English script translating Shonen Bat to Lil' Slugger (although, interestingly, there are a couple of places where 'Shonen Bat' sneaks into the dub, too). The dub itself is well-done; that it's not one of the better examples of lip-synching out there is irrelevant to the evaluation, since clearly that was sacrificed to maintaining the flow of the dialogue. All of the cast members are New Generation regulars who turn in uniformly solid performances, though the roles in this volume are never longer than a full episode. Extras found on 'Serial Psychosis' include company previews, character designs, and the cover art from the Japanese releases of the DVDs. The reversible cover on this and other volumes features some of this original cover art. Menu Design is also good, with a separate 'signs only' subtitling option as well as a full English sub option – which is, like any proper anime DVD production, separate from the language options. The graphic content in this volume is as bloody as in previous volumes and subject matter is mature. This is a series for adults, not the kiddies. Anime fans have been waiting for years for Satoshi Kon to finally produce a series, and he's certainly not disappointing with this effort. Paranoia Agent is not only creative and original but a perfect example of a series where all the show's elements combine together to establish a certain mood. It is an unsettling, disconcerting series, but that's exactly what it was meant to be. |
