Forever a masterpiece. Paranoia Agent needs to be on the list of every person claiming to be a fan of the art form.

Paranoia Agent is a warning to wake up from your paranoia, because most never will.

As flawed as it is, Paranoia Agent is the closest to Lovecraftian horror you will find short of Junji Ito.
