Anime tip of the day: check out Satoshi Kon's "Paranoia Agent", now just showing up in US video stores. It's a 13-part series in the grand tradition of Anno's "Evangelion" and McGoohan's "The Prisoner" -- stylish, vivid, entertaining, hilarious, and subversive as heck. The clues pile up until the end... but do let the final credits roll through, because there's one more "preview" after the finale which adds a marvelous plot twist. Kon, the creator of the superlative "Millenium Actress" and "Tokyo Godfathers", is one of the finest progressive anime artists out there today.
