This might be a stupid question but spoiler[ does the fake and the real Shounen Bat look the same? ]

I've only watch to episode 9 so maybe that comes out then.

They look exactly the same for plot reasons. You'll figure it out.

(HINT: until people start describing him, you never see Lil' Slugger)

Okay I have a question, I have read in alot of threads about this anime, so I decied I want to watch it. So I went to my favorite anime stores website and well they have two different boxsets for this. One is extremly expensive and the other is quite cheap.
So whats up, is one a bootleg, or maybe a import? or is there two diffferent actual Paranoia Agent's. The cheaper one says, Paranoia Agent Tv series, the other one is just Paranoia Agent Dvd box set. I am just a little confused. Thanks for all your help.I looked in the encyclopedia and the only mention the tv series so what's going on?

All right this anime had me thinking too much about what was going on. spoiler[ I kinda got that lil slugger n maromi were just in tsukiko's head. I think. So how did people get beat by an imaginary slugger. The last couple of episodes got all wacked out and confused me some more. I guess rewatching it would help out.] By the way, sup people? This is my 1st time posting.

[EDIT: Since this was your first post, I unbolded your text and added spoiler tags. Bolding is OK, but you don't have to do the whole post, and remember to use spoiler tags so you don't "spoil" something for people who haven't seen everything yet. And welcome. -TK]

Well avalanche that is part of a very fascinateing social phenomena, and one that drives statisticians insane. It is sort of a mass delusion, and yes they do happen. Once an idea gets trapped in the public conscience well it expresses itself. This is not some pseudo pop culture thing either. Civilizations in the past, present, and future go through these little manias.

There was no really good reason why thousands of women were burned alive for being witches. Find a old book on ufos, and read some of the stories there for a hoot. Look at the lockness monster all facts say it cannot happen. Once the public immagination latches on to something people can make it manifest, or alter other things to fit a preconception. Look at the abduction mania thousands of poor souls actually think they are kidnapped every night and tormented by little grey men.

spoiler[So lil slugger comeing to get you when your on the ropes seems plausible. Infact it is more realistic then all of the above, and people who are cornered can work themselves up into just about anything. I have seen people work themselves up ill to get out of things. Hell I knew a guy who could quite literally give himself a fever.]

In a nutshell it dose not take much to give fire to these things. All you need is the right character, at the right time, that performs a specific action, and or role.

One might be the "box set" which only includes volume 1 and the Maromi doll, while the most expensive one would be the one with all 4 volumes. Did the box sets look the same? Paranoia Agent Box is the only legit R1 box which holds all 4 Paranoia Agent volumes.
