In our Satoshi Kon bonus ep Griffin, David and Ben are joined by; “The Burger Boy” himself, one of the two titular Doughboys, member of the oft-mentions Blank-Dough text thread, and most relevantly, host of the Patreon Podcast “Get Anime'd”, Nick Wiger, to discuss Kon’s 2004’s Mystery / Psychological thriller Anime series Paranoia Agent. 

Topics include: Hotel chair placement, nudist towel habits, re-litigation of  “The Dress”, Mad Men memes, and multiple children’s animated movie tangents!

I would absolutely pay extra for a Patreon Tier that shares the dossier each week!!

A few things - both of the detectives wind up escaping into fantasies, but one is nostalgia and one is modern escapism, showing how neither the older nor the younger generation have the answer to this problem. The old man's equations total up to numbers that are relevant to future victims (e.g. 521 is Tsukiko Sagi's apartment number, 1 is Ichi, etc), and that's the significance of the younger detective's equation at the very end of the series, his equation results in a number that will be related to the next event that will cause the cycle to repeat. Great ep, I rewatched the series and couldn't stop thinking about it, subbed just to hear your thoughts.

True or false - griffin pronounces anime that way explicitly because he knows it annoys people?
