Summary Wiki writes : An elementary school boy on inline skates dubbed Lil' Slugger (Shōnen Bat in Japanese, meaning "Bat Boy") is said to be responsible for a series of mysterious street assaults in Tokyo. None of the victims can recall the boy's face and only three distinct details are left in their memories: golden inline skates, a baseball cap, and the weapon: a bent golden baseball bat. Two police detectives, Keiichi Ikari and Mitsuhiro Maniwa, are assigned to the case to track down the perpetrator and put an end to his crimes. Starting with the first victim, Tsukiko Sagi, a shy character designer who created the immensely popular pink dog Maromi, the detectives follow what little clues they have and try to apprehend the mysterious boy. Just when they think they have solved the case, new evidence about the attacker leads them towards a frightening revelation. |
kumi's Paranoia agent review:The series starts out really good but slowly declines into an episodic adventure of a bunch of lost souls trying to find the mysterious "shonen batto". The young child attacking people seems to prey on the psychologically unstable, as each episode details how a certain character was before, during and sometimes after being attacked. It almost seems like "shonen batto" becomes a scape goat fot the people experiencing turmoil in their double lives or shadowy habits. its a good psychological series but the plot seems to be a bit repetative.  |

Favorite character's of the series: |
|
| None: this is actually one of the few series in which i will say i dont have a ffav character. there is a bunch of character that you meet along the plot, and there are 5 main characters, but you dont actually get to spend enough time with each character in order to really be able to say that you genuinely like a specific one best. |
