Standout episodes

01

Enter Lil' Slugger2004-02-03

The premiere establishes the central conceit with precision: Tsukiko Sagi, the creator of a beloved mascot character, is attacked by a bat-wielding boy on roller skates. The episode is built on dread and the unsettling texture of contemporary Tokyo - mundane surfaces concealing unbearable pressure.

Happy Family Planning2004-03-30

Three strangers who met online plan a group suicide and keep failing in increasingly absurd ways. The episode is a tonal departure - darkly comic, structurally unusual - and stands as one of the most inventive single episodes of 2000s anime.
