Adult Swim's Toonami official Facebook account announced on Wednesday that a fan-favorite series will return to the block beginning this month. Satoshi Kon's Paranoia Agent is back on the station beginning April 25th.
The spot being snagged by Paranoia Agent is the 1:00 am time, which currently is occupied by Food Wars! Shokugeki No Soma, another popular series. Not to be alarmed however as Jason DeMarco announced the same day that they will be streaming the final three seasons of Food Wars! once they finish aquiring a new deal for different rights.
Directed by Kon, the series originally aired on the station back in 2005. Funimation recently licensed Paranoia Agent in February and has been streaming English dub and sub since February 4th. Plans for the first blu-ray release of the show are also in place for later this year.
