Is it just me, or do some of the characters in Paranoia agent (mostly the victims) relate to the 7 deadly sins?
spoiler[Tskiko: Sloth
She hurts herself just to cut work.
Kawasu:Greed
He'll do anything to get money for his debts
Yuichi: Envy
He envys Ushiyama when Ushi is popular
Ushiyama: Gluttony
He's FAT!
Maria/Chono: Lust
HALF OF HER IS A WHORE!
Hirukawa: Pride
He was a house to shoe his pide, he is a policeman, and he caught "Lil slugger"
Taeko Hirukawa:Wrath
She is angry at her uncle]

Is this true? Or am I just examining it TOO closely?

You comments?

I guess so, but I think they're from some religion too, (I'm not very religious)

I never noticed that before. However, that leaves out some of the other victims. Where does Kozuka fit in? How about Misae Ikari? What about the countless other people attacked by Little Slugger? Good creative thinking, and maybe it's right, but what about the other characters? I love dissecting an anime like it's some novel for English class.
since it makes me feel so smart for once

Please read an encyclopedia right away.

Who knew that Se7en was really based on the humunculi?

Either that get into religions...I can see from FMA of how you got that idea but don't make assumptions of religion specially since there are many different types of religions out there.

Umm... I didn't make an assumption to religion; I provided a link to the encyclopedia definition of the seven deadly sins. I suppose you would object to this as well? Please read posts carefully before you attempt a rebuttal.

We all make mistakes I probably should of placed animekid08 in the post, so it's just as much as my mistake as it is yours.

You may have something here...

I don't know. I think each of the victims has their own psychological (sp?) hangups which is entirely the point of the show for me.

I really enjoyed the episodes I have managed to catch on TV.
