Yes, Paranoia Agent and Paprika are both written/directed by Satoshi Kon.

[marrost]

thats the best you can come up with? haahahahai really should have tried harder to raise the bar of your "you all suck." frankly i couldn't give a shit since reading the "news" of this website is enough of a joke in itself.

[dashboard1190]

I don't really care for anime.

[meeotch]

satoshi is for the most part, brilliant

[rosieh93]

paprika is the name of blue's friend in blues clues..
i hoped it was about that but i have a feeling its not

[slickwataris]

I just found an mp3 of the song used for the opening sequence. It's amazing.

[meeotch]

I've never been into anything like this but it looks rather interesting.

[Skadrist]

I saw the poster and it had some character that looked like an Asian version of Hugo Chavez.

[buysoap]

I am interested in seeing this, not gonna lie

I checked the Chicago Tribune. No Paprika.

It's definitely something you'll want/have to see more than once.

[buysoap]

Is there any kind of release date on it at all?

[slickwataris]

the only thing I found out is what I already posted. It'll probably be floating around the major cities for the next month or two and eventually go to dvd soon after.

I've been waiting for this to come out since mid-last year. Finally...

Satoshi Kon's Paprika, which opened on Friday, May 25 on two screens in New York City, took in an estimated US$35,600 from Friday to Sunday, and a total of US$45,600 over the four-day weekend. These figures give Paprika the second-best per-screen average for either period, after Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. For comparison, Kon's Perfect Blue took in US$9,600 (on one screen) in its US opening weekend, while Millennium Actress brought in US$18,732 (six screens). The opening-weekend gross of Tokyo Godfathers was US$37,127, but that film opened in eight theaters.

[IAmNietzche]

Didn't really like it. Oh well.

[buysoap]

I'm here, and everyone likes me.

[buysoap]

interesting.
Perfect Blue and Tokyo Godfather posters are in the film.

[slickwataris]

Perfect Blue and Tokyo Godfather posters are in the film.
yep, and Millennium Actress. There's a rumor the last poster "Dreaming Kids" is Kon's next film.

[slickwataris]

so apparently it opens tomorrow in some art theater in Chicago and in Evanston.

[buysoap]

yep, and Millennium Actress. There's a rumor the last poster "Dreaming Kids" is Kon's next film.
I wasn't sure if Millenium was there because I turned to my friend and said "Perfect Blue!" because I love that movie. In fact, it was my favorite "serious" (not including anime with giant robots and what not) anime until.. well, really, until I saw this.

The posters were in order of release oldest-newest. I'm surprised they didn't include Paranoia Agent which is very similar to Paprika. I wasn't very big on Millennium Actress the first time I saw it. I want to see it again though.

My friend told me to watch Paranoia Agent after the movie ended, haha

It's a great show, I watched it when it was on adult swim. They have a sale going on at http://www.rightstuf.com/ on dvds from Geneon, 10 for $50 or 25 for $100. PA is included, I plan on picking it up.

[WakingTheMisery]

I still need to see this shitttt

[WakingTheMisery]

Is it all subtitles?

[slickwataris]

Is it all subtitles?
indeed

sony doesn't dub their anime unless it's a TV series.

[Tom Good]

I don't really care for anime either, but this movie should be cool. Count me in.

[buysoap]

I downloaded the soundtrack for it last night, haha. So trippy.

[WakingTheMisery]

If its in a theater around here I will go. If not, I'll definitely buy the DVD.

[slickwataris]

that looks pretty nuts.
the content all looked pretty fucking weird, but the japanese always seem to have the happiest music playing no matter what.

The song from the trailer is epic.

Susumu Hirasawa is a genius.
