CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

Hey, this is my first time starting a thread, but I though it was warranted.

Has anyone seen this trailer yet? I mean....wow.

By the same man who brought us Parinoia Agent, and many other great anime.

yeah. i'm interested in this movie. i dunno if my parents'll let me go watch it cause i think it's gonna be rated R. paranoia agent was the only other work i've seen by satoshi kon.

I am a major Satoshi Kon fan. I've seen all of Paranoia Agent (And I loved it) as well as Perfect Blue.

I am definitely looking forward Paprika.

The trailer looks incredibly stunning. . . completely nonsensical, but stunning. I'm really interested to see it, but I'll first have to find out why it's rated "R."

I know why it got the R rating. The MPAA said "For violent and sexual images".

This looks amazing.... o_o
I've only seen two of Kon's works (Millennium Actress and Paranoia Agent), but I'd really like to see this. Mr. Kon occasionally gets too risque for my tastes (as in certain episodes of PA...but, other PA episodes I absolutely loved. Mixed bag. ^ ^;; ), but this movie just looks so.....wow. So ridiculously imaginative. o_o

Knowing Kon's style. It's not for flashy or pointless reasons. Kon tends to do things for a reason other than fanservice. So essentially, his stuff really is for mature audiences.

Look at Perfect Blue for example... It's pretty much his most explicit work ever. I'd consider it the A Clockwork Orange of anime.

*whistles*

That animation is stunning. Absolutely stunning.

However, I'm not going to see it. I've seen PG-13 Anime films which have given me nightmares from some scenes, so I'm going to stay far away from this.

And because, even though his animation is truly breath taking, I don't yet like any of Kon-san's work. Although I've only seen Millennium Actress so far.

I thought it looks amazing, and I'd like to see it... but will probably never get around to it. XD;; I'll probably get it from netflix after it comes out on DVD.

Some of Kon's work tend to be psychological thrillers, mainly Paranoia Agent, Perfect Blue, and now Paprika. So if you didn't like Millennium Actress, you may like his psychological thrillers; unless you get frightened by them.

There's also Tokyo Godfathers, which I hear is pretty good.

I now have reason to wait impatiently for May.

This movie looks GREAT! I really want to see it despite the R rating. It looks better than Paranoia Agent and that's sayin' something.

I'm plugging my thread in a way, but there's apparently going to be a screening of Paprika tomorrow at D.C.
