I've seen that show 2 times, or more like 1 1/2 times. It's one of the best.

Seriously, this took me by complete surprise. I'm in the 30's right now, I assume it just keeps getting better and better?

The show manages to maintain it's quality through the whole run. Towards the end some stuff happens that's more intense than anything that happened before in the show.

This is highly inappropriate for a website such as Newgrounds. You're now banned for 30 days starting now.
However, I'm not good with mathematics so you have 12.8 seconds until you can post on the BBS once again.

Damn shame.

It is

Paprika, Tokyo Godfathers, Roujin Z, all great movies and Paranoia Agent was a great series.

It's rattling when someone who seems almost an ethereal presence is gone, someone you almost always thought would be there and then you remember that they're human too.

Just heard from browsing Twitter; price I pay for not watching all of his shit while he was alive. Cue the "big NOOOOOOOOO" folks.

Really? that's a giant turd full of gay right there. Loved his stuff, esp Perfect Blue + Paprika. Still need to see tokyo godfathers though

Fuck. Now Warner Bros. has an excuse to get away with plagiarism.

His work was some of the most unique I've seen in the world of Anime. I'd say my favorite of his creations was Paranoia Agent and Perfect Blue, both extremely haunting.
I've yet to watch Millennium Actress and Paprika, but I have a lot of free time tonight, perhaps checking them out would be a good way to honor his life.

RIP Satoshi.

Satoshi Kon is a great loss. I really need to see Paprika, now.

Hey guys I gotta ask, have their been any new animes that have came out in 2008+ that are worth watching? I haven't watched many animes for a few years so i'm wondering if their are any new gems.

Anyway, i'm going to watch Chevalier d'Eon this afternoon - should be interesting...

Rainbow is new and it's very good.

I second Rainbow, and also reccomend Baccano and Durarara. In that order, because there's one or two Baccano references in Durarara, and they're funnny only realy if you know them.

Hey Chinko, I need to borrow your wang for a minute.

don't tell me the women breast launches missle?

Oh, so it was pancreatic cancer.
I was beginning to think that Satoshi Kon had either killed himself or been murdered over the Inception controversy.

I'm watching Welcome To The NHK lots lately, probably my second favorite series so far.

oh shit what are you doing.

Does anyone here like Death Note? I fucking love that show.

Rainbow, Baccano, Durarara. Tatami Galaxy, Kuchuu Buranko, Michiko to Hatchin and soul eater.

Wow, thanks for all the recommendations guys!

I've heard of tatami galaxy and soul eater before but never watched either and i've never even heard of the rest of these. Will have to check them out.

Also, is the new FMA series brotherhood any good?

For a series with such a unique plot, it REALLY died once they after episode 17.

Although I have heard a lot of rumors of a new death note manga/anime is in the works, maybe that'll be good but I don't have high hopes...

I thought it was still good until episode 25 or 26ish. After that, I just stopped watching, because I honestly didn't care about the plot anymore. I think they dragged it out too long.

Hey, anything is possible.
Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros. could have hired someone to assassinate Kon in order to shut him up about their plagiarism.
Yes, I know this is largely out of left field, but there have been similar speculations in the past.
In 1997 Mohammed Al-Fayed claimed that Queen Elizabeth had hired Henri Paul to take Princess Diana down with him in a murder/suicide mission. As could be expected, the royal family forced him to shut down his campaign for justice in 2007.
In 2005 some fans postulated that Al Kahn had hired someone to poison Deem Bristow in order to give 4Kids (undue) license to steal the jobs of all the voice actors for the Sonic franchise. Unlike the Diana case, there was no media inquiry and few details about Bristow's death were made public. Wikipedia claimed (the page has since been deleted) he died of a heart attack, but this claim has never been proven or disproven. All we know is he collapsed while partying at a club and died later at Sharp Hospital.

I would like to join this club

This is the kind of conspiracy I would expect in something like James Bond, not about some anime that happened to look similar to what Nolan and WB did before. It just doesn't sound believable to me.

I would be careful with this story, because of the generally unreliable sources of fans and Wikipedia. With that said however, this wouldn't surprise me if this was found true, considering Al Khan is a powerful egomanaic that is pretty ruthless when it comes to getting the rights to certain anime and the way the anime is edited and dubbed. Frankly, Khan is like a mix of a crook and Saddam Hussein in the anime world, what with their way that they distribute their shows and the way they dubbed anime in general.

You may have a point on some things, but the problem with some of your arguments is that it seems to be based off conspiracies with questiable sources that no one really knew about until just now. Though I suppose nowadays it wouldn't suprise me at all if it turns out to be true.

It happened with Disney.
They strategically waited until Osamu Tezuka was already dead to finish and release The Lion King so there would be no one to point out their obvious wholesale theft.

As I said, we have little to go on. There was likely a cover-up.

I'm sorry did I stumble into the paranoid club?
