One of the items I missed is Anime News Network reviewing the late Satoshi Kon's work. They're reviewing most all his works which is something I wanted to do. After he passed away last month, I wanted to revisit his works. I came to watch his movies too early in my anime binge. When I was enthused about ecchi school comedies, I watched Paprika. This one flew over my head somewhat. I liked what I saw (it was anime), but couldn't really get into it. Even with the esteem I hold the medium of animation to, I was late to realize that Kon really did animation to tell his stories. They are films that so happen to be animated.
I'll revisit his movies, because all the retrospectives on his career have saddened me that we have lost truly genius of a film director.
