That too, but just the popular anime on Adult Swim and such

Like Blood+ and Inuyasha and such
Though Eureka Seven is absolutely gorgeous looking



Tokyo Godfathers is a really cute movie by Kon, but isn't as heavily metaphorical and symbolic as his other stuff.

Paprika is pretty much Paranoia Agent in a film:
Very abstract, ambiguous ending, offbeat artwork

Millenium Actress is as heartwarming as Tokyo Godfathers but with a lot more symbolism, and the animation is much more realistic.

Perfect Blue is just barely behind Millenium Actress as his best work.
It's a thriller/social commentary about the extremities people will go to when worshipping celebrities and how vanity can ruin you as a person.

Tokyo Godfathers and Millenium Actress are the first ones I want to watch. Thanks for telling me about them! :D

Actually, out of all of them, which is the best masterpiece? Wasn't Perfect Blue you said? Lol, I'm kinda excited to watch the ones you mentioned.

Honestly, Millenium Actress is the biggest masterpiece of his in my opinion, and many will agree with me

but Perfect Blue was his first film and some say it was his best
But it just doesnt stay with you like Millenium Actress does.


But yeah, Tokyo Godfathers is so great to watch. By the end of the movie you just feel plain good, despite the fact that the film throughout is pretty sad.

SWEET!

I know that they have Perfect Blue and Paprika almost always at Borders and Best Buy as well.

They pretty much have all of Kon's stuff there.

I need to rewatch PA episode 8. It confused the shit out of me in the end. Like Demmers said, there was something missing.
