Yyyyup, that’s about right.

So I just finished Paranoia Agent today…

My GOSH, THIS ANIME. IT IS FANTASTIC.

This is my introduction to the works of Satoshi Kon, and may I say it is a GREAT start.

If you haven’t heard of Satoshi Kon, LOOK UP HIS WORK NOW. It is rather sad, because everyone goes on about Miyazaki, who is epic as well don’t get me wrong, but Satoshi Kon doesn’t seem to be talked about often. At least that’s what it seems like to me. Perhaps because Miyazaki’s work tends to be more family friendly, while Satoshi Kon’s is… well, not. XD But ain’t nothin’ wrong with that~

Anyway, Paranoia Agent is beautifully animated, has an addictive soundtrack, and it will give you chills. I cannot speak much of the plot, because sayin’ ANYTHIN’ is rather on the spoiler-ish side. XD I will say though that this anime is a mystery of sorts that is a great study into the human mind, especially studying how humans handle being pushed into a corner. Do we run away from the problem? Do we try to blame it on someone else? Do we try to find a happy place to escape to? Or do we just shut down?

You’ll just have to see this epic anime for yourself~

I will say this though: 

MAROMI JUDGES YOU FOR YOUR SINS.

My favorite song of the soundtrack: Jouken Douji

It seems I’ve been postin’ mini-reviews of sorts of anime recently! Huh, it might become a thing. I like writin’ reviews. Maybe I’ll so full-on reviews of animated stuffies later on. XD

We’ll see~ <3

And then -

(Only those who have seen the anime will get this. XD )

DUDE I KNEW KYUUBY WAS NO GOOD THE SECOND HE APPEARED. THAT LITTLE SHIT. and oh god I was a wreck at the end of the series.

RIGHT? JUST LOOK AT THE FLUFFBALL.

THOSE EYES…


And I had to take a looong moment in silence after watching the ending. I just…

I didn’t even know what to do with myself. ; __ ;

HORUMA, WHY DO YOU BREAK MAH HEART LIKE THIS?

My GOSH, you and your story stomp on my heart like it’s grape jelly. Her story, Kyoko’s, and Sayaka’s even. Heck, this whole show. ; _ ;

But in all seriousness, this is a pretty darn good anime! I love the artistic style that goes on when goin’ through the witch labyrinths. This is a tragic anime, but I definitely love how things don’t just go, “OMG, THE SADNESS. SADNESS EVERYWHERE. LET’S HAVE ALL THE SAD THINGS HAPPEN SO WE CAN MAKE PEOPLE CRY, LOL.”

Don’t let the moe chibi-chibi looks fool ya, guys. Seriously, this anime has a lot of good things goin’ for it. I say give this anime a shot. AT LEAST watch the first three episodes to see how you feel about it. It may seem just a tad slow in the first couple of episodes. At least to me. But it is VERY much worth it~

Also, DAMMIT KYUBEY. YOU FLUFFLY PIECE OF TURD.

IF YOU EVER SEE A KYUBEY, RUN. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. AND DON’T MAKE A DANG CONTRACT WITH IT.

KYUBEY WILL EAT YOUR SOUL.

So I was getting a great urge to draw, but then looked down at my hand and I just-

BUT!!!!!!


I then looked at my new box of glorious crayons (I’m not saying that with sarcasm; HAVE YOU GUYS TRIED CRAYONS FOR SERIOUS ART? IT’S AWESOME) and was like, “Maybe I could try….”

GUYS

I CAN STILL DRAW

EVEN WITH MY STITCHED UP HAND

TAKE THAT COCA-COLA BEAR. YOU AND YOUR FUZZY FRIENDS AIN’T TAKIN’ THIS TWITFACE DOWN.

suzzannnn replied to your post: suzzannnn replied to your post: So… being the…

just watch episode three and you’ll get the OH SHIT moment…then watch the rest of the series and you will cry

LET’S DO THIS THING. MY BODY CAN TAKE IT.

….

*cowers in fear for the next episodes*

THERE’S A FEATURE FOR THAT!!? Not… POSSIBLE… O_________O

VERY POSSIBLE, MAH LOVE.

Turns out the missing e is actually pretty useful with some stuff. XD

friska-freak replied to your post: So… being the majestical creature that I am, I…

:c Get well soon, Laura-waura, that looks really painful!

D’awww, thank you, kunafu! C’:

And it’s not… THAT painful. My pointer finger’s movement is just limited. I can’t make a fist with my right hand. And I’m paranoid with even doing ANYTHING else with my right hand. Meh, at least I’ve got my movies and stuffs. XD

suzzannnn replied to your post: So… being the majestical creature that I am, I…

oh geez, I hope it heals quickly! For anime I’d suggest Evangelion (lol) or Puella Magi Madoka Magica, if you don’t mind your heart getting ripped out :B I don’t have much to suggest in the tv department, so, uh, AFV I guess? XD

Thank you so much, Susan dear! ;w;

And it’s funny you suggest Madoka Magica, because I watched the first couple of episodes last night! XD I think the visuals are STUNNING~ <3 I’m waiting for the big “OH SH*T” moment though. <w< XDD
