🚨 MOVIE ALERT: 🚨
Satoshi Kon's Paprika and Tokyo Godfathers are both free to watch legally on YouTube right now!
Paprika is a surrealist action film about dreams that inspired Inception. It is absolutely excellent (although I strongly recommend you check the content and rating to make sure it's something you're comfortable with; they rated this R for a reason).
Tokyo Godfathers i haven't seen yet, but it's about this group of homeless people who find an abandoned baby on Christmas Eve. It is apparently very sweet and I'm looking forward to watching it!
Kon's other films include Millennium Actress and Perfect Blue.
Millennium Actress is phenomenal as well (and is available to watch on Crunchyroll right now) - it's a very cool surreal retelling of a fictional famous actress' life, and a meditation on how love drives us. (A few more thoughts on it on a different alt here.)
Perfect Blue I haven't seen yet, but I've heard it's amazing and also horrifying; and I've heard that like with Paprika:Inception it directly inspired one or two popular live action Western movies. As far as I can see, right now you'd have to rent it to watch it.
Anyway, go forth and jump into some great anime!

A little more of my private eye AU but I used that at one shot from Millennium Actress as a reference to reference all my other AU's! Let me explain: Private investigator Abbacchio AU Bucciarati(crime boss) is a film buff and goes to the movies as a hobby, so I referenced some of my AUs as different movies he has seen. Though some of these outfits are just ones i thought were cute/ references to other things I like 😏
》Bucciarati loves gushing to him about his favorite, and Abbaccio thinks it cute~ (even of he's not ready to admit it yet)
His least favorite kinds of movies are mafia films and crime dramas (he goes to the movies to relax/escape, so he really doesn't like being reminded of work)
But his favorite types of movies are romcoms/romantic films (the sappier the better💖💖)
