Hey, this is my first time starting a thread, but I though it was warranted.
Has anyone seen this trailer yet? I mean....wow.

I am a major Satoshi Kon fan. I've seen all of Paranoia Agent (And I loved it) as well as Perfect Blue.
I am definitely looking forward Paprika.

The trailer looks incredibly stunning. . . completely nonsensical, but stunning. I'm really interested to see it, but I'll first have to find out why it's rated "R."
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

I know why it got the R rating. The MPAA said "For violent and sexual images".

This looks amazing.... o_o
I've only seen two of Kon's works (Millennium Actress and Paranoia Agent), but I'd really like to see this. Mr. Kon occasionally gets too risque for my tastes (as in certain episodes of PA...but, other PA episodes I absolutely loved. Mixed bag. ^ ^;; ), but this movie just looks so.....wow. So ridiculously imaginative. o_o

Knowing Kon's style. It's not for flashy or pointless reasons. Kon tends to do things for a reason other than fanservice. So essentially, his stuff really is for mature audiences.
Look at Perfect Blue for example... It's pretty much his most explicit work ever. I'd consider it the A Clockwork Orange of anime.

That animation is stunning. Absolutely stunning.
However, I'm not going to see it. I've seen PG-13 Anime films which have given me nightmares from some scenes, so I'm going to stay far away from this.
And because, even though his animation is truly breath taking, I don't yet like any of Kon-san's work. Although I've only seen Millennium Actress so far.

I thought it looks amazing, and I'd like to see it... but will probably never get around to it. XD;; I'll probably get it from netflix after it comes out on DVD.

Some of Kon's work tend to be psychological thrillers, mainly Paranoia Agent, Perfect Blue, and now Paprika. So if you didn't like Millennium Actress, you may like his psychological thrillers; unless you get frightened by them.
There's also Tokyo Godfathers, which I hear is pretty good.

This movie looks GREAT! I really want to see it despite the R rating. It looks better than Paranoia Agent and that's sayin' something.
