Wow dude. Grave of the Fireflies totally made me cry too...
Was Dead Leaves the most insane anime you'd ever seen? I tend to think so. If you dug it, FLCL is its closet cousin.. as far as Paranoia Agent goes, get everything Satoshi Kon did.. Paprika and Perfect Blue are his masterpieces. Very
serious anime.
NEON GENESIS EVANGELION is my favorite anime of all time, by far. It is probably the most mindblowing piece of art ever.
Another two animes I highly reccomend and are easy to find...
MINDGAME
and..
CAT SOUP
yep..
two absolutely brilliant works of animation unlike anything you will ever see. Mindblowinggggggg.
Surreal as hell, bordering on genius, absurd hilarious with brilliant animation. Almost impossible NOT to like.
