Style over substance...or pure genius?
Satoshi Kon
Millennium Actress and Tokyo Godfathers were great. The rest are shit.
Probably his weakest works. Nice bait
>Le style over substance is a genuine complaint meme
Can we just admit for once, that in a visual medium, style IS substance?
Rather than need everything to be what teenagers think evangelion is, symbol laden bullshit(it's actually just nonsense)
Nope, the opposite of Kon is Oshii, He's all substance, but totally lacks in style
Visuals do not resonate with plotfags
>Oshii
The guy who made angel egg is all substance and lacks in style?
>Satoshi Kon
Yep, also Patlabor 2
Fuck off reddit
Honestly who fucking posts like that?
More like satoshi one hit wonder kon
you're being unfair
Fuck off pseud
anime for people who don't actually like anime
Pure genius
I watch all sorts of ecchi and moe shit, but you're not being fair to anyone with that statement.
Style over substance. Genius does not go in the same sentence with that man's name.
All of his works have one or two mind-provoking messages hidden in the subtext but nothing that is genius and certainly nothing he did justice to in his works.
Feel free to prove me wrong. Protip: you can't.
He's a pretentious faggot and his works are all style no substance.
This.
Paprika was overall good, but had a weaker second 1/2 compared to the first one
Pranoia aget was mediocre
Perfect blue was perfect. Haven´t watch the rest, but I´m planning to watch millenium actress. not sure about the godfathers.

Wut
Style over substance, but with still the good amount of substance to be enjoyable and good.
The first three movies are good, Paranoia Agent is meh and Paprika kinda shit.
Why is the new meme for brainlets to shout style over substance at things that clearly have substance?
it's a good thing, right? Like what Oshii does.
*was
He's dead
So...Ghibli?
prove it
Paprika as his last film is probably the strongest visually and thematically. Some of the themes were touched upon in his earlier films and some of the visuals will feel familiar, but it's probably his best work.
I personally perfer paranoia agent over all his other work anyway because of it was the first of his works that I saw and because the content resonates more with me. (I don't care about Idolshite)
Well ... I think his cremated corpse is pretentious anyway. All ash like. Who acts like that?
Aw fuck, i'm sorry. Perfect Blue was great especially in terms of art.
Last episodes of PA were pure chaos
Tokyo Godfathers > Millennium Actress > Perfect Blue > Paprika > Paranoia Agent
