Why did Satoshi Kon peak with his first film?

He didn't. He kept improving.

This

Paprika was fine.

You really can't say the guy peaked, due to his premature death. I would have loved to see what else he could have made.

I saw Perfect Blue, Tokyo Godfathers and Paprika.

Perfect Blue is the worst off those 3.
Maybe you need to be a women to enjoy Perfect Blue.

I worried about dream machine

Paprika is easily his worst work and anyone who thinks it's good proves he knows nothing about movies.

Paprika's soundtrack hard-carried the film. The film had an poorly executed plot and narrative. The visuals were fantastic but it wasn't a music video - so yeah, about a 7/10 if I don't dock it for wasted potential.

I think Millennium Actress was his greatest work.

Paprika was just "Satoshi Kon presents: Serial Experiments Lain" except it wasn't as good.

That soundtrack was pretty damn good though.

really liked that one, but my soft spot is sci-fi so Memories is numbah one for me

>>157670946
Same here

>>157665277
Fpbp. Every work that Kon did was masterful in its own way. Also if you shittalk Paprika then you are a fucking hipster.

>>157665116
Because he's a pretentious hack like Yuasa.

>>157665116
But he didn't.
Milennium Actress was his best.
