Got some news on the Satoshi Kon series from AICN. It will be a 13 episode series (the norm) called PARANOIA AGENT. There’s already an official site up for the series, including a trailer (there will be 3 links in the middle of the screen, click on the one to the right). The trailer, although brief, definitely makes this look good.

Jean Snow lives and breathes design and pop culture in Tokyo -- sustained by an unhealthy addiction to magazines and frequent visits to his favorites cafes. He has reported on these obsessions for the following online/offline publications: Time, Inside (Australian Design Review), Gizmodo, Gridskipper, Kotaku, Tokyo Q, Superfuture, OK Fred, Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel, I.D. (International Design), Metropolis, Azure, MoCo Loco, Kateigaho International Edition, Game|Life, and The Japan Times. He also manages the gallery space at Cafe Pause.
The Superfuture Superguides are a series of PDF travel guides to some of your favorites cities, updated monthly, and obsessively compiling the best places to shop, eat, and drink. The Tokyo guide is edited by Jean Snow.
Jean Snow is the design/culture editor at Neojaponisme, a web journal covering social and cultural aspects of Japan. Read the manifesto, by founder and chief editor W. David Marx, here.
PauseTalk is a regular series of events that take place at Cafe Pause on the first Monday of every month, with a start time of 20:00. The idea is to create a forum where Tokyo-based creatives can get together and discuss their own projects, as well as cultural currents of the city. The next edition happens May 12.

wow this show is weird, i just saw the first episode and i really don’t think i’ll be able to sleep now… it’s intriguing, disturbing, and just plain weird O_o
Nice show.
Makes me want more of it.
I like the mystery.
Kon Satoshi is batting 100% in my book. He hasn’t yet done anything I’ve not enjoyed.
The show is good. Pretty much enjoyed all the three episodes up till now.
pretty darn weird,
pretty darn nice !
love the animation work
Well, considering that this is a series made by Satoshi Kon and that that the script is from the same man who did Boogiepop Phantom, I’m expecting something amazing. So far it’s living up to my expectations!
boogiepop == melodrama^2
totally cool.
I can’t wait.
