On second watching, Paprika remains an awesome anime. Still, it failed (again!) to keep me fully awake. I am pretty sure something is lost in translation here. (In English-dubbed version, the subtitles and spoken English do not match at all.) All the visual pyrotechnics notwithstanding, the best scenes in this film are the most restrained ones, taking place in a fictitious Radio Club (www.radioclub.jp — alas, this website does not exist).
“Don’t you think dreams and the internet are similar? They are both areas where the repressed conscious mind vents.”Shall I give it another go in a year’s time?
