| Has anyone seen this yet? I'm watching it right now - I happened to find a torrent floating around. Anyway, I'm thoroughly impressed - it's awesome how the dreams blend into reality and each other, and the presentation is amazing. I'm really fond of the music too. Also, I found the bit where Paprika compares the internet to dreams interesting. "The Internet and dreams are the means of expressing the inhibitions of mankind." I've always been curious about how the internet affects people, or rather how people respond when given the ability to freely reinvent themselves and to interact with others with little or no tangible repercussions. Anyway, I'll cut the rambling short for now, so let's discuss the film =P |

Too bad I won't be able to download it since my traffic limitations are on the yellow zone. gotta wait for next month T_T. Anyway a friend of mine went to see it in a cinema festival and said it was awesome . so I've been wanting to see it. I'll be sure to come here next month to comment on the movie ^.^ |

| Heh, same here. A friend of mine did the same and I've been looking for it ever since. The torrent I found has a blurry line at the top of the picture, but the quality is good otherwise. It's a shame you have to wait, but it's worth it. |

| why does this say episode 1? o_0 |
| Because it's the first of a 1 episode movie? =P I suppose that could be fixed so it doesn't add the episode number if there's only one, but I don't think it's too big a deal. lol, no. should he be? =P I suppose not... just curious as to whether we had the same friend =P |
|
| heh, changed it accordingly :) |
| I so love these mindgames. I just watched it after grabbing a new (?) torrent from Tokyo Toshokan. The art was simply amazing and the characters were very good as well. You'll surely enjoy it if you're into this 'weird' stuff. 10/10 [edit]: Music was awesome as well. |

| Just finished it, a very fun movie. While the first half was ok, the 2nd half was spectacular. And like Cyruz said, the art was simply amazing. |
 |
| By the way, I got my file from 'goat', and a few days ago they released an HD version. |

| Yes, also seen the one made from fansub group GOAT. I think the movie is quite the thing! But from what I have heard it is part of three other movies made from the same director, where the others are Perfect Blue and Millenium Actress , so now I have those as well. Gonna take an evening with a friend and watch them all =). The HD version that you mention cyruz is really awsome, though it takes a good amount of space int the harddrive =P   |
      |
| I wasn't expecting much, but it was actually pretty good. Some of the dreams kind of freaked me out. |
| A smashing movie indeed. The OST was quite interesting as well. |
| Finally watched it after the first blue-ray rip came out. Great movie! my favourite from all Satoshi Kon's work. Faust721 said: qft~And like Cyruz said, the art was simply amazing. 9/10 |

| perfect. 10/10. satoshi kon > all. |
逃げちゃ駄目だ。 |
| I really enjoyed this movie. It was in theatres for about a week here in Toronto and I was excited to actually see an anime on the big screen. It was visually gorgeous and I really liked the characters. The soundtrack was a lot of fun as well. |
| Shame on me i just watched it now. Amazing nmovie 9/10 |
| Love this film. Bought and happily paid for now (UK release). Most of the pseudoscience was credible, but did anyone get the bit about Anaphylaxis? Quite apart from not having a clue how a severe allergic reaction relates to sharing dreams, it seemed completely inaccurate to me to compare the DC mini's effects with anaphylaxis; IIRC anaphylactic shock is very severe and almost completely fatal (so to speak) unless treated within minutes. |
| I just recently had a chance to watch Paprika, and was bowled over by the amazing creativity. I'm definetly going to pick up the DVD for this one to add to my collection. |
 |
| Really loved it. Also, the soundtrack was amazing. |
     |
| Just watched this, and it's inspired me to search out Tokyo Godfathers and Perfect Blue. The soundtrack was the best I've heard in a long, long time. |
 I don't have a good one because I don't photoshop :( |
| Simply amazing. the animation, the soundtracks, the characters, the story! It's definitely one of Satoshi Kon's best animation. Ive seen his other ones (Perfect Blue, Tokyo Godfathers, Millennium Actress) and Paprika's my favourite. Still to watch Paranoia Agent though >_<. I definitely recommend it in blue-ray, it's worth it ;)  |
| |
| Been a while since I've seen the movie, but I absolutely loved it. While I would probably rate Millennium Actress higher, it's still damn near perfect - proving, once again, that Satoshi Kon is no run of the mill director. And again, Susumu Hirasawa's work compliments the movie amazingly. |
     |
| I must say I got a pang of jealousy at the end when Paprika said Atsuko was going to marry Tokita... I got to say that was one of my finer "WTF" moments. Hell! Just thinking about it pisses me off. |
| True love knows no bounds, or any size. Then again, she may have just thought he was a sexy robot :P |
I don't have a good one because I don't photoshop :( |
| I just finished watching the movie; it was a lot longer than I thought it would be. I haven't seen a good movie in a while so this was nothing short of amaziinng. Loved the storyline, the elements and ideas expressed in the movie were interesting. The music in the movie is very hard to get out of my head; I might have to get the soundtrack/dvd. |

| I loved this movie. Although a bit odd, eccentric, and I will admit lacking in the clarity of the plot or its' resolution, none-the-less the beautiful art, music, and style more than make up for it. This movie was fantastically designed and delivered to keep the viewer interested. I thouroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend this movie to any of my friends wanting a unigue and wrtistic yet refreshing movie to enjoy. (^^) |
 |
| this was SUCH a satoshi ken movie. and that is pretty much why i LOVED it. Its got the same psycoholigal aspect i loved paprika. i also loved how they kept going back to that one dream. it tied the whole "dream" stuff together quite nicely. ugh. such a good movie =) <3 <3 |
| Once again Satoshi Kon delivers another slice of surreal anime that gets one thinking. While not as amazing as some of his other efforts (I do not think it surpasses the wonder that is Paranoia Agent or Millenium Actress) Paprika sure is gripping and confusing in that way that is so typical of Satoshi Kon. The visuals were mind blowing and that parade was one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen. |
 |
| This movie opened me up to Satoshi a lot more. I was a total anime n00b when I watched Millenium Actress (I cried like a baby). I was confused when I watched Millenium Actress but it was great. This movie was spectacular! I loved almost everything about it. I think I might watch the rest of his movies, I am not so sure about Perfect Blue though...-.-' I think I will go buy this now :3 |
| ---- My signature sucks right now :C |
| i must say that i just loved how that at some parts of this movie i was just straight up oblivious to some of the things that were going on. it was great. and the music for when the parade was marching went perfect with everything. i LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! |
| Man, what an awesome movie. Although I believe that Millenium Actress is his best film, Paprika is certainly Satoshi Kon's most creative. The film deals with a deep subject but manages to be easily accessible. The animation is in top form here as is the music which I know will stick in my mind for weeks. Many of the characters are all instantly likeable, especially Captain Konukawa and Paprika (who is set up brilliantly in one of the best opening credit sequences I've ever seen). It may not be as beautiful or enthralling as Millenium Actress, but it is without a doubt a must-see. This movie made my day. 10/10 |

| It was a fantastic movie but the nudity ruined it for me |
   |
| I wish real parades were like the one in this movie. Good movie but the ending was meh. I thought the point of stating "light/dark, man/woman, etc" was so that the light woman would co-exist with the dark man somehow. Not devour it. I thought there would be balance. /shrug |
| Outstanding. |

rakil said: I was expecting a lot out of Paprika. The animation and soundtrack were excellent, but I feel that the plot faltered. What was the point of this movie? What was resolved about dreams? What will happen with the DC mini? While the plot of the movie can easily be laid out, the actions behind them don't align logically. All the ratings I have read have been extremely positive. The previous posters are in love with the movie too. So what makes this movie a masterpiece? It seems the beautiful art style, music, and reputation of the director have people duped. I don't see how else a movie could get away with "love solves all" as an ending when the love is unfounded. How deep, a pretty girl loving a big fat ass. Really though, can anyone tell me why this story is so amazing? Maybe the dubbed version is just awful or I am an idiot for missing some major plot piece. This. Eye candy does not a movie make. |
| Peace through Superior Firepower! formosan said: Are you using some kind of advanced logic I don't know about? Have you decided to assign new meanings to English words? Are you just intentionally burning a straw man and knowing full well that you're changing the subject and misrepresenting a claim? |
| fricken amazing movie! Art work is brilliant rivaling to Princess mononoke^_^ 10/10 although the ending ruined it a fair bit, I don't think that should fault it. The soundtrack makes up for it. x |
| That was a cool film ^-^ I thought this film was very thought-provoking, and the ideas were communicated and expressed really well, but I was left hanging a bit at the end... I don't feel they bothered to tie it up entirely there. The OST kicks ass too. :p |
| Wonderful movie. Story was well thought out, and its take on dreams was one I'd never thought of before. Excellent visuals complete this well rounded movie. On a side-note: The current rating is slightly off. There is mild nudity towards the late-middle / end of the movie (is currently 17+ for violence and profanity only). |
| 10/10 wonderful animation and i loved the music!! :) |
