Ecology, Human VS Nature, human nature, self destruction, humans ignorance and arrogance, all these themes are raised there. "Earth Girl Arjuna" - "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind" - "Princess Mononoke" - "Mushishi" - ...

If you liked Perfect Blue add

Both "Paprika" and "Perfect Blue" have quite deep symbolism and surrealism. However "Paprika" is much more higher all the way and in any aspect, in my opinion. I like how "Paprika" concentrates in itself all of Satoshi Kon favorite images and themes: 1) Like an escape from reality into a world of illusion 2) The devastating consequences of the invasion of illusion into reality and getting rid of these illusions 3) The sudden realization that the difficulties can be overcome, but turned to face them 4) Detective story filled with riddles and symbols 5) Surrealist paintings of collective and individual insanity 6) Adult man tired and lost in his past 7) Young woman who live a double life and hiding from all its second, the internal and true "I". But I think Satoshi Kon described these all themes best right here in "Paprika" (that's his last finished work, by the way, before he is gone). In my opinion this is his best work after all. Frankly saying, I don't like "Perfect Blue". I really liked "Paprika" much more. So, maybe if you don't like "Perfect Blue" too, try this one, I think you will not be disappointed. That's quite for sure. Moreover there are great qualitative soundtrack, beautiful and detailed, outstanding animation. P.S. Sorry for not very good english, it's my third learned. But I hope my recommendation will help somebody.
