All the babes in this anime already have boyfriends!
I can see how some people might be into Yase, but she has mommy issues, and is part demon so I would advise against asking her out if you value your life.
That pretty much leaves Shouko as most eligible bachelorette. Shouko’s dedication to her work may make her seem unapproachable, but I’d be willing to bet she’d be willing to go out with just about anyone if they could keep those kids out of her hair for a day. So there’s your in.
Kyousou Giga feels like a lot of care was put into making every aspect of ... it. I wanted to like it more than I did, but had a hard time motivating myself to watch it.
Found myself struggling to understand what I would later come to realize was a thin, relatively easy to understand plot that only seemed complicated because of the storytelling style

I normally wouldn’t write anything so negative about any anime because there is so much hard work that goes into it, but I picked Paprika to watch with my girlfriend (who is already lukewarm towards anime) in an attempt to show her a more mature side to the medium. I was expecting something Bladerunner-esque, and while what we got was quite unique, large portions of Paprika were kind of like watching Looney Tunes if it didn’t have any comedy.
The script content, and dreamworld happenings quickly became so nonsensical that I was embarrassed to show it to her, she fell asleep about halfway through, and I ... only actually watched 2/3 of it before stopping.
I can see how this movie could be an absolutely wild ride for a certain audience, but my last straw was a point in which Paprika saw a man with some roots, or tentacles and didn’t immediately realize she was in a dream. Maybe there was a reason why he could have possibly existed in the real world, but I honestly don’t care.
Since I’ve already gotten my hands dirty I may as well point out that the quality of the artwork and animation seemed to dip in less important scenes. To be fair the shortcuts they used were only so glaring because the animation and artwork quality was otherwise impressive
