One of the best mind trips ever made. 98%

I first saw Paprika last summer when a good friend of mine strongly recommended the works of Satoshi Kon to me and after gazing at the anime titles he made, Paprika grabbed my eyes the quickest given its trippy imagery and description, so I bought it on Amazon and am extremely glad to have seen it because it's one of the most enriching and creative titles I've ever seen in the medium. STORY In the near future, a huge advance in psychotherapy … more

Gorgeous animation, mind-bending themes, and combination of suspense and whimsy: must-see for fans of serious animation

A group of scientists invent a device that allows a therapist to enter into her patients' dreams.

Very soon it becomes difficult to discern where dreams end and reality begins. This blending of dream and reality is the basis for some of the richest works in the history of … more
