Evidence that Japanese animators are reaching for the moon, while most of there American counterparts remain stuck in the kiddie sandbox.
A must watch. I haven't watched anything like it. you can watch it on youtube ( http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query=paprika+part+1&aq=1&oq=paprika ) but the quality is terrible.you can download it from rapidshare (http://anime-ez-warez.blogspot.com/2007/11/paprika-2006.html) which offers great quality. Just make sure you want to go through the whole ordeal of downloading the movie, so I strongly suggest you to purchase your own copy.
In the future I'll try to post on current research that is related to dream technology that is being developed by various scientific groups and government agencies.
Paprika is a Japanese animated science fiction film, based on Yasutaka Tsutsui's 1993 novel of the same name, about a research psychologist who uses a device that permits therapists to help patients by entering their dreams.
The film was directed by Satoshi Kon, animated by Madhouse Studios, and produced and distributed by Sony Pictures Entertainment. The film's music was composed by Susumu Hirasawa, who also composed the soundtrack for Kon's award-winning film, Millennium Actress, and equally lauded television series, Paranoia Agent.
MADHOUSE Ltd. is a Japanese animation studio, founded in the early 1970s by ex–Mushi Pro animators including Masao Maruyama, Osamu Dezaki, Rintaro, and Yoshiaki Kawajiri. It has created and helped to produce many well known shows, starting with TV anime series Ace o Nerae! in 1973, and including western favourites Ninja Scroll, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Trigun and Di Gi Charat. Madhouse produced animation in OVA format in the late 1980s and early 1990s, but unlike studios founded at this time such as AIC and J.C.Staff, their strength was in TV shows and theatrical features. They were also responsible for the first Beyblade anime series as well as the Dragon Drive anime.
Another close tie to the studio is mangaka Naoki Urasawa. Madhouse has made adaptations of three of his manga: Yawara!, Master Keaton and Monster. They have also animated some of CLAMP's catalogue: Tokyo Babylon, two versions of X, Cardcaptor Sakura and Chobits. Please visit the official web site..
