joytron Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 just watched this anime film last night, and it has got to be one of the best movies i have ever seen. The story is about when the dream world collides with life. Got me really wanting to watch some other anime. Rarely do films carry both the creativity of a child and also have the ability to execute with reason and substance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthPark already did this a while ago PS although I guess that if you really dig deeper, it all comes from The Neverending Story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malevol3nt Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 "Paprika" means pepper here. I wonder if that's what the title of the movie means? Cos it's kind of.. it just sounds stupid here lol. But I guess I should watch it first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ormion Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 BTW it has already been released on Blu-ray. I'd like to watch this animation in hi-def! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytron Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 paprika is a spice. and the movie is way different then that south park episode. Some of you guys might actually enjoy the soundtrack too. The cover of the movie says "This is your brain on anime" so that gives you an idea that its pretty much a mindphuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malevol3nt Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 The cover of the movie says "This is your brain on anime" so that gives you an idea that its pretty much a mindphuckOooo I love mindphucks! Speaking of anime.. I remember a long long time ago I watched this probably japanese anime movie, it was on VHS. It had a scene where a robot/godzilla was fighting another robot which was also a bird or something. They were fighting in a big town.. I'm not too sure if that's exactly right, I must of been like 7 when I watched it. All I know is that the movie left a huge impression on me. Does anyone have any clues of what I'm talking about? I'd sure want to watch it again, but who can pinpoint a single anime movie without a title when theres like a gazillion of them.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psytones Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I'm gonna watch it now Here some Paprika. Yum Yum mm nice slices of bread, butter, Norwegia Cheese and Paprika!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alleycat Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 That soundtrack gets into my soul... And animates the little toaster clown spider dog cats and envigorates the cheese danish eyes... Not a bad piece of anime, I like the visual style particularly (and can also be seen in other Mad House movies like Perfect Blue and Millenium Actress). To me, saying its a dream world interacting with reality story is kinda glossing over certain things. I invite any skeptic to take a couple hours out of their uber-busy life to enjoy some colorful and aurally-pleasing cinema. Its better than, say, Borat. And I bet more than a few of you skeptics saw that one. Don't lie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmiwinks Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 ah I finally saw it today... Indeed, the visual part is great, although I always have problems with all these "trademark" anime elements like tentacles, or japanese with caucasian traits and so on. The whole concept of waking up only to realize that you're still in a dream is pretty freaky, I remember that I've had that a few times and it can be very disturbing. However the ending was really stupid IMO, kindof like the anime crew was saying "ah well, this shit has been running for 1 hour and 30 minutes, now let's just end it here". Anyway, it was one of the better movies I've seen lately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess I should watch it first. ah yes Paprika has absolutely nothing to do with the pepper (or spice), it's simply the main carachter's name (or alias, depending on how you see it). And yes I agree that they could've chosen a more interesting title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkarbiter Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Gonna have to check out this movie, and hey, who doesn't love tenticles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drosophila Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I reall love this movie, and mostly because of it's contant visual surprises the story can be some what weird and tacky, but it still works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Matta Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 You all should check out Ponyo, the newest Miyazaki movie. And if anyone still hasn't seen Tekkon Kinkreet, then there's a hole in your life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
