We’re finally diving down the rabbit hole to talk about Paprika to celebrate its 20th anniversary!
If you’ve not seen this masterpiece of anime cinema, you’re in for a treat! Paprika might not seem like your typical anime film, with its psychedelic use of colours and what appears to be a somewhat avant-garde approach to storytelling at first glance.
However, this film is built around a very simple premise – what if there was a device you could use to enter someone’s dreams, and what dangers could arise if this device fell into the wrong hands?
So strap in, check your spice cabinet, and join us as we dive into visionary director Satoshi Kon’s final film before his passing.
Plus all the latest anime news and a few other fun recommendations!
