Has everybody seen it now?

I thought it was good. The art was... well you know what to expect. It's a shame to ever take your eyes off the visuals in order to read the subtitles!

At first, the plot was a little too subtle for me. I think that's what the problem was. You know how in some anime, you're left wondering just what is going on? But a couple of twists in relationships and plot help compensate for that.

Overall, though, I rarely felt completely entranced, like I did after watching GitS: Innocence, for example. Maybe because most of the action takes place in dreams, and was often cutesy, it didn't strike me as "really there." Also, some of the characters are extreme caricatures.

I loved Paranoia Agent but I felt like this was just treading the same ground.

Kon's directorial work does seem to have some very similar themes, but they don't feel nearly as recycled as the latest film from Hayao Miyazaki.

Only watched Paprika once so far (with subs; doesn't it have an English dub?), but I did like it.

That's a good point.

Oddly enough... I think it doesn't.

No! Don't do that! Evil! I'm guilty of watching TV-anime on YouTube, but as for the movies that come out much less often, always rent! C'mon, considering you live in Cali, there've gotta be plenty of nearby video stores that stock Paprika.

Lame...

And really, Bllue. I don't see how you could enjoy such a beautifully animated film on YouTube. That's just... rude! Cheesy

You silly duck, it does! I've seen some of the dubbed clips on youtube but not a lot to really say anything about it.

I guess I should stop listening to you and just do my own research, Daniel. :|

People report so often about how they forgo English dubs, it skewed my memory.
