Toon Zone Talkback - "Paprika": One Spicy Anime

[Duke]

This is the talkback thread for "Paprika": One Spicy Anime (http://news.toonzone.net/article.php?ID=17246).

It's Satoshi Kon, so of course it'd be freaky.

Thank god I saw this when it was playing the Japanese Currents festival. It doesn't officially start in Portland until... gasp... June 25th! :eek:

If there was one flick that could get me to plant my behind in a theater seat for the first time in almost three years, this could very well be the one.

Now, there's only the little matter of actually finding a place that'll run it. I forsee going out of town for that one.

*Makes note to get around to Perfect Blue sometime this lifetime*

[Gokou Ruri]

I liked Tokyo Godfathers, but disliked Perfect Blue, Paranoia Agent, and Millennium Actress, but I try not to judge films based on director. From what I hear, though, it's similar to Perfect Blue, which doesn't inspire much confidence. However, it's based off a book, so who knows? I'll catch this when it hits DVD or whenever.

Is there any official timetable for when the movie is going into more widespread release? I can't seem to find any specific dates other than the NY/LA ones.

[Darking]

The best way to find a place that's showing Paprika is to check your local independent movie theater. They're the most likely to show this movie and some have date well into the future.

I enjoyed the movie, myself when I saw here in NYC over the weekend. I'd say if you didn't like Paranoia Agent, though, you may want to give the movie a pass. It's only slightly less weird than PA.

If you're in the Philly area, this will be showing at the Ritz theaters, at an undisclosed date. Most likely June 25.
