Aladdin is next. Perfect for the upcoming Live Action Version.

Ugh, good god the English dubs in the few songs is just horrendous, and that's only a feeble word...

Wow! I am glad you loved Perfect Blue, but I didnt expect you giving it a 10/10! Thank you for reviewing this movie, and I hope you check out Kon's other movies.

Roomy is actually awkwardly designed on purpose I think (for spoiler reasons I won't go into). But think about it, what do the ugly characters have in common? I theorize it is such subtle foreshadowing that you won't notice it on the 1st viewing, but will notice it on the 2nd viewing (like me). You also didn't point out how some cells/characters are out of focus in certain scenes, that based on what was happening I'm pretty sure was intentional; but I'll let that slide because you probably didn't watch a theatrical print to review this, and that ultra-fine detail will be missed if it's not a theatrical print on a movie screen (and I'm not even 100% sure it isn't just "the trouble of animating on cells"). There's also the sound mixing for the Japanese surround sound audio track. The way certain sounds come out of specific speakers is amazing. Seriously dude, if you have the opportunity to watch a theatrical print with the Japanese audio, it is worth it (I know some colleges and film societies will screen it every now and then).

Wow! I honestly had no idea that this was coming from the same man who did Millennium Actress (which if I’m not mistaken, and you totally correct me if I am,was his final film). So now I understand why that film too was more of a psychological film than just simply telling a story. Yay! Aladdin is next!

Paprika was Kon's final movie. He made Perfect Blue first, then Millennium Actress, Tokyo Godfathers, and then finally Paprika.

Huh I didnt know what to expect from this film. It sounds quite great, I'm impressed. Though when you say it influenced Aronofsky I can see why. And Aladdin! Classic. Looking forward to that.

This film definately influenced thriller films, particularly the ones where the protagonist cant differentiate what is real and what is fantasy, and the film is made to the point that even the viewers feel like that they are becoming schizophrenic along with the main character.
