Paprika (2006 Film)

Because of the embed video, it took me some time to publish this post in the way that I wanted. This movie could only be caught at the Cathay cinema locally. For those people who have missed the movie, you probably have to wait till the DVD release. It is definitely worth all your time and effort to catch this show, especially for all anime lovers. In terms of the plot, it has a new and interesting concept, it felt like when I first caught the show "Ghost in the Shell" and all the series, but even better. It seems like in the world of animation, anything is possible.

Synopsis :
In the near future, a revolutionary new psychotherapy treatment called PT has been invented. Through a device called the "DC Mini" it is able to act as a "dream detective" to enter into people's dreams and explore their unconscious thoughts. Before the government can pass a bill authorizing the use of such advanced psychiatric technology, one of the prototypes is stolen, sending the research facility into an uproar. In the wrong hands, the potential misuse of the device could be devastating, allowing the user to completely annihilate a dreamer's personality while they are asleep. Renowned scientist, Dr. Atsuko Chiba, enters the dream world under her exotic alter-ego, code name "PAPRIKA," in an attempt to discover who is behind the plot to undermine the new invention.
