If Paprika hit the spot, these will too

Cerebral where it counts, tense underneath

Both are built on the same subject: anime
The difference: Easier on the tension than Paprika

Science fiction built on dream logic, twice over
The difference: Sits closer to mystery than Paprika does

Cerebral thriller in both cases
The difference: Takes it somewhere less dreamlike than Paprika does

Tense animation, and it commits to that

Both keep coming back to the same thing: adult animation

Both lean on dream logic more than on science fiction
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Common ground: dreams
The difference: Leans harder into adventure than Paprika does

Thriller with a pulse of ideas, in both cases

Both lean on tension more than on animation

Science fiction in the same key
The difference: Made in the 1980s, in a different era of the craft

Thriller of the same temperament
