Dude. This is soo cool. I'd watch it again in English just to see how well they did :3 Though I agree I do prefer the Japanese one. However I go on the basis of which one I see first. If I've seen it first in English then I'll prefer that and vice versa. :)
Americans and other english speaking countries are always lazy at reading subtitles, I think that is the reason they watch only american movies/series. I do always prefer the original, in special because there are cultures where voice inflections are part of their acting, that is not easy to spot in dubbed movies, specially japanese ones.
Alight. . . It's got the cute theme song, the cute heroine and everything. Maybe that's pleasant for a few minnutes. But why is the rest of this movie so scary? And why this cop stuff about surveillance, and the cop guy? Hmm? Can't they make an interesting, artistic movie without all this? Too many of these anime movies have misogynistic scenes, too. It all becomes a lil weird.
@aquietevening well it's based on a novel by the same name, you wouldn't really take away all of what the story is about? This is an interesting and artistic movie and story, dude. (since the dream, psychotherapy, crime stuff where all in the original novel)
The part where she hits the guy over the head with the guitar comes from Roman Holiday with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck. Audrey won the Oscar for her role.
I love this movie with fiery passion, also I prefer the original Japanese cast in this film... something magical when you watch a foreign film, even more so in it's native language.

While the sub gives you the meat of the true language of the original, Paprika just way too much eye candy to be looking at the subs. It distracts from the movie experience. Best to view the movie dubbed, then subbed to get the best of both worlds.
The Japanese version with the English subtitles is better than the English dubbed version because the voices and characters look and sound more authentic that way.
there is nothing wrong with english dubs, the only problem i have against it is when they are trying to translate verbs in a manor of speak that makes it sound retarded.
It's funny.... everyone says that they choose Japanese over English just because of the voices... but I like Eng better because in Jap you have to read the subs and I never really get to see what's going on in the animation..... just staring at subs.... the whole movie..... lol
But english dubs are always missing words or have them changed. Like in Macross Plus, Isamu's 'Terasaur Lift' is actually much longer and flaky sounding.
@Mikemc English dubbing tries to keep the script %90 accurate but things can get "lost in translation". It's either because the mouth flaps of the character don't match the translated dialouge or certain meanings can only be understood by Japanese viewers, so they have to tweak it a little so the English speakers can understand. But you should know, subbing is not very accurate either.

This is the only one of Kon's films in which I prefer the dub to the original, I just love Konikawa's dub voice, it's much warmer =)

Do you recognise the movies scenes ?... After Tarzan you have the scene in the Train, which is from From Russia with Love.
But the scene where Paprika hits a guy with a guitar, I don't know where it comes from...
