  • this looks like the biggest mind fuck

  • mon film préféré!!un pure chef-d'oeuvre!!

  • Is the movie only warning us that toying with the brain might be dangerous?

  • Oh man. Another movie I don't understand. Does this one have a meaning? It's so confusing.

  • 00:55 Right Back at yeah James Jameson!

  • inception, Paprika copy-paste

    black swan, Perfect Blue copy-paste!

  • @2Dspectre

    2Dspectre, faggot copy-paste!

  • @2Dspectre you are correcto mundo my man....

  • Sorry but I don't think this movie is mediocre at all =/ (description) sure it's not my fav, but it sure left and impression.

  • Only because it has good graphics doesn´t make it the best movies of all times

  • Sometime last summer after Inception came out, I was having a conversation with a guy at work about it and recommended to him that he check out Paprika. Less than a week later, Satoshi Kon passed away...Since he was a very meaningful director to me, I was noticeably upset for some time. A few days after hearing the news though, that same guy came up to me at work all excited about how much he'd LOVED Paprika, even though he'd never seen an anime before. That seriously made me smile. :)

  • I love the theme song to this movie =)

  • paprika makes inception like amateur

  • 0:45 For people who won't see it... wake up!

  • @vargasenator Nice spot!

  • Pretty much 1:1 the story of Inception is the same as a Ducktales comic where bandits try to implant an idea in scrooges head by going through different levels in his dream.

    It's not even the "story" that is similar, but huge details in the ducktales comic are recreated in the movie, like the whole awakening method and stuff like that.

    Paprika while has similar ideas, is closer to a Ghibli movie like Spirited Away or Pom Poko than anything.

  • Shouldn't we celebrate why we love Paprika, not why Inception is better or worse? I'm pretty sure this is just the trailer for Paprika.

  • Can't wait for his new anime "The dream machine".

  • @YRUIM its a good movie though. it makes sense once you seen the movie. if not, go to the wikipedia page and read the plot too. Plus the animation is incredible.

  • the bad thing is that mr.Satoshi Kon died

  • watching this trailer gives me chills. (in a good way.)

  • I really hate the Americans that steal this idea to make Inception!

  • @lyue1996 Boy, Christopher Nolan said he based Inception on Paprika. He didn't steal anything. He just used the anime as inspiration.

  • @Trickster242 Christopher Nolan stole the idea from ducktales comic.... 

  • @ogsound2 Ducktales comic? Really?

  • We miss you all ready, Kon-san

  • Inception is just a kids game

  • Comment removed

  • @YomaruSan2 fortunately this is only your opinion. Nolan actually considered as an influence paprika

  • Comment removed

  • @YomaruSan2 Whoa, whoa I disagree with BOTH of these comments.

    This pains my soul.

    Inception was great for a Hollywood movie. I was pleasantly surprised.

    I had watched Paprika first, and thought of Paprika while watching Inception, however I wouldn't compare the two.

    Paprika is someone using dream sharing to take over the world.

    Inception is a heist film that happens to use a similar concept of dream sharing.

    Both have completely different feels and plots, and characters...

  • @tripthelightfilm You, my dear sir, have formed my thoughts in a logical manner.

  • @YomaruSan2 I sort of agree with you. "Inception" is one of my favorites MOVIES of all time, but "Paprika" is only one of my favorite ANIME movies of all time. While I like both films, I liked "Inception" more.

  • @YomaruSan2 SOOO TRUE. SOOOOO TRUEEEE. =_____=;

  • @YomaruSan2 Too bad Inception had to rip off this amazing movie. I agree with the guy above me.

  • @Charliem1994

    dude...Satoshi Kon was RIPPED OFF 2X this whole freaking year by Hollywood. I mean the year he passed away too.

    INCEPTION wasn't so much of a rip off, but the idea and concept was pretty much copied yes.

    Black Swan on the other hand is a NEAR COMPLETE RIP OFF of Perfect Blue.

  • @shadowpal2 Yes i agree.

  • @shadowpal2 Seems true. However iirc Aronofsky bought the rights of Perfect Blue probably so as to make a film of it. Instead he chose to make his own "version" :)

  • @YomaruSan2 I agree that Inception is the better film. I think people fall in love with the cosmopolitan glamor of anime and see Western fiction as drab in comparison. But that's not really fair. I love Paprika. But it doesn't make Inception look like child's play, and Inception isn't a cheap knock off. They're totally different films.

  • @YomaruSan2 umm no. inception should be renamed an idiots guide to inception.

  • @stalashnikov i think "Paprika for dummies" it's a better title XD

  • @YomaruSan2 While Inception were partially inspired by Paprika, Nolans own dream movie were worked on for many years. Both Paprika and Inception are excellent, but comparing the both of them is kinda futile. They deal with dreams by completely different aspects.

  • @YomaruSan2 Inception was based off of Paprika. That movie wold have never came to be without Paprika

  • @evilmonkeyactress As great as Paprika is, it was also inspired by a novel. And Inception was written in 2001, 5 years earlier than this anime.

  • @EvilLuisito Yeah, and the Paprika novel came out in the 90s. Your point is moot.

  • @NlGHTMAREPRODUCTIONS No. The fact that Paprika itself is based on a novel of the same name renders all those Inception criticism useless. This anime isn't more original than Inception. They're both inspired by something. And even the 90's novel was probably inspired by an even older movie or book. That was my point.

  • @YomaruSan2 Inception was just a Donald Duck ripoff, and while it was a pretty decent movie, it lacks the charm that Paprika has by not capturing that really bizarro-world feeling we get from dreams, which are pure, uninhibited imagination. Inception is hardly the earth-shattering movie everybody builds it up to be, and Paprika certainly isn't earth-shattering, either, it simply has a more accurate depiction of working with dreams.

  • @Graghhh you just couldnt have said it better

    the debate is OVER

  • @foufillle The debate is over? Aww shucks! @Graghhh While I agree that Inception probably barrowed heavily from that Duck Tales comic, I disagree on Inception not capturing the nature of dreams. I feel that Inception nailed the whole feel of them just as much as Paprika did. They each just capture different kinds of dreams. Not every dream is a huge colorful explosion like in Paprika just like not every dream is as realistic as portrayed in Inception. Both do a great job in that respect.

  • @soyjuanfernandez Agree!

  • Comment removed

  • satoshi kon died, and then inception came... there is something with this...

  • If anyone wants to see a transcript of the man's "ridiculously" SAD TO THE POINT OF PUTTING YOU TO TEARS, then give me a pm at this account, i have the translated transcript

  • RIP

  • R.I.P NOS DEJASTE TUS SUEÑOS ...LOS GUARDAREMOS BIEN POR LA ETERNIDAD!

  • RIP

  • Rest in peace, sensei.

    You're one of the greatest! You're now in the World of Paprika.

  • The news of his death has confirmed my lack of belief in any kind of benevolent god; if one did exist, Satoshi Kon would not have died at such a tragically young age...

  • This is the worst news I've heard in a long time. Such a brilliant, brilliant man. He'd only just scratched the surface of his capacity. He had so much more to give us. He inspired imagination and heart. RIP.

  • RIP Satoshi Kon, you will be sorely missed.

    Anime won't be the same without you.

  • @rusticyuppie Yes, such a sad thing that he isn't around anymore to continue making great original works.

  • This and Tokyo Godfathers made me adore Satoshi Kon. I wish I could buy his movies somewhere!

  • I like how Inception ripped this off.

  • @TetraVaalBioSecurity I like how people make ignorant statements. I mean seriously, have you even SEEN both films? The ONLY thing both films have in common are dreams. That's IT. And besides, Christopher Nolan, the director of Inception, had his idea of the movie for 10 years! Do you wanna know how much time the director had his/her idea for this movie? I'd say 2 or 3 years. And if you've even seen Inception, it is not even in the same ballpark of Paprika. Do your homework buddy.

  • @face2faceish1 I like how you're going to question whether or not I've seen both films, when you yourself haven't done any research here. Paprika was a novel that came out in 1993 and with Nolan's background in foreign culture, especially Japan, I would safely guess he's read it. Paprika (the film) came out in 2005, Nolan had plenty of time to refine his script for Inception and borrow strong thematics from this film, as prevalent with the corridor and glass breaking scenes. Do YOUR homework.

  • @TetraVaalBioSecurity How do you know that Paprika the film, was BASED on the 1993 novel? The film "I know what you did last summer" had a book of the same name, and the only thing in common with the film and book was the title. And even if the idea of Paprika came BEFORE Inception, again, two COMPLETELY different movies. I've seen both and both are nowhere near the same league. That's like saying "Avatar" and "Alien" are the same movies because the creatures look like aliens.

  • @face2faceish1 if you've seen both films, you'd know that this film is based entirely off of Yasutaka Tsutsui's novel. And to say that both films are entirely different is a lie, the films are even shot for shot the same at critical moments (I.E. reality cracks like broken glass, floating corridor, Levitt wears the same bar-keep outfit, etc.) These elements are in direct correlation with Paprika. I am willing to bet you've never seen Paprika.

  • @TetraVaalBioSecurity I HAVE seen Paprika. And the situations you mentioned are COINCIDENCES. Coincidences happen in almost ANY movie. I'm pretty sure Nolan knew what he was doing. Let me tell you something, in Inception people undergo "limbo" which they are strapped together in a group. Does that happen in Paprika? Paprika has an alter-ego, Cobb doesn't. In Inception, several members are involved in a game, in Paprika, it doesn't deal with members in a game.

  • Comment removed

  • @face2faceish1 you might quite possibly be the biggest moron I've ever encountered on Youtube. The fact that there are three specific scenes that are shot-for-shot the same is far from a coincidence, it's a glaring rip-off. Paprika also deals with subconscious dreaming that allows for their avatars to go through several layers, much like Nolan touches on in Inception. I think it's funny how a few minor script differences completely separates each film, yeah fucking right. You suck at this.

  • @TetraVaalBioSecurity You do release that just because THREE scenes are alike in a film that's 2 HOURS AND 20 MINUTES, doesn't mean it's a rip-off. And yeah it deals with subconscious dreaming that allows for their avatars to go several layers. Um... guess who did that? THE MATRIX. And besides, the way it's done in Paprika and Inception is COMPLETELY different and so different, it can't even be considered similar.

  • @face2faceish1 just when you couldn't possibly sound any more misinformed you try to compare Paprika to The Matrix, when Paprika's original source material dates back to 1993. Also, The Matrix borrows a significant portion of its ideas from another anime film, Ghost in the Shell, but I digress. Anyway, I don't care what the runtime of Inception is, the fact remains, three of its intricate scenes are shot for shot the same as Paprika, it's not original. Remove Nolan's balls from your mouth.

  • @TetraVaalBioSecurity When all else fails, let's just resort to name-calling! I may be so-called "misinformed" but at least I still have my maturity. Notice how I want to make a reasonable debate with you. And I apologize for being rude when you said "I like how Inception copied Paprika" (or something like that), but I just thought you were a troll and it turns out you aren't. And no, I'm not trying to defend Nolan (even though I'm a big fan of his work). I LOVED Paprika but I mean seriously.

  • @TetraVaalBioSecurity I dont know and really dont care what this discussion is about, apparently there's an idiot who thinks Paprika is stealing from The Matrix, which is bs. However saying that Inception is stealing from Paprika is also complete BS - not only is the whole idea about dreams realized in a VERY different way in Inception, but the script was actually finished back in 2002, 4 years before Paprika came out. It's just a coincidence.

  • @HalfLifeHalfDead if you don't care about the discussion, then don't comment. Otherwise, read up and educate yourself on the fact that Paprika is a Japanese novel originally conceived in 1993 and considering Nolan's interest in foreign culture, I'd bet the house he's not only read the novel, but refined the script of Inception around Paprika once the film adaption was released. I'm sure it's only a coincidence that three intricate scenes are exactly identical, right...

  • @TetraVaalBioSecurity Does it say anywhere in the book how to shoot those scenes (which scenes anyway)? That's first, second, Nolan hasn't read the book, even more, he would have scraped the idea if he knew about Paprika, he's just like that. Third, it's really easy to find similarities between movies like that, you know, I could start babbling about how Paprika copies Luis Buñuel's movies, but that would just be rude now, won't it? Dreamworlds aren't new to cinema, get over it.

  • @HalfLifeHalfDead yes, in the novel, those scenes are thoroughly described. How are you going to say that Nolan hasn't read the book, I'm willing to bet he did given his inspiration from foreign cultures, but even if he didn't, Paprika was out years before he started filming Inception, so again, his script could have been refined around Paprika's key elements. Reality cracks like broken glass, floating corridor, Levitt wears the same bar-keep outfit, etc coincidences my ass.

  • @TetraVaalBioSecurity I can say that, cause I've met the guy years ago. Shattering glass, is that what you came up with? you want a list of movies with the exact same "scene"? When you are dealing with dreams it's not that hard to come close to paprika. I am saying it again, the movie was greenlit back in 2002, the exact same script, more or less. Shattering glass and someone wearing suit (because no one wears suits in other movies). Just get over it, I like Paprika a lo, but this is ridiculous.

  • @HalfLifeHalfDead good God, you're such a rabib fanboy that you're overlooking the fact that JGL is wearing the same exact barkeeper's outfit, the glass shattering is to crack reality in both films (as well as them both being shot for shot the same), and as I suspected, you leave out the corridor scene, which also looks like the same in design. I don't care if you've met Nolan, that bears no relevancy to this discussion, what is relevant, is the shot-for-shot resemblences.

  • @TetraVaalBioSecurity I left out the corridor scene, because I dodn't have space to comment on it. He has never seen Paprika or read the book. What's more, he admits which movies influenced him - those sci fi thrillers of the 90s like The Matrix, Dark City, 13th Floor and Existenz. it looks like them, it feels like them, it sounds like them.

  • @TetraVaalBioSecurity I don't see any reason to continue this conversation since you don't listen to reason and are obviously biased. I can say that Paprika copied the dream stuff from Bunuel or The CEll, the mirror thing from Kane and I would be just as right to say it as you are. It's funny how fast you labeled me a fanboy, (I didn't like inception that much), but it just goes to show you how easily you jump to conclusions no matter how juvenile they are. This is just ridiculous .

  • @HalfLifeHalfDead due to your inane ability to understand simple and straightforward points, I guess I have to break it down for your nimble brain: The comparison of the dream elements isn't strictly because they feature the same elements, but rather, they are shot for shot the same. Paprika isn't shot-for-shot with Bunuel or The Cell, especially the latter. You're completely oblivious to your own stupidity, there is no bias here, it's truth. You're just too fucking stupid.

  • @TetraVaalBioSecurity Yes, you are right. Inception is just as colourful and surrealistic as Paprika (the first movie ever about dreams) these are the only two movies with two mirrors against each other being shattered and where someone is wearing a bar-keep suit and gravity is being neglected, You are absolutely right about everything and I am "fucking stupid". The world is in your feet, you know, everything about everything, who am I to question your greatness. Have a nice day.

  • @HalfLifeHalfDead personally i like the way you argue more than him therefore you win. He/she sounds like a whiny kid.

  • i remember this movie! it is amazing!

  • a friend of mine fan dubbed the movie for a senior project :3 i played Paprika and that weird clown thing that talks to the detective while he's in dream therapy.

  • This movie kicks ass!

  • @Snehvitpiken better than the badly horror movies, legion and spliced

  • Really good movie.

    Watch Tokyo Godfathers.

    Good movie too.

  • @thecoolcarrie satoshi kon rocks 5/5

  • hey, do you know whats the name of the song in the trailer?

  • It's a mix of two tracks: Lounge and Nigeru Mono. Both are on Paprika OST. Hirasawa Susumu is the author.
