Paprika

Colourful and vivid - a 'what if' type anime in which dreams begin to bleed into reality and the expected mayhem ensues. I was kind of distracted while watching this, and it's certainly not as intense as Perfect Blue (by the same director), but I still liked it a lot. It has a light touch and an energy which neatly offsets its heavier impulses, and the spurts of imagination which characterise it are delightful.
