Paprika is one of my top favorite animes of all time. It has everything I could ever want in an anime: great voice acting, wonderful imagery, dreamscape animation, visceral storytelling, psychological speculations and weird scifi philosophy. The end result is a wholly entertaining anime that offers you a ride right inside your own brain.

Part of the lure of Paprika is the wonderful soundtrack by the electronica genius, Susumu Hirasawa. The track The Girl in Byakkoya is used as the ending theme for the movie. However, the most remarkable perhaps is Parade, which calls to mind the childlike exuberance of the movie's parade scenes.
