Synopsis:
      In the near future, a revolutionary new psychotherapy treatment called PT has been invented. Through a device called the "DC Mini" it is able to act as a "dream detective" to enter into people's dreams and explore their unconscious thoughts. Before the government can pass a bill authorizing the use of such advanced psychiatric technology, one of the prototypes is stolen, sending the research facility into an uproar. In the wrong hands, the potential misuse of the device could be devastating, allowing the user to completely annihilate a dreamer's personality while they are asleep. Renowned scientist, Dr. Atsuko Chiba, enters the dream world under her exotic alter-ego, code name "PAPRIKA," in an attempt to discover who is behind the plot to undermine the new invention.

Sukaretto says:
     i watched this cox they were saying that Inception copied it's story from this movie. but now i know, cox the Director of Inception said himself, that this was the inspiration for his film. and yes, the story's much different. the only similarity were the invasion of other's dreams and how they thought they were already awake but really still dreaming. it's both good in their own ways. it's just that the movie Inception, being based loosely from this anime movie, was made better. or maybe because i was half-asleep while watching Paprika that i didn't appreciate it much? XD i will watch this again.

My Ratings: i'll give this 8/10 :)
