I’ve been a fan of comics, specifically Japanese comics. But over the years, I’ve had to abandon them because, like games, they just took up so much more time than I’d budgeted for them. Maybe it’s a reflection of problems with my time management.
Anyway, I rediscovered one of the bookmarks, Drawn!, that someone gave me a while ago. And the entry a couple of days ago was about this highly anticipated Japanese Anime, Paprika. After watching the trailer, my jaw just dropped. The movie looks amazing… or at least from what I could see from the trailer. One of the quotes from the trailer:
“Evidence that Japanese animators are reaching for the moon, while most of their American counterparts remain stuck in the kiddie sandbox.”
– The New York Times
The soundtrack used in the trailer has been made free for download by the composer, Susumu Hirasawa. It’s a good idea to download the soundtrack because, after watching the trailer, the music is going to be stuck in your head for a while.
