Action is a rich subgenre of the anime world and this season wouldn’t be complete without it. In Satoshi Kon’s outstanding sci-fi, a young scientist must retrieve a prototype that allows therapists to enter their patients’ dreams from the wrong hands before it’s too late. Paprika heavily influenced Christopher Nolan’s Inception, and countless other films since hitting the screens in 2006. Dr Atsuko Chiba/Paprika is a heroine like no other who will go as far as she needs to to save us all.
