Dry Ice Factory

I'm looking forward to checking out the opening credits when I get home later (the theme song to Paprika is incredibly catchy as well and is half the reason I'm thinking of seeing it a third time in the theater), but I just ran across this in a review of Satoshi Kon's Tokyo Godfathers (2003) and had to pass it along: 'Tokyo Godfathers you can pass on, but don't head for the palm trees just yet. Kon might have redeemed himself with this year's much more challenging WOWOW channel cable series, Paranoia Agent (Mousou dairinin). Contrary to anything the director has done since Memories, this 13-episode project dives straight into its nightmares and never comes out, providing probably the most upsetting and unexpected TV anime thrills since Hideaki Anno's Neon Genesis Evangelion (Shin Seiki Evangerion) in 1995. The first episode sets up a parody of one of Japan's cute "cultural powers" that is bound to keep you guessing. There's a U.S. DVD release of this one lurking just around the corner, if you dare to look.'

Hope I can find the DVDs at a rental store, since the boxed set is listed for around $60 online.
