I don’t usually binge watch animes or tv series, but Death Note is among the few that I have watched non stop and completed in just 1 or 2 sittings. perhaps the only anime/tv series/ movie that I have sacrificed my sleep for, watching it overnight. This captivating thriller is well worth for repeat viewing too.

Paprika

I enjoy watching popular anime but not really a big fan of the genre. Film medium is more of my preference, with Christopher Nolan being my one of my favorite directors. However, Once I found that my favorite film Inception was inspired by this Japanese anime film “Paprika” from 2006, I had to give it a watch. The trailer and music seemed thrilling, but nothing could have prepared me for the movie. It just starts right in the middle of it. Great movie, engaging story, with just 90 minutes of run time, leaves you wanting for more.
