Dubs can be alright, mostly for comedies since jokes generally need to be in native language to really make sense, but otherwise I'm sub by rule. Unless it's Hellsing Ultimate. Hellsing Ultimate's dub is great, partly due to it being a show with British and German characters who simply need to be British and German, but also because the dub is actually good for the most part. Even Crispin Freeman is on top form even though he's usually a pile of ass I'd rather castrate than listen to.

Oh I love that ****! I only watched the first half I think, but the island... half season finale I guess, was amazing. I totally totally need to finish that so ****ing bad. Loved the characters so much.
I need to rewatch it again too. Was just looking at my box and was surprised it's 24 episodes. I remembered it as 13 or so. 600 minutes of greatness!
Should also mention that, if you end up really liking Paprika, then the second best thing the same director did (imo), Paranoia Agent, is probably the closest thing you're going to get to something vaguely similar to Paprika. It's not a film, but a sort of mini-seires. A string of loosely connected short stories about a series of mysterious assaults on innocent people. Really, really good and unusual stuff.

I remember watching an episode or two of Paranoia Agent when it was on Adult Swim (late night animation feature on a dedicated cartoon channel that featured a lot of anime). Seemed nice.

The movie was great, but not as an adaptation of the manga. It had great visuals, stunning music etc.. but the manga was what, 2k pages long ? sth like that.. it was as faithful as an adaptation as the latest Ghost in the Shell (the live one, with Scarlett J.).
Which basically means that while it was good enough to stand on its own, plotwise it took a handful of motives from the original and mixed them up a bit.
Wouldn't call myself an otaku and definitely not a weeb but I used to watch anime quite a bit. Akira's animation is just jaw dropping to me still to this day
