About
Dr. Atsuko Chiba, who enters patients' dreams as Paprika, must stop a dream terrorist after a dream-sharing device is stolen.
In near-future Japan, a newly developed device called the DC Mini lets users view other people's dreams. Dr. Atsuko Chiba, who heads the team working on this dream therapy, uses the machine without official permission to help psychiatric patients outside the research facility. In the dream world she takes on the alter ego of Paprika, a detective. Megumi Hayashibara voices Atsuko and Paprika. Her allies include Dr. Torataro Shima, voiced by Katsunosuke Hori, and Dr. Kosaku Tokita, the DC Mini's inventor, voiced by Toru Furuya. Paprika counsels detective Toshimi Konakawa, voiced by Akio Otsuka, who is troubled by a recurring dream. When the DC Mini is stolen, an unknown dream terrorist begins causing nightmares, and Chiba must stop rogue elements from merging the dream and waking worlds.
