Here’s a creepy image of a 3-D anime girl if she were human. I have no other information on how this photo came to be. Just go with it.

“Paprika, is the inside of my head this messed up?!”  If you’ve never seen Paprika, Satoshi Kon‘s wildly imaginative anime from ‘06, it’s definitely a head trip worth taking.  The film’s infamous “parade” sequence disturbs and dazzles in equal measures (see here, and here), and possibly explains why the “augmented reality” clip below induced in me a host of uneasy feelings.  Thanks again, JapanProbe!

 
Last week the new footage and legacy-dissecting book, this week Anne Frank in anime.  Is there a genre that can’t somehow accommodate her story?  Directed by Eiji Okabe, Anne no Nikki combines the story of Frank’s confinement with “fantasy” adaptations of four of her short stories—Fear, The Wise Dwarf, Henrietta, and The Adventures of Bralee the Bear Cub—which saw later publication in Tales from the Secret Annex. 

An English version of “Anne no Nikki” has never been released, but I find it comforting it’s out there in French, Italian and Arabic.  Anne no Nikki?
