Thanks for the heads-up about the French LE; I do read French, so if it's in that language I could probably puzzle through it without much trouble. What I've heard about ...Time has actually been mixed -- the one review I read in detail made it sound like they were not really taking full advantage of the possibilities brought up by the story. But it's been on my to-see list as soon as it comes out domestically.

I finally got this movie yesterday, it was amazing. I love Satoshi Kon and this is now one of my favourites by him.

I highly recommend checking out the R2 French LE - includes a 700 page book (although sadly untranslated), and beautiful case. Also, it may already be OOP, but everyone deserves to see the beautiful R3 Korea LE of "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time". Saw this one in the theater in Singapore (a couple days after I watched Paprika) -- definitely of the best theatrical anime I've seen in a few years -- even better than Paprika overall I'd say.

Sadly IIRC -- mostly from twitchfilm.net and the forums there - the book is all in Japanese (even in the French LE) -- then again, IIRC, you also read manga straight-up, so it's probably not an issue there either. There're some good threads running in the forums there with different SE images as well - you might like to check out some of them, as well as some good discussions and reviews.

I can't wait to buy this movie, Paprkia was the second best Anime movie I saw this year (next to 5 Centimeters Per Second). I was very apprehensive going in to this movie but I was so relieved at the end, Satoshi Kon didn't disappoint again, he's truly one of the best anime Directors out there today.
