Motoki commented on Paprika Director Has Kid-Friendly Robotic Dreams

"@themixingitsession: Admittedly I have not read much manga in years, though I've heard there are some good ones out now and may have to do some digging. In terms of Anime though, I have not seen anything that I was crazy about outside of Satoshi Kon in years. Miyazaki is cute and sentimental and at least not total drivel, but I like a little more to my stories. The original Ghost in the Shell film from the 90s was quite good in my opinion, but the recent iterations of it have just been bleh for me."

"I used to love Anime in the olden days (heh) of the 80s and early 90s but I feel like lately the stuff that comes out is massed produced drivel with nowhere near the quality of writing and richness of some of the old works. Satoshi Kon is an exception and I'm grateful he's around and making films."

"@Jennifistopheles: Haha yeah, the first thing I thought was it's Chibi Paprika! I guess it kind of fits in a way since Paprika existed purely as a software avatar anyhow."

"@nutnics: I stories about robots without humans interacting with each other is old hat at all, especially if the subject matter is treated as more than just comic relief."
