Want to be the envy of all animation fans? Then enter our give-away to win a 6"x4" statuette based on Satoshi Kon's Paprika!

One of five copies will be awarded to each of the winners selected from a random drawing of e-mails sent to animecontest@gmail.com

The deadline for entries is Midnight US Eastern 4/1/07.

Paprika is the latest movie from Satoshi Kon, the anime auteur responsible for the acclaimed movies Perfect Blue , Millennium Actress and Tokyo Godfathers , and TV series Paranoia Agent. Produced at Studio Madhouse, Paprika adapts a novel from influential sci-fi writer Yasutaka Tsutsui, whose work also inspired the recent Madhouse/Mamoru Hosoda movie The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.

Anime's queen of voice acting Megumi Hayashibara plays the role of Dr. Atsuko Chiba, a scientist who must contend with her own alter-ego "Parika" in order to solve the mystery behind the thief of a device that can read a person's subconscious thoughts.

Sony Pictures Classics' North American release of the film opens May 25th in New York and June 1st in LA.

    I can't wait to see this movie! There really is nothing else to look forward to in the cinema this year (well, other than Chow Yun Fat as a Pirate, and hopefully Spidey 3 is good too :)
