I did a draw! I've been looking at it for so long I'm not sure if it's any good, but I did it
(this is Jigen's current voice actor, who apparently just wears a Jigen hat for his public appearances now, which is adorable and so is he)

If this is the closest we are going to get for Jigen to be a real cowboy I’ll take the ‘washed up old man on a Hawaiian vacation AU’ anyday

Paprika (2006)
Paprika is a fever dream blast of inspiration that is simultaneously wonderful to behold and nightmare-inducing. It ends on a low note but the trip to that conclusion ensorcels you so completely you may not even care.
In the near future, Doctor Atsuko Chiba (voiced by Megumi Hayashibara) uses the experimental DC Mini device to hop into her patients’ dreams and treat their subconscious using her alter-ego, Paprika. When people exposed to the device, including her boss, Doctor Toratarō Shima (Katsunosuke Hori), start exhibiting erratic behaviour culminating in suicide attempts, Paprika must explore the increasingly bizarre dreams they collectively share to find out who is responsible. How does the strange parade of creatures and living objects connect to her patient, Detective Toshimi Konakawa (Akio Ōtsuka), the scientists responsible for creating the DC Mini, Doctor Kōsaku Tokita (Tōru Furuya), and Kei Himuro (Daisuke Sakaguchi). More importantly, why is this happening?
The medium of animation is perfect for this kind of story. You would need so many special effects to bring the otherworldly sights of the dream world to life it would’ve basically turned into an animated movie anyway. Director Satoshi Kon has so many visual tricks up their sleeve. Paprika’s movements are inhibited only by her imagination. This is shown in the mind-blowing opening scene in which she moves from reflections on windows, to pictures on T-shirts to billboards and anything you could think of to get from one place to another. Many scenes show characters morphing or changing as their consciousness gets sucked into the never-ending parade of weird objects invading everyone’s dreams. When you see it, you don’t know whether to run for the hills screaming or force your eyes open so you don’t miss a second. The colours and creativity in these visuals are so dazzling it doesn’t even matter that sometimes you'll have difficulty understanding the plot.
The film ensnares you in this whirlwind of wonder and unease. You have difficulty differentiating reality from dreams, except when someone wakes up and points out how crazy things were a second ago. That’s the power of this story. And then, we get to the conclusion, which is a major letdown. Not only can you decipher the mastermind behind this big thing based on the character's design, the reason for everything doesn’t really make much sense. You’re left wondering if maybe the translation was bad, or if this story really wasn’t all that good and you were just swept up in all the razzle-dazzle. Ultimately, I say there is more to the film than just what you see. The mystery is compelling and the twist keep you guessing. It’s just everything before the conclusion was so great that when this generic ending comes around, it feels even worse than it is.
The last few minutes of Paprika will split audiences. Either you’ll love it and it’ll become a new favourite, or it’ll leave you with mixed feelings, meaning you’ll be blown away by the movie but content with just seeing it once... maybe two or three times. The sights within are nothing short of incredible so regardless of how you may feel about that finale, it���s worth seeing. (English Dub on DVD, May 24 2019)

Good Night World Trailer
The online game "Planet" is home to a powerful team of players going by the name "The Akabane Family," with its members making up a pseudo-family that only exists in-game. Unbeknownst to the players, though, the four are actually all members of a broken, real-life family: a shut-in older brother, a high-achieving younger brother, an un-respected father, and a mother neglecting her household. In the game, The Akabane Family deals with monsters, guild clashes, and the machinations of "Black Bird," the game's final objective. "The tale takes a major turn as it entangles the real world and this real family." (Netflix)
Based on the manga by Uru Okabe, Good Night World is directed by Katsuya Kikuchi from a screenplay by Michiko Yokote. The anime stars the voice talents of Daisuke Hirose (Ichi / Taichiro Arima), Nobunaga Shimazaki (AAAAA / Asuma Arima), Akio Otsuka (Shiro / Kojiro Arima), Aya Endo (May / Miyabi Arima), Aoi Yuki (Pico), Ryohei Kimura (Leon), Hiroki Nanami (Sasumata), Kenjiro Tsuda (Shigatera), Rie Takahashi (Hana Kamuro), and Inori Minase (Aya Arima)
Good Night World hits Netflix on October 12, 2023.

Stayed up way too late looking at seiyuu filmography (Daisuke Ono and Hiroshi Kamiya to be exact), then switched to Akio Otsuka because I wasn't familiar with his work but actually I was.
#durarara#lupin iii#akio otsuka#i switched to french out of shock but also because i intend to share this information with my childhood bestie in the morning#i literally realized halfway through typing it that 'kishitani' was shinra's last name and i put two and two together lmao#i'd pretty much forgotten about shingen#apparently he has a bigger part in season 2 so i'll be all ears
