Anime Club members are invited to a MEMBERS ONLY special night as we kick off ANIME CLUB REWIND with a fan-voted return of Paprika — back by popular demand after leaving a lasting impression the first time around.

Satoshi Kon’s kaleidoscopic masterpiece is a dazzling collision of dreams, technology, and identity, where the boundaries between the subconscious and reality dissolve into pure cinematic invention. Visually explosive, darkly funny, and endlessly influential, Paprika remains one of anime’s most imaginative big-screen experiences — and a perfect film to revisit together as a community that helped choose it.

After the screening, we’ll break for our complimentary cup noodle bar, then dive into a secret second feature: a landmark work of late-’90s anime that’s as visually audacious as it is emotionally devastating. A surreal, operatic queer coming-of-age story about revolution, desire, and breaking free from the roles we’re assigned, this cult classic is widely regarded as one of the most powerful and beautiful films anime has ever produced. We’re keeping the title under wraps — but longtime fans will know exactly what’s coming.

Two films. Two worlds. One very special night for Anime Club members only.
