This week, Nigel and Tazziii welcome Melanin Gamers team members Laura and Donavan for a deep dive into Satoshi Kon’s surreal anime thriller Paprika. We break down the many thought-provoking themes and what the story says about our relationship with our dreams and media environment. This week’s storytelling tip is about creating transitions to develop your story’s narrative.
Other stories we’re enjoying this week: The time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Miss Kobayashi, Until Dawn, Shield Hero, Ori and the Blind Forest, Avatar: The Last Airbender – The Promise, Kuroko’s Basketball.
