- Steamboy - From what I've seen of it, it does have a happy ending and a semi-mystery to boot. Like steampunk stories?
- Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shamballa - Familiar with the FMA series? Even if you're not, just remember that the MC is stuck in our world where we have no alchemy, and you should be fine. As a standalone movie, even if some of the characters are unfamiliar, it's still a good story.
- Lupin III: Castle of Calliogstro - Has some of the Ghibli magic (in terms of the staff members), but isn't a Ghibli film. Your classic adventure packed story of a good guy saving the girl from the baddie, buuuut, this is Lupin I'm talking here. Wherever Lupin goes, mayhem will follow.
- This one is just a teeny stretch, but I consider Little Nemo: Adventure in Slumberland a Japanese animated movie, more-so, considering the number of Japanese on the animation staff. Hayao Miyazaki, at one point, was part of the team and you can clearly see his work at the beginning of the movie.
One of my fav movies to forever cherish.And on the small topic of Paprika, I got as far as the OP credits and beginning first scene, but couldn't go beyond it.
(Overall though, I have no opinion on it. *shrugs*)________________
