The Heavy Artillery Battlepod is a variant of the standard Zentraedi infantry mecha that is frequently encountered during the First Robotech War. Known as the Serauhaug-Regult within the Zentraedi ranks, its key distinguishing feature is its ability to launch heavy long-range warheads at very large targets.
I always knew that somehow Paprika, in one way or another, influenced some of the ideas behind Inception. For those who have already seen Paprika, I think you already know what I’m talking about. But for those who haven’t seen this groundbreaking anime yet, you owe it to yourself to watch this, especially if you liked Inception.
I have to warn you though, Paprika is more mindtrippin’ compared to Inception. To call Paprika a sensory overload would be an understatement. ^^;
The French film site Excessif reports that Nolan has acknowledged the influence of Satoshi Kon’s anime adaptation of Yasutaka Tsutsui’s Paprika novel, although does not quote him directly:
“Christopher Nolan cites [Paprika] as one of the principal influences and was inspired by its main character to flesh out his character played by Ellen Page, a ’spirit architect’ named Ariadne.”
