PAPRIKA -- ** 1/2 -- Animated feature; in Japanese, with English subtitles; rated R (violence, brief sex, brief nudity, vulgarity, brief gore) Satoshi Kon isn't nearly as well-known as his fellow Japanese animators Hayao Miyazaki (the Oscar-winning 2002 fantasy "Spirited Away") or Katsuhiro Otomo (the 1988 cult classic "Akira") -- even to many American anime fans.
STEAMBOY -- *** -- Animated feature dubbed with the voices of Anna Paquin, Patrick Stewart; rated PG-13 (violence, mild profanity). Katsuhiro Otomo's 1988 film "Akira" is one of the undeniable recent classics of both manga (Japanese comic books) and anime (Japanese animation). What's more, it's also a terrific science- fiction movie, which explains why there continues to be rumors of a live-action version of it in the works (the latest rumor involves "Catwoman" director Pitof).

Hoberman, Atkinson and Lim offer their choices of motion pictures, which for them should belong to the top 10 of the seventh annual Voice alt-press critic's poll.

In his raucous manga about two boys battling mobsters, Black & White, Taiyo Matsumoto prominently divides his panels with borders cutting across the page at acute angles, jaggedly cropping the scenes, which (as in much of the work here) constantly shift their points of view.

The massive, unlikely success of Japanese animation in America -- now a multimillion-dollar concern encompassing film, television and manga (long-form comic books) -- can be traced back to one big movie, "Akira" (1988). Japanese television shows -- "Speed Racer," "Robotech," "Voltron" -- had previously been adapted for the American market. But there was nothing like "Akira," a massive, apocalyptic, serious science fiction epic that begins with Tokyo's destruction, symbolically wiping out everything that came before. Even now, it's remarkable that something so defiantly weird and without precedent would catch on the way it did.
