Paprika Giantess Scene

I came across an anime called Paprika shortly after it came out on video. Knowing almost nothing of the movie beyond the bizarre box cover, I decided to buy it. It's now one of my favorite anime movies with one of my favorite giantess scenes.

The movie was directed by Satoshi Kon, the Japanese auteur behind surreal anime classics like Perfect Blue and Paranoia Agent as well as the critical acclaimed Tokyo Godfathers.  Though Paprika doesn't quite live up to some of his other films, it's still a very enjoyable trip down the rabbit hole into the world of dreams.

The movie centers around an experimental device that allows therapists to see and even enter their patient's dreams. The device is stolen, giving the thief control over the dreams and minds of others. Chaos and madness ensue and it's up to psychiatrist Atsuko Chiba and her daring dream alter ego Paprika to set things right.

Paprika is a fantastic film full of mindbending scenes that blur the line between dream and reality.The climax has Dr. Chiba grow gigantic in the middle of Tokyo to face off against the Big Bad.

The video below shows the giantess scene. Since it takes place right at the end, there are spoilers for those who haven't seen the film yet.

I had to cut a bit of the scene because of Youtube's policies. If you want to see the unedited version, you can find it here.

Giant Girls in Games

The Daibijin/Demolition Girl

The Daibijin (Demolition Girl in the U.S.) is a 2005 PS2 title, the 50th game in the Simple 2000 series. It's basically Attack of the 50 Foot Woman combined with some elements of the kaiju genre.

Piloting a helicopter and a tank, you have to keep the giantess Riho Futaba from destroying cities as well as fight the aliens that caused her growth. In the final level, Riho scales a skyscraper King Kong style and you must shrink her with a ray before she reaches the top while dealing with the aliens.

Mister Mosquito

The early 2000's were a good time for macrophile gamers. In 2001, we got Mister Mosquito, a game where you play as a mosquito collecting blood from the inhabitants of a home in Japan. Among your targets are Rena and Ayaka, two young girls who tower over the minuscule protagonist.
