If you loved Paprika, try Perfect Blue
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Satoshi Kon, and they both carry the foreign gem, mindfuck, surreal mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Paprika, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Perfect Blue is
Tokyo, neon lights reflecting off wet pavement, a distant siren. A pop star's final performance, a TV studio's sterile glow, and the blurred lines of a fragmented identity. Kon's debut feature is a psychological plunge.
