I'm currently watching "Boogiepop Phantom", a classic anime series that was created during the golden age of anime (1998-2006) and right there during episode 7 they introduced a character named Spookie Electric. Later in the show they introduced Paisley Park, a creepy amusement park that was never finished where you can become a child again (with unfortunate results).

Boogiepop is a whacked series. I say it's "Twin Peaks" meets "My So-Called Life". But what does Prince have to do with it? Apparently the creator was a fan otherwise he wouldn't have referenced Prince lore in his story. I say it's pretty fitting. Is this old news? I don't get on here often, but if you haven't seen the series then you owe it to yourself. You might get lost but you can't take your mind off it.

Huh???

I'm a big anime fan, but never knew about this. There's some info about the Prince references on wikipedia:

Very cool.

I like the fact that episodes were named after more obscure Prince songs...

Yeah, and I've never seen this connection mentioned here before... surprising...

I know "Boogiepop Phantom",my brother has this book(not manga).

I think that the author of the book is big Prince fan.

He is Japanese auther, so I was surprised that you know about this anime.

And do you know about "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure"?

This manga creator also liles Prince.
The one of the charactors(Giorno Giovanna:http://en.wikipedia.org/w...no_Giovana)

has supernatural power,it is called "Gold Experience"

It is so interesting! Please check it out
