It's the chasing after him I really love.

now that I think of it, Satoshi Kon’s main women ALL have identity and accepting themselves and being themselves as their main thing

Mima is obvious. Reclaiming her identity from the audience and people in general, how they perceive her, how she’s always performing for others even in private and nearly loses herself. There’s a reason the last line of the movie is “I’m the real one!”

Chiyoko from Millennium Actress, an actress who willingly leaves the spotlight to life a quiet life for herself, who only gives an interview towards the end of her life.

Hana, Tokyo Godfathers, her whole thing is that she is unabashedly herself, she’s a woman, and she won’t be quiet about it, because she knows who she is and accepts that and owns it.

Chiba from Paprika, her thing is reconciling the public Atsuko Chiba with Paprika, the persona that helps people with their problems via their dreams, the cheerful woman she feels she can’t be until the end where we see her Chiba self in a dream embracing the man she loves!
