Summary: Messed up movie
Review: For an anime movie, this was ok. Movies tend to have little time to set plots and never really go anywhere, or go too fast. This one, however, did a lot of jumping around and you could never really tell whether it was a dream, really happening, an imagination, or what it was. You'll be saying "Wait, didn't he die?" Cause half the time you don't even find out if it was real till the end. However, it did still have a good plot to it and the voice acting is pretty good.

Summary: Good Show
Review: No giant robots, no swordplay and no space battles but I thoroughly enjoyed watching this film. The animation is very good and enhances this top-notch suspense story about a Japanese pop singer stalked by a maniac. There are fantasy elements in Perfect Blue but they are woven into the story very well. I recommend this film to anyone who likes good movies as well as Anime fans.

Summary: Very confusing.
Review: This was a great movie with a good plot. The only problem I saw with it was how depressing it was. But, even so, I didn't rate it any lower because of this, since I felt it was the intention for this particular movie. Buy it, but don't watch it alone.

Summary: Wow this movie .... don't waste your money.
Review: Have you ever noticed that all the movies reviews by Amazon have high ratings? .... It dealt with mature contect in an imature fashion. Kids can't watch this because it is not appropriate material, adults can't watch it because the plot and screaming and crying are to juvenile to enjoy, please don't waste your money. .... stick to Ghost in a shell or Akira. I will bet you for every 10 people who actually purchase this movie only the least discerning of quality will actually enjoy. Basically if you like everthing you will like this, if you have some critical thinking capability you will hate it.

Summary: Excuse me...who are you?
Review: Perfect Blue is an incredible movie. I bought it at an anime convention because I had heard great reviews about it. And I don't regret buying it at all. To fully enjoy it, you have to pay attention, and you really have to appreciate suspense movies. In fact, it may take you more than one viewing to fully understand it. But it doesn't matter, because the fact of the matter is, Perfect Blue is one of the greatest anime films of all time, second only to Princess Mononoke and Akira.

Summary: Perfect Blue (1997) d: Kon, Satoshi
Review: I find it hard to pick out a really good adult Japanimation film. Being animated, at first glance, they all look like children's movies. The ones that don't usually are not that hard edged or bizarre at all. Perfect Blue, however is an exception. The film was such large success at Montreal's 1997 Fant-Asia Festival, that it forced the organizers to show extra screenings of this anime masterpiece. The film centers around, Mima Kirigoe, a pop idol who quits her career and becomes an actress. To achieve stardom she must drop the good girl look, and start doing sexually charged scenes in a made for TV movie. ...While on the internet Mima discovers a web site describing every intimate detail of her life. Helpless and afraid, she watches as her associates are threatened and killed by a mysterious stalker. Associate producer Hitomi Nakagaki has said that ...they intended to break the ice with regard to the presumed emotional boundaries of animation, to force mass audiences to recognize the medium as a forum for raw expressionist delirium and exploration of all things adult. The film is a psychological cross between Dario Argento's suspense, and the thrillers of Alfred Hitchcock

Summary: Perfect. Very, very well executed
Review: This movie is visually stunning, aggressive, inspiring, strangely familiar, real, surreal, innovative, multi layered. In order to achieve all these qualities simultaneously, it needed to be animated. It is animated, in order to achieve effects, not possible with actors and real world sets. Only an animated feature can drift so seamlessly between dream and reality, visions of the inner eye and outside world perception. This movie does all this very, very well. The characters are drawn in a way that allows the viewer to accept them as real life personalities, yet ambiguous enough to allow the viewer to forget the psychological distance between the viewer and the viewed. The psychological identification with the main character, is possible and because of the nature of the movie, especially intimate. We can forget at times that we are watching an animated feature. And then there are these perfectly composed shots, so brutally perfect, so incredibly well constructed, so intricately composed in their frame, that they could only be created with the slow motion process of classic cell animation. If you are looking for a movie which is a very high quality animated feature, with intricate, complex characters, and a multi layered story line which goes beyond the monochrome characters of many western features, then you should definitely watch "Perfect Blue." (And because it is quite complex and really well done, you will want to watch it again, so buying it might be a really good idea). If you are looking for an action packed visual distraction, then this might not be the right one for you. There is action on screen, but it is not there to provide any pleasure to the viewer. It serves as another element of pain to the protagonist and therefore to the viewer. The movie contains nudity, which feels quite uncomfortable to the protagonist and therefore to the viewer. This is definitely a mature movie experience, for a mature, interested viewer who would like to take a look into the mind of a character who does not quite know how close she is to schizophrenia, and if it is really her at all.

Summary: Perfect;ly one of the best animes of all time...
Review: Yes, this movie might be confusing, but still it's great, the animation it's great, the story it's scary, well everything in the movie it's great, it should be putted along with the best anime movies list of all time, in the first place i would put "Princess Mononoke:, in the Second "Ghost in the Shell", in the third "Perfect Blue", i am not saying that one is better than the other, all of them deserve the first place, i recently heard that anime it's satanic, well I don't think so, they judge such incredible animes such as "The Wings of Honneamaise", "Macross" (I don't like "Macross" too much, but i stil like it), and "Ghost In the Shell", I know that anime takes themes like death,religion, demons, but so?, they also judge "Perfect Blue", oh please!, they are just wrong, because anime it's the animation of Japan, and the reason why it calls the attention it's because it's hard aged and better than american animation, you should really buy this one and "Ghost in the Shell" and "Princess Mononoke", and also maybe "The Castle of Cagliostro".

Summary: A dedicated anime fan
Review: I can't help but say that this is the best anime film in a long time. Probubly of all time. I sincerely doubt that they can make another film to top this. With exceptionaly good animation and a story line that is just packed with twists and turns this is definatly an anime to see. I only wish the novel it was based off of was available. Oh, and don't worry if you don't get it the first time through. Your not supposed to. It had me in a stuper for a while. Here's a little tip, EVERYTHING in the story is link to the main idea and plot. The only scene I still have trouble with is the begining. Well, you'll see. In short, good animation, and outstanding story.

Summary: Perfect Confusion
Review: Well, if this is considered one of the best - I'm very disappointed. Poor animation with little attention to detail - this anime looked decades older than "Akira." Hardly terrifying and I guess I became paranoid just watching the story creep along with little action. "Excuse Me...Is this good Anime?"So I only give a single star based on the catchy tune by Cham. This is one Manga video that is headed out the door.
