Summary: An incredible suspense
Review: Perfect Blue is an absolute masterpiece. The plot is incredible; full of drama, horror and suspense. Confusing at times, the movie leaves you guessing. It make you think, which is a wonderful part of it.

The animation is very good and detailed. Some of the part were most definately situations for adults only and added to the depth of this movie. All in all, I recommend this movie if you are looking for a thrill ride.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Exellent Movie for Adults
Review: This Movie breaks the three american rules for Anime and gets away with it. 1. No body holds less than five gallons of blood. 2. Every thing explodes. ( EVERY THING ) 3. Nudity is Ok, But no Detail. But this movie broke them. If you can look past some of the parts that some people find offensive. You will find a movie that has a deep plot and story that will keep you guessing to the end. Was is all a Dream or Real?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: pleasantly suprising
Review: this movie was great. the plot kept on twisting which got a little confusing at first, but then in the end it all fell together. one of the best parts is when the a guy gets stabbed. It looks great and is pretty bloody. Is a must see

Summary: perfect blue
Review: this anime film was stale, bland and uninteresting. I fell asleep two times while watching before I finally completed with my final analsys. the characters were dull and obtrusive, the sound was nothing to get excited about. and as for the plot, i will stick to hitchcock's brillant masterpieces over this tripe. harsh but true.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is awsome!
Review: This was probabably one of the best animes I have ever seen! It had a great plot with many twists and turns along with some great dubbing! The actual movie is highly thought provoking and should not be seen by those who want pountless action. But, for those who love intellectual puzzles, this anime will amaze and astound you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great movie
Review: This movie is one of the reasons I fell in love with Anime. THe story is adult, and better than anything Hollywood recently. This movie is truly an example of how the Anime genre can be used to explore human thought, that I don't think can be done in a real life movie. Just watch it and you will understand.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Perfect Blue
Review: Perfect Blue is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. I don't even think Dionne Warrick, could of predicted the end of this movie.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Interesting concept, poor execution
Review: Perfect Blue is a decent film, but there are many other mature animes out on the market that are far superior. The ideas are compelling; the execution is disappointing

The whole issue of Japanese gender roles are taken out and examined... Not very uplifting, since it reinforces an idea that women are simply valued for their phycial attributes -- thus the older woman wants to become the younger one. Also, a "cute" pop singer is more valued than a talented actress with some depth.

The concept of seeing things through the eyes of someone going through a nervous breakdown/personality disorder is interesting, but not terribly original. However, the art work is excellent. Also, many will find the movie repetitive as scenes are repeated for added significance and several images are blatantly regurgitated.

A good film to rent, but a collector would do well to think twice before purchasing it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If Hitchcock was alive today he'd DIE!
Review: Mina is a pop idol who decides to become an actress. A stalker feels that this is a bad decision. If I said any more then the picture would be ruined.

One review states that if Hitchcock and Disney had teamed up they'd make a movie like this. 1. Disney was not this talented and 2. Hitchcock was not this inteligent.

The animation is by far some of the most realistic I have seen in animie; from the movement of the characters to the detailed city scapes, everything is stunning.

The story itself will leave you dazed and confused for days. It twists and turns so much that it's almost coma inducing. No matter how many times you think you have figured it out you are always given something new to think about.

If you are a slasher-thriller fan then this will be a valued part of your collection.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A departure from the norm of anime
Review: Having recently watched Perfect blue I have found that the critics were partly right in saying that if Hitchcock made a film with Disney it would turn out like this.The film centres on a former pop idol turned actress who begins to think that she is losing her mind. The plot is very diverse in that it tries to show how stardom can deeply affect the mental state of the person in the spotlight. It entertains well with a strange mix of brutal violence and quiet reflection. It's downfall comes from the fact that it's plot does have some holes that are noticible when you finish watching the film. It is still a recommended purchase as it is different to most of the manga releases that are high on violence but low on plot.
