Summary: Non-Stop Pulse Pounding Suspense/Thriller
Review: This movie was top notch. All i have to say about Perfect Blue is nothing short of Fantastic. The animation was brilliant, the characters were likable, And the plot moves along like a waterfall. You should definetly keep this movie from the kiddies. This movie is violent, disturbing, and stylish all at the same time. The film is set around a pop singer Mima Kirigoe who wants to quite her singing career, and become an astounding actress. Yet not all is as it seems, when she starts to hallucinate, and her friends and colleags start to die by an unexpected stalker. Like I said before this movie is nothing short of fantastic. Please for your own good go buy it.

Summary: Terrible film I have no clue what these reviewers are smok'n
Review: I actually own this film thinking that it was going to be a good film. The video's synopsis sounded so interesting...or so I thought. This film is actually one of the worst decisions I have ever thought to spend my money on. This one is really bad and dont buy it. Dont get me wrong I understood the film and what it was trying to do but my God this is horrible. Wow I have no clue what these reviers saw in this film but this is junk. The plot was totally predictable. Really this film is not original at all. What it is about is really a female actress who is being stalked by someone and at the same time she becomes paranoid about her image especially when the public writes stuff about her on the for example the internet and so forth. Ya see my point... this is garbage. Ya if you want to watch non boring anime, try Battle Angel, Black Lion, Vampire Hunter 1 and 2. Those are some good ones right off the top of my head.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not completely perfect.
Review: Perfect Blue is about a girl who used to be a pop idol but made a coureer change to become an actor. After she changes professions she finds herself being stalked. ok. um. yeah. ::tries to remember other stuff:: wooo, I just watched this movie like a few hours ago and I'm starting to forget the complete story! Maybe its because my brain just started melting after I watched the first 30 minutes! Yes. It is that confusing. In fact the minute right when the credits started rolling my brain just EXPLODED and I couldn't think of anything at all. Thats how confusing Perfect Blue was. The whole thing is basically straightened out in the end, but still, that first 30-40 minutes is a real mind job.
Ok, anyway, now that I got that across, the film has very very nice quality animation. The dub is actually quite good aswell.
The story itself is actually quite good, it will make you fairly edgy.

Let me say this: This is the only pyschological thriller that has made me go crazy. To some extent.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A worth seeing thriller
Review: Perfect Blue is the first physcological thriller to have ever disturbed in such a way.
It also takes us to the darker part of stardom.
You won't know what to think, each scene is unpredictable as the next. The voices in the dubbed version is well done with good acting.

But be prepared for a confusing plot and mind bending questions.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A best in anime...
Review: One of the few MUSTS, of anime video.
Everything is just too "perfect" you need to see it yourself.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Anime At it's Best.
Review: This anime was to be filmed as a live action film, but ended up as cartoon. This is one of these anime that has a lot of story in it, yet it can be seen as a horror film, especially in the unrated version. The film is about a pop star named Mima, who quits her career to become an actress. She gets a role in a sexually charged murder mystery as a rape victim, but her life becomes starts to become a relentless nightmare win a stalker starts to kill her associates (in gory ways), and worst of all someone waths her dead, but that is all I can say about it, the rest is too hard to put to words. This is a good anime, so the next time you are looking for something different, get this...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A very good psychological thriller
Review: This anime was a very good psychological thriller...I liked this one because it left you hanging at the end and it just had so many twists in it.The story was very good.It's about Mima a pop idol and she quit and became an actress and basically everything falls apart from there and thats all i'm going to say about the story.The dubbed voices are pretty good they don't bother me.I don't remember the music too much all except the cham songs which were good but I like the Japanese version better.Overall this is very good movie with some good psychological stuff in it and with some violence.I find this one a big classic with good music and stuff to leave you hanging but you'll just have to see it.If you like a good psychological thriller with stuff to leave you hangin and violence and other stuff then this is the anime for you.I reccomend buying this one once you see it in the store.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Excuse me,who are you?"
Review: The story is about a young singer,Mima,who has just quit her band to become an actress.BAD CAREER MOVE!.(perhaps she should have read the script first).
The TV series she plays in could easily win the first prize for the most filthy and violent series ever.Her role in
that series forces her to change her image dramatically,making a lot of her fans upset.Especially an obsessed maniac who follows every move she makes.After a while those who are closely involved
in the series are been brutaly murdered and as for Mima,she starts to have terible halucinations about an alter ego that accuses her of "tarnishing" her reputation.
I could say that this film was the most captivating I have ever seen.There are many times when even the one who is watching the film confuses reality with the ilusions and you begin to question yourself:'What is real?'And as the film progresses to the end you don't know what to believe before the final disclosure of the killer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very good
Review: Perfect blue is not your average anime. It is not about weird alien landscapes , guns , creatures or martial art experts. What we have is a psychological thriller in the vein of fight club and psycho. A sweet young pop star who did not not really make it big in the pop charts with her group is advised to enter in to the world of acting. In this tranformation period, she slowly exits the pink heaven of half pop stardom and enters the hard and cold world of acting in which she slowly looses her innocence despite all her naivity which she desperately holds on to. This troubled part of her life is well placed and close to reality.
After clashes between her personality and egos and regret that comes out of this sudden transformation thus trapped in a nightmarish illusions and dissapearance of the perceiving time and space , she is also troubled by a fan who sets an internet fan page for her. I do not wish to explain any further in order not to spoil your enjoyment and all I can say is perfect blue is a classy, unique as well as an unusual manga. It is a very good psychological thriller which shifts in to real life drama genre. Ending is also very interesting.After all it is made in Japan and they know how to cook weird stuff very well without overdoing it.
One of the better examples of Japanese anime series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Perfect Blue
Review: A favorite of mine.

The animation is very crisp, unlike a lot of the other anime
(and I've seen plenty in my time), Perfect Blue has a done a
very outstanding job of capturing how people move. The very
first concert with their dance rountine is proof of that.

The store is very well done, focusing more on psychological
problems that ensue with they images you build for yourself.
Perfect Blue has a very wide range of themes that could make
an interesting conversational material.

I recommend watching it more than once. There are a lot of
things that I personally didn't quite get until watching it
the second time around. I also recommend that it be watched
subtitled w/ japanese voices so that it can be enjoyed the
way that it was intended to be enjoyed (as I would with any
other Anime--with the exception of Vampire Hunter D 2 and
Blood the Last Vampire, but those are both special cases).
