Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
One of the most ambitious animated films to come out of Japan (or anywhere, for that matter), Perfect Blue is an adult psycho-thriller that uses the freedom of the animated image to create the subjective reality of a young actress haunted by the ghost of her past identity. Mima is a singer who leaves her teeny-bop trio to become an actress in a violent television series, a career move that angers her fans, who prefer to see her as the pert, squeaky-clean pop idol. Plagued by self-doubt and tormented by humiliating compromises, she begins to be stalked, in her waking and sleeping moments, by an accusing alter ego who claims to be "the real Mima," until she collapses into madness as her coworkers are brutally slain around her. Director Satoshi Kon, adapting the novel by Yoshikazu Takeuchi, shows us the world from her schizophrenic perspective: days blur, dreams cross over into the waking world, the TV show blends into her real life, until her life merges with her part and she can't separate the ghosts from the real-life stalkers. Though the pat ending sweeps the psychosis and anxiety away with nary an emotional scar, it remains a smart, stylish thriller and one of the most intelligent and compelling uses of animation in recent years. Though tame by the extreme standards of "adult anime," there is nudity and a few sexually provocative scenes, and the animation is detailed and stylized (if somewhat stiff and jerky by Disney standards). --Sean Axmaker

...but for you, perhaps not. If you are sensitive about rape, violent murders and/or are prone to nightmares, this is a movie that you would perhaps want to avoid. If suspense is not your thing and you don't like to think while watching a movie, don't bother.
Perfect Blue starts out as a story about a pop-star-turned-actress (Mima) who might have a fan stalking her. The broader "question" asked could be summed up as "What is reality? What is fake?" Most scenes seem to have two sides ... Read More

A great movie by any classification, as others have said, this film is very like a Hitchcock film. It takes the director a few minutes to get into the swing of things (it was his first feature after all) and the animation at first looks a bit amateurish, but once he finds his feet he sweeps the viewer off his feet and after that happens it takes some effort to keep up with the plot. The film is not as disorienting as his later film, Millennium Actress, and nowhere near as complex as Paprika, but ... Read More

I watched this without knowing a thing about it. I'm relatively new to the whole anime genre so at first I was turned off by the dated look and kind of annoying music (personal tastes of course) BUT I had nothing else to do so I just kept watching it.
Turns out this movie is psycho. Before I knew it I was completely immersed in the story and captivated by the schizo explosion. The bad guy is so creepy looking I can still see his face in my head months later without having to look at ... Read More

I absolutely love this movie. At moments it can be confusing due to switches between the past and present. But I think this just adds to what Mima is feeling and how she deals with her life once she quits CHAM. I was surprised at the twist in events towards the end, but it made the movie that more amazing.
I definitely recommend it for those who like horror and mystery, and can appreciate animation.

Perfect Blue revolves around Mimi: a pretty and talented former pop idol who leaves her former trio behind for the pursuit of an acting career. That career begins in a starring role of a violent and sexually-filled series, which irks her fans that are still in love with her squeaky-clean image; one of which takes it to an extreme as Mimi's co-workers are picked off one by one in brutal fashion, as Mimi herself is being "haunted" by her former self. Wonderfully stylized animation (for the time it was ... Read More
