Product Description
A surprisingly thoughtful analysis of the Japanese pop icon phenomenon. Mima is an ex-pop idol who was worshipped by the masses before fashion dictated otherwise. In order to salvage her career she decides to drop music and pursue acting. A soap opera role is offered but Mima's character is less clean cut than desired. Regardless she agrees and events take a turn for the worse. She begins to feel reality slip. She discovers (imagines?) her identical twin a mirror image that hasn't given up singing. Internet sites appear describing every intimate detail of her life and a figure stalks her from the shadows. Her friends and associates are threatened and killed as Mima descends into a dangerous world of paranoid delusion. She fears for her life and must unravel fact from illusion in order to stay alive.System Requirements:Running Time: 83 mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ANIMATION/ADULT SWIM Rating: R UPC: 013138503091 Manufacturer No: M5030

A MUST OWN ANIME January 3, 2008
Ruggero Deodato (CALI)
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
PERFECT BLUE IS A PERFECT MOVIE. THIS IS A TWISTED TALE OF STALKING, LUST, MURDER AND MOST OF ALL A JOURNEY INSIDE THE MIND OF ONE THAT LOOSE'S ALL SANITY.
THIS IS AN ADULT CRIME DRAMA. THIS ANIME IS JAM PACKED WITH STORYLINE AND CAPTURES THE TRUE GRIT AND FEEL OF EVERYDAY LIFE. THIS ANIME IS A CLASSIC. A CLASSIC ANIME THAT IS A MUST OWN, MUST SEE FOR ANY PERSON THAT IS AN ANIME FREAK. IT'S A DARK TALE OF THE MIND. IT'S A TALE OF LIFE AND CHOICES ONE MAKES.
THIS ANIME IS A VISION OF INSANITY AND ALSO SANITY. TO EXPLORE THAT OBSESSION OF CONTROL AND LACK OF THOUGHT. SOME SAY WELL I COULD NEVER GO THAT FAR. BUT IN REALITY WE ALL CAN STEP OVER THAT LINE OF SANITY AND ENTER INSANITY WHEN WE DON'T EVEN KNOW IT. SOME TIMES THAT OBSESSION CAN CONTROL ONES LIFE.
THIS MOVIE IS ABOUT THE PERFECT FAN, THE OBSESSED STALKER, THE ONE THAT WISHES TO ALWAYS HAVE HIS IDOL THE SAME. BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A POP MUSIC IDOL CHANGES HER IMAGE AND MOVES ON TO A MORE ADULT ROLE. THAT FAN SO LOCKED IN THERE OWN WORLD EXPLODES WITH MADNESS.
THIS MOVIE IS A POWERFUL CRIME DRAMA WITH VIOLENT ACTIONS, BLOOD, NUDITY, TORMENT, AND ACTIONS OF RAPE, AND A JOURNEY INSIDE THE DARKNESS OF THE HUMAN MIND. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS MADE INTO A LIVE ACTION MOVIE, ALL THOU IT COULD NOT GET ANY BETTER, BECAUSE TO ME THIS IS AN ANIME CLASSIC THAT STANDS THE TEST OF TIME.
WHEN PEOPLE ASK ME WHAT ADULT ANIME MOVIE THEY SHOULD WATCH THE FIRST ONE THAT COMES TO MY MIND IS THIS MOVIE. A PERFECT CHOICE OF AMAZING ANIME, STORY, AND THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF THIS TWISTED TALE MAKES FOR A WONDERFUL CINEMATIC MOVIE.
THIS ANIME IS ON SO MANY TOP LISTS AS ANIME MUSTS. THIS IS A TRUE ESSENCE OF ANIME. THIS WAS RECENTLY SHOWN ON T.V. AND THEY DESTROYED THE WHOLE BASIS OF THE MOVIE BY CUTTING HALF OF THE MOVIE OUT. SO IF YOU THINK YOU SAW IT BECAUSE OF VIEWING IT ON REGULAR T.V. YOU DID NOT. THEY DESTROYED THAT MOVIE BY CHOPPING HALF OF THE MOVIE OUT ALOT OF THE KEY PARTS. IF YOU WANT TO SEE IT YOU MUST RENT OR BUY THE UNRATED VERSION, ITS 83 MINS. LONG OF PURE THRILLER, NOT AN HOUR OF CHOPPED UP GARBAGE.
