Blue is a manga by Kiriko Nananan, serialized in 1996 in the alternative manga magazine COMIC Are!

Manga put a lot of effort into the eventual DVD release, and the result is a very pleasing package.
Manga’s technical efforts on this DVD is superb, and the audio visual elements and menuing systems are as surreal as the film itself.
Manga distinguishes themselves from the pack with their efforts here; about the only thing I can complain about is the lack of 16x9 enhancement.

 THAT Animeblog » Manga Review: Blue Dragon Ral Grado by Takeshi Obata
Blue Dragon is something markedly different from his previous works though - it’s unlike Hikaru no Go or Death Note, which are mostly set in the modern world with a fantasy twist, but is set in a medieval fantasy world where monsters run free.
How Blue Dragon will turn out remains to be seen, but I really look forward to reading more of it.
This Blue Dragon Ral Grudo manga is related to the Xbox 360 game of the same name also.

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.
After two and a half years of being lead singer with the techno-pop trio Cham, 21-year old Mima Kigiroe announces at a concert that she is leaving the group to pursue a movie career.

 Perfect Blue (1998)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
It starts off as a fairly conventional thriller about a teen pop singer who may be the target of a stalker, but then the movie goes completely insane, assaulting the viewer with rapid changes of scene, perspective, and context until we simply don't know what to believe anymore.
Unfortunately, the last minute or so of the movie is much too sappy and uplifting (especially the music on the end credits), cheapening the significance of everything that has gone before.
But as a whole, Perfect Blue is an incredibly haunting thriller, a scathing look at the world of showbusiness, and a very worthwhile film.
