	TheMovieBoy Review: Perfect Blue (1997)
		"Perfect Blue" is a wildly inventive creation that is just about as adult as an animated film can get, and at times, I even started to forget that it was, in fact, animated.
		At 80 minutes, "Perfect Blue" runs at a brisk pace, but still manages to grow tedious and slightly confusing in the middle half-hour, which becomes particularly repetitive.
		"Perfect Blue" isn't quite as perfect as the title suggests, but it is still a film that I could easily recommend to those searching for something a bit more original than the norm.

	AAW: Perfect Blue Review
		Perfect Blue, though not quite as perfect as its hype declares, is an all-around impressive movie rather like a Hollywood thriller set in contemporary Japan and filmed through an anime lens.
		Thanks mostly to its multi-layered characters, Perfect Blue is an emotionally potent movie, playing on common fears like performance anxiety and more extreme situations like Internet paranoia, the trauma of sexual violence, and the emotional effects of being an actor and the borderline exploitation one can get caught up in.
		Perfect Blue is based on a suspense novel by Yoshikazu Takeuchi, and Katsuhiro Otomo (of Akira fame) had a hand in the production as a special advisor.

		Perfect Blue is very intriguing film, on one half it is an innovative Hitchcockian thriller and the other a poignant "finger pointing" exercise.
		Perfect Blue is the tale of pop singer Mima who has grown tired of being a successful, but not excessively so, pop idol and yearns to become an actor.
		Perfect Blue is one of those movies that many people will just pass of as "stupid" or "confusing." Luckily the people in the anime community are of a higher intelligence than most of the rest of the population and can appreciate this...

	Perfect Blue \| Anime Reviews \| SCI FI Weekly
		Perfect Blue's serious graphic content and challenging nonlinear storyline place it on a high shelf alongside Mamuro Oshii's Ghost in the Shell and Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira.
		But ultimately, Perfect Blue's success lies in the twisted, self-referential storyline that intercuts reality with fantasy so fluidly that viewers inevitably take on Mima's shattered point of view, unable to distinguish the truth until the stunning conclusion.
		Perfect Blue wasn't originally conceived as a theatrical film, and it may actually end up looking better on a TV screen.

		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.
		Perfect Blue is one of my all time favorite anime's by Manga.
		Perfect Blue is quite a mind trip and will have you guessing the whole way through.

		Satoshi Kon's animated movie Perfect Blue tells the story of Mima, a young singer who retires from the pop group to which she belongs in order to become an actress.
		Perfect Blue often appears to be developing into a fascinating film, but, burdened by a number of clichés, obvious red herrings, and a contrived ending that makes absolutely no sense, it ultimately falters.
		Perfect Blue is ultimately a failure, but it is an interesting film.

	Perfect Blue at DVDwolf.com
		Perfect Blue represents a major change from traditional anime subject matter, analysing the pop icon phenomenon, fame and its psychological impact on the performer.
		But what really sets Perfect Blue up as being one of the great anime films out there (I include Akira at the top) is the way the story is told.
		Quickly, with a lot of style and always focusing on the characters and story at hand, not taking time to really deviate from the main character of Mima and the horrors that are surrounding her life.

	Japanese Movie Review \| Perfect Blue (2002) Toshiki Sato
		"Perfect Blue" also touches on what I find to be a rather disturbing preoccupation in Japan.
		"Perfect Blue" manages to keep the viewer hooked with its fancy footwork by successfully pulling off what could have easily turned into an aimless exercise in exploitation and orgiastic violence.
		Visually inventive, thematically dark, gruesomely violent and narratively intricate, "Perfect Blue" is, without a doubt, a satisfying piece of entertainment.

	Perfect Blue
		Probably the most appreciated aspect of Perfect Blue is that the audience isn't aware of exactly when Mima displays her emotional breakdown.
		Perfect Blue is widely known as the penultimate psychological anime thriller, and for good reason.
		Using the rise and fall of a pop starlet as background for a genuinely shocking thriller was a wonderful decision on the scriptwriter's side, and Kon Satoshi adds his special director's touch by playing with different narrative perspectives.

		Based on a novel by Yoshikazu Takeuchi, 'Perfect Blue' is one of those anime that successfully attempt the unexpected.
		Perfect Blue is notable in that it does not fit in any of those well-trod genres.
		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.

	Anime Boredom - Perfect Blue anime reviews
		It does, however, include some blood and nudity, but not to the extent to gross out the viewer, these themes are used to enhance the each situation and are stomach churning (try keeping still during the rape scene, it's not nice).
		Perfect Blue is set around Mima, a pop idol who's career change to actress takes a turn for the worst.
		The quite disturbing rape is the cue for disaster, yet during the cut and the attacker (stuck above Mima) apologises for his caught fly during the scene which enables the viewer to determine between what is real and what is fantasy.

	Perfect Blue . Austin Chronicle . 11-15-99
		Then it struck me: Perfect Blue is almost note-for-note an anime version of some of Italian director Dario Argento's more obscure giallo thrillers, and bears more than a passing nod to that director's most recent film, The Stendahl Syndrome (which recently played in Austin).
		Where Perfect Blue succeeds, then, is in its smart, disorienting depiction of a girl on the edge of madness.
		Contemporary adult themes that resonate as much as those in Perfect Blue (stalking, the cult of celebrity) have become increasingly rare in this animated genre better known for tentacled demons and cute forest sprites; it's refreshing to be reminded that not everything in anime need feature that lovable scamp Pikachu, either.

		I first read of Perfect Blue in an advertisement for a showing at the now-closed UC theatre which called it "Hitchcockian." I thought at the time that this what quite a billing for a piece of Japanese animation to live up to, considering the relative disdain that medium has for intricately crafted storytelling.
		Happily, Perfect Blue is based on a Japanese novel and the director Satoshi Kon masterfully moves us through the increasing horror of the heroine's life.
		The story definitely heads some places that weren't obvious to me, and the result is the best animated film from Japan (outside of the works of Hiyao Miyazaki, director of Princess Mononoke and Sprited Away) for several years.

		After a bit of a delay from the release of the VHS versions, Perfect Blue has finally reached the DVD crowd, and many people are getting their first glimpse at a true anime masterpiece.
		There's a nice "In the studio" segment with the three voice actresses for Cham recording a song as well as an English version of the Cham theme with just a static backdrop.

		Then there was the 1998 anime version of Perfect Blue by director Kon Satoshi whose progressive style of anime caught both audiences and critics by suprise.
		When rumor of a possible live-action version of Perfect Blue emerged, it was assumed that it would somehow attempt to mimic or expand upon its very popular anime predecessor.
		Instead we are given about as much excitement as would satisfy any fame-hungry junior high girl with stars in her eyes and dreams of hollywood cameos.

		Nothing beats that feeling of elation when you see things present themselves and your left dumbfounded, not quite sure if you should believe what’s happening on the screen, then just clapping, exclaiming "Bravo!" as everything comes together in the end.
		This is exactly the case with Perfect Blue, a suspense-thriller by director Satoshi Kon, where the way the story progresses the viewer is just as left in the dark about what’s happening as the main character, and just as shocked when everything starts to come together.
		The film is about a young woman named Mima Kirigoe, who was part of a pop trio called CHAM!.
