Synopsis
Mima gives up her pop idol image to pursue her talent in acting and to save her entertainment career. When she begins her small role in a murder drama, things don't go well for her. Cham finds success without her, and fans are disappointed in her career change. To please her producers, her image is changed from the clean, youthful, innocent singer to a not-so-innocent, smutty actress. A website dedicated about her reveals information about her personal life by an obviously obsessed stalker. And while the people around her are being killed one by one, she loses her grip on reality as her life spirals out of control.
Opinion
Perfect Blue is excellent. You will easily get enthralled in this movie. It differs alot from the mainstream anime we see now, and actually has a good storyline, plot, and turnout. You probably will have to watch the movie twice to catch all the details, but the end totally surprised me. The artistic perceptions ( hallucinations and other stuff I won't mention since they're spoilers:) are interesting and quite original. It's weird, like Lain, and it ain't kid's stuff. The movie contained a reasonable amount of violence, unsightly gore, and nudity that would definitely not be appropriate for people under 16 years of age.
Conclusion
Buy it...now. A valued keeper in your small collection of good anime movies.
