I always wonder about animated movies. Somewhere, someone came home to their spouse and kids and when they asked, "What did you do at work today?" they had to lie because they spent all day drawing a closeup of an exposed female crotch. I really liked the deterioration of reality that takes place which means it's time for my annual recommendation of Uncle Kent 2. Nobody's listening.

Perfect Blue is an intriguing yet terrifying dive into maturity, identity, and the dangers of becoming a pop culture figure. We see our main character mentally deteriorate as scenes bleed into other scenes making the experience like a break-less exercise, showing what great editing can really do to a film. The line between reality and fantasy is blurred to such an extreme that I began to wonder how much, if anything, of what I was seeing was real, only adding to the anxiety-inducing atmosphere.

A big wtf and the story keeps you committed to Mima til the end. Can see certain elements Black Swan ripped from here - a great psycho-thriller.

Not a lot of things are actually animated in this animated movie which I am more than willing to forgive: the same budget issues that were to blame for this, led to the most impressive example of reusing of footage that I've ever seen. An attempt to confuse with this segment succeeded with only benefits for the plot and suspense of that very well directed movie. Although, the final twist and the character development can be questioned, we deal with anime after all.

Satoshi Kon's masterpiece. Second-to-none editing perfectly illustrates the main character's decaying state of mind. The unique themes of fame, identity and reality are woven into the story through the intensity, which makes this one of the greatest psychological thrillers ever made.

I'm not a huge fan of Kon's art style but the story had me hooked. Impressively prescient with regards to internet fandom and the possessive nature of idol culture in Japan (and these days Korea as well).

anime sevmeyen birisi olarak kon'un tüm işlerine bakmam gerektiğini düşündürttü. her şey dozunda, özellikle '90ların sonu 00'ların başında sıklıkla uygulanan *twist için twist* mottosu tüm şaşırtıcılığına rağmen kendisi için söylenemez. janr eğip bükücülüğü konusunda da apayrı bir noktada duruyor. net bir başyapıt.

f I feel down on Perfect Blue at all it's not because it's an ineffective thriller. In the moment, it works really well; it keeps you guessing from the second the trauma happens right up until we find out exactly what's going on. But it doesn't have a ton to chew on and its ending feels too "Hollywood" for the rest of the production. Still, it looks great and it's more than entertaining enough. It just leaves on a disappointing note and doesn't have a ton of staying power. [Full Review]
