Let me just start off by saying “wow. When my neighbor recommended this movie to me, I had know idea I was going to be seeing what I saw in Perfect Blue. Easily one of my all-time favorites, and I only have about 12 of them.

First off, the title, “Perfect Blue” is actually part of some saying. The whole saying itself is, “The color of illusion is perfect blue”. Kinda strange, I know, but this movie takes the words “strange” and “freaky” to a whole new height.

The film centers around Mima Kirigoe, an ex-pop singer, who aspires to become an actress. After a seemingly successful debut, things start to get a little hairy, and people close to Mima are turning up dead, or….are they. A lot of weird stuff goes down, and when you reach the final 15 minutes of the movie, you’ll really begin to wonder who’s really behind everything. And what’s with Mima seeing these….illusions?

It’s only right that I warn you guys. This movie is extreme in a number of ways. First off, the cussing: Although there isn’t very much at all, what is said is enough to make one cringe. Nothing gross, mind you, but watch for an early f-bomb or two. Secondly, the violence is off the charts, this is the only chick-flick I would pay money to go see! Which leads me to the third warning: There isn’t just nudity in this movie, there’s FULL FRONTAL nudity, albeit it comes in flashes. There is also a really detailed rape scene, even though its part of a show within the movie.

2wo’s MATURE CONTENT RATING!

This movie was made with adults in mind, so watch it with a mature miind. I didn’t, I kinda freaked, but that’s another story.

Here’s my official grade for the spectacular Perfect Blue:

Story: B+

Animation: A+

V.A. (English Dubbed): A-

Overall: A
