Perfect Blue (パーフェクトブルー, Pāfekuto Burū) is a 1998 feature-length anime film, directed by Satoshi Kon (loosely based on the novel of the same name by Yoshikazu Takeuchi). The film is a psychological thriller about Mima Kirigoe, a member of a Japanese pop-idol group called "CHAM!", who decides to pursue her career as an actress. Some of her fans are displeased with her sudden career change, particularly the stalker named Me-Mania. As her new career proceeds, Mima's world becomes increasingly reminiscent of the works of Alfred Hitchcock, David Lynch and Philip K. Dick: reality and fantasy spiral out of control, and Mima discovers that Me-Mania is the least of her troubles.

Post Re: Perfect Blue
This was the last of Satoshi Kon's films I needed to watch, and it turned out to be my least favorite. I really enjoyed the film however, and really would like to watch it again a few times. If anyone is interested in the film, please avoid the english dub. Only Mima's dub is "decent", the rest blow, and the overall sound just feels... murky or something.

8/10

I watched the Japanese dub and I don't understand why this doesn't receive more praise, I thought it was brilliant and everything fits together so nicely. It's what CSI wants to be.
