Perfect blue is the perfect psychological horror, giving insights to the perils of being notable or famous. Being stalked and almost murdered to the point of seeing visions is mortifying and this movie gets that point across rather eloquently
Stefan likedPerfect BlueFiling this under good movies I’d never want to watch again Unexpectedly disturbing, there’s this oppressive atmosphere that permeates through the entire film, and fills you with paranoia leaving you questioning what’s real and what’s not.

Daria lovedPerfect Blueneed to rewatch it “-idk anything about myself anymore. -how do u think u know that person u were a second ago is the same person u are now? a continuous stream of memories. given on that we all create illusions within ourselves saying that we each have only one fixed persona.”⬇️
Ania Ziemkiewicz likedPerfect BlueI’m so traumatized after watching this. Probably the most disturbing animated film I’ve ever watched. Can i say that i disliked this movie? Nahhh. it was actually really good

A chilling and disturbing anime classic, there’s something about the animation style, colour grading and soundtrack that really get under my skin

Metacritic
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.
Marc Savlov
Austin Chronicle
This engrossing animated thriller (2000) somehow displays realist gore, nudity, and sexual violence in a tone not too far from that of a children’s adventure; its innocence stems in part from the convincing naivete of the heroine.
Lisa Alspector
Chicago Reader
Strange, stylish and intelligent, this is a rare anime film that delivers on its Eastern promise.
