I've had the Perfect Blue DVD on my shelf nnow for a while. I like Manga stuff but I haven't been in the mood to watch any for ages, but last night I decided out of boredom and lack of anything else to do to watch it.
Its fantastic. Not your normal Mange fare at all, No futeristic robots, or evil Nijias, just a fantastic Psycological twisting Plot.
If you haven't seen go watch it. Even if manga isn't usually your thing. Its one of those films that makes you lose your point of reference, and leaves you with an uncomfortable feeling afterwards. Sort of a bit like 'Murder in Mind' another fantastic film.

I've had it on VHS for a number of years, but can honestly say I 've never really watched it the way it deserves to be watched because as you say, it's not your typical kind of anime film.
The trouble with a number of anime films/series, they tend to be utterly barmy and require the utmost concentration, so as a result, adjusting from normal American made tosh that we usually see on TV and at cinemas to complex anime plots is often difficult.
On another note, have you by any chance seen Spirited Away? It's a must-see film for any anime fan.

No I haven't. Is it available in any PAL/region 2 format. I don't have access to anything else.
Sadly no. There is the Japanese version, but it's mundo expensive (and has no English language on it).
Sadly the UK seems to be very slow on the uptake of this film, it's done very very well in the US (even winning the Oscar for best animated feature), and I'm pretty certain it's the highest grossing movie ever in Japan. There'll be a UK cinema run and a dvd release possibly towards the end of the year (or maybe even as late as 2004). Shame, as it's an amazing film.

It sounds like a pregnancy test.
I remember Perfect Blue. Seen it about three times now I think. Very good. Took me a little while to get the plot but I got there in the end.
Most s**t like anime and stuff like blue gender and bubblegum crisis are so bludy wacked and especially the movies like ghost in a shell I don't see how that could've inspired the making off the Matrix .the only really hectic anime that I regret not taping was Sprigaan now that movie was cool.Sometimes there are a few movies that are good and some that are just plain sh!ty.

Sorry about that My Pc acting sh!ty
Perfect Blue struck me as being very Hitchcock-like, not a bad thing at all. It suprised me at how coherent the story was compared to other Anime, but it still had touches of the Eastern story telling in it.
You have to remember that the West and East are too totally different cultures, much more different that the UK is to Europe and this puzzles or shocks some people who aren't ready for it.
Sex is thought of in a different way to the Japanese, they've grown up with a culture where it's acceptable to sleep around and sex magazines and Anime are sold the same way as regular media is.
