| i think its overrated af i mean it does a decent job but thats it its a bad attempt at trying to be some kind of psychological masterpiece in my opinion personally i couldn't enjoy it and was bored with it every second |
| That rape scene was a bit too long but I guess that point was the point. Even if it's just acting it's still disturbing as fuck |

| Idk, it was a pretty good movie but it's definitely my least favorite of Kon's works. Probably because I watched so many mindfuck movies playing around with reality and imagination when I was a teen (stuff like existenZ, Dark City, Brazil, The Machinist, Vanilla Sky, Donnie Darko, Fight Club, The Jacket and many, many more. I really went hard on that subgenre when I was young) that it just felt like 'another one of those' movies once I saw it. Still a solid one, but I was just so familiar with those kind of narratives and twists at that point that it didn't leave much of an impression. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

The user has a character from fate stay trash, one of the worst anime franchises ever. It's at times like these that we don't let half-breeds think they have an opinion. Just let the elitists continue to hate shows that are genuinely good for the sake of attracting attention to their meaningless lives :D.....But yeah I loved Perfect Blue, great psychosis themes all around. oh so people cant disagree now? also very nice tone thanks for being such a nice person Bungie_gum said: Daphi said: i think its overrated af i mean it does a decent job but thats it its a bad attempt at trying to be some kind of psychological masterpiece in my opinion personally i couldn't enjoy it and was bored with it every second This is interesting to me because I was absolutely captivated from the start. What was it that turned you off from it. Was it the convoluted story? I've watched the movie multiple times, and I still can't determine who's psychosis we are viewing and when. However, I think that's the point. Each scene could be real, a tv show, or one of multiple people's hallucinations. The suspense in almost every scene is so intense, its uncomfortable. Can you give me some details as to why you hated it, other than being bored. yea thats part of it, it tries to hard and is way too vague in the display of psychosis of multiple characters, but i was overall just not a fan of the plot the characters were without any substance at all and some of their decisions were just plain retarded(mind me before they developed mental issues) overall it also made me feel uncomfortable throughout and at the end i just didn't feel like i had experienced a journey after the movie, i couldn't tell apart reality from illusion and i was left thinking about why the hell i watched it maybe it did a good job at what it intended to do, but it just went against what i want from a movie |

| Lolicons are scum. BABYMETAL is more metal than Metallica. Naruto is objectively the best anime ever. HxH 99' is decent. HxH 11' is bad. |
| It's a good movie overall but its something on the 7 to 8 range of my rating system it's not a masterpiece like some people might think, I think Satoshi Kun explores well the sickness ingrained in our minds by Hollywood and many other types of media. |

| It's quite good but I was bored a little in the middle.. It is at least unique, especially in anime world.. I think I rated it 8/10 (Very Good) ... |

| I think it's an amazing piece of work, because anything done by Satoshi Kon is great. |

| I personally found it great, it's a really good movie. |

I've seen a bit of that doc Ricardo made of himself and it's just sad, it's like he was thought he was being perfectly rational.Esquirtit said: That rape scene was a bit too long but I guess that point was the point. Even if it's just acting it's still disturbing as fuck That scene and the creepy photographer that got his models to pose nude are kind of the reason that obsessed fan went all psycho and homicidal. It happened in real life to Bjork. A guy named Ricardo Lopez found out she was dating a black guy, then he went nuts, videoed his entire descent into madness, mailed her a bomb, and then killed himself. Perfect Blue and the Movie Taxi Driver are the best depictions of this type of madness I've ever seen. I need to rewatch Taxi Driver, only seen it once with my dad when I was 12 lol |

| It's average, there's nothing to hate but at the same thing nothing that I loved. Honestly got bored pretty fast though. |
| I don't think it's Kon's best film (I think Millennium Actress is better) nor do I think it's Kon's most creative film (Paprika has it beat) but it is my favourite of his films. I love me a good psychological and this anime really builds up tension and atmosphere well. The second half also uses Kon's signature blurring of reality and fantasy incredibly well - even more so than his other films. On a narrative standpoint it's probably to slow paced and confusing but I think it nailed the thematic component very well. 9/10. |

| Loved it. Paranoia, delusions and a dreamlike air are cooked up with an array of tension and creepy visuals. |
| I think it was a great movie and I decided to rewatch it this year, because I need to refresh some ideas I had watching it, but I definately enjoyed it. i'm not familiar with Satoshi Kon, I think it is the only movie I saw from him (but I'm looking forward to Tokyo Godfathers, Paprika and Paranoia Agent), but it disturbed me, especially the ending when the second Mima was Rumi, and in the crystals you could see her real shape. I gave it a 9 / 10 and it is a hell of a movie. |
| It's decent but not a masterpiece. |
| It's my second favorite film of all time, after The Shining. Nearly flawless in execution on every front, and I've seen way to many psychological thrillers for my own good. I remember the first time I saw it, I was so floored by the last act of the movie that I ended up rewatching it the very next day. |

| I liked it a lot, I got the chills while watching it honestly. The animation and visuals are probably my favorite thing about it. There’s a lot of memorable scenes and visuals, I like the use of color. An example is this, probably one of my favorite screenshots I have from the movie |

| I think that it's rank should be higher to be honest. |
| Never into it much. I gave it a 5 out of 10. I have seen stuff get more done in far more subtle ways, and I have seen more psychotic, mind and soul bending things that were more meaningful and impactful. Perhaps I need to rewatch it one day...but I dont care to. |
| I loved it. The blend of reality with acting was interesting, confusing, and tense, and I really didn't know what was going on (and who did it) until the reveal at the end when everything clicked together (and then the other reveal at the very end that made things click together even more). Maybe the best look at psychosis I've seen- Kon really put this one together well. |
| Honestly its a very chilling movie, the whiplash between perspectives along with ending just make it so enjoyable to look a bit deeper than a surface level viewing. One of the best psychological thrillers I've seen even comparing it to live action films as well. Its a mindf*** but thats what makes it fun if you are into that sort of thing. |

| Perfect Blue is one of the greatest anime movies I've ever watched to be honest. I'm really intrigued by how the movie simultaneously managed to be so disturbing and so entertaining. Moreover, the topics that are tackled in Perfect Blue are still extremely relevant to our society to this day. That's just absolutely spectacular, isn't it? Despite being his first work, Satoshi Kan's direction in Perfect Blue is highly impressive to say the least. The animation is great, and although the soundtrack isn't the best, it's certainly befitting to the ominous atmosphere of the movie. Overall, Perfect Blue is a perfect 10/10 for me. |
