The feeling I had watching Perfect Blue was so similar to A Kite that I was surprised nobody made this recommendation yet. Even tho A Kite is listed as a hentai because of its explicit sexual content, it is actually a psychological horror story with an atmosphere very similar to perfect blue. It is also about a girl forced to do something she doesn't really like, which then has to face dangerous situations involving people close to her. Both are stacked with murder. A kite has more gore and more sexual content, while Perfect Blue staggers with the psychological trauma of the lead character.
Sure, it may be an odd recommendation, but Perfect Blue and Kite have a connection in characters being entangled in unholy situations, to the point where such come against their wills despite the efforts they can give forward.
Perfect Blue does this with a stalker and hallucinations, a case of a mental attack. Kite does this with sexual moments and other disturbing elements, a case of physical attack.
Both are pretty good in their respective genres, and something that deserves at the very least a try, more so for Kite than PB.
