You're nobody until you've experienced the Perfect Blue. ;)
This is a completely psychedelic, mesmerizing trip. It's like letting your mind travel barefoot through broken glass. Better put a sock on it, any misstep might thrust you over that jagged edge of sanity.
So what is Perfect Blue?
It's a delusional journey across a tightrope dangling vicariously over the cusp of psychological ineptitude, an evocative swandive into the bottomless pit of your subconscious predeliction. Just a vortex of the surreal fused haphazardly with fragments of reality, all simultaneously trickling down your cognitive pipeline and overloading the inner workings of your perceptive circuitry.
So, in other words, it's hard to explain...
The plot starts off simple enough--the beautiful Mima walks away from her life as a quasi-pop star in order to pursue an acting career. She lands a role in a series filled with murder, sex, and mystery.
But, problems quickly emerge as Mima seems to bring work home with her. As this heightened drama spills over into her regular life, reality becomes superimposed by hallucinations and nightmarish visions. Absolute craziness! It becomes challenging trying to decipher between what's real and what's merely an illusion.
I suspect that many will dismiss this as just overstylized, incoherent storytelling. It doesn't have your standard plot elements or structural developments. It's definitely not for everyone.
But I loved it! I think Perfect Blue is a visionary piece of art. Exciting, challenging, and very entertaining. It's an anime melding of Mulholland Dr, Peeping Tom, Fight Club, Psycho, & Memento. Just Awesome.
