3.5/4  Perfect Blue Quick Review
This is Hitchcock by way of animation. Dark and sordid - where reality and fantasy become harder and harder to separate - this is a cartoon, but it's not for kids. Adults, however, should find this satisfying.

5/5 Worth seeing

A dark story with psychological twist in it. Well done for an anime, but not for children. Adult themes and violence. Enjoyed the movie, it constantly makes you evaluate if the main character is in reality or fantasy.

4/5 I have no idea what the other reviewer is complaining about!

I have no idea what you are complaining about! This movie is perfect, and the voice dubbing is wonderful. Remember, the dubbing of Japanese voice-over is terrible, and Americans are the 'movie-makers' not the other way around. Leave the Japanese Videogames to the Japanese, and American movies and production to us Americans.

I thought the overall production of this movie was fantastic! 4 stars only because no special features. But overall, very good!

2/5 Try again, Manga.

This is the UMD version of Perfect Blue (I have no idea why Amazon has it listed in such an oblique fashion.) Anyway--look, Manga, I appreciate you releasing stuff like this in the UMD format. But it's absolutely unforgivable to release a prominent anime film with an English dub only. There's no technical reason to do it this way. We know from your Perfect Blue DVD release that you have access to both tracks. Even the copy of freaking Godzilla: Final Wars I have on UMD has both Japanese and English tracks. Why do it this way? I don't get it. Anyway, avoid unless you're unbothered by sterile English dubs.
