Perfect Blue is an influential and well-received work that came out around 25 years ago in 1998. Madhouse produced it, and the late Satoshi Kon (Paprika, Paranoia Agent) directed it. It follows the story of Mima Kirigoe, a former J-pop idol who left her group in order to become an actress. A stalker begins to pursue Mima, which, combined with other stressors in her professional life, causes Mima to suffer from psychosis. People around Mima then start getting murdered, and Mima realizes that she’s the prime suspect.
The Perfect Blue Blu-Rays will come out on February 28, 2025.
