Fuente How are my anime fans doing? I hope you're all well. Happy New Year 2026! ❤️ It's great to start the year by fulfilling one of my main resolutions: to be more active on Hive 🫠😅. This time, I'm bringing you a review of a movie that, while certainly not my usual style of anime, I find interesting. It's a genre that has been somewhat forgotten in recent years. I'm talking about "Perfect Blue," and I hope you e…More

Acting career destroys personality of ex-pop star. Underestimating gravity of implications, she agrees on being filmed in a rape scene that traumatised her psychologically more than she could imagine. Story follows her losing sanity, showing long and tedious mental breakdown. Only her stalker understands her like no one else. Conclusion is unsatisfying. The movie confuses viewer with dreams indistinguishable from re…More

I've been eyeing several animated films by Satoshi Kon for years now, but for some reasons, I keep delaying... and now, I'm kind of regretting it. Anyway, it's never too late to watch them. :) Earlier today, I finally decided to give Perfect Blue a shot... and it was definitely my cup of tea! As a fan of the horror genre, the psychological type has always been my favorite... and this movie satiated my hunger and thi…More
Hello, #HiveCon friends. After having seen and loved Paprika , I decided that it was necessary to continue exploring the works of Satoshi Kon and I could not continue with other than Perfect Blue , his most recognized work and the first of his filmography. I must say that watching it was quite an experience, while I found Paprika a marvel, Perfect Blue is one of the most interesting films I've seen, including live-a…More

# CONTENT IN ENGLISH Hello to all anime lovers! I come to talk about a movie of the 90 that still is still cataloged as the best of his time. I had read about the Filme years ago, but recently it was that I had the opportunity to see it and I could check for myself why the movie has so much recognition. Without further preamble, I will tell you that it goes Perfect blue. Fuente The plot revolves around a girl who at…More
I guess that is only partially true, as he also directed a few episodes of the original Jojo's Bizarre Adventure OVA. But for an entire project as well as his first movie, this is where people became aware of Kon himself. I remember catching at least part of this movie when I was younger and not really liking it, I probably didn't even watch the whole thing since there was no need for me to do things like that as a…More
Source Perfect Blue is one of those cult anime that we should all see even once. It is not an easily digestible film, I mean that it is a complex film where we must pay attention to the details, the dialogues and try to elucidate what is real and what is not because in a large way this anime is surreal in many aspects. The plot itself is a fairly elaborate thriller and tells us the story of Mima Kirogie, a girl who…More
Horror movies are one thing that I've always liked, ever since I can remember I've gone out of my way to add another cheesy title to my collection. This particular collection is starting to get quite large, in fact, I'm actually running out of interesting looking horror movies to watch, and so last Summer I decided that it was time to get into something else besides scary films. I never particularly liked anime, but…More
This was an excellent psychological thriller! Perfect Blue is an animated movie from the 90s about the life of a pop idol who in order to continue progressing with her career, decides to leave her pop group and become an actress. One of the reasons I decided to watch this movie is because it was compared with the more recent Hollywood production "Black Swan". I saw the same type of comparison between "Inception" and…More
Since it’s a holiday and all, I did myself a favor and watched one of the movies sitting for a long time now in my never ending watch list and got a great treat for the occasion but it came with an even greater trick that left me with a great mind blowing experience and all of that happened within 81 minutes and 44 seconds! Without further ado, let’s get this one rolling! # Perfect Blue Genres: Dementia, Drama, Horr…More
# Czy człowiek nie pragnie tylko chwili sławy i blasku fleszy? Perfect Blue jest moim zdaniem najlepszym anime jakie powstało. Film rozpoczyna się kiedy Mirina daje koncert popowy. Fani oblegają występ chcąc więcej, jednak Mirinachce zostać aktorką, chce porzucić swoje popowe życie i stać się wielką gwiazdą Mirina, porzuca wszystko i wyjeżdża robić szybką karierę, jednak jeśli ktoś rzuca się na głęboka wodę może uto…More
