Rising pop star Mima has quit singing to pursue a career as an actress and model, but her fans aren't ready to see her go. Encouraged by her managers, Mima takes on a recurring role on a popular TV show, when suddenly her handlers and collaborators begin turning up murdered. Harboring feelings of guilt and haunted by visions of her former self, Mima's reality and fantasy meld into a frenzied paranoia. As her stalker closes in, in person and online, the threat he poses is more real than even Mima knows.The debut film from legendary director Satoshi Kon (Paprika) has frequently been hailed as one of the most important animated films of all time – an intense psychological thriller for the social media era.BONUS FEATURES:NEW Digital Remastered Presentation Of The FilmOriginal SD Version Of Feature (Japanese Mono Dolby Digital 2.0 With English Subtitles)NEW Lectures By Satoshi Kon FeaturetteNEW Into The Blue Featurette – New InterviewsAngel Of Your Heart Recording SessionsAngel Of Your Heart Full English VersionTheatrical Trailers And TV SpotsCast And Crew InterviewsFEATURES:Region: Region A/1Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1Number of discs: 2Rated: RestrictedStudio: Shout FactoryRun Time: 81 minutesPERFECT BLUE Review: Perfect blue box set - Was well worth the money come on time Review: One of my favourite anime movies, now given the HD treatment. - Enough people have talked about the content of Perfect Blue itself, so I'll refrain from that to a certain degree and concentrate mostly on the Blu-ray release. Needless to say though, Perfect Blue is one of the most intense psychological thrillers I've seen (anime or otherwise), and is the first film by the late great Satoshi Kon. Many of its elements were used by Darren Aronofsky in his films Requiem for a Dream and Black Swan. For those unfamiliar with Kon's work, he was also responsible for Paprika (which Inception pretty much ripped off wholesale, albeit with less nuance and a lot more hand holding), Tokyo Godfathers (a sweet modern day Christmas story), Millennium Actress, and the weird and wonderful Paranoia Agent. Now, onto the Blu-ray. Simply put, Perfect Blue has never looked this good before. The animation is obviously of its time as it was made in 1997 and not given the typical budget of an anime feature film, but it has nevertheless cleaned up impressively well. Having watched it on a 42 inch 1080p display I can confirm that it looks much, much better than the DVD release from 2000. As far as audio goes, this version has been furnished with the lossless Japanese tracks, however if you are after the English dub, I have heard that due to the originals being lost, the English dub track is lossy. I do not personally have an interest in the dub, but if this bothers you I give you my condolences, but unfortunately it was not something Anime Limited could do anything about, as the loss of the dub was the fault of the Japanese licensor, and not anything to do with the guys on our end in the UK. The special features on disc are much the same as they were on the initial DVD release from 2000, with interviews with several actors from both the English and Japanese tracks, as well as an interview with the director himself, along with footage from recording sessions. It should be noted that these are presented in 480i like the ones on the DVD, as unlike the movie they have not been remastered. As far as packaging and presentation go, the version I have is the limited edition steelbook released in 2016 (although I am aware there is both an original collector's and a standard edition). so that is the one I am going to be reviewing here. I wasn't sure how to feel about the artwork for the steelbook when looking at it on the site, and all I can say is that it looks really, really good when you have it in your hands. As far as the contents go it is simple, simply containing the disc and also several art cards which were included in the original collector's edition. It does fall into the trap that the majority of steelbooks have, in that the disc can be very hard to remove, but I am not going to deduct a star for that since it is pretty much the case with all steelbooks. Obviously the comments I have made on the Blu-ray itself apply to all three editions. All in all if you are already a fan of Perfect Blue then I would strongly implore you to take the plunge and upgrade to the HD version, as quite honestly, this is the best Perfect Blue is ever gonna look, and the fact we have been given the option to have it at all by the lovely people at Anime Limited is almost a miracle in itself. As of the time of writing the standard edition Blu-ray can be bought for a mere £15, so I would suggest to anyone, whether they are a longtime fan looking for an upgrade, or an intrigued newcomer, to buy this edition while you can, because as many anime collectors know, sometimes stuff can go out of print with little warning ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07L5DTDLG | | Actors | Junko Iwao, Rica Matsumoto, Shinpachi Tsuji | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 - 1.85:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 69,213 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 2,060 in Anime (DVD & Blu-ray) 22,720 in Blu-ray | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (2,645) | | Director | Satoshi Kon | | Dubbed: | English | | Item model number | hd13 | | Language | Japanese (Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono) | | Media Format | NTSC, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 2 | | Product Dimensions | 1.78 x 19.05 x 13.72 cm; 91 g | | Rated | Universal, suitable for all | | Studio | Shout!
