A great classic from the 90's. - I watched this for the first time after seeing a brief trailer recently for a re-screening that will show later this year in movie theaters. Compared to most other modern day anime films I have seen, this one felt very unique and dark, much different than anything I have seen in the last 15-20 years in terms of storytelling and mood. One of the first times the main character starts to hallucinate and see a figure felt strangely real, and how they reacted to it and was one of the more memorable scenes in the movie for me. Realizing this is a horror movie anime film, it puts things into perspective more, but still the overall movie was unique and felt much different than anything else modern I have seen. The only other movies I am familiar with from the 90's were the "Ghost in the Shell" movies (and some Gundam/Pokemon TV series although those I consider much different), so I wanted to watch this one for some time but never got around to it, so I am glad this was available to rent! There's something about these anime films from the 90's that were very unique, besides the animation style of the 90s, more recent films or shows don't seem to have this layer of depth to the story with them, although a lot of them are still quite good I feel. I'm glad I watched this although many of the scenes were quite disturbing/uncomfortable, this might be part of the appeal of this era from the 90's as again, this was a horror title of this era and didn't seem to be done that frequently in this medium of Anime. The ending was very shocking and I will have to think about it some more and read up on it, I was not expecting it so it had more of an impact this way I think. I like the Pop song from the idol group in the beginning, part of what made me want to watch this film was a brief excerpt from the trailer of the song I saw on youtube recently for a re-screen of the film later this year. If you like anime movies but want to try something a bit darker/disturbing of a storyline, give this movie a watch. Although be aware ahead of time of what you are getting into. Review: Mesmerising - A must see! This film is a true work of art, it's beautiful to look at and delves deep into the human mind. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00000JL42 | | Actors | Junko Iwao, Masaaki kura, Rica Matsumoto, Shinpachi Tsuji, Ysuke Akimoto | | Aspect Ratio | 1.85:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #54,114 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #846 in Anime (Movies & TV) #2,632 in Mystery & Thrillers (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (6,882) | | Director | Satoshi Kon | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 5.1), Japanese (Dolby Digital 5.1) | | MPAA rating | Unrated (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Animated, Color, DVD, Dolby, Full Screen, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 7.5 x 5 x 0.75 inches; 4 ounces | | Release date | May 2, 2000 | | Run time | 1 hour and 21 minutes | | Studio | Manga Video | | Subtitles: | English | | Writers | Sadayuki Murai, Yoshikazu Takeuchi | ## Product Details - **Color:** Color - **Format:** Animated, Color, DVD, Dolby, Full Screen, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen - **Language:** English, Japanese - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 21 minutes ## Images ![Perfect Blue [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71aueOmU7SL.jpg) ![Perfect Blue [DVD] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71toxWaaeOL.jpg) ![Perfect Blue [DVD] - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51mUleXlqLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dark, IMO very different from most other modern day Anime. A great classic from the 90's. *by C***S on September 15, 2025* I watched this for the first time after seeing a brief trailer recently for a re-screening that will show later this year in movie theaters.

This film is a true work of art, it's beautiful to look at and delves deep into the human mind. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ANOTHER SATOSHI KON MASTERPIECE *by P***N on March 21, 2020* You know you've entered a powerful world when you suddenly realize you've forgotten that what you're watching is nothing but ink and paint. But, oh my god, what this master of animation does with mere ink and paint is absolutely breathtaking. At first, you believe you're watching just some silly, brainless, pop-culture fluff. And, yes, it is showing you what that culture is like. But almost at the same moment, you become aware of a deep, very dark and twisted level of human depravity and pain. The strangest part of this film is that the director/writer makes you feel sympathy with the worst of the characters he draws for you. Not at first, of course. At first, you are thoroughly repulsed and sickened by these people. But slowly, as you watch what they do and how and why they think as they do, you cannot help but feel a twinge of compassion. They are just as much victims of an ugly, twisted system as those who are openly exploited. I was under the mistaken belief that this turned out to be the last film made by Satoshi Kon, the creator who made Millennium Actress and Tokyo Godfathers, besides other impressive films. In fact, Millennium Actress, from 2019(?), was, I believe, his last film. These all are outstanding works of art, not just "cartoons". You get the feeling with his work that had he the funds, he would certainly have made live-action versions of his stories. But, budgets being what they are, he had to settle for anime. Still, his work is just as masterful and important as anything coming out of Ghibli. It's just a shame that this man had to die so young. I suspect we've been robbed of some truly unique and powerful films. Oh, well. That's life -- such as it is. Again, I must emphasize that this film is rather deceptively simple. By the time you've gotten half-way through the story, you are absolutely hooked. Several times, I was rather surprised to realize that my mouth was open in shock at what I was seeing. The power of the sound and images he created is simply overwhelming. You quickly forget that you're watching a film; you are pulled, intellectually, emotionally, totally, into the story this man is telling. And even though the scenes you witness seem to be exploitative, the truth is that he is actually showing you exactly how the entertainment industry exploits the people it sucks into its web. I'm certain he intended this to be an indictment of the Japanese entertainment industry. But we all know that the world-wide entertainment industry operates along the very same lines. In fact, truth be known, it is far, far worse than any of us suspect. Only recently have some brave individuals been able to come out publicly and reveal just how perverse this industry truly is. Yes, we have whistle-blowers in every industry. But the entertainment industry operates at a truly depraved level of exploitation only recently being revealed. Fascinating how this anime director, twenty-some years ago seemed to be one of the first to sound the alarm. Sad, of course, how no one was really listening. ## Frequently Bought Together - Perfect Blue [DVD] - Paprika - Ghost in the Shell (Special Edition) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/2391423-perfect-blue-dvd](https://www.desertcart.be/products/2391423-perfect-blue-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
