Hotsuma's Reviews: Perfect Blue

[~~~~Closed~~~~]

This is some fucked up shit right here...
Prefect Blue starts out when japanese pop-idol Mima is backstage preparing for her last concert. but right from the get go, things start getting funky when  she quits her singing career and starts out as an actress. not only does a creepy security gaurd start stalking her (with the help of herself) but her manager also recieves a letter bomb which nearly removes his hands. things get worse when she discovers a web site devoted to her, one that knows everything about her. the shit hits the fan, alot. and after hitting it so much that it gums up the gears, she begins to mentally collapse. I would go further into detail...but that would defeat the purpose of seeing the movie now wouldn't it? Perfect Blue is purely awseome. in short though it's a schitzophrenic, spooky, bloody, movie. with some gratuitous skin thrown in there.
4/5

Here is an anime you should never watch:

Key: the Metal Idol


Ok, so here you have a pop-star anime series with a main-character who has all the charm of the robot from Little Wonder... thats because she is the most stereotypical automoton ever to grace the animated screen. Get the premise of the show: Key (the robot pop-star wannabe) has to move to Tokyo because her creator died, and she needs to make 30,000 friends to become human.

Does it make sense? no.
Is the animation any good? no.
Insightful/witty dialogue? no.
A relevant point that you cant see coming from a mile away? no.
Suspension of disbelief? no.
Pathos for the characters? no.[/list:u]
Seriously, if you were thinking about renting Key: the Metal Idol (or eris-forbid, buying the whole series with your next pay check) up-your-dosage and watch Perfect Blue instead.

from the sounds of it, the metal Idol gets a 1, out of 5.

ANIME REVIEW:

Pokemon: best episode evaR

[StarFish]

Perfect Blue is one of my all time favorite movies. I got it real cheap (cuz my friend worked for hastings and used her discount) The animation maybe isn't the best in the world but the plot more then makes up for it. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time I watched it trying to figure out what was going on and how it was going to end and I was so suprised by the ending! So yesh, everyone should at least rent it, even if you don't like anime.

But I still have the chant "Key roboto, robot Key!" stuck in my head.  Plus the thing with the rock salt shotgun was way cool.

Perfect Blue just plain creeped me out.
