I've just posted Martin Butler's review of Perfect Blue, Satoshi Kon's break through psychological thriller that was released on UK DVD by Manga Ent. a few years ago.<ul><span class="menu">"Overall, this is a cleverly-written if occasionally confusing analysis on the costs and consequences of fame and stardom. If anything can disprove the myth that animation cannot be ‘grown-up’ and intelligent, ‘Perfect Blue’ is just that. A likeable heroine, fluid and crisp animation and genuine shocks and plot twists make this film very much out of the ordinary and well worth watching."</span></ul><a href="http://www.animeuknews.net/viewreview.php?showreview=107">Read full review.</a>
 
One of the first anime movies I saw: its gripping stuff, inteligently made, at times twisted and harrowing. I agree, its definitley a film to show skeptics that anime can be mature and grown up.
