Perfect Blue

 
 Perfect Blue

This mystery/thriller anime movie should go to the top of your must-see anime list.  Lead singer and pop idol, Mimarin of Cham undergoes a career change becoming an actress.  Her acting career takes her image down a less respectable path with scandalous TV scenes, revealing photography, and other celebrity mishaps.  An obsessed fan becomes very upset at Mima's new activities and things begin going wrong very quickly.

This anime is mature, definitely R-rated because some scenes don't leave much to the imagination.  But if you're looking for an anime movie with a little more substance than Bleach or Naruto, I would definitely recommend this.  It kept me guessing the whole time and I didn't see the ending coming at all.  You can watch it instantly on Netflix, but if you are lacking in the 'Flix then you're on your own.

  1. I remember this movie getting pretty violent. That director Darren Aronofsky paid some money so that he could steal a scene for his movie Requiem for a Dream.
