Thoughts on Perfect Blue?

cartoon kino

...

Better than Black Swan, Persona, and Suspiria combined.

what the fuck was even going on?

Fantastic. Saw it on late night tv when I was 15, been a degenerate weeb ever since.

How did Kon do it? How did he create so many kinos?

Other than that one scene, there was no good reason for this to be animated, and even that was a huge stretch effects-wise.

you mean the rape?

*wasn't

...

What reason do you really need other than it's what the director wanted?

I know "Lynchian" is a meme but PB is the closest thing I've seen to a David Lynch film not directed by David Lynch.

No, the skipping doppelganger sequence.

less blue than it is perfect.

Seriously, can somebody explain to me wtf was even happening in perfect blue?

Burnout plus stalking leading to major paranoia and schizophrenia. Yeah it was a great mind fuck.

animu singers old manager hag couldnt get over her own failed career and also got pissed about girl giving up singing for acting so she hired that one ugly dude to kill animu singer turned actress and finally tried to kill her himself , finally ending up in a asylum

*to kill her herself

Yes

>Kino until the ending
I mean what the fuck, she visits her deranged manager in the crazy house, goes back to her car and sunshine K-Pop music plays. Fucking waste of a good, not just anime, film.

Conversely, Twin Peaks is the closest thing I've seen to an anime in live action.

Somehow I doubt this. The ending seems to wrap things up too cleanly, and I suspect that this might be intentional, in order to mask the layers of ambiguity that actually exist in the film.
