One Of The Best ’90s Anime Films Is Coming To 4K Blu-Ray

As a huge fan of *Perfect Blue*, I’m so excited to hear that this incredible anime film is finally getting a 4K Blu-ray release! It’s seriously one of the best from the late 90s, and this Collector’s Edition, launching December 23rd, sounds amazing – it comes with the film, special features, and cool extras celebrating its unique animation. I just checked, and you can pre-order it on Amazon right now, and it’s even on sale for only $79 – that’s over 20% off the usual price of $100! Definitely grabbing a copy.

Perfect Blue Collector’s Edition 4k Blu-ray Bonus Materials

• Complete 117 minutes of lectures by director Satoshi Kon, subtitled in English
• Perfect Blue promotional video edited by Satoshi Kon
• Angel of Your Heart recording session and full English version
• Cast and crew interviews

Perfect Blue, the first film directed by the acclaimed Satoshi Kon (known for works like Paprika and Tokyo Godfathers), plunges viewers into the intense and competitive world of Japanese entertainment. The story centers on Mima Kirigoe, a former pop star trying to become a serious actress. However, her new career quickly descends into a terrifying ordeal filled with dangerous fans and shocking crimes. Released in 1997, the film was immediately praised by critics and remains a landmark anime, celebrated for its insightful commentary on celebrity culture and stunning visuals.

The new Collector’s Edition marks the first time ‘Perfect Blue’ will be released on 4K Blu-ray. However, the film has been available on standard Blu-ray for a while now, if you’re eager to watch it and don’t want to wait or spend as much. You can currently find a Limited Edition Steelbook Blu-ray + DVD bundle on Amazon for $25.18. Keep in mind that this version won’t have the 4K picture quality or the translated lectures, but it’s a great, budget-friendly option.

Though Satoshi Kon’s anime career was cut short by his death in 2010, he created a small number of films and series that are now considered classics. His 2001 film, Millennium Actress, offers a glimpse behind the scenes of the movie industry. Tokyo Godfathers, a highly praised film, tells the story of three homeless individuals who find an abandoned baby on Christmas Eve. In 2006, he released Paprika, a mind-bending science fiction movie that has influenced many prominent Hollywood directors. In between films, Satoshi also created the anime series Paranoia Agent, a 2004 psychological thriller. You can find these and other works on Blu-ray – see the list below.
