TIME.com: 5 Top Anime Movies on DVD -- Aug. 08, 2005: "Posted Sunday, Jul. 31, 2005
Since the 1960s, kids of all nations have enjoyed the quests and antics of Astro Boy, Robotech and their TV kin. But in its feature-film form, anime (Japanese animation) boasts a graphic artistry as potent as Disney's or Pixar's--or Goya's or Bosch's. Here, some anime for the ages.
PERFECT BLUE SATOSHI KON, 1997
A cute 'n' sexy pop singer decides to become a movie actress, then realizes she is being stalked by a fan who loves her a leetle too much. An adult thriller inspired by the giallo suspensers of Italian director Dario Argento, Perfect Blue deftly translates the live-action shock style into lurid-luscious anime visuals while mulling the notion that celebrity is a stroke of good luck punishable by death. Have creepy fun with Perfect Blue; then move on to Kon's Millennium Actress, another, gentler mix of suspense and movie lore. It's an anime tribute to live-action Japanese films, from delicate family dramas to the Godzilla epics of a devastated Tokyo.
There's more to come!!
