About

Perfect Blue is a Japanese animated psychological thriller film directed by Satoshi Kon , released in 1997. It follows the story of Mima Kirigoe, a pop idol who transitions into acting, only to face a series of disturbing events that blur the lines between reality and illusion.

Observations

Across all four renders, tightly cropped female portraits are rendered as graphic comic illustrations with heavy black linework, flat color blocks, and sharply divided blue, black, peach, and red tones. Collaged panel overlaps, poster-like typography, grain, and dramatic shadow shapes give the style a retro fashion-editorial print quality.
