FAP-95 Perfect Blue - It Is Worth A Second Watch

This week's choice was a good revisit for Jack and a good one that made Rick watch it twice. Following the main protag Mima and her journey through becoming a TV star from a Pop-Idol at least that is what you are lead to think at first, but then things take a twist with her manager Rumi pretending to be Mami and eventually thinking that she is Mami and killing everyone that is portraying her in a way that Rumi does not like. It even causes Mami to question her whole outlook and leaves you on the edge until it gives you a satisfactory end. And while watching it for the first run-through may make you miss a few things watching it a second time through will really bring it all together.


Next Up: The Promised Neverland Season 1
