Filming it as a cartoon was an unnecessary gimmick. Using real actors would have sufficed for a drama. Kon ruined his own film.

Have you watched Every Frame a Painting's video on him?

why do westerners hate animation so much? It's literally just another medium to portray your story, and even has some unique advantages compared to live action.
Gavin Price
This is a bot thread but to answer your question. Animation in the west has largely been marked to and for children since the beginning so that's what normalfags associate it with. In Japan it was always just another storytelling medium for kids or adults

Who did it better:
Perfect Blue or The Fanatic?

it is competing medium, movie and tv industry knows they are inferior so they use any means necessary to destroy it, see Kyoani burning

This would be true for any country besides Japan. Nips are soulless insects who can't emulate human emotions. Their IRL acting is atrocious.
Hudson Sanchez
I don't agree. Maybe it could also work as a live action but that would probably bring down the artistic value down big time. The amazing attention to detail that goes into the environment can only really be appreciated in the animated medium.

The animated style adds a level of surrealism that live action just wouldn't be able to reach
Jaxson Jones
There was a live action version though

does it have kon's autism for transitions and surrealism though?
Henry Ward
Untrue. Early cartoons were both for children and adults. Betty Boop was definitely not for kids especially at the time. It became associated with children especially when tv took over the US.
Austin Ross
Should i watch this movie?
Nathan Murphy
It was probably cheaper for him.
Imagine trying to do a live-action Paprika
Camden Powell
Yes, it’s kino. There’s no particular reason why it had to be animated, but it works as a good mindfuck
Angel Bell
Not gonna lie, it’s a favorite
Jonathan Johnson
Imagine the chase at the end where you see the fake Mima skipping down the street but in the store windows she passes by you see her fat manager stuffed into her clothes, sweating and out of breath. Good luck getting that to look right IRL.
Adam Young
Perfect Blue is awesome though
Grayson Hughes
America has a long history of adult cartoons, such as Fritz the Cat or Heavy Metal. The main issue is today is that normies only see animation being used for comedies like family guy or Big Mouth. Things aren't looking that bad though, the new Samurai Jack season showed there's an audience for mature adult cartoons.
Cooper Gray
Perfect Blue isn’t like Fritz, Heavy Metal or Samurai jack though. It’s realistically something that could have been live action without much of a difference
Jeremiah Ramirez
What's the real ending to Perfect Blue? Was she really sane or was that imagined too? Did she really get raped in a club?
We'll never know.
