This is one of my favourite movies, animated or otherwise.  At it's core Perfect Blue is a tight psychological thriller, but there are also elements of an experimental and thorough mindfuck, a critique of the idol industry and general sexism in society, and perhaps most importantly a human story about ambition and exploitation.  There are tons of unexpected turns in the plot, and even after the movie ends you'll be wondering what exactly happened.  Highly recommended.
