Anime Limited has announced on its AllTheAnime website that it will release a 4K edition of Satoshi Kon's Perfect Blue film on Friday October 10, in both subtitled and English-dubbed versions. Anime Limited will also release the film as a Deluxe Edition 4K UHD Blu-ray later in 2025.
The 1997 Perfect Blue feature film was the directorial feature debut for Satoshi Kon, who went on to make Millennium Actress, Tokyo Godfathers, Paranoia Agent and Paprika before his death in 2010. Set in contemporary Tokyo, the story concerns a pop singer, Mima, who tries to develop an acting career, only to experience threats and traumas as her mind breaks down and she is tormented by a ghostly version of her singer self. Manga Entertainment previously released the film in Britain on VHS and DVD, followed by more recent Blu-ray editions from Anime Limited.
Kon based his Perfect Blue anime film on Yoshikazu Takeuchi's Perfect Blue: Complete Metamorphosis novel, which Seven Seas Entertainment shipped in February 2018. Seven Seas also shipped Takeuchi's second Perfect Blue novel, Perfect Blue: Awaken from a Dream, in April 2018.
