Looks awesome, love the packaging … will need to find one … just hate shelling out $100 for one release. Anyone have a line on one? Also, does the blu ray release have the same artwork on cover/backcover? thanks.

I recently saw a new DVD release of Perfect Blue in Australia. It claimed to have a running time of 150 minutes (which I suspect is the feature plus extras since the original film had a running time around 80 minutes). Does anybody know if this is actually some sort of “extended edition”?
Thanks for the write-up of this movie, Yonghow. It amazes me how many anime fans haven’t seen Perfect Blue or have no knowledge of Satoshi Kon. There are certain films that change a person’s perspective of cinema and Perfect Blue was one such film for me. Unlike a lot of anime which is influenced by Osamu Tezuka and Walt Disney, Perfect Blue’s major influences are Hitchcock, David Lynch, David Cronenberg and Dario Argento. I consider to be not only one of the greatest animes ever but one of the greatest films of any type.

[...] is your favorite Satoshi Kon film ? His directorial debut, the tense psychological thriller Perfect Blue; the hilarious and heartwarming Tokyo Godfathers; or the whimsical and colorful Paprika ? I like [...]

Hi, do you know if they sell the BluRay edition of this collection set? Is it worth to buy it, and does it have more bonus material that the other old US dvd?
