Warning : The following post contains nudity/adult content.

The debut work of late anime director Kon Satoshi, Perfect Blue is a tight suspense thriller capped with a shocking ending that secured Kon’s place in the anime industry as a rising director of superb talent. Perfect Blue marked the start Kon Satoshi’s relatively short but brilliant career that saw him create such great pieces of animated cinema, namely Tokyo Godfathers, Millenium Actress and Paprika.

This storyboard book ( published in Aug 2019 ) is new edition of the out of print 2015 version, which came in a bigger print size. The decision to release the book in a smaller format ( A5 size ) is probably to maintain consistency with the storyboard books of Satoshi Kon’s three other films, namely Tokyo Godfathers, Millenium Actress and Paprika, which are all A5 size as well.

As far as content is concerned, the material covered seems similar to the 2015 version, which includes the full storyboards for the film, omitted cuts, some colored illustrations and character designs sheets as well as layouts. There are also some staff interviews ( in Japanese ) included at the end of the book.

The release of this book is sure to please Satoshi Kon fans as the older 2015 edition is out of print, and this new format also mean you can finally display the 4 storyboard books nicely on a bookshelf. The lower price tag is a plus too. Recommended.
