Mima, who is a pop singer, eventually retires and enters the word of film acting. However, when Mima starts her new career, she is stalked by an angry fan of hers and a series of bizarre events begin to happen.

This film portrays the consequences of fame in a rather extreme matter: we see Mima slowly become insane when she has hallucinations, forgetting her true self, suffering from a lot of paranoia and more.

I crave for animes that really do make you think and this one is definitely one of them. It's violent, it's scary, it's disturbing, it's mind f!@#ing and is also needed to be seen more than once. PERFECT BLUE is awesome!

There are monsters destroying the world, whom of which are known as Angels. However, a secret organisation known as NERV, located in New-Tokyo has the ability to destroy the Angels with giant robots, known as Evangelions, that are piloted by teenagers. The main character in this anime is Shinji Ikari, who is a very shy, emotionally weak and lonely teenager and is forced to pilot an Evangelion in order to save the world from total destruction.

Because of the first few episodes, it will make this anime look like another clichéd giant robots versus evil forces thing, but it's not a clichéd one. This one is extremely different, after each episode you see, the deeper this show gets; it will become more philosophical, psychological and the characters will turn into people who you can care for. And a lot of the music in this cartoon is so haunting, that it's beautiful and some of the cover versions of the song 'Fly Me to the Moon' are really good, which are heard in each ending credits sequence.

However, one of the only things I didn't like about this anime was some of the animation, which went a bit dull at times and the last two episodes, which didn't properly wrap up this fantastic saga, but thankfully it was perfectly (I repeat, 'perfectly') ended with the movie NEON GENESIS EVANGELION: THE END OF EVANGELION.

This anime is an anime I'll never forget. With a thanks to NEON GENESIS EVANGELION, it has made me in love with anime ever since.

This is the official ending for the saga, meaning the last two episodes weren't after the mass disappointment from many of the fans of the NEON GENESIS EVANGELION TV series. This time, we now take-off where episode 24 left us, where we find Shinji in a traumatised state after killing the final Angel and Asuka in a coma. The soldiers of SEELE and the 9 new Eva units created by SEELE have been sent to attack NERV, whilst Gendou Ikari tries to bring Third Impact into the world with the help of Rei. Nothing is able to stop Third Impact, except for mankind's only hope, which is in the hands of the disturbed Shinji Ikari so he can bring an end to the destruction. Can Shinji save the world in the final battle of mankind or will the world be turned back to nothing? When I saw this, I was blown away. It was absolutely impossible for me to look away from the screen, even after sitting through the end credits, I was just sitting there with tears rolling down my cheeks and thinking of nothing, except for what I just saw. It was also really hard to put the DVD back in its case after finishing the NEON GENESIS EVANGELION saga with this film. It was so sad to see the series end like this, yet it was so good to see the series end like this. The soundtrack was even more haunting than any of the songs played in the TV series, especially songs like 'Komm, Susser Tod' and 'Thanatos - If I Can't be Yours'. The dialogue was excellent, including the conversations between Shinji and the people he cared for. The battle scene between Asuka and SEELE's 9 Eva units is very bloody but beautiful as well (sorry to sound like psycho). It was also really sad (for the EVANGELION fans that is) to see a lot of the characters who we got know and care for a long time in the TV series, see them for the last time on the screen.

This film can really make you ask questions to yourself like 'will we be reborn after we die?', 'would everything be better if humanity ended and then reborn?', 'is destruction really a bad thing?' etc.

NEON GENESIS EVANGELION: THE END OF EVANGELION is without a doubt, the deepest film I've ever seen and probably ever will see and thankfully there is not going to be a sequel to this film, and that's the way it should be.

Thank you so much Hideaki Anno for giving us the proper end to this awesome saga.
