Megumi, the first to die, goes from being a small-town girl with big-city dreams to being an undead killer whose disdain for her hometown gains murderous new dimension. Those who are murdered and reborn as shiki see their lives as humans warped into bizarre personalities. The shiki are hypnotic, undying figures of inhuman drives, as utterly unknowable as they are eerily similar to everyday people. Shiki, which chronicles the destruction of a small town by the inhuman monsters that live in the mansion on the town's outskirts, is a classic vampire story. The real terror, in Mima's mind and the viewer's, lies in her world's collapse - sudden, complete, and impossible to forget. There's a culprit held to account at the end of Perfect Blue, but their actions are only part of the story.

Mima descends into an underworld of illusion, and the viewer has only her perspective to rely upon, one that draws into question the reliability of reality itself.

Frantic cuts disorient the viewer, odd scene changes mimic Mima's increasingly disordered mind, and mirrors, screens, and windows refract a world that has lost its meaning. The events of Perfect Blue are themselves horrific, but it's Kon's dizzying approach to their portrayal that make Perfect Blue the nightmare it's revered as. But as threatening faxes pour in and a website entitled 'Mima's Room' - containing diary entries purportedly written by Mima herself - gains momentum, Mima realizes not all is as it seems. Mima, our protagonist, has just left the pop idol group that made her famous to become a serious actress.
