Perfect Blue (1997)

Revealing mistake: Whilst Mima is opening the letters, there is a shot where she is sitting on her bed in the foreground of shot, and the TV is playing in the background of shot. On the shelf below the television is a game console with two controllers on top of it. The animation for the controller on the right is very weird. The right side is drawn longer than the left side, and its positioning on top of the console makes it appear as if it is hovering above it. (00:10:47)

Perfect Blue (1997)

Revealing mistake: The animation for the news reports shown on the television are incredibly cheap and simplistic. The design of the reporters and the background behind them is far from finished and does not appear realistic in the slightest. Also, everything that is shown on the television is just a still image where none of the people in it are shown moving. (00:10:12)

Continuity mistake: When Mima is in her apartment for the first time, there is a shot of her placing three letters on a table, on top of each other. The letter on the bottom has a pink envelope, the letter in the middle has a white envelope and the letter on top has a blue envelope. In a wide shot of the room a few seconds later, the envelopes have changed order. The blue envelope is now on the bottom, the pink envelope is now in the middle and the white envelope is now on top.

Perfect Blue (1997)

Revealing mistake: When the crowd are booing the hecklers, in a wide shot, most of the people are drawn without faces. This is even more noticeable when the crowd turn to Mima after she shouts at them. There is also very little detail is put into the animation of their hands, they come off as stumps attached to their arms, with no fingers. (00:06:26)

Perfect Blue (1997)

Revealing mistake: At the concert, when the hecklers are throwing the cups and cans at the crowd, and the crowd are doing the same thing to the hecklers, we can see many of the cans literally pop into frame when they are being thrown, and pop out of frame when they are close to landing at the other person. Clearly the cans were only drawn into the shot whenever they were being thrown and not whenever they came close to landing or before being thrown. (00:06:26)

Revealing mistake: When the assistant warden explodes after his body starts inflating due to the warden shooting him with the elephant bullets, in the close-up shot of his head exploding, we can see that his head has been replaced with a fake dummy head. (01:23:18)

Casual Person

Revealing mistake: Just after the warden has shot the assistant warden with the bullet made for shooting elephants, there is a shot of the assistant warden's body inflating. In the shot, we can see that really bad prosthetics have been added to his forehead, cheeks, nose and chin to make it appear as if his head is inflating. It is extremely noticeable where the prosthetics end and where his real face begins, making the whole effect appear completely unnatural. (01:23:12)
