Yeah, I 100% agree there. There's so many interesting stories you can tell with idols that anime almost seems to be afraid to touch, stuff like Perfect Blue.

Geez, I've had Perfect Blue sitting around on DVD for years and I've never gotten around to watching it. After all the writing and analysis videos I've seen it feels like I've already watched it, but I really should give it a go since I loved Paranoia Agent. We need a visionary like Satoshi Kon in today's industry.
