Wonderful 100, Capitalism fails again!

Team, engaging Unlimited Funds!
Saw it Thursday. It was great timing as I had taken a deeper dive into this whole "anime" thing earlier this year and Satoshi Kon's works have always been on my mind to watch. Already got two of his movies physically. I would totally buy Perfect Blue, but this new restoration gives me hope for a better Bluray in the near-ish future. Hope it doesn't take... more than a year.

On the plus side, a local theater I go to is playing the movie again later this month. Hoping to take my cousin.

Is the dub serviceable?

While I can't speak to the dub's actual quality, from what I've heard it's mostly faithful. It WAS a dub from 1998, so..

I know a line during the climax isn't nearly as good as the original, but it works. Loses some personal meaning, but whatevs.

Without spoiling the ending though, the last line in the movie was (most likely accidentally) changed. To be fair, most English speaking audiences wouldn't be likely pick up on it, at least on a first watch. I certainly wouldn't of if spoilers hadn't gotten to me first. But it's arguable if the line was even necessary.
