Perfect blue has an actual story. Millennium actress is just a neat way of storytelling...with no actual story...not that I was able to understand anyway.

There's a very loose plot that is warped by the narrator's imagination, but I think that's what I loved about it. Stream of consciousness takes on a whole new meaning in the movie, where random scenes from the character's life (whether real or from movies) all get strewn together to tell a life story. I found the ending especially poignant.

Yeah but a life story that turned out to be one dimensional simply because the catalyst of the entire film was rather flimsy...Perfect blue had an air tight script and the motivations of the main characters were believable...

In any case, I think Kon is the most innovative anime director today...I wish he would team up with Studio 4C to give his films the extra visual boost (instead of the rather tired looking classic animation style).

Are you at all into torrents?

Ohsweet! They also did Mind game Asian DVD Club :: Login which I've yet to download (soo much to see, too little time) but if Tekkonkinkreet is anything to go by, it'll be a feast for the eyes...amazing studio...
