Mr Me-Mania

I really like this character and kind of feel sorry for him he's obviously twisted and deranged enough to kill people, but he's only doing it because he thinks he's protecting the woman he loves. He's so incredibly in-love with Mima that he gets himself beaten up trying to protect her from that gang and buys all the copies of the magazine with her naked pics in so people won't look at her naked. Everything he does is out of love dong what (he thinks) Mima is asking of him. Ironically he becomes so obsessed with talking to the Mima on the internet that he comes incredibly close to raping and killing the true object of his affection. sad ending for a good character, if only Mima could prove to him she was the real Mima then maybe his death could've been avoided and he could have got professional help like Rumi.

After seeing the ending of the movie, I thought that the entire movie was a movie in itself. Meaning, we find out at the end when Mr Me-Mania is attacking Mema, it is part of the movie that is being filmed. So I thought that when we see Mr Me-Mania in the beginning, it is part of the movie that is being filmed. We just don't find out that it was only a movie until the end. After saying this, I don't feel sorry for Mr Me-Mania because he was an actor playing a character.

"Mr Me-Mania is attacking Mema" It wasn't a movie within a movie....the last scene shows that Mema is at peace with her career as a superstar movie actress and rumi is locked up in the mental institute....

Well, I believe that Mima, Mr. Me-Mania, and Rumi were all a little looney.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

-Mima "Perfect Blue"

That still doesn't change the fact his one creepy stalker! There's nothing wrong with being a big fan of someone but it's definitely wrong to stalk someone.

yeah he was creepy as f--. Could have used mental help, sure, and yes in his mind he was "helping" her. But stalkers general do have twisted ways of thinking. He reminded me some of the guy who killed John Lennon. He used to be a superfan of Lennon and the Beatles, and felt like he was doing some grand moral thing after Lennon changed and became a hypocrite (in Chapman's mind). This dude in the movie was more confused than Chapman though in that he really thought there was an impostor violating Mima's name. Nevertheless, going out and raping/murdering people for the sake of someone you're stalking isn't really sweet or cute. Stalkers make victims' lives' living nightmares.

And lol the Phantom was a creepy stalker too so. He just had more overall potential and redeems himself at the end, at least
