Perfect Blue
Movie, 1998, 1 ep Me:- Author:9
Loosely based on the novel Perfect Blue: Complete Metamorphosis (Perfect Blue: Kanzen Hentai) by Yoshikazu Takeuchi. The book and the film diverge from each other in an abrupt manner towards the middle of the story. There is no play-within-a-play in the original story, nor is there a motif of blurring the boundary between dream and reality
Paprika
Movie, 2006, 1 ep Me:- Author:9
Based on the 1993 novel of the same name by Japanese author Yasutaka Tsutsui. Unlike Perfect Blue, which was also based on a novel, Kon didn't change the fundamental parts of the original in Paprika, but he did change some parts of the novel to fit the movie. The parade of inanimate "nightmares" depicted in the film is not found in the novel, and was entirely Kon's idea
