[16] The company that purchased the videogram and television rights to Perfect Blue before the
film was completed advised the distributor to submit the film to the Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal, Canada, so that it could be released overseas first. [21] Since it was his first film, director Kon was still unknown. Therefore, the distributor introduced the film as the first directorial effort of a disciple of Katsuhiro Otomo, the creator of Akira, which had already become a hit overseas. [21] Otomo is credited as a planning collaborator, but he never arranged for the company to ask Kon to direct the film, nor was he involved in the film. However, it seems that Otomo once advised the original author about the circumstances of the animation industry when he was touting around the animation project here and there. [18][19] At Fantasia, the film was so well received that a second screening was hurriedly arranged for those who could not see it, and it was eventually voted by the audience as the best international film. [26] Thanks to that, the distributor began to receive invitations from more than 50 film festivals, including Germany, Sweden, Australia, and South Korea. [26] The distributor began negotiations with distributors in various European countries and eventually succeeded in selling the film in major markets such as Spanish, French, Italian, English and German-speaking countries prior to its release in Japan. [26] The distributor was successful in obtaining permission from filmmakers Roger Corman and Irvin Kershner to use
their comments in recommending the film free of charge worldwide. As a result, their comments were used on international theater flyers and in worldwide promotions. Later, there was a rumor that director Darren Aronofsky had purchased the remake rights for Perfect Blue.
