That there was a fat chick running round in a Mima costume, for god's sake. And why on earth couldn't Mima tell it was her manager? IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

LMAO!!!
Yeah, I find this film intriguing and interesting, but at the end of the day the mystery story makes no sense. It's funny, on another thread someone is trying to explain the plot - basically, doing the job that the filmmakers failed to do.

That there was a fat chick running round in a Mima costume, for god's sake
ROFLMAO !!!

The "fat chick running around in a Mima costume" was never really there, until the very end (the Rumi/Mima fight scene). We see Pop-Idol Mima for what she really is at the end, because that's the only scene in which Rumi actually makes an appearence as Pop-Idol Mima. The rest of it was just a blend of Mima's conscience and the crap she was reading on the website.
shareHow can you possibly know that.

I have to agree with Hayley ORK. It's the only explination that actually makes sense.
shareI think it was kind of a "Fight club" moment. She thinks it was her "imaginary friend" but it's really her.
Of course I only saw it once, just a few hours ago.

I don't think everything in Perfect Blue can be taken at face-value.
Because the film showed it to us in no uncertain terms.

No. No, I did not watch the film. I came on here and published a post concerning the plot of the film without having seen it.
I'm afraid I just don't understand how one can say with certainty that although we see the apparition change into Mima's manager wearing a costume that we are not meant to take this as pretty well gospel that it was her the whole time. Why put it in there if it's not meant as an explanation?

Not to sound too rude but the fact that no-one batted an eye at the fake Mima jumping around should be enough for you to figure out that she isn't actually there.
Short and simple: Rumis illusion infiltrated Mimas mind(magically or via that webpage, don't know which) and she saw what Rumi wanted to see; a "real" Mima.

Noone was around to see fake fat Mima bouncing around in the chase scene. The only people who saw the fake and real Mima were the drivers, who found the Mimas after nearly running them over.
shareOnly for 2 minutes at the end.

It's been a few months since I've seen it, but I'm pretty sure the story was told mostly from Mima's point of view, not a third-person objective point of view. And Mima's having a breakdown of sorts. So no, you can't assume that what's on the screen is always what's "really" happening.
share"why on earth couldn't Mima tell is was her manager?"
Yeah, this whole film, Mima has been so astute and trustworthy an observer. How come all of a sudden at the end she starts seeing things differently from how they actually occur.
Hurrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
All the plot you need is that The Warriors have to "bop their way back to Coney." —alanmc1uk
The REAL Mima was taken back to "Mima's room", which was a replica of the REAL Mima's apartment constructed by the deluded Rika. By the time everyone important was dead, Rika had also become so deluded that she didn't shy away from showing Mima what she really was. Mima woke up in Rika's apartment with Rika dressed in Mima's pop idol costume and in a total insane state. Mina is at first confused and thinks she sees Ghost Mima once more, she chokes Ghost Mima and it is finally revealed to her that it has been Rika all along. Rika started the site and gathered the information and killed the men. Rika begins attacking her and we are shown a chase scene (that probably didn't include Ghost Mima spritely hopping, but following Mina as best as she could - notice her breathlessness). By the end of the chase Rika cuts herself and the real Mima finally realizes everything. Ghost Mima had been a hallucination caused by the torment that Rika's harassment brought out.
