The pressures on Mima seem to build, and Kon turns this from simple anxiety into horror. I also think that in these days where everything a celebrity does can be filmed, photographed and disseminated on the internet makes the commentary in this film even more relevant. The power of the internet was just being explored in anime during these years, but Kon really got the jump on it. We'd see some similar exploration in his later works like "Paprika" and in other anime like "Serial Experiments Lain".Roman J.
