i don't think they pick up on the fact that Americans bitch about giving nogs fat lips. i think it's genuine innocence. Mexico had a character called Memin Pinguin that looked monkeyish, not intended as offense though. The character was supposed to be the protagonist and teach good values or something.

>ANIMERICA: What is the significance of the title Perfect Blue?

>KON: That's a frequently asked question and, at the same time, one I find very difficult to answer. To be honest, I used it because it was the title of the original novel. I presume the words had some significance, but as I changed the story and probably the subject as well, I guess the meaning was lost in the film. I can only conjecture because I didn't read the novel. I simply read through the rough plot, which was described as "close to the original story" in the project plan delivered to me. We discussed changing the title, but I like it. It sounds significant and mysterious.

>So the story of the film is completely different from the novel?

>Yes. Especially the idea of a film within a film, and the idea of a blurred border between the real world and imagination, those were my ideas and they weren't in the novel.

He was a trap, alright. He was disgused as a female and tricked Alberto into sleeping with him. When he wandered off with him to fuck him, his posse showed up. Them the bandit leader mocked Alberto for falling for a dude in drag.
The difference with the anime is that in the novel Peppo doesn't show up again, whereas in the anime he becomes a recurring character after finding a job in Alberto's house as a maid. I think the staff stated that the character seemed like too much fun to just drop after one scene.
I remember laughing to myself watching the anime after Albert scored in Italy because I remembered that Peppo was a dude in drag in the novel and I knew the Japs wouldn't pass that opportunity.
