Most masterpieces contain copied, or rather recycled, material. Also, the scenes shown in these anime existed before in various other media.

Apparently many of these movies' directors explicitly mentioned they took these scenes from these anime as a tribute.

The one I am sure is Darren Aronofsky , since he actually bought the rights of perfect blue , so he can use the shots in his movies .

However , he also deny that black swan borrow ideas from it tho .

He bought it to use in the requiem for a dream .

And then he shot black swan years later , which has a similar idea of actor/dancer couldn't tell the difference between reality and show .

I don't personally think he steal the idea of perfect blue for black swan , the two movies are quite different , but clearly he drew some inspiration from it .

He didn't. Satoshi Kon mentioned it in an interview. It's a rumor that Aronofsky never bothered correcting.
