Summary: 4 Stars
In a world of humans which we live in and a dimension called The Black World run by bizarre shape-shifting beings whom have been secretly living with each other's sides for a thousand years. There has been peace between the two worlds yet it has been broken as a group of shapeshifting cretins called The Radicals from the opposite side start to make bizarre murders, there has been an assigned treaty for inter-dimensional peace between both worlds yet The Radicals wants to prevent that from happening. Top agent Taki whom happens to be your basic human agent is joined with beautiul black world agent Makie who can make amazing laser-like claws at will for weapons have a duty to protect a 200 year old peacekeeper named Giuseppi Mayart from assassins. Only one problem, Mayart is just a stubborn old sex crazed dude and he is the only one that can make peace between both worlds but how can can both Makie and Taki protect this man from the Radicals?
Bizarre and exciting 1987 Japanese animated horror/sci-fi/fantasy flick from the director of "Ninja Scroll" known as Yoshiaki Kawajiri is one of the most unusual and overlooked anime movies around. The animation is very good, the storyline is kind of complicated and is loaded with nudity, sex, gory violence and some humor as well. Makie is simply a gorgeous anime character guaranteed to arouse some anime fanboys, it's nowhere as excellent as Kawajiri's "Ninja Scroll" or "Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust" for that matter but it's still an enjoyable and nasty bit of Japanese animation.
This DVD has good picture and sound quuality with both English language and Japanese language with English Subtitle audio. The extras include trailers to this and other Urban Vision anime, biographies of the characters, interview with the director and Weblink.
Also recommended: "Ninja Scroll", "Urotsukidoji: Legend of the Overfiend", "Ichi The Killer", "Akira", "Ghost in The Shell", "The Professional: Golgo 13", "Grindhouse", "Kite", "Lifeforce", "From Dusk Till Dawn", "Vampire Hunter D", "Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust", "Fist of the North Star", "X The Movie", "Sin City", "Re-Animator", "The X-Files: Fight the Future", "Men in Black", "Heavy Metal" and "Perfect Blue".
Movie Review: Cool Anime!
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this DVD based on customer opinions because I love movies that you can't get enough of, that give you something different and that are fun to watch again and again... "Wicked City" is all of these things. The story centers around two Black Guards assigned to protect a sexed-up, freaky, laviscious blue midget named Mayart who is supposed to be an important go between for a 21st century peace treaty between the mutants of the Black World and the Humans. The mutants, from the wild world of shape-changing demon XXX octopus porn, want the wonder midget dead so they can enslave the Humans. The two main characters, Taki, the human Black Guard, armed with a giant revolver that puts him through walls whenever he pops a cap and a Black World femme fatal mutant with laser Lee press-on nails are assigned to protect the midget. The animation is dated but it isn't bad; it's dark, gothic and slick, part "Speed Racer" and noir "Batman." The characters are good and the bad guy mutants are full of tenticles, eyeballs, claws and snappers. When the good guys meet the mutants, it's eyeballs rolling explosions, and sliced bits and glop everywhere; lots of fun! The story is like a cyber-punk X-Files meets Men In Black in a William Gibson novel starring a midget Howard Stern, an anime Detective Phillip Marlowe and an abused super-model; so be warned... There's a lot of cool ultra-violence and real Horrorshow sex! It's all too much fun; you've got to watch again and again. I loved every second! I take one star away just because it has a bit sappy love story going on and the animation is a bit dated. I give it 4 stars for the story, characters, action and fun! If you like on the edge anime, you'll get "Wicked City" NOW!!
