Summary: Wicked City...not for the weak-minded
Review: CONTENT:Ok, if you are reluctant of this movie because people tell you that its really gory/sex-oriented, then I feel you should see it for yourself. I was severely disapointed on how little this made me cringe. Yes, there is sex. Yes, there is gore. But NO, its not as bad as everyone says...unless you are easily grossed out. There is probably one sex-like scene that made me squint, but otherwise nothing is that bad in this. The worst you will see as far as nudity is concerned is female breasts and butts...there are a few questionable parts though (the spider-woman's use of her vaginal area for where she removes webbing). The gore factor isn't as terrible as people say. If you really want gore, then see some of the Hentai titles like Midnight Panther, or Demon Beast Invasion and this will seem like child's play. PLOT: The story isn't that bad, but it tends to lean towards female abuse and/or taking advantage of the female body. The ending is what made me keep the DVD because it seemed like it leaned away from the over-used sex scenes and towards an actual story. DVD: The DVD is good, and it offers a lengthly interview with the director, bios on the characters, and the original trailer. The menu is also easily navicable, which is a plus for these types of movies. Also, as usual, the Japanese and English versions are available with the Japanese version creaming the dub as far as quality. OVERALL: To sum this movie/dvd up, I would say its like Ninja Scroll with sex and demons instead of nudity and ninjas. I would get this DVD is you are a fan of Ninja Scroll, Demon City Shinjuku, or a Wind Named Amnesia.

Summary: A bizaar story...
Review: Cops meets Demon City in a world vividly recreated by some fine artists in this anime. The story is a little dry really but interesting. For the most part it is a worthy purchase but many will find it too dull if they expect another Demon City. The movie never quite harnesses it's opening eerie environment, and then loses its hold on you as the story drags on. The themes are mature and there is nudity and graphic violence. Basically a cop must fight demons before they come and take over the dimension in which humans live. A dirty old man is the secret to stopping them and he is hired to protect him. A few laughs involving the old mans ruthless desires to the demon woman who was sent to also protect him. The cop falls for the demon girl in text book format and the story progresses until you wake up.

Summary: Wickedly great!
Review: From Director Yoshiaki Kawajiri who would later gives us Ninja Scroll,Biohunter,Demon city,and the new Vampire Hunter gives us his first fully directed Wicked City.
Two worlds exist earth and another called the Black World.Peace has always remained between the two for centuries,but now its time to sign another peace treaty.This time a rebellious group of mutating creatures travel from the black world to kill key figures that keep peace between the two. An elite group called the Black Guards have been assigned to protect the key figures and preserve the peace. The film follows two Black guards one from each world. Wicked city provides great visual action scenes,and an intresting story,you feel you get a full anime experince with this one,"although a very graphic one" Its on my top ten anime list.I just cant belive it was made in 1987.

Summary: Origanal, Sexy and Ultra Violent!
Review: From the team that brought us "Ninja Scroll" and "Demon City Shinjuku" comes an anime title that is sure to blow you away. The animation is good, especially when Taki is forced into a fight to the death against demons from the Black World at the Tokyo Airport. The music is a little above average, about what you got in "Demon City Shinjuku". Yet I must give warning to all this is not a film for anyone under seventeen. This is due to the fact that a main pillar to the plot is sex! The story occures near the end of the millenium. It is time when the people of earth must renew a treaty with another dimension known as the black world. Taki is a member of the Black Gaurd, a secret agent from Earth that is assigned to protect the life of a Black World ambassador for 24 hours. Yet on this mission he is assigned a beautiful partner from the Black World. But grauding the ambassador is not going to be easy as rebels from the Black World relentlessly try to kill him. This anime is what brought about the widely sucessful movie "Men in Black". The amount of sex and violence is some of the highest ever, yet it is essential to the story. If you want something diffrent and slightly bizzar in the sci-fi genre then you need look no farther. As if I even need to say this next part. Warning this film contains Strong violence, Gore, Nudity, Strong Sexual Situations, Rape and Strong Language.

Summary: Laughable
Review: How can any one watch "Wicked City" and keep a straight face? Do people actually get off on animated nudity and sex? That thought is even more frightening and hilarious than this film. I've watched a lot of Anime in my life and have had to tolerate a lot. Even "Urotsukidoji / Legend of the Overfiend" has more merits than this film. "Wicked City" is probably the worst I've seen. It's not really that the content disturbs me. It's the plot of two agents trying to save a dirty old man that is obsessed with porn and whenever he has sex with a woman, she happens to turn into an alien and try to kill him. Not to mention monsters rapping a woman every other scene. It's just too silly and absurd for me. The quality is pretty good and has a moody dark style. The English dubbed actors do a good job but it's all in vain for such a lousy plot and tendencies to show more sex then plot.

Summary: Cool Anime!
Review: 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!!
