Working for a special corporation, a special hunter finds that a group of demons are attempting to upset the balance between an agreement held with several supernatural entities and must fight alongside a fellow agent from the supernatural world to restore the balance between societies.Frankly, this one was a rather thrilling anime. One of the more engaging aspects of the film is the exceptionally enjoyable storyline that manages to bring together plenty of unique concepts to the forefront. The idea of a treaty engaged between different members of supernatural factions is quite a fun ride, and the film gets a lot of play out of the idea that the treaty coming to an end means that a series of big battles must be engaged to restore balance. That this leads into a non-stop series of big action scenes between the two sides is quite a lot of fun, giving this one a breathless pace which is due to the great encounters with the terrifying demons and creatures, from the spider-woman surprise following their sexual encounter or the battle with the creatures at the airport which is enhanced nicely by the terrifying creatures he has to fight off. That carries along nicely with the later frenzied encounters where the shapeshifting creatures in the mansion or the creature that attempts to tentacle-rape her out on the highway where it seemingly throws every kind of deformed and tentacle-shaped being in their arsenal. Due to the rampant attacks from the creatures in another dimension with far greater powers than ordinary mortals due to the strong storyline, there's plenty of fun thrills to be had with the anime format which allows for the supernatural demons and creatures to be placed in far more terrifying detail as they truly look otherworldly and terrifying that makes the action that much more fun. The action here is given a strong stylistic charge with the way the scenes come off here, making this one look all that much greater with the neon color-scheme running wild in the film so that the battle in the spa with the demon nurse or the encounter with the spider woman in the tunnel are rather excited yet the highly romantic sequences look great as well. Graced with tons of nudity and a truly hilarious side-character for some comic relief, this one ends up with a lot to really like about it over a minor flaw. The overall feel of the film is that it just seems to throw elements together that have a vein hope of making sense but in the end, it really just has too many strands going for it. Things just seem to happen here and it never explains why people have their powers, what the overall goals are for each side or what the plot-twist is supposed to mean as hardly anything here happens for a reason. Beyond this, the film is quite a lot of fun.Rated Unrated/R: Extreme Graphic Violence, Full Nudity, Graphic Language and strong sex scenes.

tl;dr: Plot holes, poor story and characters, borderline hentai, uninspired. May be not worth your time, unless you do not care for what is above. Do not watch it, or do it skipping through it.This movie is plenty of plot holes and obscure twists and situations, and rough character design. The storyline is pretty simple and you can predict the ending pretty soon (I saw it coming at around minute eight). Unexplained events, super powers, and total absence of lore or further development of the opposition dark-real worlds.The City in the "Wicked City" is missing, and that is bad. We mostly see interiors; just a couple of times we can appreciate the skyline.Cliques are abundant. The old depraved man, the lady killer big guy who falls in love, and so on, but they are static and superficially drawn.Violence and gore moments are uninspired. The horror,I argue, is all about the poorly written story and characters.The atmosphere and the sceneries are interesting, even though the color palette revolves too much, I think, on the red vs blue dichotomy. Monsters design is intriguing (the spider lady web and the two forms of the main antagonist).The soundtrack and sound design is basic and uninspired, below ordinary. The direction, anonymous.Ah, of course, plenty of nudity, which is not a bad thing if it is contextualized and coherent story-wise (I would watch an hentai instead). For example, the first sex scene that involves the male protagonist and a demon girl is not necessary. Even though the shape shifting of the girl is pretty cool, it does not add much to the story: they have sex and she says "we will meet later". Fine, they do. The guy is almost dying, hit by the lady but... the demon is struck by a lighting bolt from the sky. End. Also, rape vs romantic sex dichotomy (standard) and tentacles (unjustified: it is not tentacle hentai).

Wicked City is a solo anime movie of director Yoshiaki Kawajiri before he get to mainstream with Ninja Scroll and Vampire Hunter D:Bloodlust unlike his most famous stuff Wicked City is a very adult anime with raw,gritty and gory nature.It has some of the most impressive animation i ever see at the time and the use of the color red and blue in this brilliant.The plot of the anime is a mix of many genre like body horror,sci-fi and fantasy with a touch of adult themes and some time soft core porn.I can see it has been influence by a lot of American movie like:The Thing,Alien and The Blob if you can look pass all that i guaranteed you will have a bloody good time with this movie and find more gem from the early day of anime

This was my 1st. full-length anime motion picture I have ever seen, & ranks as one of my favorites! Taking place in the future, our hero, Taki who by day is an electrical salesman, & by night, a "Black Guard", is asked by his superiors to guard without failure a known senior negotiator, Mr. Guiseppe Mayart & to make sure he is at a treaty signing, & will be working with a partner, a "Black Guard" from the "Black World"....a female named "Makie". Together, they experience various situations from other renegade members of the Black World that try to thwart the treaty signing. What Taki & Makie don't know is that their pairing up from both worlds to protect Mr. Mayart has more that one objective, which makes sense later. What I liked about Wicked City is not just the storyline, but the anime itself. What I mean here is that this feature was "hand done" & not by computer, which is why it looks different from other anime features. NOTE: Unless your kids are of age, this anime is by all means not for the young ones. Aside from the "adult" parts, Wicked City is Excellent anime entertainment, which I am sure you'll enjoy!PS.: Happy Birthday, IMDb! & May you have many more!
