I've know that Bennett The Sage already talked about this one too, but don't worry I'm not going to talk about this one that much. But just to get everyone up to speed here Wicked City is made by the man who is pretty much the Brad Bird of anime: Yoshiaki Kawajiri the man behind such classics as Ninja Scroll and Metropolis.
And yes I'm also aware that Wicked City is based upon a novel by Hideyuki Kikuchi but I haven't read it so that's that and I'm also aware about that 1992 Live action movie based upon this very anime movie, but I haven't seen that one so that's that.
While we are in the subject of what I'm aware about this movie, I also happen to know that thanks to this movie we have the popular Spawn comic book series, which I'm not a fan of, but my two sisters are so go figure.
Now that we got all the trivia knowledge out of the way I feel somewhat obligated to talk about hentai.
Why?
Because, honestly this movie is the best hentai movie I've ever seen.
As you might guess I'm aware of hentai, I have Googled the images of Tifa and Aerith. I've read Bondage Fearies, I've seen hentai versions of DragonBall Z, Digimon and so on I've even seen some random pictures of hentai and random animations, hell I even played couple of hentai games and after getting myself familiar with this form of art I can simply say: that I don't get it.
I mean I used to when I was 13 but I grown up that period, when all I needed was simply a pair of breasts, now hentai is to me simply something unwatchable, every time I see hentai it makes me question space and time and humanity in between it makes me question everything I believe in and everything I learned from the past 20 some years. But If you do get anything out of it then great!
And now that we are talking about hentai I can at least mention Adventure Duo or Adventure Kid if you live in US. Now I'm not planning on reviewing Adventure Kid in the future because it's just a dime dozen hentai OVA and that's it. It has tentacles, rape, orgies weird kinky stuff and a plot that's somewhat cute in the way that it's at least trying.
But why am I talking about hentai when I should be talking about The Wicked City, the anime movie made by Japanese Brad Bird?
Because to me Wicked City is the best hentai that I've seen just because it doesn't make me question my beliefs as all the other hentai I've seen. But that's just one of things that the Wicked City is, because in a core Wicked City is just a dumb action movie, that has a plot that's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too complicated for a movie like Wicked City.
Ok, so what's the plot? Well there is this secret agent man called Taki who get's this mission to protect an important man called Giuseppi Mayart, who is important. because they need him to sign a peace treaty between demons and humans. Taki also has a partner on this important mission, a beautiful woman named Makie. Taki&Makie are protecting Mayart from demon terrorists who don't want to have a peace with humans because they think that humans are untermensch (not a term used in a movie but you get the point) and did I also mention that Mayart is a dirty old man who just want's to get laid while he is in Tokyo?
I'm not giving you the twist ending of the movie, because it's really stupid and just drags down the whole movie and it was done way better in Ninja Scroll, God Ninja Scroll rocked! But not the anime series, avoid the Ninja Scroll anime series like the plague! Really it's that bad!
But back to Wicked City. It really is a shame that Wicked City is just a bad action movie that's just trying too hard because the animation is really good, despite the fact that it's colour scheme is basically just dark blue and black in black with other colours just kinda visiting.
Aside from that I really got noting to say about Wicked City, it's just a good hentai but a dumb action movie that's just trying waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too hard, with really good animation but non-existing colours.
