Wicked City - With Halloween close by, I decided to re-watch Wicked City seeing that I haven't seen it in years since I was in High School. Wicked City is one of my favorite anime films and I still think it's a fantastic movie from start to finish. While the movie does have flaws, I think the movie really has great action, suspense, characters and awesome world building.
I thought the main characters are well done and I really love the duo between Makie and Taki. Renzaburo Taki is also a really cool character and Gregory Snegoff did a great job on voicing him in the Streamline dub of the film. I like the anime better in sub, but the Streamline dub for Wicked City is pretty good. Giuseppi Mayart is also very funny and is one of my favorite characters in the film. I admit that the villains could have been better, but I still enjoy them. The story of a hidden demon world from the human world and having a organization designed to protect the relations of both worlds in secret is very well done in my opinion.
Yoshiaki Kawajiri is one of my favorite anime directors of all time next to Satoshi Kon. What I love about Wicked City is the world in the movie and how interesting the story is. Nothing in this anime feels boring at all and the anime does a great job on mixing suspense, atmosphere and action into one. The anime has gore, but there is not much gore compare to Ninja Scroll, Berserk, Urotsukidoji: Legend of the Overfiend or Higurashi When They Cry. Yoshiaki Kawajiri knew how to not over shadow the plot and characters without adding too much blood and gore.
The graphic horror and pulse-pounding action really makes Wicked City feel like no other film of its time. The animation in this movie is fantastic and holds up pretty well after nearly 30 years later. The animation really captures the dark mood and spooky atmosphere. The anime also has great monster designs and the other characters also look great too. Also the movie can have humor as well and the humor is pretty funny.
Yeah this movie has sex and nudity, but I didn't care. Having sex and nudity does not make something bad if it does not over shadow the plot. The movie still had a lot of great action and suspense to make up the sex scenes.
Wicked City is like a mixture between Blade Runner, Evil Dead and John Carpenter's The Thing which is why this movie is so awesome. Overall, Wicked City is just an awesome movie. It has a great blend of action, horror, and drama. If you like horror anime or demonic anime like Devilman, I suggest to check out Wicked City. This anime is NSFW, so view it at your own risk. Grade: A
