Cool Anime!
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!!

Too slow-paced and grotesque for its own good.
Wicked City is essentially Ninja Scroll with a darker atmosphere, a slower plot, and more rape. In the story, there exist two worlds: this world, and the black world. The black world is full of supernatural beasts, some bloodthirsty, some peaceful. Two agents- Taki, a man from this world and Makie, a woman from the black world, are assigned as partners to protect an old man who is about to sign a peace treaty between the two worlds. But, a group of radicals from the black world want the old man killed. When Makie is captured, Taki puts his job aside to save his partner, and an interesting love story unfolds.

Action is rampant, and fight scenes are excellent, save for the fact that almost every enemy eventually transforms into a drooling, tentacle-bearing monster that enjoys raping Makie. Speaking of which, there's a ridiculous amount of twisted... activity in the movie, as well as a slew of other grotesque things that the movie could have easily done without. The story suffers from being too slow in too many places, and oftentimes I wanted to prod the plot right along. Despite some cool action scenes, Wicked City is a messy anime that isn't worth putting money into.

Wickedly awesome!!
This anime rules, reguardless of people's opinions of the sexual content of this. Makie is the hottest character in anime, I'd do her in a second if she were real!! Taki and Makie make an excellent anime duo because they kill their enemies and take their jobs seriously. Giosuppi Mayart is like a cross between Yoda and Ren Hoek with an extreme sex drive. He's alot funnier than SpongeBob but not as funny as Ren. The dirty politics driven plot, supernatural violence, and alien-sex make this an excellent anime. Yoshiaki Kawajiri has one dimented mind though, the spider-lady is rather creepy. Wicked City would have been perfect if the soundtrack consisted entirely of Black Sabbath. I can always edit the sound and replace it with Sabbath. Wicked City rules and Cowboy Bebop sucks!!!!
