Synopsis

Renzaburou Taki appears to be a regular salaryman, but in reality, he is a member of the Black Guards—a secret organization that maintains the fragile harmony between the human and demon realms. As the time to renew the peace treaty approaches, Taki is tasked with guarding the important human mystic Giuseppe Mayart, with the help of a demon woman named Makie. However, this is easier said than done; while a dangerous faction of demons has turned to terrorism in hopes of destroying the unity between the two realms, Giuseppe wants nothing more than to sneak off and fool around with women.

Wicked City is a stylish, well animated film that will have most viewers questioning what exactly fuels their love for anime as a whole. Regardless of if they liked the film or not. Mainly because it's an experience, so out there that it's really hard to pin down specifically what it's trying to be.

The films focus on psychological horror elements, and it's full embrace of sexual themes in conjunction with the horror aspects create a really interesting film that some will find excessive. And others will find fascinating.

The animation on display is smooth and appealing, with every creative choice feeling deliberate and calculated. ...

Starting out with my old anime disclaimer, this movie is nearly 38 years old at the time of this writing and the only fair and proper way to rate anything is in its own time. Nevertheless, I'll give it my best shot from a damn near 2025 lens.

Unlike other old anime I've reviewed, in this case the age of the program really isn't much of a factor in my overall takeaway. 38 year old graphics obviously couldn't pass for something that came out yesterday, but they actually hold up very well all things considered, and this must have looked AMAZING at the time. For 1987, ...
