Product Description

There is Earth, our familiar world, and then there is the Black World, a parallel dimension that very few are aware of. For centuries, a pact between the two worlds has been observed to maintain peace, but terms must be renegotiated to continue the relative harmony. Taki of the human world and Makie of the Black World, two agents of the elite organization known as the Black Guards, defenders of the balance between the two worlds, are charged with insuring the success of the treaty against all threats.

3.0 out of 5 starsI really, really want to give this four stars, but i can't.
By A Customer on 25 Dec. 2002
Format: VHS Tape
Wicked City is an extremely interesting film, with alot of sex and violence throughout, so don't expect mild stuff.I had high expectations of this film, and was slightly let down- looking back on it now; nothing much happens. Interesting characters, bloody fight scenes and the action are thing things which pull this movie through. Taki's character is slightly wooden, but on the other hand Maki is represented as a very intelligent and strong lady, unlike how other female's are represented in other Manga movies; so that was a nice change. The animation is good, not good enough to saw 'Wow, this looks amazing' but good enough to please. I think Manga movies with subtitles can be annoying, so any dubbing is good enough for me- in this case it's extremely good. This movie may make people feel uncomfortable, but it will grow on you- and you'll get used to it, and most probably come to like it (seeing as it's a popular title for Manga fans)I think the film is quite interesting, and different from others because the good guys don't seem very experienced to me(preferably Taki)It also make's a change from all of those annoying, futuristic animated robot's in Manga movies (Detonator Orgun, Gunhed etc). Still, it's simply a post-apocolyptic story, which is easy to follow, which seemed to drag on qute a bit. The climax to the movie has a small, yet interesting twist, but let's down just a little bit. Don't expect a huge blockbuster-type movie-just swich off, and sit through some fun and exciting entertainment.

3.0 out of 5 starsGood fun, but could be so much better
By A Customer on 20 Oct. 2000
Format: VHS Tape
This anime is set at a time when the signing of a new peace treaty between demons and humans is threatened by a faction of human-hating demons. It focusses on the efforts of two Black Guards (agents assigned to keeping peace between demons and humans), Taki, a human male, and Maki, a beautiful female demon, to protect the irritating Doctor Malyart, whose presence at the signing is, apparently, of utmost importance.
Wicked City is a horror film which features graphic scenes of violence, sex and nudity. Unlike Urotsukidoji, I did not find this anime offensive. The animation is absolutely gorgeous, it contains a lot of great ideas and there are some wonderful action sequences in it. However, it fails to sustain interest throughout, some of the characters are intensely annoying, the ending (which I shan't ruin as it is meant to be a surprise) is extremely disappointing and, as a whole, it was ruined by the "Oh, Taki"/"Oh, Maki" style romance which took over the plot in the second half.
So, all in all, this could have been a fantastic movie, but in fact it's just an okay one.

4.0 out of 5 starsWicked City is Wicked Indeed!
By Oz on 2 Oct. 2008
Format: DVD
I was really impressed with this film. The premise: a hero and heroine from two different worlds must join together to protect an ancient man of great importance who is supposed to attend an important meeting very soon but has a whole host of grotesque bad guys out to kill him and stop his attendance.
Now, to begin with it seems like standard supernatural anime fair but the film has a great boon that many similar films do not; lack of the stomach-churning rape scenes. Films like this are usually chock full of violent and creepy sexual assault scenes; this one does not rely on that to further the plot, which I found very refreshing. The story is followable and the animation is great, some of the bad guys are so sinister you'll be biting your nails waiting to see their next move. The fighting scenes are exciting and entertaining and the character of the little old man whom the heroes are sent to protect provides the comic relief in the film, being the biggest pervert and most cantankerous little bugger you'll ever see. The twist at the end is also most unexpected and the soundtrack is really cool.
I really enjoyed the film and would recommend it to those anime fans like myself who enjoy creepy sci-fi type movies but without the continual disturbing Hentai bits. This is a great addition to any anime or supernatural collection.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe best of the lot !!!!!!!!!!!
By A Customer on 9 Dec. 2004
Format: DVD
The rates as top quality manga action.I've watched this a dozen or more times and its just as great as the first time.You've got a hero and a heroine from opposite sides brought together for classified meeting that is taking place.Their mission (that they have to accept) is to protect the main chair person for said meeting.Main person is a preverted little man,who won't stay put.What follows is the doctor running running round having fun, while Tacky & Macky (bad names for the hero&heroine)stop the bad guys gettig their hands on the doc.There is a very good twist in the story which means you have to watch it all.It will entertain you time and again.buy it!especially if's you're first manga film you've decided to buy.
