Tags actionAction anime usually involve a fairly straightforward story of good guys versus bad guys, where most disputes are resolved by using physical force. It often contains a lot of shooting, explosions and fighting., coming of ageIn the strict sense the Coming of age describes a young person`s transition from adolescence to adulthood. In anime the term is used in a more general sense where the protagonists have to face a challenge, make an important decision in their life, take on responsibility, or learn a lesson, and by overcoming these obstacles they reach a higher level of maturity., dark fantasyFocus set on darker themes in a fantasy setting, sometimes leaning towards horror elements. Bleak and pessimistic tones often dominate. Dark supernatural beings like vampires may play a significant role., demonIn Western lore, demons are often described as minions from Hell, generally known to attack humans and feast on their flesh or possess the bodies of those with weak souls. In Eastern lore, on the other hand, they are generally supernatural, often but not always malevolent beings who can be more mischievous than actually evil, or simply supernatural spirits of no specific alignment., dystopiaA dystopia is, in literature, an often futuristic society that has degraded into a repressive and controlled state, often under the guise of being utopian., fantasyImaginative or fanciful work, especially one dealing with supernatural elements and themes., horrorThe horror cinematic genre is characterized by the attempt to make the viewer experience dread, fear, terror, or horror. Often their plots involve the intrusion of an evil force, event or personage, sometimes of supernatural origin, on the mundane world and the consequences thereof., novelA novel is a relatively long work of narrative fiction, normally written in prose form, and which is typically published as a book. Manga, comics, or visual novels do not fit this description and are not considered novels; including a small number of illustrations, however, is still permissible, which means that light novels are considered novels., nudityNudity is the state of wearing no clothing and exposing the bare skin or intimate parts. NO FRONTAL NUDITY (visible genitals) = 1.5 STARS OR LESS. Especially gratuitous fanservice shows tend to show their characters frequently without any clothes, though often hiding genitals through the means of additions like steam., seinenSeinen, literally "young man", is one of the main demographic classifications applied to manga, and, by extension, to anime, especially manga-based ones. As the name implies, seinen works are marketed primarily to an audience of young men; the age range commonly understood to be the target of such works goes roughly from 17 to somewhere in the 40s., sexSexual intercourse, the ultimate bond of love and the "Origin of the World" (just think of Gustave Courbet`s painting)., super powerBe it an ancient Greek Heracles, a cybernetic muscle-man, or a fourteen year-old girl in a mini-skirted sailor suit. As long as they have super powers, they`re in the show., violenceViolence is the use of physical force against oneself or another entity, compelling action against one`s will on pain of being hurt. - [similar]

There is Earth, the familiar world, and then there is the Black World, a parallel dimension that very few people are aware of. For centuries, a pact between the two worlds has been observed to maintain peace, and terms must be negotiated and renewed soon to continue relative harmony.

This time around, there is a militant faction that will stop at nothing to prevent the signing of a new treaty for inter-dimensional peace. Two agents of the elite organization known as the Black Guards — defenders of the balance between the two worlds — are charged with ensuring the success of the treaty.

As in the case of Demon City Shinjuku, Wicked City is based on an earlier novel by Hideyuki Kikuchi. Both films were MadHouse productions and not only share art style, but most of the same Japanese VA cast. Plot wise, both explore the idea of a demon underworld in Tokyo.

Both animes involve dark fantasy worlds where a semingly normal man falls in love with an unearthly or demonic woman. Both animes contain an enemy figure who uses tentacles. Both animes have unnatural sex scenes. Both animes take place, at some point, in a dark urban setting.

I was entertained. I don't understand why this has such low ratings. The art style is amazing, music as well and the story will have you second guessing everything. A very good movie, for me at least.

A really wicked movie which caters for a lot of fetishes like insect-like-monsters with tentacles and/or spikes and rape to name just a few. Since they aren't exactly my fetishes I could have done without them.

Other than that the general story was interesting and had some nice twists. The animation and especially the character design looked really good and the music was nice too.

Very much like Demon city Shinjuku and Ninja scrolls, this realization (which is from the same person) is about to show you more and more twisted monsters and how the heroes dispatch them. The story itself is not of great interest, and simply brings about the creatures and the ensuing fights. You will not be spared of the usual twist at the end of the film. The premise is simple, if not hooked by the the story, there is enough of a plot to keep you interested, but do not expect much of it either.
This is clearly rather for adults and young adults as sex is not an off-screen matter (there is an explicit rape scene).

The main protagonists are not bunch of flawless good guys versus the incarnation of the evil, and you get attached to them. Which for an hour and half of film is the sign that the characterization is well done. At least far better than in Demon city Shinjuku.

The animation and the visuals are perfectly in line with the quality of good OVAs of that era, and are fine. The music sticks well to the mood, and if perfectly forgettable, does the job.

In brief, if you liked Ninja scrolls, you can see another work from the same guy, and compare it. If you think Ninja scrolls completely lacked of a deep story (which is alas hard to deny) and had a good imagination about monsters and fights, you have the previous version, and can see that indeed there has been some improvements. Not a bad film, entertaining, but do not watch it with your kids or you're headed for embarrassing questions.
