In a world where humans which we live in and a dimension called The Black World roamed by shape-shifting beings whom have been living secretly among us for many years. Reviewed by TalesfromTheCryptfan 9 / 10 Wickedly cool animated feature! I wouldn't write this film off, but I wouldn't necessarily want to watch it again. If you are into dark, gory Japanese manga and animation, this may be right up your alley.
#Wicked city time movie
If you are watching this movie for a great storyline, you will more than likely walk away disappointed. That all being said, this movie does have some pretty badass animation, which is its saving grace. It has been done way too many times and comes off as uninspired and unoriginal. The whole Romeo-and-Juliet "forbidden love" component here kind of falls flat. There really is no build-up for their relationship. Their inevitable romance feels cliché and forced. However, both the male and female leads are rather boring characters. The perverted old man, while a cliché in Japanese anime and manga, is a likable enough character. Despite the dark atmosphere, it manages not to take itself too seriously.
This movie contains mild amounts of nudity and violence, so it is NSFW by all accounts, although nothing too outrageous is shown. However, there are beings from the other realm not too keen on making peace who set out to prevent the old man from making it to the accord. Their job is to safely escort an important ambassador (who turns out to be a perverted old man) to the peace accord so that the two realms can negotiate a treaty. He is partnered with a humanoid female agent from the different realm. He is recruited for a mission pertaining to a peace accord in Tokyo between Earth and a different realm. The film follows a secret agent of sorts. It takes place in a dark, dystopian Japan far into the future. The setting and overall tone is very much along in line with the likes of Ghost in the Shell or Akira. This film is one of the more interesting Japanese animated films I've seen recently, though not necessarily in either a good or bad way.
