Wicked City (1987) - Blade Cummer - Animation April 2024

We are back with Animation April where we check out animated horrors from all over the world, and we begin with 2 helpings of anime. The first being Wicked City, a movie about a man and a demon fighting for peace between their worlds, and the terrorists of the demon world seeking to undo such a peace. While its lovingly rendered and visually striking, it’s also…. kind of a porno. and not a loving consensual porno. not always. This movie is well regarded and led to some big career opportunities for the people involved, so it has a degree of importance. It mostly serves as a reminder of tonal inconsistency, missed opportunities, and the writers not-at-all-disguised fetish.
