Mais um filme de anime dos anos 1980 aparecendo por aqui. Nesse, nós temos uma sociedade que vive "em harmonia" com os demônios e o pacto entre os dois povos está para ser renovado. 

 Acontece que os demônios não estão muito felizes e vem para a superfície e começam uma caçada ao agente responsável por cuidar da pessoa que renovará a harmonia entre os dois mundos. 

Sim, essa animação até tem uma boa premissa, mas como você verá no vídeo, não passa muito disso.

Wicked City by me (complete cause I’m over it)

Wicked City (1987)

I'm giving Wicked City a zero star rating. The question is “Why?”. It isn't entirely without merits. I certainly wasn’t bored. I nonetheless can't recommend it to anyone.

Our world co-exists with that of demons. For centuries, a pact between the “Black World” and ours has maintained peace. When a group of radicals threatens to ignite a war, Black Guard agents Renzaburō Taki (Greg Snegoff voices the human) and Makie (Gaye Kruger as the female demon) are dispatched to protect the lecherous, 200-year-old demon signatory Giuseppi Mayart (voiced by Mike Reynolds). Sinister forces begin assembling to take the elderly council member down, no matter the cost.

When people who've never seen any anime imagine what it's like, they think of this film. It’s badly dubbed, the animation ranges from ok to cheap, the story is juvenile, the female characters over-sexualized, the lead is wooden and devoid of any charisma, and the tone all over the place as it flashes quickly between scenes of rape (including the tentacles variety) to what passes for romance. I assumed movies like this didn’t actually exist, that they were exaggerations compiled from clips taken out of context or weird pornographic films.

It's unclear whether this story is simply juvenile and trying to be edgy or genuine misogynist. Every single woman we see gets naked and winds up in some kind of sexual situation. Though Makie is a trained demon agent with superhuman strength, agility, and any number of other powers, she relies entirely on the men around her. Adding insult to injury is a complete lack of personality. She's merely there to titillate the audience as she is repeatedly undressed and/or sexually assaulted. This wouldn't necessarily be wrong, but in "Wicked City", rape is not used to develop characters, create drama, make you think, or advance the story. It’s included because the author knows that rape is a bad thing and that if a character is subjected to it, they will be uncomfortable. The execution is so poor, you'd think gang-rape torture is as unpleasant as discovering your co-worker didn't flush the toilet.

Wicked City pretends to be about a badass pair of superagents that have to protect a lecherous old man who can’t behave from demons. Actually, it's a pornographic too afraid to commit to an adult audience. It wants to be edgy with its violence and with its nudity so that excitable male teenagers will think it’s hardcore, daring, provocative, and "cool".

Let’s pretend your DVD skips over all of the scenes with questionable material in them, or you’re just not offended by that kind of stuff. I can’t speak for the original Japanese dialogue, but the English dub I found on the “Special Edition” is simply awful. You'll have difficulty understanding whether characters are human or not because the dialogue contradicts itself. Several plot elements are never explained or introduced quickly and then dropped entirely. Can you guess which character has a prosthetic arm? Maybe if you pay very close attention and realize the character who receives what should be a devastating injury isn’t bothered by it at all. Characters’ motivations make no sense, people’s abilities in terms of strength and supernatural powers vary wildly from scene to scene. In terms of animation, there are animation errors present throughout, including a character disappearing when behind a chain-link fence. How do you make that mistake?

All this in a story so linear it becomes as predictable as a re-run of Pokemon. Even the characters you’ve seen a thousand times. Giuseppe is the randy old man. Doesn’t matter how many times people tell him to shut up or threaten him with violence, he still pesters every attractive woman (like there was any other kind in this picture) for sex. Our lead is never defined except for the fact that he gets angry when bad things happen and likes to see naked women. Makie is a weak-willed individual sold as being strong but quickly devolves into eye candy when she's not a hostage to be saved.

I didn’t come into the film hating it. In fact, I’m more disappointed with it than angry. Someone should have known better. Wicked City has been called a classic, right along with Akira, and Ghost in the Shell. Somewhere, someone dismissed all of anime because their first interaction with the genre was Wicked City. Don’t even be tempted to watch it out of curiosity, or as something so shocking that it will be exciting. It’s neither artistic nor profound. Only immature, hateful, sadistic, misogynist, ugly, and ultimately, cheap. (English Dub on DVD, April 17, 2015)
