Wicked City

If you're a fan of anime you've probably seen Ninja Scroll. If you liked that movie you will like Wicked City. If you haven't seen Ninja Scroll yet...DO! NOW! [well, wait till you read the rest of this blog, please... then watch Wicked City after that.]
-
There are a bevy of similarities between the two films. Both are writen and dircted by the same guy; both use some of the same voice actors; neither has robots, spaceships, transformers, or any variation there of; and both are very violent and very sexual; and very NOT for children .
-
And both are very fun.
-
But this is about Wicked City: which is about two "Black Guards" assigned to protect a diplomat who is about to sign a very special peace treaty between humans and "the other side" (supernatural). Of course, not of all the "other side" wants the treaty signed. Conflict ensues...
-
This is not an Academy Award winner by any stretch of the imagination. But it is a very nice distraction, where you may actually have to think in parts [GASP!!]
