Hits & Misses: Wicked City

Real Talk: Wicked City was my introduction into the more mature anime when I was a kid.

Hit: Just to get this out of the way, the animation even in 1987 is really good.

Hit: Kanako's/Spider Woman's character design, it's not everyday that the spider woman concept be taken so literal in fiction. 

Real Talk: Now if this was made live-action today the Spider Woman character would've been CGI'ed as hell and would've looked like shit.

Real Talk: Also the Spider Woman was my second waifu before waifus were popular, the first being Jessica Rabbit.

Hit: *Taki punches one of the Black World assailants so hard that he made a hole straight through the chest.* I don't care if anime doesn't explain how Taki did it, that was awesome.

Hit: The assailant goes full on John Carpenter's The Thing, hell he even has he head turned upside down and sprouts legs and eyes.

Hit:  Taki's gun is like if the Caster Gun from Outlaw Star had a baby with the Dominator from Psycho Pass.

Miss: The Mayart character is such a creepy pervert in the anime that he makes Master Roshi look like a saint.

Miss: Not to mention he can be such an annoying asshole.

Miss: As awesome as Makie's fingernail claws are I can't help but to get Superman IV Nuclear Man flashbacks.

Real Talk: Wicked City was shown on local TV when I first watched it. And out of most of the scenes with sex and nudity, the scene with Makie getting throat rape by a body horror creature was left uncensored.

Real Talk: Mayart's little guilt trip plea to Taki to let Makie die and protect him is complete bullshit. Which will be explain later.

Real Talk: When these Black World women say "come inside my body" they mean that literally. 

Hit: *Taki punches one of  Shadow's henchmen so hard that he literally knocks the guy's head off.* I don't care if the anime doesn't explain how that was too damn awesome.

Miss: But I have to asked how weak are these Black World guys if they're easily beaten by this one normal guy? Makie is one thing because she's from the Black World but what makes Taki so special?

Hit: Oh shit, Shadow's got Guyver/Kars elbow blades.

Real Talk: Taki getting chew out by his boss for abandoning Mayart is complete bullshit which again I'll explain why later.

Hit: *Taki and Makie making out in some church with a blue hue in the scene.* Suddenly I'm getting Lifeforce flashbacks.

Miss: The anime never once mentioned that Mayart's some powerful psychic. So with that said, if he's such a powerful psychic then why would he need bodyguards? That's like sending secret services to protect Superman, it's freaking pointless and retarded.

Miss: So it's revealed that Mayart was sent to protect Taki and Makie due to two of them being compatible of having children. Which the organizations of the human world and the Black World have been planning for thousands of years. Now if that's the case why the fake bodyguard assignment especially with the possibility of one or both of them would end up?   

Miss: If making an human/Black World offspring is so important why not have Taki and Makie agree to some artificial inseminations? Was banking on these two to eventually hook up and fuck while in dangerous situations really the smartest way to go?    

Miss: And since the whole bodyguard assignment was bullshit what was with Mayart grilling Taki to forget about saving Makie earlier, reverse psychiatry?  

Hit: The fight between Mayart and Shadow is pretty intense, there's even a scene where Shadow gets a large crucifix stabbed to his face. 

Hit: Shadow turns into a proto-Resident Evil Tyrant, makes wonder if Capcom got their inspiration from this anime?

Miss: Apparently getting knocked-up makes Makie powerful enough to kill proto-Tyrant Shadow in one strike. That's not some plot convenience bullshit at all.
