- Spider-demon women and cheesy 80's synth? Yup, it's got to be anime. SPECIAL NOTE: This review contains footage that has been linked to causing seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy. Viewer discretion is advised. SEE MORE AT www.benthesage....

Not going to lie watching Wicked City was like witnessing childbirth for the first time: A horrifically disgusting yet strangely beautiful process ^^
+Nine PointO I've never seen what's beautiful with childbirth. After the "horrifically disgusting" part, you get a wrinkly bald red little demon with a mouth all over the face, constantly screaming.
... then again, I'm not so much a baby person. XP
Nine PointO im kinda surprised there wasn't a tentacle monster that pulled a species 2 where the women exploded after getting impregnated (unsurprisingly there is a hentai like that i have seen scenes of it but i don't know what it's called could someone tell me what it's called or who directed it so I can fap to it)
@NarutoDipShit haha says the dingbat with the username: "NarutoDipShit", oh the irony..
its in the hospital scene in urotsukidoji, try to get the uncensored version or you´ll be sad ;)

Anime Ultra Violence is something that should return.
OH GOD NO.
Gappy The Eighth JoJo
*YES.
*Suddenly Hellsing Ultimate*
matt fahringer Yes, it should.
matt fahringer Bite me
I like this anime unironically. It actually stands out more when compared with the strictly formulaic anime nowadays. Plus, the noir atmosphere is fantastic. My one big change is I would have had Taki and Maki be Black Guard partners for a longer time.
The dub is surprisingly good.
GunvorPlays its just very bizarre
It even has the guy who did the voice for the Spanish dub of James Bond. Look up 'David Povall doblaje wiki'. He plays the Hotel Concierge here.
I just watched Wicked City and enjoyed the hell out of it.
18 years later and I finally find out WTF it was I watched on TV all those years ago. hah.
I love "STUPIDLY POWERFUL RECOIL GUN." It seems really comedic.
Believe it not, there was another one in the Angel Cop anime.
Wicked City was dubbed distributed by Streamline Pictures and Orion videos originally. Urban vision bought the distribution right in North America when Carl Macek died.
Chipicus S Exactly. There's also a another dub of it produced in the same year but only released there by Manga UK.
Yeah but this was from that very special time in the late 80s early 90s when "Japanimation" was being sold purely on the fact it was ultra violent. Does anyone else remember those commercials from Urban Vision they had on at like 3am that were nothing but a rapid fire series of bloodsprays and monster mutations and teasing fanservice shots? That was what it was all about.
I like all of Yoshiaki Kawajiri's movies. Especially Wicked City and Demon City Shinjuku.
In terms of style, it's a great horror anime, generous in cheese and cool. Alas, the flaws presented in this video (like the asspulls) drag it down. More care put into the plotline instead of sex shock factor would have made this a B-list classic of the genre. Still, it's very good to me.
what asspull? have you even seen Wicked City? Bennett guy LIED through his teeth about the story to imply there was a plot hole where there absolutely wasn't one. JUST HAVING THEM FUCK WASN'T ENOUGH - THERE HAD TO BE A SPIRITUAL CONNECTION. THE OLD MAN EXPLAINS THIS.
He neve complained about the sex scen buster, and not the story still heavily flawed.
That spider woman looks EXACTLY like Arachne from Shin Megami Tensei
If she’s supposed to be a spider, then why does she only have 4 legs? That’s half of the number of legs that spiders have!🕷
I know it's not Linkara but............
12:18 'I am a man!!!!!!!!!!!'
This movie is awesome. Dont let Ben talk this down for you.
:/ Why not just suggest others to watch it themselves and let them have their own opinions? Don't shut down Bennet's views like he's hating on it for no reason. Let's not forget, his videos are mainly for entertainment mixed with a little satire. Most review channels are like this. Just like nostalgia critic, you shouldn't take what they say literally
"Don't shut down Bennet's views like he's hating on it for no reason" HE LIED ABOUT THE STORY TO CONVINCE YOU IT'S BAD. the old man specifically explains that in order for the spiritual connection to form, THEY HAD TO FALL IN LOVE. JUST FUCKING WASN'T ENOUGH. of course "the power of love" is over the top and silly but 1. this is a silly fun movie and 2. that wasn't his criticism at all.
if you have to lie about anime classics to make them look bad, you're a terrible reviewer and your opinions are not valid.
where did he lie?
the old guy explained why he didn't tell them 'just fuck and be done with it'; it was a ritualistic thing where they had to build a spiritual connection by falling in love. just having sex would not have worked. he completely skipped this & said "I WANTED to like this but this plot hole was too much!"
ok but leaving out info and lying arent the same thing, and in either case the point still stands that telling them they where gonna have to be together is far less convoluted
So what would they have done if the guy had decided to abandon her so he could finish the mission of protecting the old guy?
That aint the kind of guy Taki is.
I think that's kind of the idea...yes, telling them would be faster, but then the result child would be just a forced messiah created by the union of these two, just because they had to...instead, they grow to like and love each other (in a pretty rushed way no doubt), showing that the kind of connection required between the two species is possible...
capthavic he would have broken rule number two of manhood never abandon anyone especially woman in distress even if said woman is capable of handling her self and you have to go through an army to do it
Plenty of guys have broken dion.
OH MY GOD IT'S HAPPOSAI, RUN!
You know there was a live action adaption made, the sex is a lot more tamer but it has a completely different plot and it's more weirder there's this one scene where some guy has s3x with a pinball machine
And it came from Hong Kong, no less.
The "common etiquette" line is either funnier or harsher given all the sexual misconduct allegations coming out this year.
Hey if Master Roshi says it's the norm then it's cool right?
@@gaminggoof1542 No......no it’s not...
Oh, so that's where Perturbator's sample is from.
Which song?
"Dude just make a porno is not like there isn't an audience for it!"
My reaction to every ecchi since Queens Blade ever lol
Freakin' Mayart! He's like if Master Roshi and Yoda did a fusion technique!
fun fact, this and genocyber were the first two anime i was introduced to, thanks to my anime loving father who would rent stuff from the local video store in the 90's after admiring the art, but not the maturity rating, luckily i discovered much more tame anime like dbz, yu yu hakusho and ruroni kenshin after the fact otherwise i may not have watched more, cause this shit scarred me for life as a child
4:51 "damn i forgot to bring my raid... great.. they'll multiply"
This movie was INSANE.
I KNEW IT, I THOUGHT IT REMINDED ME OF NINJA SCROLL :D Also, this is a great movie. Gives you what you, a action, sex, violence, love story, and great music and visuals in general :)
Looking at the title, I thought the bad guy was going to be the Apple Man. (Obscure reference)
did you dub in a wet fart at 4:14 or was that just really bad foley?
+Min Lungelow I was wandering that as well.
I think that's the bed, but it's been forever since I've seen this.
I remember hearing the opening theme of that show and thinking "nope, not gonna waste my time on that one". Seems like I made a good decision there.
This was really well animated despite how sick the content was- even for hentai.
Oh, damn. I remember a classmate showing me this anime when I was 12 years old or so. It was so awkward, LOL.
I swear I heard a fart sound effect at 4:07.
Probably a queef
Manga UK recently released this in a double pack with
Demon City Shinjuku. I just watched it and yeah, it's still insane, but now its in glorious HD! Thumbs up.
Please review Cyber City Oedo, made by the same director. It was the first anime I've seen.
AMEN!
Yes I was just about to ask this too!
Volo I still watch that! perfection
Jerky Midget looks like Happosai if he actually grew a bit. Agreed?
Oh god, Happosai's long-lost brother...I swear, look at him, arguably the same design (a short inhuman-looking human with a fringe of hair and a tweedy moustache and EXTREMELY perverted) . The only difference is that he's much big-eh....taller.
That final plot twist came right the hell out of nowhere.
Kinda, but it's not as bad as he makes it out to be. He said they neded to love each other, that would've failed if he told them so it's not a plothole
@@abdularabu2673 it's also a massive gamble as well. Their is no assurance they would have fallen in love either by not telling them.
It makes Mayart seem like an asshole because it makes it look like Macie/ Annie Lennox being repeatedly molested and raped was part of his plan.
7:17 The pervy old guy from Ranma1/2?
Cynical Cthulhu you mean sensei happosai
Hey Sage I love man but the Spawn series was awesome in every sense of the word.
such a good anime, i had this on a pirated VHS tape with no dub, and i don't speak japanese, but stuff like this transcends language.
8:30 - I called that gun the noise krickit the first time I saw it.
8:26 funny how angel cop couldn't do this recoil thing more faithfully
6:59 - 7:02 I LOVE that little bit of animation. I don't know why, but I really really do.
i like this one. it is cheesy, but it has this 80ies grindy noire feel to it...not half bad compared to some of the other shit that came from this period. and the soundtrack is fucking awesome, with the atonal piano and so
So I've been listening to this musician called Perturbator who does 80's synth music with a sort of horror/cyberpunk movie style. And in one of the songs they sampled the opening narration of Wicked City at the beginning. It was pretty funny to notice.
AkuTenshiiZero Which song?
@@L1701I Am The Night
Ive read the book. Trust me this is about 80% accurate to the story.
If you want it in a nutshell it's Lupin the Third if Lupin pulled a tenchi and was a worthless sack of nothing right until it was time for the action scene, Jigen, Goemon, and Fujiko were turned into rejects from a hentai, Zenagata was a immortal, and instead of being clever if improbable setups the grand thefts were things like "oh I just happened to have a multi angle 3D hologram projector up my ass to distract the guards and used a sonic screwdriver to open the safe."
The last minutes of this movie is an entire (wait what?)moment lol
You know, my friends and I are just about to start a game of Hunter: The Vigil, a humans vs. the assorted critters of the night RPG, and out GM was asking us if we could suggest movies she could watch to get her in the right headspace. Well since the Blackguards in this movie are sorta monster hunters I said I'd loan her my copy before another friends literaly shouted "NO!" when asked why: "Spider Vagina" that's it, and I accepted that answer.
It's not like there isn't a "naughty-ence" (an audience)!
I thought Censor Kaiser was diving at Bennett in the thumbnail
What I learned from this movie never pick up strange women in bars.
same
You look like you don't have to worry about that.
When the guy is internally monologuing when the woman goes down on him, he sounds like Seymour Skinner
URBAN VISION rip!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Wicket City!
He has made a video about Urotsukidoji and it will ever only be available on his website for obvious reasons.
I love that you use the Manga Entertainment KMFDM intros. I loved them when I was a kid and they introduced me to epic industrial music.
12:15 Most epic headshot.
but what test it was their genetics they needed they could do it till she's knocked up so once, then never have to see each other again.
love how he talks shit about him doing spawn and then when he actually reviews it he says the first half was good cmon dude dont contradict yourself with a continuity fail
I think I would only watch wicked city solely for the action bits :)
@16:10 Actually, I'm pretty sure sexual reproduction has more to do with meiosis. At least that's sex cell division. The mitosis comes after the sperm and egg join.
God I love this intro...
1:28 Which name of this clip came from?
... *stares at my bowl of beef stew and then puts it in the fridge before I throw up*
I didn't The Sage to tell me that Wicked City sucks, I found out the hard way years ago.
Can anyone place the music in the credits? It sounds nice but I don't know what it is/where it's from.
Funny thing about life is that I found this at a Barnes and novel next to a bunch of hentai under the anime genre
MY EYES!...-looks at recommended video list...and saw the very same image- MY EYES!
When are you gonna dissect the live action version of this film, Sage?
I said 'bullshit-reasoning'. Do you really think it's worth thinking about it further than that?
Bennett looked a lot healthier in this video.
This is in my top ten anime .This IMHO is what all anime should be like
Sorry.... you do not like the Spawn Cartoon because of a continuity fail? The cartoon is awesome... seriously.
He actually did an in depth review of the show. I suggest you check it out for more detail.
IIRC he liked the first 2 seasons. In general he liked the setup but felt the series went nowhere in the end.
Fabian Saam I know i have OCD and I didn't even notice that what I didn't like about the show was how long it took spawn aka al Simmons to do something heroic shit if I had superpowers like his i'd be out busting heads batman style
I felt like spawn have enough fighting or action for me it was kinda slow
Bingo, which lead to the pre-pokemon anime community getting some bad rap. My high school guidance councilor honestly freaked out when she heard I watched anime because she had this idea it was all hyperviolent pornography and animated snuff films.
I think I almost cried alone just from seeing that image of the man naked! Aaaaah!!
0:49 FaLlEn By ThE wEsTsSsIdE
The English dub was way off the actual scripts, Wicked City is A must-watch in Japanese only.
A good movie to watch absolutely plastered as you will have a fun time
Man, that looks terrifying and I thought ghost in the shell was intense
Jonah Hill: Is it? Is it compelling me Niels?
TRIGGER WARNING!!!
Here's a question I have about the ending of this film.
In the pregnancy announcement, what if it turned out that he was not the father?! You know she was successfully gang raped in an earlier scene in the film by multiple guys of her own species. What if those guys destroyed the little guy's plans in helping making a hybrid and ruined everything?!
She became stronger just after having seggs with human guy nd she's demon so can't be impregnated by force
5:07 And known to the boss enough to pass for casual workplace banter?
8:34 Like The Noisy Cricket from Men In Black
18:27 Never heard the phrase "queef out a baby", but I await the right opportunity to use that.
19:20 "The power of Christ compels you, BITCH!"
! 1st heard of this movie from Brandon's Cult Movie Reviews, so I had to watch Bennett's take on it. Still funny.
I wonder how much anime Perturbator watches.
The plot twist is literally the exact same as that Overfiend thing from your crappy movie porno review. This movie has the SAME plot as a porno
When watching anime, you learn not to judge it by your own standards, you sometimes have to put your logical brain in the other room and just switch your creative brain into overdrive.
To watch anime means not to take things too seriously.
PLEASE, PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME THE NAME OF THE ANIME AT 1:27!! I REALLY WANT TO KNOW THE NAME OF IT! PLEASE!!!
@BennettTheSage, in the end fid you just say that the anime movie is just awful or is it in the rating of okay and decent? I am confused.
Oh the Young n Dumb mocking a Classic Anime that was one of the few films good enough to keep Anime alive in Western underground culture until it became mainstream is just the opposite of Cool.
The uk dub is much better and the actors are great. We'll worth hunting that one down.
Jon Pugh True dat. I always come across the Streamline dub in any search and it's a little tiresome. It's time the UK dub should also get some recognition.
This movie would've been better had Taki just said "Yes".
huh the Rock Lee character in Naruto must be based on this guy.
Why aren't you refering to the characters by their actual names?
as far as I remember he never did so in any review, it's some sort of running gag.
And how they would say things like "This makes Blade Runner look like Disney World".
I heard that this anime is a cult classic. It had amazing animation, especially for the time, the action was awesome, and it captured the horror element perfectly. But, the ending ruined it for me because it felt rushed, messy, and I hated the fact that they threw in a love story.
11:13 "We're human"? Then what excuse do you have for those ears, dude?! O.o Those are NOT human ears.
Plus he's nearly 200 years old. And they never how he was able to live so long.
14:38. That's Arachne from MegaTen. I'm kinda pissed, since it seems the design was taken from Wicked City of all places. On the other hand, it IS a story about demons, so I'll grudgingly say it could be worse.
What are the names of animes in the intro? Especially the ones with the guys screaming of anger and pain.
so basically that tiny old demon guy...is octa?
1:47
Wicked City is not a porn? I beg to differ, Sage.
Why is everything tinted blue in this anime?
9:26 the censor briefly failed!
