The folks at Tubi TV have added a really great classic movie from the sex and violence days of anime with the arrival of the Wicked City anime feature film. It’s presented in its English dubbed form and is available without any login or restrictions. You can find the series page here.
Check out our review of the film and of the Black Guard novel.
The film was originally released in 1987 directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiro, who also served as the character designer. The film is based on the novels from Hideyuki Kikuchi that began in 1985.
Plot concept: There is Earth, our familiar world, and then there is the Black World, a parallel dimension that very few people are aware of. For centuries, a pact between the two worlds has been observed to maintain peace, and terms must be negotiated and renewed soon to continue relative harmony.
This time around, there is a militant faction that will stop at nothing to prevent the signing of a new treaty for inter-dimensional peace. Two agents of the elite organization known as the Black Guards — defenders of the balance between the two worlds—are charged with ensuring the success of the treaty.
