Summary: 4 Stars
In a world of humans which we live in and a dimension called The Black World run by bizarre shape-shifting beings whom have been secretly living with each other's sides for a thousand years. There has been peace between the two worlds yet it has been broken as a group of shapeshifting cretins called The Radicals from the opposite side start to make bizarre murders, there has been an assigned treaty for inter-dimensional peace between both worlds yet The Radicals wants to prevent that from happening. Top agent Taki whom happens to be your basic human agent is joined with beautiul black world agent Makie who can make amazing laser-like claws at will for weapons have a duty to protect a 200 year old peacekeeper named Giuseppi Mayart from assassins. Only one problem, Mayart is just a stubborn old sex crazed dude and he is the only one that can make peace between both worlds but how can can both Makie and Taki protect this man from the Radicals?
Bizarre and exciting 1987 Japanese animated horror/sci-fi/fantasy flick from the director of "Ninja Scroll" known as Yoshiaki Kawajiri is one of the most unusual and overlooked anime movies around. The animation is very good, the storyline is kind of complicated and is loaded with nudity, sex, gory violence and some humor as well. Makie is simply a gorgeous anime character guaranteed to arouse some anime fanboys, it's nowhere as excellent as Kawajiri's "Ninja Scroll" or "Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust" for that matter but it's still an enjoyable and nasty bit of Japanese animation.
This DVD has good picture and sound quuality with both English language and Japanese language with English Subtitle audio. The extras include trailers to this and other Urban Vision anime, biographies of the characters, interview with the director and Weblink.
