anyone out there who has not seen this movie is slipping this is how manga should be done ie ninja scroll fist of the north star violence jack and md geist
I saw this movie when i was 14 about sixteen years ago after being impressed by Akira, i became a Kawajari fan since. This has been one of my fave animated movies of all time.
Man...This was the golden age of pre-DVD Anime. Golgo 13, both Queen Bee and The Professional, Project A-ko, Vampire Hunter D, Record of Lodoss War, Iria, Ghost in The Shell, Patlabor and Bubblegum Crisis are all classics, along with this classic, Wicked City.
This movie owns. Forget Bleach, Naruto, One Piece or other stuff you see today. This movie kicks their butts with its total awesomness. A must see for every anime fan out there.
@tyrlena I'd say anything by Satoshi Hino ie Paprika, Perfect Blue and Paranoia Agent. Also I recommend X1999, Black Lagoon, Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop and if you like mecha animes, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Other than that, another classic: Dagger of Kamui
Kawajiri is sick ... His films are good, probably some of the best examples of animated film, but damn, out of the other pioneers like Oshii, Anno, Otomo, Miyazaki, Rintaro,etc. This guy is detailed and creates good imagery, but damn, does everything need to explode apart?
you people don't get it; the Japanese anime industry targets different audiences because in Japan its "okay" for adults to watch "cartoons." Here's the thing though; a Japanese adult will likely watch Golgo 13, but, they will not watch Hamtaro or Pokemon. Want to know what age group its aimed at? Just look at the ages of the leading characters. Inuyasha, obviously enough, is aimed at middle school teens because Kagome and Inuyasha are 15 and 17.
isnt this same director as ninja scroll? all his movies come liek THIS close to giving me a heart attack no matter how many times i watch them. THis close. Hot female heros too. 11/10
One of my favorite animations of all time. They don't make them with such detail and quality like that anymore. Even the English dubbing was a decent production!
why can't all animated movies be like this? i think i've loved every movie of kawajiri's. you know he's doing batman??? it's gonna be out july 8th. that's gonna be amazing.
This trailer is great. The music, narration, pacing of the cuts and the clips used, all really make me want to watch this.

What? No Akira, Princess Mononoke and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (aka Warriors of the Wind)? remember those.

I saw this film before anime became main-stream. Today most of the anime is garbage. I miss the good old days.

@tyrlena Right on sista! Classic animes rule high over modern ones. Still there are some good stuff but it's becoming rarer and rarer.
