As a film lover, I try not to discriminate animated films from live action films. They should not be segregated. No more so than black and white movies need their own section. If a movie is Drama, then it should be under Drama regardless whether or not it's animated, or black and white. See my point? So then I view anime films, as any other film. It's animation itself is critique-able like special effects in a live action movie. Same thing to me. So now that's out of the way- I came across Wicked City, which came out in 1987 (if I remember right) by way of this wonderful little invention called the world wide web. No longer is one relegated to bargain bin diving to search for sleazy little late-nite gems like this. It's all right at our finger tips.
