Baio hantâ

It's quite extreme for me how this fil is.

I really like the art and animation, it's high quality and very enjoyable.

In the other hand the story and character writing is so bad and cringe that is hard to watch.

I honestly don't know how it has so many positive reviews.

The rape aspect is very unnecessary and quite cliché for any 80s and 90s Japanese anime, and I´ve started to get really tired f it, as I've been discovering quite a few old animes lately.

This one in particular feels unnecessarily perverted.

The main characters are as bland as they can get, in their design and their dialogue.

There's nothing else at all I could redeem from this film besides the quality of the animation, to the point that it was a drag to watch even with its very short run time.

The Guyver ('80s) and Wicked City are similar and do manage to hold my attention. This could've been a 20-minute episode.

This anime is from the same man (Yoshiaki Kawajiri) who created Ninja Scroll and Wicked City. Bio Hunter is a very well written movie with some decent action. It seems to run a little short almost as if they didn't spend enough time developing the characters. But, in any case if you like anime then this won't disappoint you.

The wildly creative genius behind 'Ninja Scroll' & 'Vampire Hunter D' vividly unleashes another boldly imagined,dopamine-drenched, supernaturally stimulating, vividly animated B-horror masterclass! The ferociously flesh-flaying, devilishly demented 'Bio Hunter' is a menacingly mischievous, monstrously twisted, hate-fuelled horror hybrid of sinister scientific maleficence run amok! Can the uncommonly brave demon dispatching Bio-Hunters put a stop to the 'Demon Virus'? This genome-altering, deliriously death-dealing, anthropoid annihilating plague that is fatally perverting the populace into gratuitously gore-guzzling, grimly gallivanting ghouls??? Once again, Yûzô Satô's signature hyper-kinetic style proves heroically hectic, far from antiseptic, and frequently apocalyptic, 'Bio Hunter' will nuke your nerves, liquidate your loins, vaporize your viscera, and splatter your grey matter into lifeless brain batter! Hunt down this madly mutated midnight movie masterpiece if you dare!!!!!!

'Maestro, Yûzô Satô's exhilaratingly blood-spattered anime classic 'Bio Hunter' abounds excitingly with doomy, Neo-noir shadowed terrors! Satô creates a fascinatingly lurid realm of eerie, meta-mythical madness, an apocalyptic nightmare of preternaturally psychotronic Psi-Warfare!

I remember owning this 1995 Anime on VHS tape back in the day, and thus as I had the opportunity to sit down here in 2023 and watch it again digitally, of course I so. However, I have to admit that I had forgotten entirely about the storyline of this Anime, I only remembered it by its title.

The storyline in "Baio Hantâ" (aka "Bio Hunter") was quite good. It is a storyline for a mature audience, given the horror elements and the whole concept of the plot. So I think writers Fujihiko Hosono, Yoshiaki Kawajiri and Naoko Takahashi put together something quite good back then.

Visually then "Baio Hantâ" is adequately holding up still today, though I wasn't overly keen on the way that the faces were drawn in general. But that was a minor detail really. The art style was good and the animation was good.

I sat through an English dubbed version, both back in the late 1990s and again here in 2023. I am not overly keen on dubbing, as I prefer the original language to whatever I am watching. But the voice acting in the dubbing was adequate here, which counted for something.

"Baio Hantâ" is definitely well-worth checking out if you enjoy horror-laced entertainment.

My rating of "Baio Hantâ" lands on a six out of ten stars.
