Avis à la une
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.
'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!
Of course, the other half of the equation is the writing, Kawajiri Yoshiaki's adaptation of Hosono Fujihiko's manga. Here, too, however, I find the picture to be a great success, for the tale on hand is highly engaging, absorbing, and satisfying, if also plainly disturbing. Even over the abbreviated runtime of sixty minutes a gratifying amount of careful minutiae was poured into the narrative and scene writing to round out a story of horror, science fiction, and fantasy: demonic possession in the form of a virus, monstrous transformations, easy infection and corruption in halls of power, and loose, covert organizations that fight the terrors of the night. Albeit in a different manner, there's really just as much detail in the writing as there is in the animation; just as much to the point, diminutive though the length may be, the plot is complete and compelling. One does wish, perhaps, that the feature were longer, expanded upon so as to provide more thrills, even more action and horror, and more of the ghastly creature designs that make this the minor gem it is - but even at that the sum total is marvelously, darkly fun and invigorating, exactly what we want out of such genre fare. 'Bio hunter' is succinct and concise, and there's a wisdom in that, too.
For the nature of the material and the sheer intensity of the violence this won't be for everyone, but anyone with an appreciation for horror is sure to have a blast. It's wild, outright grotesque, and borderline exploitative, but also superbly animated and written, and all around fantastic. It's not anything one needs to go out of their way to see, but if this is the type of movie that's up your alley and you do have an opportunity to watch, at only one hour long 'Bio hunter' is well worth checking out.
Overall i say 7 out of 10 for this kind of anime

Koshigaya: Very funny. It's not me eating the food, it's that damn thing inside me.
Komada: An unusual consumption of protein and iron. Classic symptoms of a person who's been infected.
Koshigaya: Don't look at me like that. I'm not a guinea pig.
