Baio hantâ

Its been awhile since I have been impressed with an anime storyline. Usually its the visuals that have to grab me first. Biohunter did both. I was really impressed with the storyline, the visuals, and how well everything just flowed and above all kept my attention. I really liked the idea of one of the creatures being torn between his human self and his dark other half and how it was in his nature to try and save his friends from this "virus". Is there a Biohunter II??

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 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!

This is definitely a bit of an overlooked anime. Its not the best of its kind, but definitely worth seeing for fans of both Kawajiri and this style of animation (which basically is him when you boil it down). If you liked any other of Kawajiri's projects you should be able to get into this too. I would place it close to wicked city, Cyber city oedo 808 and goku midnight eye, both style-wise and in its general mood. But you will find some more general elements in it as well. I find it better than wicked city almost as good as goku & cyber city The story is pretty straightforward, and not incredibly complex, but still it works well with he overall dark mood and atmosphere of the film. Soundtrack is imo incredible and well-fitting with the dark animations, characters are also good considering the shortness of it all..and very importantly to me the dialogue isn't too cheesy (from subtitles at least, i don't know Japanese). It doesn't really bother me that it only runs short of an hour, cause it makes it more dynamic i think.

Overall i say 7 out of 10 for this kind of anime

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.
