"Wicked City" is a tedious anime film, vaunted for its heavy sex and violence but not worth watching for either.
The "story" is something about a demon world that co-exists, unnoticed, with humans. If this had been made in the 21st century, or even a bit before, it would be about a teenage boy who has a chance encounter with a demon that forcing him to cross over to the other side, and then cope with life in that world. You can also do the same thing with sexy girls and huge stomping robots - that, my friends, is 99% of anime and manga.
Anyway, anime had a short-lived fascination with the typical dull hero type in the '80s and early '90s, and "Wicked City" has an example of that in its bland protagonist. The situation is not helped in the English dub where he has the most generic voice imaginable.
So, to get to the only reasons anyone has heard of this anime: how much sex and violence does it have?
It's really not that violent. If you're used to '80s/'90s anime OVAs and films, you've seen material a million times worse than this: there's very little in the way of blood and guts.
And the sex? Well, it does deliver in that regard, but in a world with so many free hentai streaming services, why waste your time? It's not particularly erotic or interesting.
