Sentai Filmworks Get Digital License Rights to ‘Wicked City’ Anime

Sentai Filmworks recently announced this week that they have acquired digital rights to the Wicked City anime for the following regions: United States, Canada, and Mexico. The film is only available for release in “select digital outlets’.

A Blu-Ray Disc will also be released by Discotek on September 29. The company also released the film in DVD in 2016 in original Japanese language with English subtitles as well as in English Dub.

Sentai Filmworks describes the film:

Beyond the boundaries of our ordinary existence lies a dark and dreadful parallel world where demons dwell and humans dare not tread. For centuries, peace has existed between our world and theirs. To preserve that fragile balance and to ensure the survival of humankind, a new deal must be brokered, but dark and powerful forces lust to destroy the accord. When a militant group rises from the shadows, two elite agents are mobilized to counter the destructive forces and preserve the balance of our universe.

About Wicked City (as described by MAL)

There is Earth, our familiar world, and then there is the Black World, a parallel dimension that very few people are aware of. For centuries, a pact between the two worlds has been observed to maintain peace, and terms must be negotiated and renewed soon to continue relative harmony.

This time around, there is a militant faction that will stop at nothing to prevent the signing of a new treaty for inter-dimensional peace. Two agents of the elite organization known as the Black guards—defenders of the balance between the two worlds—are charged with ensuring the success of the treaty.

Director Yoshiaki Kawajiri (Ninja Scroll) blends stylish eroticism, graphic horror and pulse-pounding action as these two race to consummate the peace treaty in time.
