"Officer your Japanese isn't very good. You said 'exterminate' didn't you mean 'arrest'?
"No."
Wild 7 has a simple premise. The police are so screwed they've hired criminals to be the police, and those criminals are doing a damn good job. Japanese motorcycle culture meets reformed criminals overcoming even worse criminals and coming out on top. To hell with the chain of command, these guys know the score.
Each character has very obvious character traits to reflect their criminal backgrounds. but they do evolve and get better. Totally not-Dr. Eggman ends up being one of the most supportive criminals.
If you like an anime where criminals act like good guys by being the worst people imaginable you'll like this.

Watched in June 2023.
Usually I enjoy older anime because it has a different humor and tone to it. That's why I decided to give Wild 7 I try.
However I just struggled so hard to stay awake during the first episode. This anime is really really terrible, and I absolutely mean it. It has poor animation that flows sluggishly, the frames are choppy and the color palette shows how old it is. When the cars move around, it looks like there are at least 10 frames missing in between shots. The motorcycles aren't much better and they are animated about the same. For an action enemy it doesn't look good at all.
The gore and brutality I expected were very present in the action sequences. It is so poorly drawn that it looks more cartoonish than gory. For an anime that was advertised for its brutalit…

I'm going to keep this review short and to the point, just like the anime itself.
Wild 7 is a very fun anime to watch, it's definitely not extraordinary, but what it does, it succeeds in pretty well.
The story, albeit it seems rushed, was interesting enough to glue my eyes to the screen, to see how it would all turn out in the end, and oh boy was it worth it. All the main characters had a certain charm to them, that really made them entertaining, and seeing them interact with each other, and seeing the way they fought, were some of the highlights of this OVA.
This anime is very gory and violent, almost absurdly violent at points, but that's exactly what makes it so much fun to watch. Classic violent "gar" anime that really needs some more attention, stuff like this can be rare to find in n…

In the ongoing search for those profanely violent early 90s animes (specifically the extreme justice police action drama subgenre), I stumbled upon this gem that few have ever heard of. Having watched the guilty pleasures that were Angel Cop, Mad Bull 34, and Cyber City Oedo, this seem to fit in with that era and criteria so I knew I had to give it a try.
To my surprise, while I indulged in the aforementioned shows for their grindhouse-esque camp factor (loaded with grotesque outbursts of violence strung together by juvenile plot lines and bewildering dialogue), Wild 7 managed to transcended my low expectations and rise above its own limitations. Wild 7 doesn't have the striking visual imagery of Cyber City, the sheer brutality of Mad Bull, nor the constant unintentional hilarity of Ange…

I just really like the gore and violence in these older animes. This one has all the profanity, graphic violence, gorey head bashing and generally over the top style that reminds me of MadBull 34. Both are very similiar and I wish both would have continued their series'. Eng dub isn't very good, but it adds to it's charm the same way the eng dub of Fist of the North Star does. Story isn't particularly engaging, but I didn't watch it for the story. It's good, but the violence and graphic adult nature of it is why I liked it. Not as funny as MadBull 34, but it had it's moments. It's more of a movie than 2 episodes. It's pretty wide open at the end, but I think it led into the 13 ep tv series that I cannot find on dvd. This was hard to find on dvd, but I managed and for only $10.00. It was we…
