Angel's Anime Rating Guide

On the SyFy Channel , around the time that I noticed Alien News Desk , I also happened to notice Happy! ... Nick Sax is a corrupt, intoxicated, ex-cop turned hit man who is adrift in a twilight world of casual murder, soulless sex, and betrayal. After a hit goes wrong, Nick finds a bullet in his side, the cops and the mob on his tail, and a monstrous killer on the loose. But his world is about to be changed forever by a tiny, imaginary, blue-winged horse with a relentlessly positive attitude named Happy. On their journey, they must contend with a laundry list of enemies including angry mobsters, ex-mistresses, ex-wives, and one very bad Santa. Although, unicorns and rainbow sprinkles abound in Happy! , the younger unicorn fans among us should definitely stay away. Happy! is a dark comedy that follows Nick Sax as he kills his way through the seedy underbelly of the criminal underworld in an effort to rescue a young girl kidnapped by a deranged Santa. Throughout Happy! , there are co...

After revisiting Ralph Bakshi's version of Lord of the Rings , I decided to look into another Ralph Bakshi animation -- Spicy City . According to Wikipedia ... Spicy City was an animated television series which was created by Ralph Bakshi for HBO. The plot was described as a science fiction anthology series set in a futuristic city with a seamy side. Spicy City premiered in July 1997, beating South Park to television by over a month and becoming the first "adults only" cartoon series and lasted for one season which consisted of six episodes. The series does exhibit some risque elements and it is certainly not suitable for the younger animation fans, but, even after more than a decade, the quality of the stories and the animation still manage to hold up reasonably well. I had a handful of episodes from the original HBO broadcast preserved in the archive and for the episodes that I didn't already have, YouTube came through for me, yet again. I would certainly purcha...
