The King of Minami

About This Movie

So, 'The King of Minami' is quite the interesting entry from '93. It starts off with this gritty vibe, really captures the essence of the black market scene. Ginjiro Manda, the lead, has this compelling duality - he's both feared and, in some way, sympathetic. The animation style is pretty unique for its time, blending traditional hand-drawn techniques with a modern edge that gives it a certain rawness. The pacing ebbs and flows nicely, allowing you to sink into the dark alleyways of Minami. There's something about the way it explores ambition and morality through Ryuichi Sakagami’s journey that really sticks with you, making it more than just your average OVAs of the era.
