Rating:  - Essential classic anime!!!
"The Professional: Golgo 13" is the best anime I have ever seen. This came out in 1983, which was between "Fist of the Northstar" and "Vampire Hunter D". The plot is so sophisticated that you will forget you are watching an animated feature. It is about a professional assassin codenamed "Golgo 13", who is trying to survive an onslaught of attacks from the CIA, FBI, and the Pentagon, not knowing who is behind them. He also has to go up against a repusive, biologically-engineered mutant called Snake. ... Read More
Rating: - Timeless Classic
This movie was and continues to be my favorite movie of all time. I like all types of movies and its kinda odd that my favorite happens to be a japanese animation film. From beginning to end, the professional GOLGO 13 is an action plot twist full of surprises. Masterfully done with impressive english voice talents and an upbeat soundtrack, the movie is sure to keep adult audiences entertained (If you don't mind brief depictions of graphic sex.) My only gripe is its unavailability on DVD and VHS copies ... Read More
Rating: - An Underrated Classic
I consider "The Professional: Golgo 13" to be the "Usual Suspects" of anime. It has a developed characters, a fascinating storyline, good action, and a kick-in-the-butt surprise ending. I was blown away by this the first time I watched it, and watched it five times in one night because I was so impressed. The minute I saw a video copy of it at Suncoast I bought it without another thought.
The opening scene of the film shows Duke Torgo (aka Golgo 13) killing the son of a wealthy oil tycoon. Using ... Read More
Rating:  - Not very good
Plot is OK. I live in San Francisco but still I don't mind the animation quality nor reality of location (San francisco as well as Italy etc). But I hate its excessive Sex (and rape too) and Violence. All pointless. There are so many better animations out there. Why bother? Do not waste your time and money.
Rating: - One of the first anime films...
This is an anime classic, with lots of action and an interesting storyline. It had some very good graphics for its time! The film focuses on a killer named Duke Togo, code named Golgo 13, who one of the trained proffesionals that works as a hitman. It has at least 10 F-bombs, and that's okay. The violence is brutal, and there is nudity. The animation was [bad], though... But it must have been amazing to see 20 years ago. Anyway, it was a great action/thriller.
