Spicy City is an American adult animated erotic cyberpunk television series created by Ralph Bakshi for HBO. It premiered on July 11, 1997, and ended on August 22, 1997, with a total of 6 episodes over the course of 1 season.
The series is an anthology, similar to television programs such as The Twilight Zone and Tales from the Crypt, with each episode set in a futuristic city with a steamy side.
The show was the first of two adult animated series to air on HBO in the same year, and it served as an anthology series.
The plot was described as a science fiction anthology series set in a futuristic city with a steamy side, and each episode is introduced by Raven, a nightclub hostess who also makes brief appearances in the tales.
The series was created by Ralph Bakshi, who is also known for his work on Fritz the Cat and Cool World.
The show was an anthology series, along the lines of Tales from the Crypt, but with a sexier, animated host: Raven, voiced by Michelle Phillips.
The series was one of the first American animated TV shows made strictly for adults, predating South Park by one month.
Despite critical reaction being mixed and largely unfavorable, Spicy City received acceptable ratings.
The series was cancelled after one season, as the network wanted to fire Bakshi's writing team and hire professional Los Angeles screenwriters, but Bakshi refused to cooperate with the network.
The show has since become a cult favorite among Bakshi fans.
