FROM THE DIRECTOR OF NINJA SCROLL AND MADHOUSE STUDIO (DEATH NOTE, ONE PUNCH MAN)
The anime cult classic, Wicked City and its notorious sequel, Demon City Shinjuku contained in one epic double feature, remastered in HD for the very first time!
It's not unusual for lady-killer Renzaburo Taki to share a night with a woman. When that woman can turn into a demonic spider, however, it's just a little worrying. The demons are on the move, and as a member of the Black Guard, Taki's job, his real job is to protect the human world from the demon world. And his work is just beginning! A fragile peace exists between the two worlds, brokered by a treaty. In order for the renewal of that treaty to go smoothly, Taki has to protect Giuseppi Mayart, a two hundred year old man with immense spiritual power, from an extremist faction of demons seeking to bring chaos to the two worlds.
Worst of all, Taki's assigned a partner for the mission: the unnaturally beautiful Makie, a fellow Black Guard member... and herself a demon! The two will have to go all out to protect the old man, as not only are the demons going to extreme lengths to kill him, but Mayart seems oddly unconcerned for his own safety. Is there more going on than Taki and Makie realise?
Director Yoshiaki Kawajiri (Ninja Scroll) blends stylish eroticism, graphic horror and pulse-pounding action as these two race to consummate the peace treaty in time. Box Contains - 14 mm 2-in-1 Blu-ray Case - Double-sided inlay - Disc 1 (Wicked City) Runtime 79 mins approx - Disc 2 (Demon City Shinjuku) Runtime 76 mins approx

Better than expected
After reading other reviews I was a bit worried, but it was nowhere near as graphic as I was led to believe, and the story was good, but the style was what I really loved about this movie.

A fantastic manga double bill
This set comprises of both the wicked city manga films, Wicked City and Demon City. These films are not for the squeamish or faint of heart as they embody what good manga adaptations should be. They are gory, fantastical but also have an amazing story surrounding the treaty of the netherworld. The animation is extremely imaginative but at times is incredibly adult. Two fantastic films in one package that any manga fan should not be without. The prints available on blu ray are very good for the age of the material. Definitely recommended.
