A Masterpiece!

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The acting in this movie is really good.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I watched this a long time ago in the days of VHS and I loved it because it told a great story and the characters were interesting. And this is among the favourites of Yosiaki Kawajiri's works I seen.Also the music was nothing short of great even fantastic in places.The animation was top notch as well as the fights and character development in this good piece of old school anime.Also we had a fearsome antagonist in Levi Rah and a brief explanation of what made him become what he became which always suits any kind of anime or manga.Also I liked the English dub and Brad Lavelle did a great job in voicing the main character Kyoya Izayoi and Bob Sessions was great in voicing the main villain Levi Rah.So this is an enjoyable anime made in the late 1980's.

The Main Reason Being That This Is A Low Budget, Direct To DVD Movie From The Early Days Of Kawajiri When His Peak Was Wicked City, Its Hard Enough Finding "Ninja Scroll" In Australia.Now I've Stopped That Onto What I Thought, I Saw The English Dub, The Plot Overall Was Good But DON'T See The English Dub, A Kid Has A Mexican Accent In That Dub Which Ruined My Suspension Of Disbelief That This Could Happen To Tokyo(I Suspend My Disbelief As Far As A Movie Is Willing To Bend And This Is Anime For God Sakes, You Could Suspend Your Disbelief That A Whole 8 Minute Fight Occurs Entirely In Mid Air.) The Original Voices Were SO MUCH BETTER! I Thought That This Was One Of Kawajiri's Lesser Works, He Has Done Better With Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust, Wicked City, Highlander: Search For Vengeance & Ninja Scroll. However I Thought It Had A Good Story Considering The Runtime Of 77 Minutes.Overall If You Want Kawajiri In The Masters Chair Then Watch "Wicked City" Followed By "Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust" However If You Want A Film To Keep You Entertained About A Prodigal Son Taking Down A Demon World In 77 Minutes Then Go Ahead. I Liked It.

Yoshiaki Kawajiri has made his reputation for eye-popping fright visuals and this is his masterpiece of terror. Shinjuku, in Tokyo's business district, has become a portal through which shape-shifting denizens of the demon realm are seeking to invade earth. Humanity is threatened with enslavement by creatures who can appear human but who are terrifyingly inhuman when they reveal their true form. But a plucky girl and jaded street samurai are on hand to foil their plans. What follows is a fast moving, action nightmare highlighted by nightmarish visions of seemingly ordinary people and objects morphing into their terrifying demon forms. Genuinely scary stuff.

This anime kicked butt. Lots and lots of action and a good story. Great demons and interesting super-powers. Just a great movie. If you like anime you'll like this.
