DEMON CITY SHINJUKU-1988-The demon
possessed Rebi Ra defeats the hero Genichirou and turns a portion of
Tokyo, Shinjuku into a demon infested city. 10 years later the
president of the world visits Tokyo and is attacked by a monster sent
by Rebi Ra. The president's daughter Sayaka asks Genichirou's son
Kyoka (a master in the art of Nempo) to accompany her to the demon
city and stop Ra. At first he refuses but relents in time to save her
from some would be rapists when she goes to the city alone. After
tangling with two headed dog, some monsters and demons and getting
help from Chibi, a street smart ass they meet Mephisto who seems to
be against Ra although may have an ulterior motive. Later Kyoka takes
on Rebi Ra and doesn't flare so well. Meanwhile Sayaka and Chibi
search the haunted city for him and encounter demon kids.
This weird
supernatural anime was directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri (NINJA SCROLL,
VAMPIRE HUNTER D) and based on the manga by Hideyuki Kikuchi.
Kawajiri had previously done WICKED CITY also from a comic by
Kikuchi.
