If you loved Wicked City, try Demon City Shinjuku
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri, and they both carry the body horror, neon soaked mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Fantasy / Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Wicked City, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Demon City Shinjuku is
Fire escapes drip neon, Shinjuku summer. A sunset bathes skyscrapers in hellish gold while paper charms flutter like dying moths. Kyoya Izayoi inherits a sky-scraping debt of blood—his father’s corpse still warm on the sidewalk. Ten years of demonic squatters and now the city’s perimeter glows like an abattoir’s sign. Yoshiaki Kawajiri’s 1988 cyber-noir drenches every pixel in borrowed light.
