If you loved Demon City Shinjuku, try Wicked City
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
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 Demon City Shinjuku, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Wicked City is
The neon rain slicks the demon port’s fire escapes. Taki’s revolver clicks empty once per exhalation. Maki’s shadow unspools into living ink at every turn. Two cops guard a treaty courier whose pulse lures assassins from the Black World. The city stinks of sulfur and syrup. Their duty begins as distrust ends. Kawajiri’s 1987 cyber-noir slices genres like cheap synth.
