If you loved Lensman, try Demon City Shinjuku
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 cozy, late night mood tags, and they sit in Action / Animation territory. If that's the register that drew you to Lensman, 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.
