High above Tokyo's Shinjuku area, two men battle for the fate of the world: Rebi Ra, an emissary for the demon world, and Genichiro, the only man who can stop him.

My attempts to get into anime are once again foiled by watching actual anime.

The visuals are interesting, and the ideas too, though as many said, it is a bit lacking in the action department. It felt like the first episodes of an anime that takes a while to get really started, not like a movie on its own.

If I had been 13, I would've thought this was So The Shit. As an "adult" in close contact with his inner child I still got some entertainment out of it despite the lack of extended battles or a satisfying finale.

Solid anime with imaginative demons but unspectacular fights. But I liked it very much

Finds plenty of ways to be creatively trippy despite the usual anime nonsense of the subject matter.
