It is considered a classic of 80s anime and you can understand why. The aesthetics of the time have something that has been lost in current animation, it is dark, gore, a lot of demonic fantasy. It just lacks some nudity to compare to Ninja Scroll or Vampire Hunter D. But it is also inferior to the aforementioned films. The story is very simple and the characters, including the protagonist, are not very well developed. It's worth it if you like this style of anime but it's quickly forgotten.

This anime drops you into a story that feels like it's working on the second act. This lead me to wonder if _Demon City_ was a sequel. Is this related to _Wicked City_? It certainly looks very similar. Turns out the two are unrelated, in story, however they share the same director, and writer.
