neutral · AI labelView post →“Director” number three waxed ecstatic about the Black communities love of anime and how he couldn’t have made the film without AI. It was Ghost in the Shell meets Demon City Shinjuku with more boobs and lesbians. Oddly, no Black characters or much dialogue for that matter. Groundbreaking
negative · AI labelView post →Gonna do animated movie week this week including (probably): Fantastic Planet Demon City Shinjuku The Last Unicorn The Dark Crystal (because puppets count as animation) Will happily consider any other animations matching these vibes.

neutral · AI labelView post →#W DEMON CITY on #Netflix. Nothing supernatural about this one: a hitman avenging his family's murder at the hands of a mask-wearing syndicate. Director Seiji Tanaka does a decent impression of Timo Tjahjanto w many bloody fights & the epilogue is a class moment. #ActionSky #martialarts #Filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →Last repost: Demon City Shinjuku is on YouTube--in its entirety--and with a dub that's gonna make you feel like you're watching it on a bootleg VHS that you bought for $5 out of a milk crate at the con where you learned about "furries"
neutral · AI labelView post →New episode of The Monster in My Bed podcast! Today we look at Demon City Shinjiku, which was far less horney then I remember but I still love this movie and one particular character that my teen goth heart was so into back when I 1st saw it! www.buzzsprout.com/2313260/epis...

neutral · AI labelView post →I thought about how we're a generation away from this stuff, and if you got into anime more recently or you're 20, seek his movies out in particular. Literally perfect action movies. Timeless material. Be warned for sex stuff in many of them, but not this movie, nor Demon City Shinjuku!
neutral · AI labelView post →Okay...Had to wrap up grocery shopping, and looking over Discotek's library for in-print titles. Continue focusing on the movie & OAV "evergreens" that are adjacent to much of your general product line: Demon City Shinjuku, Cyber City OEDO 808, Violence Jack, Angel Cop...
neutral · AI labelView post →Don't watch this and Demon City Shinjuku too close together, or you'll never remember which detail came from which film! #FrightClub
neutral · AI labelView post →I saw Demon City… uh… it’s nice to see Ikuta Toma in a movie again…
neutral · AI labelView post →What movie did you see way too young? I was probably not old enough to be watching half the stuff on Sci-Fi Channel when I was in middle school in the mid 90s and definitely not old enough for Demon City Shinjuku.
neutral · AI labelView post →A big Game 4 in the NBA Finals and i’m feeling like a Friday Night foreign action movie. Pacers win - Ballerina (2023) * not the John Wick Spin-off Thunder win - Demon City
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Demon City (2025) on Netflix. The action sequences were very entertaining, the dramatic flourishes perhaps a little less so, but any movie that involves faceless goons sincerely attempting to kill the protagonist with a forklift gets several bonus stars in my book.

neutral · AI labelView post →I've noticed how much skills are just being lost. Like, the movie adaptation of the crime manga Demon City could have gone much harder if people could still light and shoot scenes in an interesting way. Alas craft is straight up being lost.
negative · AI labelView post →Remember Demon City Shinjuku? ⚔️ Ah yes. The anime where our hero uses his wooden stick to beat up demons! I really enjoyed this movie for it's aesthetic. The main villain Rebi ra and his floating pentagram was also pretty really neet. It's a worth a watch if you enjoy some old school sci fi. 😁
positive · AI labelView post →15. DEMON CITY SHINJUKU (1988) I get to see a scary film AND an OVA. it's a win-win situation(?)

neutral · AI labelView post →#DemonCity #Japanese #JMovie This Japanese revenge movie was a pretty good watch of you like blood and violence (which I do). The action choreography was a lot of fun and some of the visuals were very cool. 7.5/10 Nothing new, but still entertaining. mydramalist.com/782676-demon...
neutral · AI labelView post →If you want a straight-to-the-point bloody action film, #DemonCity is right up your alley. But the live-action adaption of Hiroaki Samura’s #OniGoroshi severely lacks substance. Read our review:
neutral · AI labelView post →With DEMON CITY, Seiji Tanaka becomes the latest promising Japanese filmmaker to get tapped to make an awful streamer movie that hardly anyone watches. Is this Japan's equivalent to the indie-to-MCU pipeline? www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2025...

neutral · AI labelView post →Having watched the movie I wonder if Oni Goroshi the manga Demon City is based is any good.
neutral · AI labelView post →I've always wanted to see Shinjuku, and the nearby Park, both of which were prominent in that brilliant late 80s anime film Demon City Shinjuku. I'd be walking the streets in my black suit and tie.

neutral · AI labelView post →I forgot how ridiculous the dub of Demon City Shinjuku is.. its such a flashy movie with basically no payoff lol
negative · AI labelView post →Demon City (Oni Goroshi) (2025) A Japanese action film that is based on graphic novel, though it goes crazy with the action it lacks substance. It is decent at best with the action replying mostly on blood splatter and kills and mostly at the start and end.
neutral · AI labelView post →My ★★ review of Demon City on Letterboxd boxd.it/9L2VoN Couldn't be arsed to make it a long review though! #filmsky
negative · AI labelView post →I'm watching as many stuff as I can during the break 😂 done with karma (kdrama) - it's excellent, give it a try! and Demon City (j-movie) is okay - brutal and gory but it's a revenge movie so it checks out. Really cool fight sequences though 🔥
neutral · AI labelView post →Demon City is a fantastic film that deserves some love. It's got Kill Bill vibes 🔥
positive · AI labelView post →I watched Kraven the Hunter, Gladiator II, and a Japanese film on Netflix call Demon City. I feel like I went 0 for 3 Monday and Tuesday.
negative · AI labelView post →Just watched Demon City (2025): Story is pretty clear cut (no pun intended), but like many of the things that I watch in Japanese Media, the action sequences were TOP NOTCH. Character acting from the men in masks where magnificent, and the cinematography was disturbing. Pretty good film to binge
positive · AI labelView post →I watched the Japanese movie Demon City. Written and directed by Seiji Tanaka and starring Toma Ikuta. It's basically Japanese John Wick. A movie you've seen a million times before. It's a little better than most of the similar revenge movies(better than Silent Night for example). #filmsky
neutral · AI labelView post →Kitty enjoying this over-the-top, gory, violent Japanese movie called Demon City.
neutral · AI labelView post →This has nothing to do with Demon City Shinjuku. It's an entirely new action movie that went up on Netflix yesterday.
neutral · AI labelView post →Movie of the night: Demon City (2025). Yay for an English dub. It's been a weird week. Something is wrong and I don't know what. Just so weak and exhausted. Joint and muscle pain too. Comp tomorrow and I'm hoping the extra rest will be enough. Blood test results next week.

neutral · AI labelView post →Sci-fi channel was that cool ass older brother I never had. Introduced me to Demon City Shinjuku then the other late 80’s/early 90’s anime movies you’d see on a blockbuster video shelf or Suncoast Movie store.

neutral · AI labelView post →Demon City Shinjuku "What if. Star Wars: A New Hope. Set in Shinjuku. That was corrupted by the evil wizard?" This is that movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →John: Wong Kar-wai style love story about broken misfits. Paul: Richard Linklater style slice of life hangout movie. George: Michael Mann style thriller with moody atmosphere and taut action. Ringo: Shot for shot remake of Demon City Shinjuku.
neutral · AI labelView post →You’re welcome! Also, try out Demon City Shinjuku. It’s an anime movie but still has the same themes
neutral · AI labelView post →Demon City (2025) A really gory action movie, nothing really special but if you wanna see one dude mow down a hoard of other dudes, this is a movie for you. Also really shows how some people will create 'enemies' for themselves to appear more just then they actually are.
neutral · AI labelView post →Core memories from when Sci Fi channel played Anime at 2am on Saturdays. Iria, Armitage the 3rd, Akira, Venus Wars, Demon City Shinjuku, galaxy express 999, world dominion tank police, robot carnival, green legend ran... Tenchi Muyo movie I think...
neutral · AI labelView post →Ahh, Demon City Shinjuku. Has amazing color usage, and is altogether an excellent horror/action film, a mixed genre that is sorely lacking… …and downright despises women to an egregious degree even by anime standards, but the guy who wrote this blatantly hates women, so…
neutral · AI labelView post →I tried 1988’s Demon City Shinjuku as a “scary” Halloween movie on a lark but I cannot get over the heavy under-nose ink work that makes it look like everyone switched from this to be a cast extra in Cats seeking their way to the heavy side layer
negative · AI labelView post →Watched the Discotek blu ray. A really fun Yoshiaki Kawajiri film that serves as a great gateway to his work. My ★★★★ review of Demon City Shinjuku on @letterboxd.social: boxd.it/bkXACV
positive · AI labelView post →I might watch some more old OVAs or a movie this weekend.. I watched Wicked City and Demon City Shinjuku last weekend. Need to find some others to watch.. They remind me of the old tapes my mum would get off market stalls for 50p.. B movies and stuff. I remember when she brought home Critters
