In ancient times, the great Mother gave birth to human beings to populate the Earth, but she also created a race of demons to be mankind's arch enemy, to teach them how to fight fear. In present day Tokyo, Shinjuku has been destroyed by a mysterious light, and someone -- or something -- is commiting terrible murders. The only hope for Tokyo's citizens is Tsunami Shijyo, a demon fighting stranger who will soon be up against the greatest evil the world has ever known...
Both of these animes have a similar feel and gritty tone. They both involve protagonists who are investigating the cause of a demon virus. If you liked one be sure to check out the other.
In the near future, the human world exists parallel to a parallel world of demons and dark magic.

Works of Yoshiaki Kawajiri aimed at a mature audiece who are not afraid of violent behaviour and gritty, darker takes on life, Wicked City and Bio Hunter have a common supernatural sort of "underworld" feel which may appeal to a similar kind of viewer.
Both of these films follow the main protagonists chasing and battling against demonic monsters and conspiracies. Wicked City has a darker tone but both films have a similar feeling. If this kind of thing rocks your boat then check out these films.
Ikurou is a young man with problems: after a terrible car accident, he was captured by a seedy organization and implanted with a parasite known as Baoh -- a creature which bestows superhuman powers on its host, especially when mortally wounded. While being transported by train, he is accidentally set free by Sumire, young a psychic girl, and the two make their escape. With more of his humanity slipping away by the minute, and the organization hot on their tracks, will the two escape with their lives, or simply cause a bloodbath along the way?
In the near future, demons with the ability to fuse with machinery and infest corpses have begun terrorizing mankind. Dubbed 'Amalgams', no one knows how they are created, or where their abilities originate from. As the random outbreaks continue, the general population begins to panic, demanding protection from these vicious beasts; enter XAT, a military unit created solely to counter the Amalgam threat. Despite being a highly skilled unit, however, they find themselves hard pressed to contain the threat, let alone subdue it. To compound matters further, a new type of Amalgam surfaces that proves even more devious than the rest - one made from the human, not machine. Yet all is not lost, two of these new Amalgams - the feisty Gerd and the mysterious Blue - actively oppose the others. With the odds stacked against them, will they be able to protect mankind while simultaneously being shunned by it?
Blassreiter and Bio Hunter involve characters who struggle with their (literal) inner demon, while at the same time fighting with demons without to save humanity. If you enjoyed this in one, I think you will enjoy it in the other.
