add recEveryone that liked Demon City Shinjuku will absolutely love Wicked City. The atmosphere in both movies is alike, except that Wicked City goes much further in matters of darkness, violence, characters, and the story of course. It's an absolute treat for any fan of anime horror.
Wicked City and Demon City Shinjuku are older anime films that both focus on a male and female protagonist battling against demons in order to save the world. Both films have a similar dark feeling to them and belong to the same genre, so if you like one then you'll definitely like the other.
Again a movie that features a demons trying to take over the world theme.This time the humans are trying to negotiate a peace treaty, whereas a different approach to Demon City Shinjuku, the premise is the same, and the hero ends up doing something unusual to save the day.

add recIt might seem strange to recommend this after seeing DCS. However, the story structures are actually quite similar. You have a zero-to-hero with his father's legacy to uphold--saving the world from demons and falling in love with the woman by his side. At the end, there is the inevitable final battle between the good and bad guys. Whoops, did I give away too much?! Oh, right, it's cliched.

add recFor fans of swordplay, demon hoards, gorgeous hand-painted anime, you'll likely find lots of similar features in this film. This shares the same director and the one of the same production companies, Madhouse. The themes are quite similar, too: a lone swordsman in a quasi-reality word, facing unbeatable odds, but with hidden inner powers that develop throughout the film. This one features sexual content, and more than a bit more ultraviolence. The director, Yoshiaki Kawajiri, has surpassed himself here.
