add recWicked 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.

add recWorks 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.
Akira
- Movie
- 1988
Following the disaster wrought upon the world by a mysterious being called ‘Akira’, Neo Tokyo is now in social and economic turmoil. In such a decaying city, feisty Kaneda and his shy friend Tetsuo survive by running around in a biker gang, chasing local rivals and generally evading the police. Everything changes, however, when Tetsuo crashes into a strange-looking boy during a bike chase and the military ends up taking him away. When he eventually returns to his friends, he’s no longer the same weak little boy they always knew – in fact, a military experiment has turned him into something beyond human imagination. While the military is intent on reclaiming its specimen at any cost, Tetsuo is sick of being bullied around and is about to show everyone, including his friend Kaneda, exactly who is boss.

add recBoth animes are about people who fight deamons. They encounter a lot of obstacles but finally the make everything up as it should be. Both contain mainly fight scenes. For me personaly the biggest similarity would be the fighting style of a waiter from Hellsing and hotel ownerfrom Wicked City. If you like shows about demon fighters you'll surely like what I recommend.
