Demon City Shinjuku: Rebi Ra vs Genichirou Duel

This is pretty much the opening of Demon City Shinjuku. I always thought this was a cool way to start a movie, right off the bat you're hooked. By the way, this is from a vhs. Enjoy.

The intro blew my mind it was amazing. The sound piece and the animation stile chosen were unreal. I was quiet surprised with the voices chosen in the English dub they were perfect. Is there any more anime movies from this specific director/ creator. Same deal with vampire hunter d still waiting on the third movie.

The director,Yoshiaki Kawajiri, has done a lot actually and you've probably seen them. His works include Wicked City, Ninja Scroll, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, and many others. This anime is based on a novel by Hideyuki Kikuchi, who is also the creator of Vampire Hunter D. Look them up, they got some good stuff out there.

LOVE....THIS...ANIME! I saw it for the first time just a year ago! Boy, did it take me back to the days when anime had just an underground cult following!*sigh* Those were the days! Remember the old anime magazines like Protoculture Addicts back then! Sorry to get nostalgic!

First saw this when I was 14(I'm 28 now)and I still think it's great. I do remember Protoculture Addicts, and there was another anime mag(whose name escapes me)that I use to read. It was a brit mag and was how I discovered Macross and Armitage III. No worries bout the nostalgia, just about everything I post is for that very purpose.

@garoad I was around the same age too when I saw these, but the VERY first anime I had seen was Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind when I was 3 or 4... if you haven't seen it already then I highly recommend it.

This Takes me back when the Sci Fi channel was cool, I remember begging my parents to take me to the store to buy blank VHS tapes to record this, Vampire Hunter D, Lens Man, Akira, urusei Yatsura beautiful Dreamer, Lily C.A.T, Iria, Green Legend Ran, Casshan and a few others!

Saw this back on Sci Fi. It was good, but I liked a lot of the other movies they showed better (Iria, Venus Wars, Vampire Hunter D, Tenchi Muyo, Akira, etc.)
