Makaitoshi Shinjuku (1988) Reviews
Kawajiri's earlier works..Still not a master but enroute!
Not Bad. Actually better than a lot of anime's out there. Usual storyline. Demons trying to take over tokyo thus the world. Father tries to stop the villain but fails, 10 years later comes the prodigal son and wham-bam blah blah & so on....Good action, english dubbing is Ok. Needed a little bit more insight on the storyline and the characters lacked some depth. If you follow Kawajiri's work you can c glimpses of his genious. But fans who r looking for Kawajiri's mastery wont find a lot of it in this one.
good plot, no character development
The son of a Nempo master must stop a sorcerer from raising hell. This is a Bruce Willis meets anime type of film. There isn't much character development at all. What's good about the film is that although the plot line is common in anime, it still entertains. See this if you're fond of lots of action and could care less about emotion.
Just plain awesome
This anime kicked butt. Lots and lots of action and a good story. Great demons and interesting super-powers. Just a great movie. If you like anime you'll like this.
Classic Horror Anime
I watched this a long time ago in the days of VHS and I loved it because it told a great story and the characters were interesting. And this is among the favourites of Yosiaki Kawajiri's works I seen. Also the music was nothing short of great even fantastic in places. The animation was top notch as well as the fights and character development in this good piece of old school anime. Also we had a fearsome antagonist in Levi Rah and a brief explanation of what made him become what he became which always suits any kind of anime or manga. Also I liked the English dub and Brad Lavelle did a great job in voicing the main character Kyoya Izayoi and Bob Sessions was great in voicing the main villain Levi Rah. So this is an enjoyable anime made in the late 1980's.
Fast paced anime action at its best.
This is one of my favorite anime movies I have seen. It is very fast paced with really cool action scenes, likable characters dubbed good, and good villains as well. Only one dude can save the world from the demons...his father tried to previously, but failed. This is shown right at the beginning and sets the tone for the rest of this flick. Let's just say that there aren't many boring parts to speak of. My favorite character had to be Mephisto. You wonder if he is on the side of good, or perhaps evil. Through it all the dude fights his way through the demons till he has the final confrontation with the man responsible for his dad's death. The final conflict is one for the ages and the ending to this one won't leave you saying "what just happened?".
