Wicked City (1987) is a movie I recently rewatched on Tubi. The storyline follows a world at threat of being invaded and taken over by demons. A police officer and demon will work together to prevent that from happening.

This movie is directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri (Vampire Hunter D) and contains the voices of Yûsaku Yara (Ninja Scroll), Toshiko Fujita (Fist of the Northstar), Takeshi Aono (Ninja Scroll) and Ichirô Nagai (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind).

The animation may be a little dated but the storyline, concept and action scenes are awesome. The demons are very well done as are the various creatures our heroes do battle with. There's a spa scene in this that's absolutely insane and very well done. While the animation is dated the overall universe is excellent and very creative.

This is an underrated anime gem that is an absolutely must see. I would score this a 8.5-9/10 and strongly recommend it.
