“For centuries a treaty has existed between the human world and the realm of the demons.”

AnimationFantasyHorror

A peace treaty between the Earth and the Black World, a parallel universe of demons, is coming to an end. Two cops, Taki, a human male, and Maki, a female demon, are assigned to protect a diplomat who will help secure another treaty. A radical group of demons from the Black World are out to assassinate the diplomat and prevent the treaty; only the bond that forms between the two cops can save the Earth from destruction.

VIBE

A hyper-violent, darkly sensual anime fever dream. This film plunges you into a neon-drenched, rain-slicked urban landscape where demons and humans clash. It's a relentless, stylish descent into a world of graphic transformations and desperate battles.
