Some good news for fans of this classic as Midnight Pulp is looking to bring out the Demon City Shinjuku film with a digital edition. The film is now available on the Amazon Prime service where Prime members can watch for free in HD in English. You can also rent it for $2.99 or purchase for $9.99 in HD if not a Prime member.
The set is coming with a pretty good box plan it looks like as it’ll also include a 450-page storyboard book and a 70-page booklet of settings. It’ll have a stereo PCM track for the Japanese side as well as a DTS-HD MA 5.1 mix. The English inclusion is very limited as it’s a Dolby Digital stereo track.
Check out our review of the property.
Plot Concept: The near future. The glittering skyline of Tokyo now lies broken and crumbling under the weight of an oppressive evil: the tyrannical Rebi Rah. Rah has transformed Shinjuku, the heart of Tokyo, into a city of demons… and that’s just the beginning. There are only three days left until Rah destroys the world.
For years, no one has dared to cross the foul moat which Rah and his evil minions built around the Demon City – until now. Desperate to rescue her father, who was taken captive by Rah and his monstrous minions, the beautiful Sayaka Rama enlists the help of Kyoya, a streetwise Tokyo teenager. The two must bravely venture into the Demon City, where even the army fears to tread.
Even if Sayaka and Kyoya manage to defeat Rah’s army of monsters, will they be able to destroy the dark sorcerer? Or will they face the same fate as all those who came before them?
