Demon City Shinjuku

<p>In our penultimate installment of #scaretoons, we received a specially curated episode at the request of special guest and continuity guru Steve Beckley for the 1988 Japanese OVA special DEMON CITY SHINJUKU. It's a swift epic in miniature about a madman who has made a deal with the demon realm to unleash monsters upon the earth, and the only one standing in his way is a novice young man with a family legacy of waging war against evil.&nbsp;</p><p>While the film has its merits (a striking visual style and genuinely compelling monsters) and its demerits (some unfortunate audio dubbing and tropes which haven't aged well), we have a surprisingly rich conversation about waging war against our own desires and the legacies, both good and evil, upon which we build our own choices.</p><p>It's a fun conversation as always, including a special Patron segment covering CASTLEVANIA Season 2, episodes 3 &amp; 4. We hope you enjoy!</p><p>4:51 - Business Time</p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/thefearofgodpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Patron Only Segment</a>: CASTLEVANIA, Season 2, Episodes 3 &amp; 4; Whatcha Watchin' / Readin' / Listenin' To?</p><p>8:41 - Some notable additional animated horror films</p><p>23:17 - DEMON CITY SHINJUKU</p><p>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.</p>
