Urotukidoji - Legend of the Overfiend is a feature-length version of the Japanese comic strip. Every three thousand years the superfiend Chojin visits the Earth to unite the three worlds of the humans, the Man-Beasts (Jyujinkai) and the Monster Demons (Makai), thus forming the Land of Eternity. However, when Man-Beast Amano learns what a sickening place the world will become as a result - full of violence and supernatural forces - he vows to prevent the process from taking place.

I feel like I have watched two and a half hours of someone's fever dream about a world whose internal workings and the behavior of the characters would only make sense to the person who dreams it. However, it was a ride, either way.

I watched the uncensored version, which was 146 minutes long. An enjoyable and surprisingly quite funny film (for a hardened and very specific audience) with lots of scantily clad girls and demons with tentacles. Overall, the film comes off as an off-the-wall porn version of Akira enriched with romance, set against the backdrop of tidings of the uncompromising end of the world, including an apocalyptic depressive finale. In any case, the film’s basis is a dark urban fantasy with an epic story about the unification of three worlds and the search for the Chosen One, but the bloody battles and explicit erotica are an unprecedented added bonus.
