This is a four part series, originally created in 1992, that tells the story of an evil necromancer dead set on the destruction of Tokyo and the small group of people who desperately try to stop him. Kato Yasinori is the magician whose plan is to raise the spirit of Taira No Masikado a 10th Century samurai rebel. If woken, Masikado’s anger will trigger the end of Tokyo.
Caught up in the opening stanzas of Kato’s plot are Yukari Tatsumi and her brother, Yukari’s daughter Yukiko and Naritake a close friend. The mage intends to use Yukari as a vessel for the re-incarnated samurai. When this fails he turns to Yukiko, but she is unsuitable because she is the result of Yukari’s rape by her brother. Although unsuccessful at awakening the spirit, Kato manages to disturb the dragon of the earth sufficiently to trigger the devastating earthquakes of 1923, where over 74,000 died and millions left homeless.
In the last two episodes, Kato plans to renew his efforts at the destruction of Tokyo but taking advantage of the reconstruction effort. Secretly he works to draw down the moon, using a slingshot effect to ruin the city, and possible, the earth. This time, however, Tatsumi has married Keiko, a priestess of Masakado. With the help of a psychic, Kureda, she wages the battle with the necromancer, but it appears to be a hopeless struggle in the face of overwhelming magical powers. In its final form, it becomes a struggle between the Goddess of Mercy and the Spirit of the Dead.
Director Rin Taro based this screenplay on an original story by Hiroshi Aramato, oulling no punches in the process. This is a violent film - not do to a lot of killing, but due to an undercurrent of sexual sadism that periodically breaks loose, leaving the viewer more than a little unnerved. While the plot does stay within certain limits, it is decidedly and adult story, more properly a horror film than a fantasy story. It combines just enough of real history and common legend to make the tale compelling, but occasionally prone to unexplained events.
The basic art work is good, evoking the Japanese equivalent of gothic atmosphere. But the animation uses to many short cuts and lacks fluidity. Even so it has an atmospheric strength that is the perfect counterpoint to the rough edges of the story line. If your taste runs to noir horror make a point of seeking this out.
What is a WTF Movie you ask? A WTF movie is a What the (Fill in the blank) movie. Doomed MEgallopolis is a Mid 90’s sci fi anime involving Sorcerors, Dragons, and gods. The story revolves around a sorceror named Kako who wishes to destroy tokyo. This two DVD set expands upon this story starting with Kako going after a young women in order to use her to resurect a god, after realizing that she is two weak he impreginates her and 11 years later he uses the daughter to destroy tokyo. However Tokyo is not so easily vanquished as a few years later Tokyo is rebuilt and he realizes that the spirit is to weak. So he goes for the dragon sleeping underneath to destroy tokyo for good. At this point the Goddess of Mercy shows up to stop him ending in a fairly bloody battle.
The reason this a WTF movie is the small things that catch your attention, and or disgust you. For example in episode one the woman about halfway through ends up vomiting out a demon that has a penis for a tounge. That is only in the first episode. There are other moments to include the bizzare ending which does not needed interpreted but is strange none the less.
