About This Movie

Tokyo Babylon 2 is quite the atmospheric piece from the early '90s. Directed by Koichi Chigira, it carries a moody tone that pulls you into its world, where the bustling city of Tokyo meets the supernatural. Subaru Sumeragi, the spirit medium, is a fascinating character, grappling with darker themes as she investigates a serial killer targeting women on the subway. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, but it enhances that sense of unease and tension. The animation is rich, combined with practical effects that give life to the spirit world. There’s a distinct blend of fantasy and realism here, making it stand out in the genre. A unique experience that delves into both the modern and the ethereal.
