About the release:
The ADV Films edition presented in a two-disc set marks the first DVD release of supervising director RinTaro?s (Metropolis Captain Harlock) seminal horror masterpiece. Produced by one of Japan?s premiere animation houses Madhouse Studios (Ninja Scroll) this English-language adaptation-by Robotech producer Carl Macek-remains true to form delivering a chilling tale of genuine horror constructed in a classic 4-part mini-series format.

A classic struggle between good and evil Doomed Megalopolis takes place in the context of a devastating earthquake that destroyed much of Tokyo in 1923. The tale posits an alternate cause for that destruction putting a supernatural spin on the actual event.

The Story:
Set in Tokyo during the first decades of the 20th century Doomed Megalopolis tells the story of the powerful mystic Kato?s obsession with the conquest of Tokyo-?the greatest city on earth.? But Kato?s actions awaken the long-dead spirit Masakato the legendary guardian of Tokyo. Unable to stand along against Masakato?s power the calculating Kato uses an innocent woman as an unsuspecting pawn in the hope of producing an offspring capable of challenging Tokyo?s mystical protector. But Kato never counted on the effect that a team of unlikely heroes would have on his sinister plans. Nor could he anticipate the destruction his spells would cause for the millions of innocent citizens of Tokyo?

Doomed Megalopolis (SRP $29.98) is a DVD-only release containing all four parts of the title: ?The Haunting of Tokyo? ?The Fall of Tokyo? ?The Gods of Tokyo? and ?The Battle for Tokyo.?
