About Tokyo Babylon

Here is what Tokyo Babylon is about, retold in plain terms: an action, supernatural and mystery anime by Madhouse (1992). At its core: Subaru Sumeragi is the 13th head of the Sumeragi Clan and a most mighty onmyouji. Subaru is hired to exorcise a construction site, but his employer mysteriously died.

Further in, the only suspect is a man who repeatedly walks away from situations in which he should have died. Then Subaru crosses paths with a young woman intent upon cursing the man, saying that he killed her brother. Subaru needs to figure out how his employer died and struggle the evil spirits that are protecting the man with the help of his companion and twin sister, Seishirou Sakurazuka and Hokuto Sumeragi.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list.
