妖獣都市
For centuries a treaty has existed between the human world and the realm of the demons.
A peace treaty between the Earth and the Black World, a parallel universe of demons, is coming to an end. Two cops, Taki, a human male, and Maki, a female demon, are assigned to protect a diplomat who will help secure another treaty. A radical group of demons from the Black World are out to assassinate the diplomat and prevent the treaty; only the bond that forms between the two cops can save the Earth from destruction.

Directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri, written by Hideyuki Kikuchi, Yoshiaki Kawajiri and Norio Osada.
Average viewer score of 6.7/10 from 295 ratings.
There is enough back story to have made this into a cool quasi MIB supernatural series. Instead what we got was a movie with a perverted little Yoda style sensi that was enjoyable enough to watch. The problem was it all came and went too fast and it felt rushed and unfortunately in a way that leaves you wanting to explore that odd little universe more.
