Legend has it that the human race is not the only dominant civilization living on Earth. Two other races exist in this world: the Makai (a demon race) and the Juujinkai (a half-man, half-beast race). Once every 3,000 years, a supreme being known as the "Choujin" (Overfiend) will emerge and bring balance to all three realms on Earth. In present-day Japan, after 300 years of endless searching, a Jujinkai named Amano Jyaku has discovered the presence of the Choujin inside high school slacker Tatsuo Nagumo. But now, Amano, along with his sister Megumi and their sidekick Kuroko, must protect Nagumo and his new girlfriend Akemi Ito from the Makai, who believe that Nagumo is not the Choujin, but an evil entity bent on destroying all living beings on Earth.

Where it came from
Urotsukidoji: Legend of the Overfiend was released in 1987 as a multi-part original video animation series, based on the manga by Toshio Maeda. Produced by Phoenix Entertainment, the series emerged during the late 1980s expansion of the direct-to-video anime market in Japan, which allowed for more mature, experimental, and technically ambitious content that avoided the constraints of broadcast television censorship.
The animation design, spearheaded by Hideki Takayama, sought to push the boundaries of extreme horror and dark fantasy in the medium. By blending occult narrative tropes with grotesque biological mutations and intense graphic sequences, the work became a landmark in underground anime history. While it faced significant controversy and was subject to heavy censorship and bans in several international markets upon its release, it simultaneously gained a cult following for its uncompromising aesthetic and profound influence on the dark fantasy genre in animation.
