Ultra-violent anime classic about sex demons hell-bent on destroying humanity. Features explicit rape scenes.

Demon Chôjin plans to unleash deadly chaos by merging three realms: the human realm, the demon realm and that of the beast-men. Beast-man Amano Jaku goes to great lengths to stop this apocalyptic battle in which humans wouldn’t stand a chance.

What would our theme programme A Tentacular Touch be without tentacle sex? Urotsukidōji: Legend of the Overfiend is arguably the most infamous title in that genre; a hentai cornerstone belonging to the eroguro subgenre of anime or manga that’s both erotic and grotesque. Born from necessity, as censorship laws in 1980s Japan didn’t allow any penises on show. Tentacles however… Once confined to sticky VHS-tapes hidden under the video store counter, Urotsukidōji is a revolting and transgressive piece of anime history. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. 


On 1 November, Urotsukidōji will be introduced by anime expert Rabia Sitabi Stigter.
