Additional Information

Based on the manga by Tohru Fujisawa, the broadcast series Tokko (2006) is the tale of a failed alchemical experiment that's darker than anything the Elric brothers could imagine. Five years earlier, Ranmaru Shindo and his sister Saya survived an attack that killed nearly everyone in their apartment complex, including their parents. On his first day as a cop in the Mobile Investigation Unit, Ranmaru has to battle zombies who are controlled little human-faced monsters. Bullets have no effect on the zombies: they can only be killed by the swords of the ultra-secret Tokko Unit. Sneaking into guarded sites, Ranmaru learns that these devils were loosed when an aristocratic Italian family tried to attain immortality during the Middle Ages. Until all 108 devils are killed, the portal between and human and demon worlds will remain open. Tokko is a grisly variation on the familiar anime theme of demons invading Tokyo, but it's not for children or the squeamish. (Unrated, suitable for ages 17 and older: graphic violence, violence against women, grotesque imagery, brief nudity, risqué humor, profanity, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon - Amazon.com

Shindou Ranmaru has just graduated from police academy and assigned to Tokki: Special Mobile Investigation Force. On the day of his graduation, he meets the half-naked girl he has been seeing in his dreams, Rokujo Sakura. It turns out she works for a secret group within Tokki, known as Tokko: Special Public Safety Task Force. Shindou ends up joining Tokko to avenge his parents' death, and solve the mystery mass murder of residents in his hometown of Machida. Bottomless pits start to appear around Japan, and mysterious creatures emerge from them, linked to the mass murder of humans
