The plot is basically this:
The lead character is an innocent character is gradually corrupted and killed.
Humanity is revealed to be no better while evil anti-heroes and evil villains fight all around him.
I like this movie, not because of the sex but for its cynicism.

Just like all the Urotsukidouji movies, this is an mix of hentai and anime where
story and coolness fueled make-belief coexistent with the erotic motivated make belief.
The "Legend of the Demon Womb" is much like the new version "The Urotsuki",
an more coherent story based on the first movie and it is possible the best movie in the entire series, depending on ... what you think of the way the show finally ends.
Artistically, the "legend of the demon womb" is mysteriously hallucinogen, it is colorful and dark. The sex scenes are basically oversexual nightmares from real world persons that someone wrote down and put into a movie
using magic to make them plausible.

It is not just perverse, its also artistic and got good sense of horror mystery.
and sexy.. so very sexy!

The plot is basically evil versus evil with a great sense of perverse mystery
that makes you not fall into darkness induced apathy.
Somehow you care about the characters despite how broken and psychotic they are, perhaps because of their pain and not despite it.

It was very hard to watch this improved new version and compare it to the old one which I loved.

The Urotsuki, is a much needed and very enjoyable re-imagination of the old.

If you haven't seen the old one I don't the new one doesn't mean much to you.
It is very fun for rare of us us who craved" ..more more more" of the old stuff.
Don't get me wrong, I love this but the bad sides is that is brutally changed and some of the original appeal is gone.

If you can see my scores, the story is much better now and you actually feel ... much more for the characters. It plays up all the emotions we experienced in the crappier original movie but in a better way.
All characters are completely changed and much less stereotypical and have more dept but rather uninteresting and dulled down.
The sole exception to this Amano Jaku who actually became more interesting.
Alot of the women are less cute, less stupid and look more adult
but they all look like identical supermodels who have olive oil or lube for skin.
I like the colorfulness and the psychedelically mysterious surreal exoticism and well mystery of the old movie. There is none of it in the new version, they opted it away for more grey color scale and a gritty concrete surrounding
to make the world feel more like a dystopian urban social realism and making the characters feel more tragic
The sex is much more physical, more logical and raw
in "a sex is violence" kind of way.
Still the art is way better than the most of the old movie.
But the old art was of a very varied quality especially if you count the entire old series. I have to say art is better than the old series as a hole
but art is way worse than the best art from the old series.
The art of the original first movie was horrible crap.
The flattness of the b**ches and the lack of anime hair turns me off.
I would wanted it to look more like Bible Black or at least Toshio Maeda own art.

The best thing is that manages to make a balance between being hentai and being a non-hentai story.
Each episode have one heavy sexy scene per the climax of said episode.
A very good system, that releases fear and tension and make you care more about the sex because its in the same universe as the story that you invested so much make-belief into.

The only real flaw in the quite average enjoyment is that there are no more episodes.

"Deathnote" is one of the few anime that is both highly intellectual and cynical in a very mature way.
The show is pure brain food.
If you like cynicism and a dark view on humanity and like brainy shows like the first seasons of "House", Ghost in the Shell or the old Sherlock Homes books,
This is a must see.
If you are like everybody else you probably find it disturbing
that the protagonist is a sociopath hero and the anti-villain is a amoral super detective that cares more about the challenge than saving lives.
This show is not about karma, it is about the audience enjoying intellectually
how the characters ... solve a series of problems.

There is only one thing that prevents the anime from being perfect, and that is a really crappy and superficial second season that I would have found being unwatchable was its not for its vague resemblance of the Deathnote series.

The Imari Rape scene is one of the few hentai that is actually worth seeing
and the only rape hentai that actually turns you on.
There is no hermaphrodites, no guro, no tentacles
and just rape.

Read that again after learning that Bible Black being the only hentai worth seing
and the only porn worth seeing compared to all the other real girl porn.

I watch this over and over again year after year, when I am really horny and it doesnt get better than this.

... It is simple and elegant becouse it just focus on sexiness and being well drawn.
