It’s also most of what “Tokko” is made up with, along with a profitable amount of totally gratuitous cleavage. It’s fairly amusing, very violent, beautiful well-written and its solidly suspenseful storyline is only marred by an ending that… isn’t. Almost is, but isn’t.
Five years ago, a hole appeared in front of a Machida apartment complex. Savage demonic creatures emerged and slaughtered almost everyone in the building.

Ranmaru Shindo is on his first day’s duty as a cop, when his team is attacked by zombies controlled by demon larvae. They’re only saved by the intervention of sword-wielding cops from the mysterious division, TOKKO. One of them is a childhood friend of Ranmaru’s, Sakura, who has been haunting his dreams recently.
He becomes convinced that the zombies and TOKKO are connected to the Machida massacre… and the exclusive tattoo that’s appeared on his arm. Of course, he’s just — turns out demons are flooding into our world courtesy of a shattered alchemist’s box. But thanks to demon symbiotes — like the one on Ranmaru’s arm — TOKKO is able to fight and demolish them.
So naturally Ranmaru is transferred into TOKKO, and he turns out to be stronger and more skilled than anyone suspected. But his investigations into the alchemist box and the Machida massacre become more perilous when a disagreeable weak man becomes eager — and Ranmaru faces losing more than his soul.
The first half of “Tokko” is a sort of detective account wrapped in supernatural trappings, but the second half is when things really heat up. Basically, the whole world will be devoured by demons unless our heroes cessation them… except they have demons in their gain bodies. What a mess.
But it’s a fun mess — lots of creepy cliffhangers, spraying gore, dismembered bodies, zombies, monstrously carnivorous demons, swords, and (for the boys) utterly gratuitous boobery. And once Ranmaru settles into Tokko, things inaugurate getting even more violent than before. Basically that’s the core of the series, along with the detective work.
But it has some solid atmosphere as well, especially in the second half — Sakura fighting the “contaminated Ranmaru,” the horrific climactic battle, and walls crawling with demons. And it has some comic dialogue, usually from Kunikida (“I was told you were bent on a respirator in ICU, stoned out of your skull on a morphine drip, and ****ing the bed from your internal injuries!” “I have a really genuine doctor…? “) .
So what’s the dilemma? Well, there’s only half an ending. The immediate storyline is nicely wrapped up in the last episode, but there are quiet some flapping threads. And the last few seconds shuffle the region just assist out. It’s splendid distinct they intended to continue the anime, but sadly that didn’t happen.
Ranmaru is a glorious typical action-anime hero — he’s sort of boyish and cute, but can be a brutal fighter when the legend demands. Sakura is a bit too mysterious to be an inspiring esteem interest, but Kureha, Ryoko and the kooky Saya all are involving. And Kunikida is a radiant hilarious character — a foul-mouthed, womanizing, tough-as-nails police chief who says everything in a plain wail.
“Tokko” is all blood, skin and swords, with lots of action and an spicy detective fable. Unprejudiced don’t examine considerable closure at the finale.
From the imaginative mind of Tori Fujisawa comes Tokko to TV sets around the world.
Tokko takes viewers into the world of Shindou Ranmaru, a newly minted investigator from the Police Academy with a disturbing fantasy world. If it’s not his prancing in her lingerie sister, the half naked dream girl, or the wave of mass murders that invades his dream life, he is one mal adjusted cop. As a young man, his family and an entire apartment complex was murdered in Machida, leaving one other observe. Haunting his dreams, the half-naked girl (Rokujo Sakura) turns up at head quarters as piece of Tokko, the secret division of Tokki. Unlike regular cops, their weapons are swords with no mercy. Transferring his dream life to reality, he forges a friendship with her and begins to understand the forces that terminated thousands of people in Machida.
Tokko focuses on the appearance of mysterious bottomless holes that lead to murders and `possessions’ that turn the victims into zombies that threated the whole city. That’s where Tokko comes in. Their function is to battle the invaders from beneath, no matter what the cost.
I must say, Tokko is a entertaining sight at the life of Shindou and the forces that pursue him during his life. `Awakening’ is a first class episode that draws you into the next, and the next, and so on. Packed with adventure, consuming characters from the slacker rookies, the heavenly Rokujo Sakura, the explosive head of division one, Kurkida, his volupterous sister, and the Elite division, the Tokki. It is addicting, with 22 puny segments designed to speed into one another as one continious production. Perhaps that is next.
Tokko is classy, from art to script. It has the mysterious, `buy me, look me’ factor that so many productions lack. Congratulations Manga.com, you have a winner.
