Tokyo Babylon 1999 is a live action video based upon TB five years after the end of the Manga. The actors who play Subaru and Seishirou are Toshihide Tonesaku and Wataru Shihodo respectively, and the plot deals with the supposed end of the world that would come up in year 1999.

Subaru-kun, who is now a slender and graceful 21-year-old young man, is lead by Lady Sumeragi to investigate the mysterious death of a wayward Omnyouji called Kaneyama, an old disciple of the Sumeragi Clan, and the strange events that he seemed to be up to before he passed away, for she correctly suspects that her old Omnyoudo student has been killed by the actual Sakurazukamori, that is no one but dear Seishirou-san.
The real problem at hand is that lunatic Kaneyama has been filling up the heads of seven schoolgirls with the beleif that the world will end up soon, and that they were the "special" persons destined to judje all humans and punish their bad deeds. So they begin using the Dark Omnyoujitsu spells they found on a book at Kaneyama´s place for doing so, and of course, Subby is the one to stop them and saving them from the terrible consecuences of irresponsible Omnyoujitsu practices.

The fact is that, before his death to Sei-chan´s hands, Kaneyama had casted a very powerful jitsu called the Spell of the Seven Stars, through which he had doted the seven girls with incredible power by influencing over her wounded souls. Seishirou explains to Subaru that his intentions where to put an end to this madness by killing the crazy Omnyouji, but had not counted on the girls going on to achieve his goal.

The plot is very interesting and the special effects of the movie are really good, as well as the personification of both lovers by the very talented Tonesaku and Shihodo-san, specially this last one playing our dear and supposedly senseless Sakurazukamori assasin. It provides an excellent closure to the TB plot.
