Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade
I think that I've never been so mistaken about something before. I've always seen pictures and gifs on Jin-Roh on the internet, they looked cool, violent and somehow futuristic. Man, I was wrong. This is a much more personal and emotional ride than whatever I was expecting.
The movie at least starts showing what it is: a post second world war Japan, rebuilding itself and trying to deal with the civil unrest of the country. There's violence, yes, but it's not the focus or big part of the run time.
Tumblr media
The movie spends quite some time with who, at first, I thought was the protagonist, for her to die quite brutally. Only then we meet Fuse, the main character. I think I can say this as a compliment when he remembered me of Guts at times, from Berserk, my favorite manga.
His journey through guilt, grief, lack of identity... It was quite brutal. I think this also parallels well the japanese society of that time. Destroyed by the war, a new government, their own identity as a people shaken. And, even then, they became so economically strong, as Fuse was strong with his killing.
Tumblr media
Having his best friend be the main antagonist, and it only showing at the last parts of the movie, was really good! Again, another thing that made me think of Berserk. Having both Fuse and Kei play each other without knowing was a surprise to me! I didn't expect the bitter ending, but I think it matched well with the mood of the movie.
Tumblr media
I really enjoyed Jin-Roh, although I'm kinda glad it took me this long to watch it. Knowing a bit more about Japan's history and also having dealth with a identity crisis made me appreciate this movie more. It's a really good slow burn!

What fans say:
The Pagemaster:
I love how clever it is about literature references and the love of books and libraries it promotes. Scared me silly as a kid. The Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde scene? heartstopping when you're like six.
Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade:
The story is depressing, but oddly endearing in it's own way. It uses the fairytale little red riding hood as a wonderful metaphor. My favorite scene is the very first few scenes where they show off the riots and the secret service. ALSO THE ARMOR??? HELLO?? THE DESIGNERS POPPED OFF WITH THE ARMOR
