Wolves...not men

"We are not men disguised as mere dogs. We are wolves disguised as men.

Could also be a line from Wolf's Rain, lol.

that’s beautiful.

Dogs by Pink Floyd.

Agreed, soundtracks such as this has undoubtedly been made beautiful that it should be the first inside.

Words cannot describe how beautiful this is brings a tear to my eye how beautiful this is going into to mix with enigma MCMXC A.D

Armageddon is not coming and if something is being forgotten it deserves to be forgotten. There is no unknown masterpiece on this planet, unless it was never published.

Miss Yoko Kanno is a class of her own. Great musician/composer and vocalist.

Anyone who gives me Space Lion and Grace Omega is deserving of no less than my utmost respect and admiration

@@nitrocharge2404 "Some other time" and "Butter Sea" the list goes on ❤

Wait what?!?! That just blew my mind

Yes, Yoko Kano is Gabriella Robin, minds be blown… Especially for songs like this.

Not sure "badass" is the word I'd use. It's kind of like calling Grave of the Fireflies badass.

​ Jason Fenton "badass" perhaps in the sense that it's a severe and impassive story. One that shudders, and goes on without fear of hurting or saddening the viewer.

It's beautiful and terrible. A haunting reminder of the true cost of Pax Romana.

That ending is traumatic as fuck, TBH.

I've not seen it but I'm going to look for it now

Patrick Bateman Sad truth....they really dont. :(

There is some truth to what you say, but watch The Shape of Voice, it is an emotional roller coaster that pulled my heart strings similar to The Wolf Brigade.

Yep. *SIP* Jin-Roh was a good anime.

Lots of movies like to portray the happy ending idea for the audiences pleasure. This movie tells you the harsh truth: You'll never get a happy ending in reality. There will always be conflict when there is life.

*sip*

Well said .

I think you just perfectly summed up why I love this movie so much.

Nah I think we've seen plenty of true evil in this world as of late

Epic comment! I can't beat this!

​@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 Yes and it will be more terrible in the Future!

@@Fanfiktion1988 Eh maybe not

Wow that's sad. I always saw this anime as a kid in those pre-views before movies and always wondered what it was about. Now i know. Im in tears and i haven't even watched the movie yet!!!

yeah

@Tracy Newby wow man, that's awesome ! I wish I was there, that must have been absolutely sick

That was a great critique! Thanks for sharing! This movie had such a massive impact on me. I saw it in college when I was taking a course on fairy-tale myths and stories. It's such a beautiful and tragic narrative with roots that run deep, centuries before I ever saw the movie.

Excellently put

Lmao

it's a piece of art,what's wrong with her

Yeah... this anime is definitely not terrible at all... and the OST is awe inspiring and beautiful....

For me it kind of reminds me of the Braveheart theme ;)

Its like I have heard it somewhere else...

I swore I had heard it before the first time I watched the film, it really reminds me of some LOTR soundtracks by Enya or something.

@@Snooperking Yeah, I'm picking some Enya tunes too, but also some tunes from "The best is yet to come" song from MGS. Someone once told me that if a newly heard song sounds familiar it is because you like it so much the brain creates a link to your past to trigger nostalgia.

For Enya, I highly recommend "Boadicea". Been entranced ever since I heard it on season 2 of Criminal Minds.

You are a tough boy

@@aoe9857 I didn't mean to sound "tough" at all. It just didn't make me cry like it did for many others. It was still sad of course but I didn't push me that far.

Same. Just felt empty and emotional but no crying. What a story, and what an ending. I watched it for the first time last night! One of my favorite movies ever already!

That's how you'll feel when bad things happen in your life. You'll never get to cry it out, you'll just feel empty. People will accuse you of being a monster, but it's OK. You didn't choose this.

Otaku culture: *n o*

@Corona Virus I just saw the trailers for these shows you mentioned and they all have interesting aesthetics, but the animation quality doesn't really compare to jin roh from what I've seen

@Un Peruano Mas Could you recommend more Movies?

@@12-OneTwo I'm surprised nobody has said Akira

Try Ghost In the Shell and its sequel Innocence, both are made by the same studio (Production I.G) so you can get the vibe of Jin Roh animation style from it

I'm glad someone gets it. There are too many Wehraboos in this comments section, they somehow don't see the obvious condemnation of authoriarianism and just love the movie because the authoritarians won in the end.

genuinely one of the few that gets this movie, great analysis

​​@@toastgod1276 jin roh has nothing to do with condemning authoritarianism lmao, the same way it doesn't promote it too. the movie was ultimately showing the inevitability of tribes, with the sect, the national police force, and the keberos corp itself. heck, they said it themselves: "we are not men disguised as dogs, we are wolves disguised as men" showing how they ultimately prioritize the well being of the group over their individuality, as op pointed out. I fail to see how jin roh is "anti-authoritiarian"

@@undefinedhuman7404 Obviously there are multiple ways to read the movie, and tribalism is of course a key theme of it. But I would also consider anti-authoritarianism to be a major theme. The movie does depict the needless brutality of tribalism. But it also depicts the way the tribes attempt to consolidate power in the government in their own hands. And most importantly, the way that each tribe demands that service and allegiance to the tribe come before any individual's considerations, be they love or guilt or remorse. Both of these tie into the connection between the government in the movie and that of Nazi Germany. There's a clear parallel between the the conflict of the Capital Police vs the Special Unit and the real life rivalry of the Brownshirts vs the SS in the authoritarian state of Nazi Germany. Just like how the Capital Police was a branch of the Capital Police, the SS were originally an offshoot of the Brownshirts. And of course, these were all paramilitary/state police forces. Especially with all the Nazi imagery, I can't help but think the movie was trying to say something about it. The authoritarian nature of the Wolf Brigade, Special Unit, and indeed the entirety of the Capital Police is a key antagonistic force throughout the movie. It's what pits two formerly close friends, Henmi and Fuse, against each other, and it's what breaks down Fuse into a slave to the Brigade rather than a person with the freedom to think and feel. I should clarify that tribalism is still of course a driving antagonistic force also. It's what motivates Fuse to stay with Wolf Brigade after all. But the movie wouldn't have been set in a Nazi-themed police state if it wasn't at least in part a criticism of such a system. Jin-Roh has countless themes. Among them, it shows an extreme authoritarian government from the side of the oppressors. Rather than showing only how such governments affect those whom they directly oppress, it places especial focus on showing how they destroy the humanity of their ranks, how they endanger their own people, and how not even the oppressors truly win.

@@undefinedhuman7404 Authoritarianism, ultimately, is the same thing as you described with Tribalism. They lead to the same place. It's sacrifice of the individual for "The Greater Good". The net result is always massive loss of life, through war and genocide. Same reason Socialism, Communism and Fascism are all failed ideologies. People who think otherwise are blind to history and deny what the logical conclusion that these ideas always lead up to.

In my opinion 20 years is not that much, just our lifespan is too short.

I think you got it wrong my dude. The girl is the wolf. That's the whole trick. Give it another watch.

@@despilks ако си му рекао

@@despilks My dude, Fuse's superior literally refers to him as a wolf in man's clothing at the end. The trick is actually that they are both victims and predators.

I read reviews on myanimelist and thought this might not be that good. After the movie I realized that they were just too stupid to understand what was happening or they did not pay attention. Did not feel anything most of the movie but when the credits started I began crying.

Nin Mok i didnt thought about officer’s case tbh

Its hard to find anime like this nowadays hence why I rewatch older animes. 80,90, and 2000 where peak anime imo

I am a retired basketball player. My first pro gig was in Shanghai, China. I caught the DVD back in 2003 one of the best decisions I ever made.

I agree, it's a case of people not being able to fully escape what they feel is their natural way of life, when in truth they always had the choice, they just didn't choose to.

@@mrmoviemanic1 this is a better take than 90% of the pseudo-philosophical bastards in this comment section.

@@_drnova1064 HA! "pseudo-philosophical." Nice one.

Did you like the English Dub version, I personally think it's probably one of the best Dubbed Anime Movies of All-Time.

Eng dub suck.

which movie? is ist with leonhard die caprisonne? hahahahahahahahahahahaha

@@mrmoviemanic1 Its not a bad dub, though I still prefer it subbed.

Most definitely. I miss it

Same

Totally, i dont think we’ll ever see anything like it again

Now it's all child molester stuff

Yeah, they really cared about the color tone to match the anime's theme

I've watched a lot of anime films, and this one is among one of my top favorites. Haunting music and atmosphere, interesting drama, very well done and nearly realistic design and movement from the characters, and more. It also says a lot as before I usually preferred movies with a lot of action, and now, more of an adult, I'm enjoying a lot of slower paced films like Blade Runner and BR2049, and even movies like this.

@@roboguy75 I actually had the same thought when I was reading over some criticism of this film. A lot of the people who criticized it for being "too boring" seemed rather young to me. I think Jin-Roh is a movie that you need to be an adult to enjoy, because loss and regret are central elements of this film. More than that, this film grapples with the idea that reality is not black and white, and that the decisions that we often must make are not the decisions that we wanted to make. And more often than not, those decisions impart a weight that we carry for the rest of our lives. Until someone has begun to wrestle with such ideas, which come as the natural result of continuing to be alive, I don't think that they can truly appreciate films like this.

User0768 Unfortunately. And like you said, there’s no real good guy in this which honestly I feel more movies, shows, etc need more of. I like the usual good Vs evil but sometimes we need something more nuanced like this. It’s definitely up there with movies I enjoy like Ghost in the Shell, AKIRA, Castle in the Sky, etc.

Wolf's Rain is underrated as fuck. I didnt even rate it higher than 7/10 (which is already good, since I use the full scale), but the special atmosphere of that show is top notch.

Perfect Blue Ghost in the Shell/Innocence Grave of the fireflies Jin-Roh The End of Evangelion Ninja Scroll.

良い話だねえ

It killed me

Yeah, most of the animes now a days focus on waifus, cliches, generic visual and so on

calm down millennial you're just getting old and your preferences are of less relevance now

@@user-bn5xg6wu1p gtfo zoomer

That and garbage ass yaoi shite

Even the stuff that isn't like that and has some semblance of quality behind it doesn't, or can't, really reach the heights of stuff like this, Akira, Angel's egg, Ghost in the Shell, etc. It's disappointing, but the period where creativity and the desire to tell something important or thought provoking is gone I fear.

I agree dude. They just don’t make anime like that anymore. Genocidal Organ is more of a modern military classic similar imo.

Eternal Truth It’s on crunchyroll and if you wanna watch it free I’m sure you can find some sketchy site that has it.

@@iamgar6age from nyaa

the music looks like retelling the movie

more than the song itself, it's when u remember the scene in the anime.. "And the wolf ate up little red riding hood." one of the most horrible sentence to hear at the end of an anime

It's just sad that the whole last third of the song isn't in the movie... I just watched it and I didn't hear it anywhere.
