now after watching it i have 1 thing to say, Brilliant!

from the makers that brought you Ghost in the shell, this show was very different frm Ghost. however like all of their movies that i've watched the character development in the movie was great and interesting.

JIN-ROH's setting is Tokyo–not the Tokyo of the future, but of an alternate past. In the bizarre, ironic tradition of Philip K. Dick’s THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE, JIN-ROH presents a Japan that lost a different Second World War–not to America, but to Nazi Germany. Now, more than ten years after the defeat, the occupation troops have left, but their legacy is JIN-ROH’s twilight-zone city where the domestic terrorism of "The Sect" plays out in everyday bombings and street battles against the counterterrorist Capital Police–and their elite armored, helmeted, and red-goggled Special Unit.

the artist wasn't stingy on red, the red(blood) was real and just right.

The movie JIN-ROH is about those in society who are predators among prey. But these "beasts" never bother to change their shape; like Red Riding Hood’s wolf, they merely drape themselves with human clothes that do not even disguise the eyes, teeth and claws of a killer. Society rightly fears them. In JIN-ROH the Capital Police are themselves hunted–marked for elimination as a force by their own government, and by a public eager to forget the past and look the other way from the present. So what is it then, writer Oshii asks, that draws the human ever closer–when she can see that the wolf hides nothing?


But this movie unlike, Blood : the last vampire or Endless Waltz, this movie was more complicated and darker..

so i would give this movie

It's quite nice..
Storyline is quite close to reality and it isn't exaggerated.
But the story quite sad IMO..
Quite old already this OVA..
