 Jin-Rou is a historical fiction film set in an alternate timeline a decade following the devastation of WW2. In this divergent timeline, Japan emphasizes on aggressive economic growth in order to return to its former glory. This simultaneously resulted in civil disorder and economic difficulties for many. Subsequently, the prevalence of anti-government organizations rose, and violence between the government and these groups increased. In order to combat this uprising, the capital police was created. at its core, Jin-Rou is a raw story about experiencing tender emotion. The film accurately depicts conflict amidst social disarray, with circumstances that are representational of many current governmental disputes. The animation within the movie is utterly stunning. The fluidity between frames is seamless, with quality held at nothing but the highest standard. The art style itself utilizes intense realism and immaculate hand-rendered backgrounds to produce an authentic experience. In addition, the soundtracks blend seamlessly with the atmosphere of the film. The story is deep and complex, one that is difficult to comprehend without analysis, but centralizes on the bare bones of being human and committing sin. It’s a story about coming to terms with your own flaws, recognizing that pain coincides with life, and understanding that victimhood and villainy are not that black and white. Metaphorical, poetic, and a literary beauty, Jin-rou infuses intrinsic truth and a classic story into the perfect amalgamation of a film. |

| Enjoy! |
| Tho a movie is high on my watchlist so I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it. It is a bit dated, so the fact that you praised its animation speaks volumes. Contrary to many of the anime coming out today, the movie seems to be drenched in heavy themes and things to think about. I’ll be sure to watch it soon! |

| I actually haven't heard of this movie. It sounds pretty cool, I think I'll watch it |
| Hmm... a country seeking a return to former glory, civil disorder and economic difficulty, I'm not sure how everyone's country is doing but here in America these feel like some pretty relevant themes. Interesting note, apparently the director and key animator for Jin-Rou, Hiroyuki Okiura, also did key animation on Akira! This ones definitely getting a high place on my plan-to-watch list |
| Well you sure praised it a lot. I usually have high expectations & even more so now after reading this. This better be good >_< 🙃😆. |
