The Anime Masterpiece Nobody Knows About

[@UliTroyo]

That’s not the final bit, though. The scene ends with the guy with the mustache lowering his gun, observing from afar. It shows even the other wolves didn’t know whether he’s a human. It’s all complicated by the fact that he very likely knew that he was being observed, and she was dead anyway, along with him if he spared her. This echoes the girl’s “what choice did I have?”

[@figonkus4223]

Because the echo of the shot seemed so distant i thought, that the mustage guy killed her

[@MrSobe00]

I think it is supposed to be ambiguous who actually shoots her. We don't see a muzzle flash, only hear the shot. There is no blood so we can't tell where the shot came from. Even at the end of the story the viewer doesn't know whether he is a wolf or not.

[@mikehintz]

I remember (IIRC) but at the end scene in one edit I heard, one of the wolf brigade observing the shooting and saying "and the wolf ate little red riding hood) Which is how the original Red Riding Hood story ended.

[@berketetik3118]

@@MrSobe00 No we can see that the mustache guy's gun was not fired as the hammer was cocked meaning he did not shoot.

[@MrSobe00]

@@berketetik3118 On a semi auto pistol the hammer recocks itself every shot. It's the difference between single action (hammer back) and double action (hammer forward, so that the trigger pulls the hammer back.) You have to decock it to shoot again from double action.

What really got me were the little details in that final.. well.. massacre. Like how even though the agents were there to kill Fusei he'd still only shoot after they shot first and it'd be a quick "precise" (by MG42 standards) burst to the chest, then when he reaches his friend that betrays him instead of a quick burst he just about empties a whole belt into him. Or how the music during the whole thing would sound more and more desperate after each guy was gunned down. Thing was a work of art I'd say.

[@William_Fei]

Just by a animation standard this is absolutely a work of art. I watch it because of its fame in quality. It's completely hand-drawn, but many scenes just look like being made using computer 3D software🤣🤣I have a weird interest in these kind of animation

[@1Maklak]

Thank you for explaining the plot in a way that kind of makes sense. The first time I watched Jin Roh, I couldn't understand why different police departments are shooting at each other because of an accident in the sewers. It's worth mentioning that Japan has a history of a very intense inter-service rivalry between the navy and the army where they refused to help each other while squabbling for resources. Staging an incident to frame the other is not out of the question.

[@1Maklak]

@@georgyekimov4577This remids me about a book "Aquarium" by traitor Suvorov. One of his first missions was to travel unseen and write something weird on a school wall to make another Intelligence Agency look bad. It also reminds me of how Adolf Hitler run things. He had multiple organizations doing roughly the same thing (army and Waffen SS; Gestapo, SS and police), so that no one could consolidate enough power to threaten him and his underlings would fight for his favor and priority access to resources. The regional governors could meet at most 4 at a time and were banned from having a big conference. In I, Claudius, a big problem for Emperors and the Senate was that the man in charge of Praetorian Guard had 4000 overpaid veterans under his command and that was enough to be a de facto shadow ruler. The only way to oust him was to corrupt his second in command into arresting him, but the problem remained. Eventually an Emperor abolished the Praetorians and had a much smaller and more specialized Palatial Guard, while City Garrison was a separate organization and it solved the problem. Finally, even modern Democracy is all about checks and balances and separation of powers and the organizations fight for influence, but cooperate too.

The Red Riding Hood stuff is actually very integral to what the movie is about. It's meant to show a distinct difference between how stories are usually told and how things actually go. You have RRH who's the good side and the wolf as the bad side in the book. In Jin-Roh, both RRH and the wolf are the good guy and both of them are the bad guy. Life isn't like a story, even less so a fairy tale. Sometimes there are no happy endings and good and evil are always a matter of perspective. That's why the movie concludes with the fairy tale book lying in a dirty puddle at the end.

Important comment. Jin-Roh is less of a fantasy than using real world psychological principles to great effect. There is no good or bad, black or white, it's all grey and *everyone* is struggling.

[@LetztezBatallion]

@@Delapadation It's powered armor. Not sci-fi a la master chief level powered armor, but still powered armor. The armor plating on the thing is thick enough to make the user impervious to small arms fire and (relatively) big explosions (but only from the front), it has life support and night vision, integrated communications, anti-flashbang measures and a bunch of other things. And the armor is the one holding all that weight, not the user. It's why they can run around with armor plating you'd find in an IFV. IIRC jin-roh never goes into details because it's the third and last movie of the saga so it's presumed you already know (and it's not important for the plot really), but the other 2 (stray dogs and red spectacle) go into more detail about the armor itself. It's called "Protect-gear".

Then the main character can be seen as bad for defending the government at the start by hunting down the members of the Sect but then seen as good by bonding with the mourning sister, before we find out the truth, making him flip between good and bad. He flips between good and bad again when he is taking down Public Security agents sent to kill him he is seen as good taking down the agents who want to kill him and the rest of wolf brigade but then at the end he is seen as bad for killing K the person he bonded with beforehand.

4:52 this also happens in air gear, where they say something and make it the whole entire idea. like naruto and wanting to be hokage, but worse.

Example, the side character, Kazu, has a moment were he realizes he often hides behind the sidelines and attacks when no one notices. His metaphor for this is "If I wait for the person to unlock their front door, I will sneak behind them to get in" THIS IS ALL IN HIS HEAD BTW. He makes a point (in his head) that he shouldn't wait anymore and should budge open. All of a sudden his opponent Nike fucking dares him to open his door. (Something like that I haven't read air gear in a while). And this metaphor goes on for fucking EVERRRRRRRRR. ANOTHER EXAMPLE! Ikki, main character, explains that using air trecks (Electric rollerblades) feels like being a bird spreading their wings and that the world is his sky or something like that (This comment he made to himself) AND NOW EVERYONE IN THE MANGA WONT SHUT UP ABOUT IT. BIRD THIS BIRD THAT OH LOOK AT ME I'M IN THE FUCKING SKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY I BELIEVE I CAN FLY, I BELIEVE I CAN TOUCH THE SKY - (Jontron) Honestly Air Gear has some bad moments, the main villain doesn't even make sense. But does that mean Air Gear is terrible? No. Air Gear is an Anime/Manga to turn your brain off to, it's art and character designs are interesting and the fight scenes are so fun to watch/look at. But sometimes I wish it wasn't an ecchi, serious moments can get hard to get into or taken seriously because some girl has her tits bouncing n shit. Oh and one last thing Onigiri has to be the absolute worst character that makes me feel so uncomfortable. You can watch some of the episodes on youtube but the rest is on hulu and Kindle has the manga. Sorry for the rant, this video is about Jin Roh, not Air Gear

[@davidlockhart6575]

I watched JinRoh a few times...and the reason the characters are shallow is because...thats how war is. Thats how conflict turns everyone involved, from the middle managers to the individual warriors. Everyone's emotions stop mattering. Do you really know the bros you deploy with when they dont have the uniform on? No, not really. Do you know who your killing? No. Does the organization you serve care who you are? No. Do they really care who your killing? Unless they are a key mover in a tactically/ strategically important area, No. You, the individual warrior, go into survival mode and you shove your emotions deep down until later...much later. Because conflict is literally a factory of death and destruction aimed at bending the will of the opposing sides of whatever organization you happen to be a part of. As the individual warrior, these people you are killing and getting killed by are not your personal enemies. You don't know them and they don't know you, and its just a huge train wreck of individuals being lead by individuals and those leading individuals being lead by others until there is an "Us" vs "Them". JinRoh is an exploration on how conflict turns everyone into numbers, cogs, and parts in the meat grinder that is war. It is about how noone actually fighting in the conflict actually matters individually to the conflict. Noone actively fighting in the conflict knows why they are actually killing that other person in the conflict besides that that person is on the "other" side. Its an exploration on how there are people who write the orders and there are people who do the orders and those two people live generally different lives. Its an action packed, anti war film. Because in real conflict EVERYONE is mentally and emotionally destroyed. Once you know what you know, you cant unknow it. Also, the metaphor for red riding hood is the wolf is any organization that uses people for their own aim, and they act like they are your friends, family, etc. to engender you to use everything you are and could become to their ends but really they will eat you up and spit you out and find another in a heart beat.

I think it's amazing that someone is talking about this movie even if it took me 2 years to find it.

[@RadicalEdward2]

Fun fact: the studio behind Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated loved Jin-Roh so much that they straight up included "legally distinct" German automatons in it as the finale antagonists with Udo Kier (Yuri from Command & Conquer) as their leader.

[@corys7604]

Literally everyone that watches anime and isn’t under the age of 25 (most of them) knows about Jin-Roh.

Jin-Roh's armor reminds me of SAS: Zombie Assault for some reason

[@RazorToaster]

The fact that this is the third movie and is the only animated one is an even more forgotten fact.

[@SpyKid527]

Jin-Roh had something to it that just made it different. I watched Akira a couple months before watching jin-roh and akira was good and all, but jin-roh had a much bigger impact on me. I was chasing after an indescribable feeling once I was done watching it, and I have watched it several more times, nothing else scratches that itch, it is an amazing movie

What? nobody knows about this in what universe? This is a very well known anime and has been for years.

[@gemonizam2469]

This is my number one Anime movie, "Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade Stands Alone" even compare to its origin manga and to its live action movie adaptations because it is the continuity of centuries of old fairy-tale tradition at its best... You cannot simply read the original Brothers Grimm's Little Red Riding Hood to children just because of its brutality as you cannot watch Hiroyuki Okiura's Jin-Roh just for its brutality... it is indeed a masterpiece! Click bait title or not, I don't agree with "...Nobody Knows About", it inspired video games, movies and remakes like Netflix's "Illang: The Wolf Brigade" (2018) and its Korean, its not that good but it still shows Jin-Roh is popular, maybe not popular as Akira but still known very well imo...

Sometimes life is tragic, and the person still doesn't change. For me it's a good story, because it's about who we are and how it's not always easy to change, and we never get to know why.

[@lordcorporal4247]

I was looking for a comment like this. Totally agree I had a good time watching the live action one. It was no masterpiece but I enjoyed it all the way through. I was in a mood where I was just clicking and scrolling impatiently thru Netflix movies and this one kept my attention fully and found myself halfway thru while still hovering over skip. Put the remote down and enjoyed it

[@rogeriomiranda779]

about the ending: didn't the protagonist give up to shoot her, only for a dude with a rifle to finish her off? it may be a mandela effect but ok.(there's also a netflix korean live action called illang, it's similar but worse imo)

[@QuadfishTym]

Almost. One of the other wolf brigade soldiers was watching what happened with pistol raised, and puts it back down after Fuse shoots her. I think it's implied he would have shot her (or maybe both of them, even) if Fuse couldn't go through with it.

[@rogeriomiranda779]

@@QuadfishTym damn, i didn't get that, that is tragic. now for Illang, the protagonist let the girl live and she runs away in a train, while they see each other for the last time through the window. the weakest part about the live action to me is how the kerberos machinegun felt weak, with a generic sound effect.

[@Pintexx]

I honestly think he didn’t actually shoot her. He’s always one step ahead of everyone so he probably shot and missed purposely but the girl knew exactly what the plan was and played dead. I wanna see a sequel so bad
