I always feel bad clicking on a video and then immediately closing it when I realize I havent seen the show yet, so hopefully a like and a comment offsets the retention debuff

[@ProfessorViral]

Hey, that's on me for the branding of it being non-specific. I'll always recommend watching the series/movie first!

[@shaniceguy-op5zj]

​@@ProfessorViral I highly suggest that you should watch babylon

[@Hungry_Raccoon_]

Im so glad im so braindead that it doesn’t matter, cuz if I watch the show I won’t remember much of it anyway for the context to matter.

[@sewerbrat]

@@Hungry_Raccoon_saaaame I’m so forgetful lmao

[@cologne2728]

I just rewatched Jin roh and I picked up on a lot of themes that I missed the first time and now your video is opening my eyes to so many things I was still missing. Truly eye opening

[@ProfessorViral]

Thanks so kind, and validating at once, thank you!

[@Wildgamer2205]

to put logic behind the point of the Kerberos unit and many other units like it is to dive deeper into the mentality of dictators and those in power. they need faceless soldiers willing to kill dissidents in cold blood that was the point behind the stormtroopers you also need these soldiers to be capable of conducting high stakes raids on these dissident groups with brutal efficiency that was the original purpose of Halo's Spartan IIs. Kerberos is both of these traits combined and it eventually tears the morality of its soldiers to shreds until there is nothing left but an empty shell of someone who has lost their humanity and can never get it back.

[@B..B.]

The only problem i have with Kerberos series is that I can't find it anywhere.

[@MasonA2358]

Jin-roh is exactly how I feel when I put on my uniform for military service once a month, I disconnect from my civilian self.

[@cascadianrangers728]

Interesting. I was active duty, so I wore uniform every day, but there are equivalents in active duty service as well as different training that has the same end result

[@cowboytanakarion911]

I lost it when I heard Frank Horrigan get introduced. Such a fun and terrifying idea. I hope you guys continue this series

[@Slysheen]

Great dive Prof, I'm a huge fan of the interplay between humanity, how that qualifies, and the lack of it; in fiction. You also helped clarify a few points I was hazy about so it is very much appreciated! Mainly him knowing the situation in the ending. Also completely agree with the final section, I'm more fortunate than most with my life tax but I think we can all resonate with the "easier not to think" path

[@miltiadhsmporas5051]

Already on 7 mins. Never asked my self why wolf's didn't like"see him" like he was invisible ,you opened my eyes once again.

[@ProfessorViral]

Thank you, I'm glad I could point out something new about it!

[@JNellyBoi]

Same here, idky I let such a simple thing pass by me even after watching it 5 times

[@tashibalampkin8555]

"Wake the fuck up samurai, ProfessorViral has a new video."

[@AlfredEiji]

I love this movie! I encountered it incidentally maybe over a decade ago now, and the grim ambience has stuck with me. Every now and then I think about it, but the title always eluded me. I’m glad this video came up, so I can remember this movie once more.

[@otsopaananen3229]

Man i got to tell you that youre such an sun in my days everytime im down i can start listen your videos. Also your videos are very thought provoking.

[@sacredsoup]

You reminded me of the time I used to work at a pizzeria. Of course, we occasionally made mistakes, but it always baffled me how customers would choose to be disrespectful towards us. The way they treated me, made me believe they never made mistakes or took shortcuts at their jobs. I was even surprised when people were shocked and infuriated with Boeing and the plane issues. It's like people forget companies are made up of people and people are prone to make mistakes and basically say fuck it sometimes. I'm glad you mentioned the different perspectives of mistakes, if only everyone understood this

[@maximedaunis8292]

I get what you're saying but... you know people died because of infected pizzas? And what about the plane crashes?

[@sacredsoup]

@@maximedaunis8292 I was only trying to point out my confusion of how people act like they are bewildered that someone could make a mistake at their job. I’m not talking about the consequences but rather how people are not understanding of someone’s actions. In regards to my old job, I was reflecting on the times we didn’t bring an order out on time or forgot to put mushrooms on their pizza. These mistakes would be greeted with disrespect When I made this comment I remember seeing people on the news and social media about how Boeings disregard towards safety made zero sense. I’m saying as a human I understand why they did it. I didn’t have the same reaction as these people online. I’m not saying what they did is okay, I’m just saying I understand why they did it.

[@shobooknight]

Boeings problems go far beyond simple mistakes and plane construction has high quality standards for a reason and Boeing cutting corners for profit risks lives

[@sacredsoup]

@@shobooknight I agree and I understand that there should be consequences for their actions, but that is not the point I was making. I was only referring to people’s reactions online and how they were perplexed and appalled about why someone would ever cut corners at work because I find it normal to cut corners/make mistakes at work.

[@sacredsoup]

I think I need to clarify that I am only referring to people's thought processes and why it is normal not to care and assume everything will work out. I am not saying it is okay to cut corners, I am only saying I understand why people do it.

[@vibingandtoasters]

went aboslutely feral the moment I saw Jin Roh thumbnail in my feed. Hype!!!

[@ProfessorViral]

Always happy to provide for some older anime!

[@julianrivera9505]

I love the line from fallout where someone says "everyone's wants to save the world they just can't agree on how" or something like that

[@beansworth5694]

What separates a person from a beast is the will to think, to cultivate the will to change our being, habits, and thoughts. We surrender our personhood every moment we go with the flow uncritically, but in doing so we nonetheless embrace our humanity. Humans are beasts, in varying degrees. No species universally fits the category of "people", with this framing, I do realize, but similarly nothing can be categorically excluded from the category of personhood simply for not being human. I think we ought to understand the spiritual significance the mantle of personhood implies again, but not through categorical broad gestures appealing to some metaphysical brute fact, but through instead how we understand and interface with ourselves and each other. There is still room for this within a materially grounded worldview informed by measured application of reason to refine experience, carving it out is just a good deal of work that we need each other in order to establish.

[@tashibalampkin8555]

This video comes at an hilarious time because I recently went down a rabbit hole of Naoki Urasawa's Monster analysis videos on the anime's take on good and evil.

[@ProfessorViral]

Monster is one I desperately want to get to when I have the time for a longer series. I know I'll love it

[@SolidLoach]

@@ProfessorViral You're missing out on Monster! Pluto is on Netflix too! My personal favorite is Angels Egg.

[@grimmfiend2]

Hey Awesome Video Once More, I Noticed You Improved Your Camera Quality Holy Shoot It's Pretty Good!

[@SynthieFlowers]

Just watched this movie a few days ago. Great timing!

[@ProfessorViral]

Glad to be right on time!

[@TapaniLastellar]

Wowow I wouldn't have known about this movie if it wasn't for this video. Going back all the way to 1999

[@OmegaFire11]

Never been this early before, I'll enjoy this

[@ProfessorViral]

I hope you did!

[@JustinBobby-di9zt]

Yeah, I hear you existential crisis overload. You described the state of mankind for as long as we have existed.

[@JustAGoopyGuy]

Such a banger anime yet I know nobody else that actually watched it

[@doncoria9505]

10/10 video Now we need you to see the Live Actions from the '80s, that although old, are technically sequels to Jin-Roh within the chronology of Kerberos Panzer Cops

[@Str0ngSad]

while i dont think its the greatest movie, I love Jin Roh so much

[@ProfessorViral]

It's not the top of my list, but its entirely a super solid piece of media. It's like the pinnacle of an 8. I don't think it did anything which was genre-defining or must see, but what it did do it did to a near perfect degree

[@Str0ngSad]

@@ProfessorViral I 100% agree, the pinnacle of an 8 is such a lovely way to put it haha. The visuals will live with me forever and there are so many little things I see in my life that consistently remind me of this movie. Love your channel, you do great work :)

[@MKO-zq1dx]

Not me collecting concepts for my writing.. on the real tho this is well done!

[@mattstakeontheancients7594]

Think they made a live action of this a few years ago or something very similar.

[@alejampi2]

Have you seen the live action adaptation from South Korea called "Illang: The Wolf Brigade" and if so, what did you think about the ending change?

[@ProfessorViral]

I haven't seen that myself, so I unfortunately can't say

[@alejampi2]

@@ProfessorViral I would recommend it, it does change a few scenes for the sake of making it more action oriented, but the more important scenes are recreated as faithfully as possible given the budget AND it explores SK Fuse choosing the other option at the end (granted some of the circumstances have been altered to keep it from being a "Kobayashi Maru" scenario as presented in "Jin-Roh"). Many JR fans didn't like it because of this change to the ending but I appreciated it as a mere alternative, especially since it's obvious the script writer and director IMHO clearly understand and love the source material. It's on Netflix I believe, at least last i checked, I bought the blu-rays of both. Anyway thanks for responding, love your content.

[@mattstakeontheancients7594]

Just posted I thought there was a live action of this. Think it was on Netflix. Glad I didn’t imagine it. 2nd the recommendation it was really good.

Such a tragic story

[@mohamed-ku6ll]

wont you make a review of psycho pass providence

[@marocat4749]

Great video, and as hard as its aproviate, , also pretty interesting how the first modern war, was a failure, and surprising hesitency to kill, Oh the creator definitly likes 1984. Oh reminds me of the behind the bastards episode on a google study how, baly people that work there are punished and disincentivize, to care because its, inconvineient, pressure to , not caring making it easier, ... the later story. Its scary indeed. Honestly seems to be too how corruption and how bad stuff sneaks in, when caring, gets just shrugged off, again, and again. and again, and again and repetition is how wwe learn pattern

[@ProfessorViral]

It's a shame how common it is, to make not caring the default state. Workplaces will fit entirely within regulations, but create culture or situations which skirts outside of it. Like saying of course you should be honest with a supervisor, but finding a punishable offense that's "unrelated" if you do. Head down becomes the easiest way, and everything keeps sucking

[@ProfessorViral]

You should probably talk to someone about whatever you're holding in if this is how you speak with other people. What is making you feel so much worse about yourself that everyone else has to be insulted? Life isn't very fun being angry all the time, if you want to, you can start making that change

I do not want to bother you but please please atleast take one look at a house in fata morgana please its long visual novel but its a story that deserves every second given its one of the most beautiful human stories ive ever layed eyes on I would put it on par with berserk and while I dont want to sound arrogant or anything of that sort no other story youve covered not even vinland saga comes close to its incredibleness please take one look just one look theres videos of it on KZbin see a review evwn please give it a chance I know you wont regret ut

[@abrarahmad6370]

Great video, but I feel like points you argued for could be shortened to almost half of the entire length of this video. You give too many convoluted examples which take up too much time, instead put in a few great examples. After the 20-23 min mark, it was really a drag to go through, not because I wasn't interested but because just how long it was and how elaborate the examples were. I really like your channel, and I'm all about this type of content. But, THE. VIDEO. IS. JUST. TOO. LONG. AND. ELABORATE. WHEN. IT. DOESN'T. NEED. TO. BE.

[@randomdude8202]

The whole point of the anime is to show the gray area, explaining that good and bad are relative terms. Saying "he made the bad choice" tells me you miss the point entirely. Life is almost never that simple, and even the worst person you cant think of is a "good guy" for someone.

[@ravenwhiteduck3158]

It's about a man deciding to give up his humanity, and it's definitely a one of a kind in that regard, needed better editing though

Imagine thinking the stalinists are good guys

[@ProfessorViral]

I never said who was good or who was bad, I spoke about which side was oppressing and which was oppressed, to examine the background of a man caught between both. Both use underhanded tactics, both kill, but in the end, the main character suffers for siding with the oppressor, regardless of what term is applied to them after that
