Jin-roh: The Wolf Brigade

“JIN-ROH: THE WOLF BRIGADE”

A Genre of Japanese Action Political Thriller anime😮 directed by Hiroyuki Okiura in his directorial debut💎and written by Mamoru Oshii based on the first chapter of volume 1 of Oshii's manga Kerberos Panzer Cop🤝🏻

It is the third film (first chronologically) in the Kerberos Saga after 1987's The Red Spectacles✨and 1991's StrayDog: Kerberos Panzer Cops💫, and is the only fully-animated film in the saga🔥

Gist of Entire

$toryline goes with...
A member of an elite paramilitary counter-terrorism unit becomes traumatized after witnessing the suicide bombing of a young girl🙄and is forced to undergo retraining. However, unbeknownst to him, he becomes a key player in a dispute between rival police divisions🤐, as he finds himself increasingly involved with the sister of the girl he saw die🧐who looks the same one

The movie standing as a metaphor to Red Riding Wood story is a classic note😮where we may not understand the politics but get right through the emotions that the characters go through in the plot in a disturbing manner😐

The voice cast did great and the screenplay is something we could look keen on as the visuals that goes step by step thinking that it shows everything straight but it was layered inside and the truth was present all the way down in plain sight✨

LANGUAGE : JAPANESE, ENGLISH
YEAR : 1999
IMDb : 7.3/10

Directorial Touch

"Jin-roh: The Wolf Brigade" gives us an alternate reality where things take a worse end after the second world war leading to a political unrest🤐with heavy guns and power🧐filling it with betrayals and emotionless moves makes us hard to take stand on any side as it holds perspectives stronger🤝🏻depicted with heavy graphic violence and strong visuals makes it worth watching🫣

You can't change a Beast🐺disguised as Human👨🏻
