Jin-Roh - The Wolf Brigade description Written by Mamoru Oshii (the director of the cult favorite Ghost in the Shell) and directed by Hiroyuki Okiura (a key animator on Akira), Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade offers a violent but compelling vision in animation. The story is set in a fictionalized version of the recent past, when a repressive Japanese government is battling the Sect, a violent revolutionary organization that uses adolescent girls they call "Red Riding Hoods" as couriers. During a raid, Capitol Police Constable Kazuki Fuse (pronounced "foo-seh," voice by Michael Dobson) balks at killing Nanami Agawa (Maggie Blue O'Hare), one of the Red Riding Hoods. She commits suicide with a powerful bomb. While Fuse undergoes retraining, he meets Nanami's older sister, Kei (Moneca Stori), and initiates an odd romance. Soon both characters are caught in a web of plots and counterplots that center on the possibility that Fuse may be a "wolf," a member of a secret cabal within the Capitol Police. Jin-Roh is drawn in a comic book style that recalls the work of the popular graphic novelist and film designer Jean "Moebius" Giraud; Okiura's skillful cutting and striking imagery transcend the limited animation. Although anime continues to grow in popularity in America, it's rare for a Japanese feature to receive even a limited theatrical release, as this one did: a dark, brooding film of exceptional power, Jin-Roh deserves to be seen by a large audience. Suitable for ages 18 and up: considerable violence, profanity, and tobacco use. --Charles Solomon |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Great movie, but....... |
| Right off the bat let me say that this was a great movie. The reason why I'm giving it a one star is because of Amazon's performance. I ordered this item and amazon kept on pushing back the delivery date. I understand that it may be a difficult movie to find, but come on! They kept on pushing back the delivery date further and further. I was sick of it! I was not going to wait 2 1/2 months to get this movie. I suggest if they pull this routine on you go to ebay. Hey, there are risks more so that at amazon, but if you do your research you might come out fine or even better. I sure did. I got this movie within 5 days of ordering it. Plus it was cheaper. But hey if amazon is doing good delivering on time I say go and get it from them, but if not go to ebay. | |
