Jin-Rou (Anime) add (All reviews)

SHORT REVIEW

Story: The story isn't at all complex and the movie is divided between moments between Kei and Kazuki and the big wigs in the local force that seeks to demolish the capital forces and but honestly a lot of what makes the movie great is the quietness of the film and the psychological tolls on Kazuki after killing a terrorist I'd go as far to say the movie feels almost documentary like mostly due to the setting and themes which gives it this arthouse vibe that probably causes it to go unnoticed. overall the story was good but I'd say its not the strongest aspect of the film and says in comparison to its other areas. 7/10

Art: Not much to say on animation its very fluid especially when it comes to the gunfire I haven't watched much anime with guns but this feels by far the most powerful and terrifyingly accurate display of weapons that reduce people to Swiss cheese and by conveying so much force and motion with the bullets impacting bodies 10/10

Sound: like I said about the guns before except this time for sound design the sound design for the guns was on point and actually exceeded what I expected and it honestly felt like each sound they used for the movie was created specifically for one usage 9/10

Character: Kazuki feels very real and a lot of it comes from how he carries himself and the other characters really add to the feel of the "eat or be eaten world" that Jin-Rou presents but I think Kazuki really feels like Guts from berserk either from appearance or how they carry themselves silently but inside is an introspective mess of a person they aren't great but they feel. realistic in the setting they're portrayed into 7/10

Enjoyment: It was such a nice film to watch just laying down on a rainy day 9/10

Overall the other great aspects of the film make up for the simple story
