One of the IG Studio Classic anime movie that I only managed to watch recently. Back then I came upon this series called Jinroh from a short animation clip on youtube where a group of Elite Soldier heavily clad in Iconic Gas Mask and armed with MG42 mowed down a group of terrorists in Tokyo's sewer with ruthless efficiency. Overall Jinroh is a good movie but not the exact thing I am expected to get for its genre.
Taken place in alternate future of Post WW2 Japan, There is a Counter Terrorist Elite Special Task Force called Wolf Brigade that watched over Tokyo. What I expected to be an Action packed movie turns out to be a Slice of Life with Suspense thriller. The plot of this Jinroh movie is basically the aftermath story of a member of a particular young and talented Wolf Brigade member after witnessing a young girl blowing up herself in a successful Counter Terrorist operation and his immediate encounter with another young girl who bears resemblance with the one that he witnessed her death.
Overall Jinroh Movie is a good movie-length anime that properly wrapped up its story properly within the time duration it is given, though I felt that there are more things could be done with Jinroh. What I expected to be a full action movie ends up to be Counter-espionage Suspense Thriller which somehow did worked out. Seriously the Wolf Brigade Kerberos Panzer Armor design is a Top Notch for a modern period Elite Soldier especially for the Terror Factor. Practicality issues aside, The Jinroh Squad is certainly not the sort of enemies you would like to face with its imposing Jet black armor and Iconic Gas mask which seemingly hid a savage beast inside signifying its status as Ruthless efficient killing machine. I am still waiting for a proper Action figure collectible for Jinroh's Kerberos Panzer Armor and in the future I might even consider the Korean movie adaptation if felt eager enough to spend some time on it.
