Nope, I’m talking Jin-Roh. It’s out of the same mold of the Ghost in a Shell movie, except less techno-driven.
It’s about a kind of SWAT team officer, Kazuki, who gets involved with the sister of a terrorist. He was actually on duty and at the scene where the terrorist girl was killed. Because of his hesitation to kill her, she actually blows herself up with the bomb she was carrying, he gets sent back to basic training. That’s when he meets the terrorist’s sister and falls in love with her. Getting involved with the sister of a terrorist who you just busted doesn’t look good for your career as an officer. That’s where the conflict lies and also the government secretly spying on him.
Not a lot of action but the characters are well developed and are very human. So they will relate to the audience. I’m not a real big fan of these types of anime but it was worth watching. It is a kind of long movie and gets kind of confusing in the end. The animation is clean but looks older than an anime made in 1999. I would not recommend it for the casual anime fan, just us hardcore junkies.
