    Jin-Roh's beginning hits you like a ton of bricks, or an explosive, but it sort of trails off after a while. It's a good psychological suspense if you can sit still and watch it.

    Not bad. Kinda confusing.

    Whoa!! Was just plain blown away by this masterpiece of anime. Amazing story, well told. The 'Red Riding Hood' references are haunting and memorable. Best anime I've seen in a while.

    Not the best anime I've ever seen, but it beats the shit out of Pokemon.

    Why would anyone like this? Meolodramataically pointless and stupid.

    Epoca y estilo conjugan bien con el libreto logrando una historia paralela de esa época en el Japón post segunda guerra mundial...

    Nice WWII weapons are used in this OVA

    A dark post-war scenario, in a "what if" story, where Japan have won WWII, and the country is now burning in popular rebellion and paramilitary forces.
    On this background, moves a modern-day version of Little Red Riding Hood, garnished with amazing poetry, beautiful images and a...( read more) complex political plot. Jin Roh is another example of great Japanese animation, unmissable for manga lovers and profanes alike.
