The way they animated the MG42 scenes.. oh man. I've been using the MG3 as my service weapon for almost 8 months, which is pretty much the same as the MG42. From the cleaning scene to the way they hold the gun and all the little parts and details function, everything is just perfect. The sounds are a bit different, but with blanks, my MG3 sounds almost the same. They must have had some really good reference material. Really wanna see a behind the scenes for this movie.
German army?
MG42 fired the 8mm Mauser, where the MG3 fires 7.62x51 NATO. Taking the calibre out of the equations they are the same gun. In my opinion, the MG3 is still the best Squad support weapon, as it lay down more fire more quickly than any other LMG at the time of its development.
The training part is even better when you realize they aren't stg44s, they are the earlier MKB42 prototype that they've relegated for training that are almost exactly like their main rifle, all to save cost in universe probably
I clicked this thinking it was an eyepatch wolf video and was surprised to see it was made by the guy who made that generation kill video a year ago at the end of it.
Dude the exact same happened to me lmao.
way more watchable imo, the way eyepatch wolf annunciates every line like its the most important thing he’s ever said is unbearable to my ears
Honestly 1990s Japan was just a cultural powerhouse. Much of the things that came out of Japan in those 10 years are still held in high regard today and have influenced everything that followed. The automotive scene will never get over its obsession with JDM cars, especially ones from the 90s. Most of the vehicular cast of the first few Fast and Furious movies were Japanese cars produced in the 90s. The Mk4 Supra, R34 GTR, Mitsubishi Eclipse, EJ1 Civic, FD RX-7, and many more. The anime community still holds many anime from the 1990s in high regard and arguably most of them take the cake for best ones of all time. NGE, Gundam, Ghost in the Shell, Dragon Ball, Digimon, Pokémon, Sailor Moon, and Cowboy Bebop. The tech boom of 1990s Japan is also still felt today. Blue LEDs came from Japan in the early 1990s and paved the way for most of what’s possible with LEDs today. The PlayStation was developed and released by 1994 continuing on today to be one of the most popular gaming consoles. Silent Hill was released in 1999 and has produced one of the greatest horror franchises in gaming and has spawned tons of parodies and games that take large inspiration from it. The franchise has even spawned a film adaptation that came out in 2006. The first Resident Evil game was released in 1996 and defined the survival horror genre. Spawning multiple sequels, comic book, and film adaptations. Many survival horror and horror games in general still take bits and pieces of the Resident Evil franchise and use them to market and make their own products. The first camera phone was developed in Japan in 1999 and is directly responsible for that embarrassing selfie you almost posted. Japan also developed the QR Code in 1994, and the first commercially produced Li-Ion battery was produced by Sony in 1994… Overall 1990s Japan is and was amazing and Jin Roh is just another reflection of that. It’s no wonder it’s done what many other anime’s have trouble with.
no military industrial complex + hopes and excitement about entering a new millennia with all the magic of the internet is a recipe for creativity and culture it seems
good shit Jin Roh deserves to be recognised as a classic on the same level of Ghost in the Shell and any of Satoshi Kon's films
Frickin a YEAR later XD
Fuse looks so shocked even though he has his armor at 6:40 . Incredible animation
it's not a cyberpunk anime, it's what you call a dieselpunk. Many people confuse the two. Dieselpunk has more aesthetics from ww2 while cyberpunk has more modern aesthetics. both settings have futuristic technology
That is true
@@danglam23 thanks. feel free to add more cause I'm tired rn and i know I didn't explain it the best
You gotta do more of this stuff, man.
Dude comes round like once a year to drop a banger.
Never gonna get a cowboy bebop vid at this rate
Make more videos like these because they're great and always about the stuff NO ONE is talking about! Thank you for yet another great video.
2:51 Lugers are so hard to aim, that's some skill.
That's Mauser C96. Sry for my tryharding, I just love guns.
@@Pixy335 it's all good, should of known by the box magazine infront of the trigger. lugers don't have that
Þis is no luger P08 þat's a Mauser C96 (favorite Pistole i personally þink it looks cool)
The fact that the one Animated movie in the franchise is the most realistic and down to earth entry ...
I heard your voice and thought you were MoistCritikal. Not disappointed, love your style and I'll make sure to watch some more!
Gotta say, I wasn't expecting to find this gem of a video. You outlined many of the reasons I personally enjoyed Jin Roh. Congrats you earned another sub. ;)
Can anyone recommend me anime like cowboy bebop, ghost in the shell, Jim Roh and Akira
These gritty lived in hand drawn anime are just so much better than anything today
And their super deep themes of existentialism its just incredible
Also Watanabe worked on Jim Roh too with Oshii no wonder they are so good
Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise
And the Patlabor movies especially Patlabor 2.
Fucking awesome vid bud. I watched Jin-Roh as a kid and 15 years later I watched Illang Wolf Brigade. All I could remember from the Anime was how it made me feel and you nailed it spot on. They fucked up the ending though...
Oh shit, I just watched the Generation Kill vid again and sdaw that you uploaded! Fuck yeah
Hey man I’m watching this video 3 years after and I have to say your delivery and thought process and perspective on your gen kill vid and this one are 10/10 I hope you return soon
lovely video but
at 11:18 "stay stafe"
One part I took issue with was this: Anyone who's around actual factual humans regularly knows that very little is less realistic than people making good decisions all the time.
The music is also a really good point that really sells the scenes
It reflects reality perfectly that it's terrifying. Just like in Jin-Roh, many political groups and people in power, lost or are currently losing their humanity to keep their control and power or to gain more control and power. If only people would realize it now before situations become worse.
See I wouldn’t recommend you to shoot at me because your gun goes *pew pew pew* my gun goes *BRRRRRRRT*
Good video. You deserve more views.
Thank you for this excellent Video Essay
I am gratefuf others see the depth of this story. Thought it was just me?
Truly enjoyed your perspective and it (IMHO) grasps why this story hits so hard!
I didn't see it... but I also saw this story from the poin t of the wolf...
I'm still thinking giving every operative an MG 42 in that first scene was a bit of an overkill. They've already have scary af armor with glowing eyes. StG 44 (+ one MG) would be a better choice. To my knowledge no police or military unit in the real world is armed exclusively with machine guns. But that just a minor nitpick, that anime is a masterpiece, indeed.
In Lore of Jin Roh it is explained by the fact that Protect Gears appeared first in the Battle of Stalingrad which gave them a firepower superiority over the Soviet Assault Sappers and normal troops, obviously it has derived from Nazi Germany and clearly influenced the Capitol Police (Just abit of background to give you a understanding of why they use the MG42's)
The machine gun is just too unwieldy to be a practical arm for an entire unit. Especially one thats conducting a CQB mission. STGs would be far more practical
@@wolfen8619 that they have mg-42s isn't the problem. The problem is that they're using it over other more practical arms for their mission. MP-40, FG-42 or STG-44 would be far better Ina subterranean CQB fight.
They utilize and train with all firearms, the image of an entire squads worth of MG42s is much more psychologically terrifying than using a mixture of firearms. Scare the terrorists with overkill is the tactic that is what I think the lore explanation in this situation
@@kylegallagher5649 fair. Bet it's hard to clear rooms with long heavy weapons.
I use to think this was a Killzone Anime lmao
"Kung Flu". Definitely deserves a sub.
I've never watched Jin Roh but now know it's my next watch.
I've been watching Legend of the Galactic Heroes and enjoy it for many of the same reasons that you mention (don't get me wrong though, it is a bit more cheesy). The characters are well fought out and there is no one dimensional villain. Both the Free Planets Alliance and the Galactic Reich have their problems. The universe is well fleshed out and almost every aspect of the universe is expanded upon.
I can't stop watching it, it's amazing
good stuff thanks!. Should do Genocidal Organ next. As a Vet I love this movie.
Every month? Meh. Just post 'em when you're satisfied with a project bruh.
It did, in fact, get more then 500 views
Didn't see this movie til one of my cousins from Japan told me it blew Ghost In the Shell outta the water.
I was like "dude no way."
But hot damn is Jin Roh a fine film
Well, I realize that it's been 6 months since you made this video, but have you considered doing a video on Patlabor 2? It's personally my favorite film of all time period. Animated or live action. Also I literally did not realize that you were the same guy that made the Generation Kill video until I got to the end of this video lol. Like your content dude. You got a new sub.
Yeah, that is one I want to do, but there is a certain video game I need to trash on first
Kimi no nawa ..obscure?
Bitch slap
Awesome channel fam keep it up
"If your characters are gonna make stupid decisions..." 9:05 shows picture of said idiot rejecting Rem. Lmao! I honestly stopped watching after that season. I did not care about the main protagonist any longer if he was going to make such horrible decisions.
your a good duder and deserve a like and subscribe.
03:03. Dieselpunk?
how about an anime that does not have all the realistic picture view but carries a real story of lifes struggle during WWII in Japan of ordinary ppl and an unknown future.. I found the story line to powerful to be over looked for it's visuals.. movie title: "In this corner of the world"..
Great video essay
Hey why not the show
Generation war
come back man
no. you are so wrong. its all about MG42 sound.. jesus.. it still gives me shivers..
that thunp is eargasam
For a modern American comparison: feels like the resistance is using tommie's, and the Special Forces are using M240B's.
so when´s the next video comin ?
Next vid when?
Nice
I am still waiting for a masterpiece like this to be made again... A wishful thinking on mine
Can someone explain why he didnt shoot? Is it because it was a kid? Because he said he intended to, but didnt. Was he lying?
Please make more
Why they look like NCR Rangers
at 13 seconds there are some naval ships shooting into the air. what is that from?
At the 9 minute mark, what is the name of the anime that the "miko" scene is taken from from?
It’s from Your Name
Thanks, Kyle.
You might want to put an epilepsy warning on the video with a the flashing lights. Just saying.
Ayo where's that next video?
Give me a bit
Half a year later...
he's back lul
you should've started off by saying this contains spoilers -.-
Hey guys, what’s up, SPOILERS
Lmao I just wanted too see if this movie was worth a watch... well you just fuckin sold me bro lol. Its on tubi just in case anybody wants to see it.
8,000th view omg
eh my man, don't you contradict yourself by the
"immersion in another world." that doesn't really require 'realism' as you define it. As Cowboy bebop, and Eva really don't fit. Eva is psychologically serious, but again is it realistic? No, grounded in a deeper 'realism'. Yes. For this reason it can be both unpalatable and not realistic.
It was an okay video. But it really shouldn't contradict yourself in the process.
I may have missed it in the video. But you can have totally realistic absurdist narratives. Like the Fuse could of died in that sewer and it would of been far more realistic and believable.
Realism is just a vehicle, a stylistic-aesthetic that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't flat statements don't really work. Sometimes it works for what you are trying to convey.
A really good example is PlanetS. Bebop would be an example, of what happens when you can play fast and loose with the rules, it's very puply, and corny.
I think Texhnolyze is a fun example, where it's setting has a distinct feel of high realism. But as a whole it's entirely non-realistic. Especially, with say sounds, concepts, visuals. There is something beyond flat realistic entites, and a general sensation of realism. There is probably something deeper to go into it as a whole.
it's like the campaign of modern warfare, the story and villain are trash, but there's such attention to detail and all the characters act rationally, with great dialouge, so everything ends up being believable... while the disney star wars trilogy is just trash, because nothing is believable and nothing makes any god damn sense.
0:13 what anime is this scene from?
run melos the movie is on par with jin roh in my opinion
Riot control unit
Ag Ag
I love how the characters got normal eyes, hair and run with their arms swinging.
People stereotype anime as bug eyed, yellowhair, over the top expression and run with their hands behind their back like "ninja, cause majority of the anime are like that.
