Jin-Roh is good and beautifully-animated, but it's not an action film at all (though the action looks great)

Fucking great find! Looking forward to it.

Would you say the animated movie is more action based or more dialog heavy?

Very dialogue heavy.

Kim Jee-woon is awesome, Jin-Roh is awesome, this better be awesome.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

Well this is unexpected

Would you say the animated movie is more action based or more dialog heavy?

It's a slow burner that starts off with action, but then starts to get into the bearucratic espionage angle which can be very tough to follow as there are organizations and branches of government working against each other and splinter cells within those organizations with their own agenda as well. It can be a tough anime film to follow especially if you're reading subtitles.

I also wonder if they'll portray themselves as Japanese or as Koreans that were conquered by the Germans. Or choose another country since they can make up some new stuff while still telling the same story.

I would guess they would make it Korean and it would probably be better for it. Kerberos saga's alternate history of Japan siding with the Allies and then losing the war doesn't really make sense to me, as if they didn't invade the rest of Asia.

Very dialogue heavy.

I don't remember them talking much in the movie

Very interesting. Jin-Roh is one of my favorite animes.

 

[UrbanRats]

Nice.
Jin Roh is a very good animated movie, and he's a great director.
Although i admit the amazing animation was part of the draw, i'm not sure if it'll lose something in Live Action, on that front.

Apparently the focus of the live action film is going to be on the North-South conflict.

Happy to see the average take on Jin-Roh has changed, I remember when it first released and a lot of people complained it was too boring, glad to see the shift.

Such a beautiful film.
