1) Release: "The story of humans and wolves always has an unhappy ending." After having recognized at various, prestigious festivals world-wide, such as the Berlin Int'l Film Festival, Fantasporto, Brussels Int'l Fantasy Festival, Singapore Int'l Film Festival, Annecy Int'l Film Festival, Stockholm Int'l Film Festival, Rotterdam Int'l Film Festival, "JIN-ROH" has finally made itself available to the eyes of the public viewers in Japan. Despite the growing digital technology in the anime industry, JIN-ROH mostly utilizes the traditional 2D cel animation technique, as to open up a new route to the current Japanese animation industry. The story is about a man (wolf), who falls in love with a woman, while being tossed about by a secret "organization." The film was directed by Hiroyuki Okiura, who was the character designer and the key animation supervisor for "Ghost in the Shell." It is based on the original concept "Kenro Densetsu" created by Mamoru Oshii, whose key animation was done by Kamui Fujiwara. |
