These are very dark anime with a protagonist who is a monster (one literally, one metaphorically) and masquerades as a human being.
There are a few but very well-made action scenes. Blood has better visuals but Jin-Roh is superiour in its storytelling.
What starts as a simple interview of a legendary actress becomes a journey through the history of Japan. But this is no ordinary lesson; from the perspective of this actress, we learn of the beauty and sadness of love, the pain and regret and joy of the Japanese people and their film, through this film: Millennium Actress.

With murders piling up and her mental state slowly degrading, can she discover who the culprit is, before she becomes the next victim?
