a5c7b9f00b Rin Asogi runs a private investigation agency in Tokyo&#39;s Shinjuku district, performing odd jobs ranging from finding lost pets to hunting rare stamps in order to get by. Yet despite attempts at a normal life, she finds herself constantly hindered by the strange cases that come her way, figures from her dark past, and her inability to die. To be honest, I never expected to see an anime who involves a woman who really is so confident and acts like such a interesting character. Although I wouldnt call Rin the first female interesting character I&#39;ve ever seen. Integra Hellsing from the anime &quot;Hellsing&quot; is pretty much the sameher, but a lot more serious and doesn&#39;t take crap from no one. Whereas Rin just doesn&#39;t give a toss and is pretty much laid back in that sense. <br/><br/>You know, I really thought that Rin and Mimi were going to turn outa couple because you could see they were flirting a lot. They were saying that Mimi was bisexual and Rin was heterosexual but i totally disagree through. I think both girls are bi like they do have a little intimacy even if they try to show it. I was actually surprised that Rin ended up having a child with Tajimamori like i felt they didn&#39;t really match wella couple. Just my opinon like this kinda did give me a surprise lol!<br/><br/>Interesting anime, I&#39;ll give it a 8/10! To be honest I only watched this series because the DVD was very cheap; I hadn&#39;t got far into the first episode when I realised I had found something good. I had feared that it would be just another series with lots of gratuitous violence and nudity and while there is a fair bit of both it didn&#39;t seem gratuitous. The series follows Rin and her assistant Mimi over several years; they don&#39;t age howeverthey are immortal having consumed the &#39;Fruit of Life&#39; from the tree Yggdrassil. While they are immortal this doesn&#39;t mean they can not die; Rin dies several times; usually in unpleasant ways… then she gets better! There is one way for the immortals to permanently die however; they can be killed by &#39;angels&#39;. These aren&#39;t angels in the biblical sense but winged creatures that are created when men ingest &#39;fruits of life&#39;. Rin and Mimi run a detective agency and there cases are typically fairly minor to start with but grow into something that will lead them into danger from both humans, angels and a mysterious character called Apos.<br/><br/>This was a really exciting series; it made a nice change to have forty minute episodesopposed to the usual twenty. This meant each story was a decent length without spreading over several episodes. The animation looked good with well designed characters and great backgrounds; the darkness giving it a film noir quality. The stories were gripping keeping me interested through out. &#39;Rin&#39; is certainly not for children or those who are disturbed by fairly bloody violence or are bothered by nudity and scenes of a sexual nature… don&#39;t worry though; there might be sex scenes but this is not a hentai series. If you are old enough and are looking for something a little darker than most anime I&#39;d recommend checking this one out.
