comment
SiN: The Movie is an anime film released in 2000 directed by Yasunori Urata, created by Phoenix Entertainment and released by ADV Films. It's based on the videogame SiN (1998), and it's the third installment of the series after that game and its Expansion Pack.It stars Colonel John Blade, a half-cyborg cop working for HardCorps who delves into the city's underworld in order to unravel a series of mysterious kidnappings that eventually lead him bumping heads with SinTEK Enterprises and their chairwoman, Elexis Sinclaire.The film contains several changes from the game that inspired it. It was intended to be a sequel, until SiN Episodes: Emergence was released, shunting the film out of continuity.

comment
Sexposition: Elexis gives exposition on her Evil Plan while she just has finished having sex with Mancini. She betrays him and poisons him right after too, meaning she had no reason to explain anything to him other for the audience's benefit.

Alternate Continuity: It involves many of the same characters as the game in a slightly different setting, more than thirty years further into the future from the original game and with changes such as Blade having worked together with his father in the past and being an almost-full-body cyborg.

Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome: JC, the most prominent supporting character from the original game and Blade's right-hand man, is killed off minutes into the film when he touches an unknown substance and begins transforming into a mindless abomination, which leads to Blade having to put him down for good.

Adaptational Attractiveness
 SiN: The Movie / int_557838d1
comment
Adaptational Attractiveness: Mancini, who also falls under Adaptational Badass and Adaptational Jerkass. In the game, he was squeaky-voiced, not the most attractive and rather incompetent and pathetic, to the point where even Elexis grew sick of him. Here, however, he's taller, more physically well-built, handsome and deep-voiced, and far less incompetent than he was in the game. Unfortunately, none of that makes up for the fact he is far more despicable here, where it's revealed he was responsible for the death of Blade's father, and then has the nerve to taunt Blade about it. He also murders one of Blade's friends, Tim, in cold blood.

Disney Villain Death: During the movie's climax, after Blade has defeated the monstrous mutant form of her father, the ensuing explosion throws Elexis off the SinTek tower, and she presumably falls to her death (in anime such deaths tend to be more permanent than in Western media).

Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Elexis and Mancini are friends with benefits who plan on becoming lovers in this, which is a big contrast to the game, where Mancini was just a henchman, and nothing more, to Elexis, and she didn't even like him.

Elyse also finds herself in this situation when kidnapped by Elexis, although hers is also played for fanservice as the Modesty Bedsheet is only barely covering her privates. The table is also shaped like a cross, for the extra-religious metaphor.

 SiN: The Movie / int_c3648b87
comment
Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Jennifer doesn't get along with Blade or much of HardCorps for the first half because all the info she's been able to gather indicates Blade killed her brother and has ties to the mob, both of which are true to some degree (the former being by JC's own request and the latter being to an old friend of his father's who has no real control in how the mafia is run now). It's only after HardCorps is devastated by several mutants out in the streets while Mancini kills most of the rest who stayed behind at headquarters that she, at the very least, realizes there are much bigger problems than Blade and whatever mafia associates he has.

Shout-Out
 SiN: The Movie / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The anime movie has quite a few references to the Hentai OVA, Urotsukidoji, of all things, which isn't entirely surprising, since both titles were produced by the same animation studio, Phoenix Entertainment, as well as sharing most of the same writers, animators, character designers, and even the same music composer. Mancini's mutant form bears a striking resemblance to Nagumo's demon form, with the greenish brown-skin and horns coming out of their cheekbones. Mancini also the ability to control his blood and use it as a weapon, much like Nagumo. In one scene, Blade shots a mutant, causing it to fall in a spike impaling it, and it's rather reminiscent to a scene at the end of Urotsukidoji II: Legend of the Demon Womb, where a character named Takeaki falls to his death and lands on a spike impaling him through the chest, and what makes both scenes even more similar is that they are both shot in the same way.

Gorn: The games had gibbing foes, but actual gory content was fairly tame. The film on the other hand amps it up to eleven, as there's plenty of High-Pressure Blood intermixed with the mutants suffering severe Body Horror, and when HardCorps members are messily murdered throughout you get way more detail than there probably needs to be to borderline horror levels.
