* ShoutOut: 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.

''[=SiN=]: The Movie'' is an anime film released in 2000 directed by Creator/YasunoriUrata, created by Creator/PhoenixEntertainment and released by Creator/ADVFilms.
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 [[VideoGame/SiN1998 the game that inspired it]]. It was intended to be a sequel, until ''VideoGame/SiNEpisodesEmergence'' was released, shunting the film [[CanonDiscontinuity out of continuity]].
----
!! This movie provides examples of:
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Mancini, who also falls under AdaptationalBadass and AdaptationalJerkass. 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.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: 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.
* AlternateContinuity: 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.
* ArtificialLimbs: Blade has these in this continuity, with his arms including a {{grappling hook|Pistol}} built into the right arm and [[spoiler:a BladeBelowTheShoulder in the left, which he uses to kill Mancini by [[EyeScream stabbing him in the eye]].]]
* BadassLongcoat: Blade wears one of these while visiting JC's grave shortly after the prologue, though he ditches it before any shooting starts.
* ButNotTooBlack: While it's always been clear that John Blade is of African descent, it's revealed here that his father was white, making Blade biracial.
* CanonDiscontinuity: Ostensibly intended as a sequel, the later release of ''Emergence'' makes the film just an AlternateContinuity to the series.
* DeathCourse: The assault on the [=SinTEK=] tower plays out like this, as JC and Blade are dropped midway up the tower, and have to fight their way through floor after floor of enemies (and a miniboss).
* DepletedPhlebotinumShells: Blade is given a large supply of bullets filled with a chemical designed to quickly kill [=SinTEK=]'s mutants before assaulting the [=SinTEK=] tower, which as advertised make quick work of the mutants. [[spoiler:They prove to not be effective against Mancini, however.]]
* DisneyVillainDeath: 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).
* EvilTowerOfOminousness: The [=SinTEK=] tower, used as Elexis' base of operations.
* {{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 HighPressureBlood intermixed with the mutants suffering severe BodyHorror, and when [=HardCorps=] members are messily murdered throughout you get ''way'' more detail than there probably needs to be to borderline horror levels.
* InTheirOwnImage: Elexis' plan is to turn her army of mutated creatures into the dominant lifeform on the planet, with her being the leader.
* ItAlwaysRainsAtFunerals: The rain pours down hard at JC's funeral at the beginning of the movie.
* LimitedWardrobe: Much like the game series, Blade's police uniform is the only thing he wears, save for a single scene where he wears a long coat over it.
* MercyKill: Blade does this to JC after he begins his monstrous transformation.
* NavelDeepNeckline: The dress Elexis wears has cleavage that goes down to her navel.
* PeopleJars: Elexis has several jars filled with mutant clones of Elyse in her headquarters.
* {{Sexposition}}: Elexis gives exposition on her EvilPlan while she just has finished having sex with Mancini. She betrays him and [[SlippingAMickey poisons him right after too]], meaning she had no reason to explain anything to him other for the audience's benefit.
* ShowerScene: Just before the [=SinTEK=] raid, Jennifer gets a gratuitous shower scene as she gets ready for the mission, although she's slumped to the wall so only her ToplessnessFromTheBack and {{Sideboob}} are visible.
* StartOfDarkness: Turns out Elexis was actually a pretty normal, well-adjusted girl until she witnessed her family get gunned down by government-sponsored mobsters right in front of her.
* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: 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.
* SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaids: In the subtitled version of the movie, it's explained that Elexis' mutants are actually off-world terraforming bioengineered lifeforms that she's repurposed for world domination. In the dub, they're simply monsters she cooked up in a lab to wreck havok.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: After JC dies, his sister Jennifer (who is also nicknamed JC) steps in to find out who killed her brother and ultimately takes over his role with the [=HardCorps=] police force.
* StrappedToAnOperatingTable:
** After Elexis drugs Mancini, he next wakes up in [[WakingUpElsewhere in a medical room]] while [[UndressingTheUnconscious naked]], just as Elexis readies to perform surgery to turn him into a mutant and explaining that he has [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Outlived His Usefulness]] and that [[MadScientist she]] likes to SkipTheAnesthetic on her guinea pigs.
** Elyse also finds herself in this situation when kidnapped by Elexis, although hers is also played for {{fanservice}} as the ModestyBedsheet is only barely covering her privates. The table is also shaped like a cross, for the extra-religious metaphor.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: 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 [[ICannotSelfTerminate 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 [[spoiler:[=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.
* WeCanRebuildHim: In a {{flashback}}, Blade [[spoiler:and his father]] are gunned down, and he's barely holding on after sustaining serious injuries. He ends up being rebuilt with cybernetic parts.
* WineIsClassy: Classy villainess Elexis twirls around a wine of glass as she explains her EvilPlan.
