Story: 3.5
Ajin follows the story of Kei Nagai as he comes to the realization that he is a Demi-Human. To put simply this means he is basically immortal. Due to this, Ajins have become valuable test subjects due to them being able to reset or revive after being killed. So the hunt begins when word gets out that Kei Nagai is an Ajin. His friend Kaito helps him escape temporarily but Kei is eventually caught when he abandons the help of Kaito and looks for the help of Mr. Sato. Is Mr. Sato friend or foe? Well, you will have to watch the series to find out.
Animation: 4.0
Originally I wasn’t a fan of the art style due to it looking like a cel-shaded game. As the series progresses I can see why they went with this direction. The Black Ghost / Dark Matter would look weird if it wasn’t done in a CGI type of way.
Audio: 4.0
The score isn’t really something to write home about but, I did enjoy the dubbed voice acting. I guess we are to the point where dubbed voice action isn’t a problem anymore.
Replay: 4.0
I’m actually looking forward to re-watching seasons 1 and 2 to get a better understanding of the series. I also haven’t had the chance to see the OVAs yet so I will be watching them in the near future as we wait for season 3.
Around The Web: 3.95
Ajin is currently holding a 3.95 on IMDb
Final Thought
So far I’m happy with the series. I'm not a huge fan of how some compelling characters were introduced and then put to the backseat or abandoned just as quickly. I really enjoying the pacing of this anime as well. If you want to watch something straight to the point, Ajin does a really good job staying on topic.

ReplyDeleteMovies, also known as films or motion pictures, are a form of visual and auditory entertainment and artistic expression. They are created by recording a series of moving images and accompanying sound, typically in the form of dialogue, music, and sound effects, and then presenting them to an audience in a sequential manner. This presentation of images and sound creates the illusion of motion, making it appear as though the characters and scenes on screen are moving and interacting. Yesmovies
