Both main characters are dragged into being different types of mutant humans. The powers in Tokyo Ghoul are more like a natural defense mechanism they are born with and in Ajin they are immortals and some can control a type of stand like in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Both shows are dark and dramatic, the key difference is that Ajin is a lot more cynical and Tokyo Ghoul likes to explore the interactions amongst Ghouls

Ajin is the new Sei no Kakuritsu in my opinion because, the key about these two series is the suspense. Kei reminds me about Shinichi in some ways like :The poor main character who wants a normal life but, BOOM something comes on and change his entire life. Also,while Shinichi has Migi, Kei has his phantom or whatever it is.

On ajin they have a creature that can become like a stand. While ajin more hated on the stands, because they are more hard to control and can go berserk. jojo they are used for more on the good and isn't really known to the government and or police.

What makes us want to live and what makes us so scared of dying? But if you could not die, what than? Would your views chance, would you still be scared of your own death, or would you face it again and again until you find the life you can be happy in. Both of these psichological thrillers deal with these question in verry different situations and if you like the story of on you will surely like the other

Both are about humans and some other species coexisting (or not). Both are quite violent and have similar messages about what it means to live/survive. Shiki is much more serious and has much more philosophical grey-area to it, Ajin is often more light-hearted and sometimes comical, but still serious when it needs to be. If you like one you might like the other.

The main protagonist in both Ajin and Devilman: Crybaby are thrown into a life of darkness and possess a special ability (Kei being immortal and Akira Fudo becoming a demon). In both anime, the main character must gradually gain control of their newfound powers and develop into a more aggressive, formidable, and determined person. They both have a dark and gritty atmosphere and are loaded with violence, action, and blood. If you like one, you might like the other.

- Both main characters are being chased by the government. - They have been treated in a very cruel and unjust way at some point. - They're not exactly positive characters. - Both of them are 'superior' to most other people - Nine is supersmart, while Kei has superhuman abilities. - There are terrorists/weapons/riots/bombs and stuff. - Both anime contain violence, blood, murder. - They have similar music. - And they really give off a similar feel in general. Also, there are some really emotional moments.

Both anime feature an organization which experiments on superhuman beings in a massive government conspiracy. The main protagonist in both anime possesses superhuman powers and are now being hunted by an evil organization. They both have plenty of action, violence, blood, and gore. If you like one, you should enjoy the other.

Protagonists of both shows have similar personality, and they're being thrown into the action due to circumstances while neither of them would want to be a part of it, seeking for safe and comfortable life by (almost) any means, always preferring rationality over morality.

The characters and the general atmosphere are quite similar.The characters are sometimes cruel or the protagonist isn't like your typical protagonist and can be cold hearted.Also the dark creatures in Ajin are similar to the headless rider in Durarara.Plus they are mystery and supernatural genres.

Are they human? Not exactly, in Ajin, Nagai Kei is an Ajin or Demi-Humans if you prefer. Ajin's look like normal humans on the outside, but are actually immortal and have the ability to summon an IBM (Invisible Black Matter), which cannot be seen by the naked eye. While in Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, Ikoma is a Kabaneri, something inbertween a human and a kabane. If you are suspected or confirmed to be a Kabane or Ajin you will try to be captured by someone, and eventually turned in to the government. The government will kill Ajins over and over, while in Kabaneri of  read more

In both shows the main character discovers he's immortal and has to flee or else they'd become the subject of some cruel experiments. I recommend it one way because Pupa's plot doesn't make sense, while Ajin's storyline is coherent and engaging. so if you liked Pupa go ahead and give Ajin a try.

Dark world full of violence, gore, inhumane actions, horror. Both anime makes you question what's good and bad, right or wrong. Police forces try to stop criminals/ajin, because they're threat to society.

Both have great and detailed animation that gives a lot to the atmosphere of anime and feeling. Lots of action, fights, deaths, blood and gore. Ajin has more of terrorism and killing, whilst Another has some detective horror story.

I consider these two anime the two best Thriller anime i've ever seen. And debating, Monster is probably the best Thriller anime existing. They both have really smart MCs and deliver a story, which seems unbelievable hard for them. You could not think of a way for these characters, to solve their problems and the surrounding crimes. Both anime are dark, gloomy and real. At least they feel so. Both anime have several plot twists, interesting characters and story lines and deep deep character development.

Ajin and Demi-chan are both about the rise of ajin in the modern world and how they are delt with. Ajin however, is much more serious.

Ajin and Big Order have a lot of similarities. To start, the main protagonist isn't exactly human. In Ajin he is an Ajin, which is a human who cannot die. While in Big Order, the main character is an Order user, his Order basically destroys everything around him. Each protagonist has a mummy like creature he can summon. The female main character in Big Order also, is immortal and regenerates after she is killed. In each series the protagonist has a younger sister who is in a hospital. To finish, each protagonist is being hunted by a group of people.

Boah and Ajin both have a main character who is being pursued by a villainous organization and is attempting to be killed off by scientists. In both anime, the main character is deemed a risk to others and has a companion to assist them in escaping evil. They are also highly action-packed and violent. If you like one, you'll like the other.

Both deal with humans who acquired supernatural abilities, terrorists who want the country to be theirs and those who want to stop them, along with the police. In addition, they show the sufficiency of those who are gifted, by being marked, by being trampled by even the humanity that is once part of them.

The powers of the characters in both anime are very similar as in both cases the characters summon monsters that they can control to fight for them.

I don't like anime with silly characters where decisions don't really make sense and their thinking seems random. Both these anime have intelligent characters, where you can only be pleasantly impressed with their decisions and thinking patterns. I guess both have a psychological aspect. They're not at all similar in terms of the plot. It's weird to say this since they both involve supernatural elements to the plot (time travel for Boku Dake, and Ajin creatures in Ajin), but they're both very realistic in a sense, I guess because of the way the characters respond to situations and the internal consistency.

Both anime are dark supernatural anime. The main protagonist (Yakumo Fuuji in 3x3 Eyes and Kei Nagai in Ajin) in both titles are immortal beings that can not die. The main protagonist in both titles got hurt in similar a deadly accident and end up finding out that they are immortal. The main protagonist in both series has a friend on their side to help them out. Both titles have action, violence, blood, and gore with a very dark and gritty atmosphere. If you enjoyed one, you will enjoy the other.

If you liked Ajin or the Promised Neverland... You'd enjoy the other. Both are set in a world that has a much darker side to it, the main cast are both struggling to survive in a world they thought they knew. The people they thought were friends, may or may not still be their friends. Both anime are complex, have a great pacing to them and contain 'monsters'.

In Ajin, the existence of these “inhuman” people is common knowledge but the monsters of Gleipnir are but a secret to everyone except the parties involved. However, both Ajin and Gleipnir feature main characters whose lives are inadvertently changed because of a strange property present in their bodies. Their situations are both showing the perspective of a high schooler with a promising future having to deal with the violent consequences of being inhuman.

These two anime have a similar premise with a non human character being hunted by a evil government because they are considered to be a danger to the people. These two have different tones, but they still focus on the idea that our main character is more human than the people going after them.

Both are mystery with a fast pace and surprising twists. There are ex-soldiers and a criminal mastermind in both who have a take on life like a big game. There are some supernatural elements in both. In both anime we discover the hidden truth as the protagonist searches for it, through their findings.

In these two anime, you have a boy main character who is not normal and is trying to fight for the worlds future. Both anime also have the main character that is caught between what they believe is right and wrong. They may be targeted at different demographics, but they do have a similar dark supernatural tone to both of these shows.

Nakano Kou from Ajin reminds me a lot of Shirou from FSN. Even though Ajin 1st season is mostly about Nagai Kei, Kou has a more significant role in the 2nd season. Kou and Shirou are both redheads with similar hairstyles; and wouldn't mind risking their own lives to save others. Luckily for them they are both near immortal (Many characters from Ajin because they are an ajin, Shirou because of some kind of plot device). Both anime have plenty of gore and epic action scenes. A major difference is that Ajin has more realistic characters IMO, while in FSN the characters are mostly archetypes (tsundere  read more

Very rarely are whole full length TV series made in full 3D like these two shows are. The atmosphere/genre/style/setting/plot/characters are all very different but the 3D visuals make them interesting curiosities.

Devils Line follows a similar formula to Ajin in which it talks about a different race amongst humans who are potentially dangerous. It also talks about the political aspects of one group against another, the public's reaction, and government involvement. The action and the moral discussions are also very similar. The only difference between the two is the romance aspect in Devils Line, but it makes the show that much more charming.

What makes the two series alike is that only a certain number of people posses something the majority does not have. In Mirrai Nikki it's the phones that the character in the show posses and the ability to know the outcome of future events. For Ajin, some characters posses immortality. While Mirrai Nikki's "God" literally gives a handful of people a survival game, for Ajin it is just survival and no "wish" would be granted to any of the characters ( although one or two of the characters in the anime make it seem like it is a game ).Furthermore both anime series makes you  read more

Sentai Daishikkaku and Ajin Demi-Human approach the journey of the anti-hero spiced with the theme of immortality and regeneration in very similar ways. In Ajin, the demi-humans possess an innate ability to regenerate, rendering them nearly immortal. This unique trait becomes both a gift and a curse, as they are relentlessly pursued by authorities eager to research or eliminate them just like the Dragon Rangers tend to exploit this trait unique to dustmen during their staged battles with these villains. The black soot that emanates from both demi-human and dustmen while regenerating from their wounds is a stark visual reminder of otherness their bodies possess  read more

Searching for people who keep coming back to life just like in Ajin? Well, Mermaid Forest is just like that. In Mermaid Forest, those who eat mermaid flesh become immortal. The protagonist, who is 500 year old, search for a way to turn back into a normal human. The plot may not sound so similar to Ajin, but whenever some character dies and comes back to life I simply can't think about anything else. It really gives a lot of Ajin vibes.

If you are looking for recommendations after completing either of these anime then you are not bothered by 3D computer graphics animation. That being said, Ajin and Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 are centered around a conflict between humans and non-human entities (Ajins and Post Humans). Government players are trying to capture and control these non-human entities while the Ajins and Post Humans are pursing their own agenda for society. People will always judge Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 more harshly because it does not measure up against other titles in the franchise, but it is an enjoyable series.

Dark atmosphere of the world, both series composed by Hiroshi Seko. Biggest thing they have in common is showing how few can control the many. Big corporations are testing new species whilst public knows nothing about it or are forced to thing that it's helpful and nice for ajin too. In Banana Fish it's the mafia ordering everyone around, getting people in important government positions do what ever mafia wants and public are left in the dark. Sort of soft disclosure.

Two and very very different anime, yet they have some things in common. Detailed and great art style ( even though ajin has cgi, it helps to create a darker atmoshpere and makes anime even better) Soundtracks are used well to help people to get in touched with characters and anime. Make it intense or easy and enjoyable. Also same voice actors

Do you want to become immortal? Maybe you should first watch Ajin and Mnemosyne and reconsider. In both anime the main characters as well as some of the antagonists are immortal; and in both series these immortals will have to suffer a great deal because of their immortality; such as being used as living test subjects for the weapon industry or used to harvest an infinite amount of organs. Both anime have plenty of action and some gore...and they might make you reconsider whether immortality would be a blessing or a curse.

Dark world where humans and and "monsters" live in the same society. ( Ajin (demi-humans) and ghouls). Both protagonists are living normal life, studying in school when accident happens and they find out that they're not humans anymore. Both main characters are being hunted by the police forces and special ops. Both MC's experience a lot of pain and are subjects of experiments and insane abuse. Lots of action, violence, gore, fight between humanity and ajin/ghouls. Psychological, questioning morals of what's good and bad/right or wrong, and humanity.
