Hat-man just rode that skyscraper on down. It isn't every day you get a good crazy villain like him.
Great music again too.

If it comes to similarities, I can tell you a series of anime have similarities:
It doesn't matter if THOSE anime are similar to each other. What matters is the similarities between Ajin and TG
Not important at what point they are the similar, but the way they were constructed. Ajin more realistic when most things are in real life (organ trafficking, gun smuggling, illegal Experiments on the human body, racism, War...), but who immortalized, Which is the value of it.
And I say Ajin and TG have great similarities and are constructed in a similar way
Of course that's just my opinion, and I think every anime has its own meaning so no need to compare them.
So I'm not allowed to compare anime to each other simply because of the fact that they are two different anime even if the borderline plagiarism similarities are so obvious that they can't be overlooked?

This is bullshit

Haha you troll. Idt there are that many similarities other from superficial ones, but imo, Ajin is TG taken up a notch and really and more thoughtfully fleshed-out. It's what the TG anime could have been. Just because of that, it's worth watching.

Damn, am I the only one who thinks this anime is wayy too underrated? ERASED was decent, but I'm loving Ajin way more at the moment D: It should at least be in the Top 3 for winter 2016, right? D":
maybe it's just me

I completely agree. Erased was above average, but no masterpiece. Ajin deserves Erased's hype imo.

Man oh man. That Satou. It's rare for me to like a villain, but this guy is just badass. Props to him. Glad I read this thread too, or I would've missed out on the censorship discussion.

The manga seems pretty sweet too. Certainly worth a look. Also, Polygon is one cool studio.

Very creative of Satou to crash another building into it.

Definitely in love with this show! It sucks that when it finishes we will only get what the movies cover and then thats it, I started reading the manga just because I can't stand the wait.

aw I was really hoping to see the plane scene animated. They done really well with the alternative though, was wondering how they were gonna replace it.

Love how Kei is sitting there eating and watching it on the news. Now that's realism for you.

I'm gonna be honest here, dropping a big ass building on top of another is definitely more crazy than dropping a plane on it. One of those rare times were a censor is actually better than what was censored xD

This episode really raised my opinion of this show. The stakes are enormously high and Satou has to be the meanest mofo in the valley of death. Despite being a complete maniac, I really dig having a character like Satou in anime. Anyone over the age of 35 is treated like an old fossil in manga/anime, and having a resourceful, smart, charismatic and ruthless antagonist who looks 60 is downright unique. A refreshing change from the teenage monster stories that populate the medium.

kei is still being a douch bag and satos plan was fucking nuts. Dropping that whole building on the smaller one was a site to behold. I live in new york so that scene did bring flash backs to 9/11 a bit espcially the dust part.

Boy that escalated quickly.

One has to admit that Satou is pretty badass though.

After checking out the manga I also have to admit that I preferred the anime version. Somehow this was even MORE insane imo.

I do find the change to Sato's plan to using a building rather than airplane interesting. Part of the meaning, I feel, is lost in that it was to reflect a true mirror image of terrorism that can be used even further by indivuduals who could do it over and over again. At the same time it gave a sense of suspense for those that read the manga as it was clear from the beginning that the plane was not going to be used in this storyline's plan. A truck bomb was possible, but that would have been a real letdown as that could easily be stopped. The collapsing building was a surprise which allowed for the same type of tactics taken with the the plane; totally unexpected and impossible to stopped once implemented. It was also possible since the main preparations took place away from the Pharmaceutical building which made it more believable. You just have to ignore some basic physics and knowledge of how buildings are built to fall a certain way, but it is only a story so that wasn't too hard to do. Overall, Netflix do a good job with the interpretation of the plane scene had to be removed.

FUCK POLYGON PICTURES, first they censor fingers being cut and now the 9/11 scene, I put up with their disgusting lazy CGI and I don't even get what I want to see, the defining moment for Sato as a batshit crazy villain, the 9/11 plane crashing was really all his doing and he didn't get much help from the other ones, and that has impact later on in the story
They had the good rising tension sound track for it too and it's even the 11th episode for fucks sake how more convenient could it be?
They also skipped a scene where Tanaka warns some girls before heading toward the explosion, fuck characterization I guess.
Sato runs the show, that much is clear, some of the stuff in the series oddly reminds of the heists in GTA V in a way.
0/5.


A bit late on the series but you had my thoughts exactly though I have no complaints about the CGI so far. BUT THE PLANE CRASH WAS ONE OF THE PINNACLE MOMENTS OF AJIN!!! As you said, it truly was one of the moments that really highlighted how much of a twisted badass Satou is. Just having him 'ride' that collapsing building was plain ol' weak compared to his solo plane crash which really made him the cunning BADASS antagonist he is. I mean logically he didn't even have to be on top of the building compared to the plane where he had to personally highjack it. =.=
And the Tanaka scene... gosh I still remembered how I 'realized' his true character when I read that part in the manga.

Ugh. These scenes may seem plain in the manga but they hold such vast intricacy to the characters' development, characteristics and of course the message that it brings. Censorship pure gore can be understandable but this was just stupid.

Lol, Satou had to preserve his image as "The Hat".

Seems like they're saving the Anti-Ajin squad as the last resort, I wonder what kind of army that is, I'm guessing it's an army of an Ajin.

i didn't see that coming at all. that was a serious power move, taking down an entire skyscraper like that. and flattening your target with the tower as it fell. riding on top of the damned thing, though? smh... i will say, right as he was about to hit (and die) my butthole puckered up. idk why but that made me flinch haha

there's no way this police squad stands a chance against a trained ajin, is there?
