For me, Ajin is a good anime: good story, good art and good character creation.
The story of city monsters who are hunted is always an interesting theme, and producers have developed it skillfully to make a dramatic and attractive anime. However, there are many points that I can't understand, or in other words, they sometimes fail to convince me. Before Sato acts, ajin are completely harmless to humanity, and they're not scary. So, why do people loathe them? The background of the ajin is the modern world, so I don't see why people treat them like this just because they are different.
About character, I really
...
like Nagai Kei. He is even one of my favorite anime characters. He is a main character who doesn't have to be a hero, or possess infinite goodness or always worry about others. Selfish, but very smart and not morally loose. He never does anything useless, thinks quickly but carefully and effectively, and completely concentrates on his target. It makes me shiver with excitement when I think how strong he can become. Sato is also not bad, a warlike old man. And government camp has some interesting characters, too. But the supporting characters are too insipid. There are not a lot of details to show their motives, so I feel that they are like inanimate puppets.
Ajin's art is good, too. 3D technology was used to make it. This is a new technology and there aren't a lot of anime which are made by it like Ajin. So, some people feel uncomfortable with it. But I think without this technology, this anime can not be as lively as it is now, especially IBM's illustration.
