Synopsis

For high schooler Kei—and for at least forty-six others—immortality comes as the nastiest surprise ever.

Sadly for Kei, such a feat doesn't make him a superhero. In the eyes of both the general public and governments, he's a rare specimen who needs to be hunted down and handed over to scientists to be experimented on for life—a demi-human who must die a thousand deaths for the benefit of humanity.

Ajin is something I love with an absolute passion.
I absolutely love the manga, the only real qualm I have when you compare the anime to the manga is that the anime is much less gory, believe it or not.

Story: 9/10
Just absolutely great, not only is the concept of the story beautiful but it's exceptionally well written as well.

"Ajin Part 1: Shoudou" is a thrilling and thought-provoking film that takes audiences on a journey through the world of immortal beings known as Ajin.

The film explores themes of identity, survival, and morality as Kei navigates his newfound powers and battles those who seek to exploit him.

The animation is top-notch, bringing the intense action scenes to life and immersing viewers in the world of Ajin. The voice acting is also superb, delivering powerful and emotional performances that ...

Polygon Pictures is the name of the studio behind this film, and the anime series Sidonia no Kishi/Knights of Sidonia. I bring them up because despite only having seen one completed series from Polygon Pictures (at the time of this review being posted) it was enough for me to make them my most hated anime studio. This hatred is derived from Knights of Sidonia, or as I refer to it Sci-Fi: The Anime since it’s biggest piece of sci-fi trite I have ever seen in any form of media. Every single plot point was predictable, it didn’t put a new spin on any established sci-fi ...
