Synopsis

Mysterious immortal humans known as "Ajin" first appeared 17 years ago in Africa. Upon their discovery, they were labeled as a threat to mankind, as they might use their powers for evil and were incapable of being destroyed. Since then, whenever an Ajin is found within society, they are to be arrested and taken into custody immediately.

Studying hard to become a doctor, Kei Nagai is a high schooler who knows very little about Ajin, only having seen them appear in the news every now and then. Students are taught that these creatures are not considered to be human, but Kei doesn't pay much attention in class. As a result, his perilously little grasp on this subject proves to be completely irrelevant when he survives an accident that was supposed to claim his life, signaling his rebirth as an Ajin and the start of his days of torment. However, as he finds himself alone on the run from the entire world, Kei soon realizes that more of his species may be a lot closer than he thinks.

Ajin's first season introduces an anime centered on intensity and intrigue, presenting noteworthy action sequences and a well-paced narrative. The action scenes are well choreographed, providing an explosive and entertaining experience with dynamic and fluid movements, thanks to the utilization of computer-generated character animation. However, the CG style may not appeal to all viewers, potentially presenting a challenge for those accustomed to traditional animation techniques. While it integrates smoothly into the series, some contemporary anime fans might find the visuals unappealing. The plot of Ajin relies heavily on action and suspense to advance the story, sometimes at the expense of character development. While characters' motivations ...

Ah, this show had so much potential: Unique and beautiful animation, interesting concept, a very cool vibe, the main character Kei is intriguing. He keeps track of his "friends" in his phone as "Friend 1," "Friend 2," etc., lol, because he is quite the sociopath. He has only one friend, to whom he no longer speaks because it would be a detriment to his social standing at school to do so, but when the shit hits the fan, that friend is the only person who's there for him, and Kei ends up making an incredible sacrifice inspired by him. Is Kei managing to break through ...

I originally started watching this anime because there was so much hype around it at the time, especially on YouTube, where everyone seemed to be talking about it. The first episode genuinely impressed me, largely thanks to an amazing action scene that set a high bar and pulled me in right away. That excitement carried me through the first few episodes, but my enthusiasm soon began to fade. Unfortunately, the following action scenes never quite reached the same level as the opening, and I started noticing that the animation style felt more and more awkward, almost distracting at times. But what really pushed me away ...
