Ajin

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.

The full on war between a minority and a majority that wants to hunt down the minority and do whatever they want with them is the main and first appeal of this anime that you will notice from the first episode. Along with the general rogueness of how the protagonist acts, then you will appreciate how this anime plotline is written. Not to say it is completely perfect, the anime has some interesting but sometimes mesmerizing(Not in the ideal way) visuals and animation styles plus techniques which may make it hard to watch sometimes for some. However, if you enjoy warring facts dishing it out ... where on want to subjugate fully the other, then this is the anime which many of you will enjoy if you usually enjoy (race) wars.

Mixed Feelings

Ajin is a show that does a lot of things pretty good, a few things mediocre, and nothing really amazing. The fights are really cool, the story and premise are pretty interesting, but the characters (with the exception of cool hat bro) are pretty fucking bland. The worst part of the show has got to be the dialogue for sure. Most of the time you find yourself cringing through the talking parts hoping for the next fight or major plot developement. I actually like the cgi art style, thought they did a good job with that, sue me.

Opening sounds pretty alright, nothing fantastic. The visuals ... along with it are super generic though.

Not Recommended

Extremely generic anime.

It uses an interesting system of power, but does not elaborate or develop it, nor does it take advantage of its potential in fights. By the way, the fights are extremely predictable, both in terms of outcome and progress. The 3D is mediocre, not because of the style chosen in the adaptation, but because of the execution or perhaps the budget.
As for the characters, they are quite forgettable apart from the protagonist, and the extremely superficial way in which the author approaches the bonds is regrettable... The plot's biggest effort in this regard was to try to humanize the lady that the protagonist ... had a certain affection for, but that was it.

It's normal for a work to be simpler or "rushed" because it's short, but that's no excuse for being mediocre, and Ajin is far from being a good work. There is a huge lack of details and a total disregard for the characters... In short, it's not worth watching.
