Ajin (Anime) add (All reviews)
Apr 11, 2016
Ajin was an anime that I never thought of watching at first, but it's theme, fantastically written characters, and the story behind it was what got me hooked. I learned about this anime in a Japanese Club at my university, and didn't think I'd watch it because of the art, but since I had watched RWBY, I thought it might be worth it to. The art is by far what I disliked most about this anime, because I'm not used to 3d graphics, and I prefer the 2d art style of traditional anime.

Now, for the story of this series. I haven't read the manga, so I'm not qualified to write about if it's accurate or not. I found the story of this show to be incredibly complex and unique, despite shows like Tokyo Ghoul and Parasyte becoming really popular in past years. This took an incredibly realistic approach to a supernatural being like the Ajin, with many of them being tested in labs and not being able to live normal lives. It also got to the heart of how I feel many people would react in situations like these.

The music in this anime is good, despite being relatively limited. A lot of the background music in the show is downplayed to further the action showed, and bring forward a lot of the dialoue and other background noise that's present.

The characters are by far the main reason why I decided to watch the show. The character of Nagai Kei surprised me by having characteristics that I wouldn't have expected out of the main character, and nearly all of the side characters have been highly developed as well, such as Kaito, Satou, and Tanaka Kouji. You find yourself rooting for many different characters all at once due to their nature and how they all deal with this situation differently.

Overall, I found this anime highly enjoyable, and I hope that they make a season 2. I definitely found this anime more intriguing than many of the other shows that I have watched recently, and I may even read the manga after finishing this review. I highly recommend watching this anime, despite the strangeness of the artwork.

(This review is the first one I've made, but I felt like I needed to finally write one for this anime. I hope you guys found this helpful!)
