Ajin

Really good story. Excellent gun noises. Good characters. The drawing/artwork/animation is absolutely first class.

My review is based on Japanese audio with Subtitles

Normally 2D and 3D don't mix well together in western cartoons that I've watched from the past. However, this anime surprised me because I actually didn't mind both 2D and 3D blending in together!

Anyways I thought this anime series was quite good for a change. I wasn't really finding it scary but it had intense scenes where Kei and Kaito were trying to escape from the government from getting arrested and being tortured for experimentation. Mostly they really wanted Kei because they basically discovered he is an "Ajin" where his kind is said to be types of monsters with invisible powers. Although the boy didn't even know himself that he was an ajin so it does add the tension to the story.

The anime is not really the best in my personal opinion but it does the job in bringing good thrilling entertainment especially having great English Dub actors such as Johnny Yong Bosch and Bryce Papenbrook.

Ajin is a show about these being called Ajin which are black ghosts which are inspired within humans because of this ability they won't be able to die.

I have just watched this show and I have to say it's very good and interesting. I even like the 3D/CGI animation it has to it. I have watched many different 3D/CGI animated shows such as Green Lantern the animated series, Beware the batman, Spider-Man 2003, Star Wars the clone wars and a little bit of Star Wars Rebels.

But I have never came across an anime which was an anime which is CGI or 3D animated and it's definitely a nice change of pace then the same 2D animated or different use of colours which I see a lot in animes.

If you want something 3D animated with a dark story then I would recommend it.

Now I just hope there is a season 3 in the works so the series can end on a proper note. If you are going to watch this show expect an ending which would be left on a cliffhanger which may take time to resolve.

So right off the bat the first thing I have to say is this show is produced by Polygon Pictures, the same company that produced "Knights of Sidonia" so that means its 100% CG animation. Now my first impression was I didn't really like it(the animation), but I got use to it fairly quickly and as the series progressed theirs definitely quite a few epic scenes where it looks really good. So the story is about immortal people, if they die they basically instantly revive 100% fine & reconfigured. For me the story itself is pretty fresh, I haven't seen to many shows that involve immortals or at the very least they don't express the immortal aspects as the main focus as this show does, so its quite interesting. So the story is quite unique and expresses realistically how it would be if we discovered immortals in the real world, they'd be hunted like animals for research etc. It does a really good job about how people would view and react to things, they give you just enough information to understand and leave you with so many questions, it definitely leaves you wanting more. The animation, as I said is 100% CG. I know most people wont even give this a chance just because of this, but this show is pretty bad ass. From episode 1-10 I was enjoying it but what pushed me from a 7<8 was the last 3 episodes, they were EPIC, so bad ass lol. So if the idea of immortals sounds awesome (like it does to me) then just stick it out and watch cause you'll definitely get into it but for the love of god don't quit before the last 2 they make the hole show so epic. The music seemed pretty good, my first listen to the OP & ED I wasn't really into it but on my second listen it really grew on me & I found it quite enjoyable. All the music during the show matched fine as well. The English dub was pretty good, I didn't necessarily dislike any of them. So if your into action, blood, & bullets with a bit of mystery I think you'll enjoy it, just give the CG a chance its not so bad.

4/5 Why? Its a pretty intriguing story, it hasn't been done a hundred times and theirs things about it that separate it from typical immortal stories (not gonna go into spoilers though). The animation although its different from your typical anime its actually quite good (some parts clearly better than others but as a hole its good). The dub & music match well, nothing really feels off or missing. If your into action, blood, epic fights check this out. If you watch it to the end you'll be happy you did, my favorite episodes are the last two. Give the CG a chance!!

Not gonna lie. This is my (supposedly) first anime series I've ever watched until the end. The story was decent and animation is great, despite people hating it because of the 3d animation. Although, people said that this anime did not stay true to the manga so they discontinued after season 2. I was pretty sad, but it is understanable. Good anime nonetheless. i watched this back around ocotber 2017 and finished it around december.
