    Ajin: Immortal 3D

    Most of the Ajin-Manga fans hate the 3D-Style the new Ajin-anime has. Especially the younger fan base cant understand the importance of this type of animation. A Seinen-anime like Ajin doesn't need a child-comfortable animation, it needs the 3D to create his unique fight-scenes which are that great that the action of common-known anime like One Piece looks cheap and frumpy. Of course, the face expressions of the characters suffer because of the 3D, but it doesn't matter in an action-splatter anime.

    The action is not the only thing that sets this series on fire: The great idea and the well considered plot are hilarious. Its about Japan from where we stand with only one difference: Everyone knows about the existence of Ajin. Ajin are ordinary people from the outside, but they have some supernatural abilities, and the most important is that they are not able to die. If an Ajin gets killed, he will restore his life to full health. So only the humans, who die accidentally, by sickness or by murder and revive immediately, get to know what they really are. Exactly this is what happens to the protagonist, an ordinary high-school student who gets in a deadly accident in front of his friends and a lot of strangers. He revives before their eyes and needs to run away after; because there is a bounty of hundred millions yen for reporting an Ajin that leads to his arrest. So the big hunt begins, police officers, special forces, bounty hunters and other Ajin appears during the plot fighting each other, without the scheme of good and evil, in this anime every party has some good points to fight for. This plot is also really into details, so it doesn't let space for any plot holes and all explanations for supernatural stuff doesn't appeal appropriate at any point. The characters are like the plot: Special and well thought out. The protagonist looks in the first place like the anime stereotype: a regular student who gets some abilities and turn into a hero. The first two things match, the third point is argueable, because he gets more and more selfish and helps only himself. He is smart at some points and he learns from his mistakes which makes him to an understandable, real character. But the protagonist is not an exception, all of the leading characters are extraordinary, but to describe them would spoil a lot.

    For all those fans of action and splatter and good plots, especially for fans from Parasyte, Tokyo Ghoul or God Eater is Ajin a big MUST. Same as the mentioned anime Ajin takes u on a trip you cant stop until the series is over, a trip where u will go on a ride through action, blood, drama and some cool patter without losing its speed, so u don't get the time to feel bored at any episode.

    The only bad thing about this series is, that there is only a small chance of getting a second season, because 3D-animation are not that popular and gets a lot of hate from the community.

    It is sad that these people will never appreciate this masterpiece without even watching it. I can just say that u better don't judge an anime by its unusual type of animation, being different is not equal with being bad.

    A great Anime series, with an interesting philosophy behind it

    Once you've gotten over the animation style, which obviously takes some time getting used to, Ajin tells a really interesting story about a boy for whom everything suddenly changes from one moment to the next and he begins to doubt his humanity.

    The main character goes through a phase of self-discovery.

    The fight between Ajins and humans is also interesting and raises the question of what actually makes a human a human.

    Ajins just want to be accepted as human beings, but the authorities, are just interested in one thing and that is to solve the mystery behind the humans who can't die, which leads to an enmity between the Ajins and humans.

    City of Rascals/Insanity

    This is very dark series and no one seem a positive character or normal character to me. Everyone look rascal that have no positive thing.

    Hero personality is defiantly underestimated and have layer that you can see. I think that is very unique character that you never seen before.

    Human character in this series are available are in just few may be they also just pretending.

    Good stuff

    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.

    Quite a good 2D/3D action horror anime!

    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.
