    Great series. Top animation

    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

    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.

    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.

    Pretty Damn Awesome!

    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!!

    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.
