01/01/2021 this show is exellent. similar plot, story, and character cast to tokyo ghoul, albeit with different powers and motives. the animation is highly detailed whilst sacrificing frames per second, something people unfairly bash this show for. See more e j @Ejeck 10/05/2020 The rendered cell shading is a bit off-putting, but it is a great action anime. It is worth your time to watch; however, it is not for young kids. See more 08/06/2019 I'm a growing anime fan, but I'm a little too old to like most of it. The fast pace and exaggerated characters of the genre in general makes me want to stop watching. THIS season 1 series, though, has been superb. The animation is fabulous, and the story is surprisingly creative; the characters feel real/complex. The action exists, but it doesn't beat you over the head. Can't recommend this enough... See more Mayank A @Mayank197 10/28/2017 Really enjoyed the anime, it is a shounen anime (aimed primarily at a young male audience, typically characterized by action-filled plots). It had its share of issues but overall a good watch. Storyline: Standard run of the mill story of Human vs Something Unnatural, Ajin in this case, a human which canÂ’t be killed, they also have a ghost-like companion which they can call to do there bidding. What it had working for it was the constant development of characters focused plot and the fast-paced storytelling, time was not wasted on useless drawn out fight sequences. Love a Shounen anime which is story driven. (8/10) Animation: Unlike other anime, this was a 3D CGI, would say decent most of the time, but at first it felt too erratic and took time to get used to, most of the times the body movements felt slow and unnatural, only during action sequences there was smooth flow. The biggest reason why people will not like the anime is the animation. (4/10) Action: Really enjoyed it, the fight sequences were tactical based and not simply overpowering someone mindlessly. Good use of mind games, strategy, ability and modern weapons. (8/10) Characters: One of the few anime where the bad guy was more interesting and intriguing than the supposed lead. There is no clear good vs bad here, survival, self-motivation is the biggest driven forces. (8/10) See more 12/28/2016 Para los que no han visto. Recomendada. Ya estĂ¡ la segunda temporada <3 :D See more 04/18/2016 Not really into anime, but this is possibly the best animation series I've seen so far. Story flow, the characters, animation, everything is done meticulously. See more Read all reviews
