A freak accident reveals to young Kei Nagai that he is more than your average teenager. After being ran over by a truck, Kei is brought back to life by a mysterious substance known as Invisible Black Matter. He is now an "Ajin", or demi-human, one of very few immortal beings in existence. With no one to turn to but a childhood friend, Kei must fight for survival not only for himself but for the fate of innocent humans threatened by an evil Ajin known as Mr. Sato, the Soldier of God. Under constant hunt from government specialists, bounty hunters, and other Ajin–Kei will discover the depths of his hidden strength, and what it truly means to be a human being in the face of terrifying and insurmountable odds. 17 years ago, immortals first appeared on the battlefields of Africa. Later, rare, unknown new immortal lifeforms began appearing among humans, and they became known as "Ajin" (demi-humans). Just before summer vacation, a Japanese high school student is instantly killed in a traffic accident on his way home from school. However, he is revived, and a price is placed on his head. Thus begins a boy's life on the run from all of humankind. 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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>If you want something 3D animated with a dark story then I would recommend it.<br/><br/>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. 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.<br/><br/>Storyline: Standard run of the mill story of Human vs Something Unnatural, Ajin in this case, a human which can'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)
