Finished the Ajin anime today and wow it was such a great anime! The changes from the manga were a pleasant reimagining of the story and the end battle was awesome! I really enjoyed Tanakaās continued loyalty to Satou in the anime as thatās my only complaint in the manga so far. I donāt really care for bad guys turning good, however I loved that Okuyama, Gen, and Takahashi joined Nagai and company. I honestly thought Tanaka was turning on Satou in the anime and was gearing up for Satou to blast him in the face but that didnāt happen. They just played video games ā¤ TheirĀ āescapeā was pretty cool (God Satou is so badass!!) and it means they can both keep on doing things, together š
Canāt wait for Volume 12 of Ajin! Been reading the manga since it first came out. Iām currently watching the anime and the cell shading animation mix is actually really good. I thought it would bother me because cell shading is often terrible, however Ajin is done really well. Fight scenes are great and the facial expressions are awesome because they speak louder and with more emotion than most 2D anime can express. The only issue I can see (which doesnāt bother me) is the frame rate or jumpiness of the animation. Which I think is because of budget issues as this series doesnāt seem popular (WHY? its amazing). Because of this animation style, all the characters appear consistently drawn in every shot and I love that.
I love Sakuraiās art style. It was a breath of fresh air when I picked up the first volume. I was so bored of all the generic anime styles (and stories) and his art has grown exponentially since then. Great story and characters. Wish the anime and manga were both longer because there is so much potential with this series.
Satou and Tanaka are my favourite characters. Satou is #1 and he is such a uniquely badass villian with adorable suspenders and that fucking hat. Also I love that he always has his eyes closed and when he opens them I get chills. And I love right hand men type characters, like Tanaka with his awesome jacket, terrible aim, loyalty (cough), and his awkwardness/or whatever youād call it.
Loosely based on this fantastic oneshot Ajin Westworld AU by Concept of ZeroĀ in which Satou visits a post-apocalyptic theme park rather than the western one youād see in the tv show.
Tanakaās a cool life-like robot and Satouās known him for a long time. Tana used to have a storyline where he was looking for his family, but later on heās changed over to a storyline where heās part of trouble-making gang. Sometimes Satou is his friend but other times his tormentor. Tanaka doesnāt remember this but eventually he does.
Also, Satou had surgery to remove the scar so he could look āpresentableā when he took over dadās business.
