Well, managed to watch the first 5 episodes and honestly I'm loving this series... shame that it seems that not many people watched this show in this forum.
That Old Man fight was incredibly awesome, one of the best action sequences I've ever seen to tell the truth.
Hope to finish the series tonight.
It's great if it weren't for the CGI crap. That was like the worst decision ever made in the anime industry last season. If this had normal art, it would've been on par with Parasyte.
Peace.
Since you´re mentioning it: WHY did some anime decide to use CGI? Is it cheaper? As much as I love Knights of Sidonia, it would have been so much better with fluid animation :/
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Well duh.
Peace.
Like in Sidonia, CGI ruins 99% of body language, body movements feel awkard.
But CGI works very well for immersion, as the environnement gets more depth and feels more realistic, and it works very well for action. It's no wonder Sidonia and Ajin get benefits in that department. But both had great background music.
I was sold on the show because of the very first scene that had a very nice impact and atmosphere. Same as Sidonia's first scene.
I'm fairly optimistic about it. For now it's far from perfect, but I'm pretty sure in time CGI can get rid of most of these troubles.
Also, creativity will probably allow for better ways of using it as any other tool offered to artists
Now for slice of life highschool anime, CGI clearly isn't best choice, for now
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
I don't like this style of CGI anywhere, even mecha combat. Watch Orphans and tell me you disagree.
Peace.
I'm just saying I liked some scenes/atmospheres in both shows thanks to CGI.
And I understand you hate it and there's nothing good about it for you.

I´m not against CGI per se. But then I don´t get why facial expressions are so bad here. I´m playing Tales of Zestiria or Digimon: Cyber Sleuth, and everything´s great, smooth, organic. Then I watch Ajin and it´s a mess.

Just curious, why did you restate our last posts?Originally Posted by David75
The Orphans comment was specifically aimed at mecha CGI.
Peace.
I've made my peace with CGI in general, started really with Green Lantern: The Animated Series which I didn't want to give a chance, the Berserk movies, and more importantly with Kingdom which I really had to force my way into tolerating (awesome series as it is). Not saying that this is where CGI began being used predominantly, but just the series that I began to make my peace with it. Most recently with God Eater.
Just not going to let the CGI get in my way of following a series I'm interested in regardless how much I hate it.
This. I hate it, but it's not reason enough to drop a good story. I actually didn't hate God Eater's cgi as much. It looked like a hybrid between 2d and 3d. And then there was the underboob.
Peace.
OK, I'm done with the first season and this anime has been quite awesome. Yes, plenty of head scratchers, but from a character, atmosphere, story idea, and action it has been top notch.
Kei and Satou are both really good characters. I have a soft spot for main "good" characters who have sociopathic tendencies in the mold of Dexter and John Cleaver. Not that he's around lusting for blood, but he's generally unfeeling and does what he feels is necessary for himself and damn the consequences for others (with few exceptions).
Satou well he's fucking nuts and his action sequences one of the best I've ever seen, the episode 5 one was incredibly and there was another beauty on episode 12.
I'm on the fence with Shimomura, I really like her, but she's still caged... want to see some more pro-activity from her in the second season. And, female Ajins have been lacking as it is...
A bit bummed out that Kei didn't figure much in the last handful of episodes as he wasn't factored into the main action, but it served to illustrate a lot of where his personality lies.
Anyways, as I mentioned before there is indeed a second season coming October and can't wait to see more of it.
Everyone here should give it a shot.
Btw, season 2 has started, you cucks! (not meant as an insult)
Episode 5 is out
--------------------
This show continues to have the BEST villain ever. An old dude, behaving like a young shounen-hero, playing handheld games all the time, but being on the side of evil. It is so refreshing to witness. And he´s successful, too. If he was on the heroes´ side, he´d easily be the main character.
The story continues in interesting ways. I suspected that the blond woman would be an ajin, too. Although I wonder how her guy keeps her in check, considering he treats her like shit.
Now I´m just curious, how they can top the "I squash the building where my target´s inside by crashing a bigger building into it, while riding on the latter!"
PS: I offcially ship Shimomura + Nakano. Love it when younger guys manage to "get" the hot, older woman ;P

Episode 6 is out.
It's really too bad that show isn't discussed in here. Is it really because of the 3D ?
Because the soundtrack, atmosphere, camera movements, scenes, scenario are all so good and pleasing that even the annoyances I mentionned in the past have no impact anymore. It's becoming so good that even the minor faults become a signature to the show. And most of the time. It's really growing on me. I enjoy that show a lot.
Minor gripe with this episode was how easy they got the info were Tosaki-san was held captive. I understand they need to script everything to keep a good rythm, but that was a little too much.
I hope some of you could forget about the visual shortcomings and enjoy that show.

Which sub of season 2 did you guys watch? Don't see anyone I'm familiar with.
I read speedsubs from Ajin2.com at the time. Sorry I can't help you.

I'm up to episode 10 of season 2, hope to finish the rest tonight.
And I just love this series, although it took a hit in the last episode, I love the main character's personality and Sato is simply awesome. I always had Johan from Monster right up there with my favorite villains, but Sato is right up there if not above him. Great initiative, sadistic, and just plain badass.
I wish more of you watched this series.
Well, as you can read in this thread, I fully agree in regards to Satou. One of the best, most enjoyable villains ever. I hope we get another season.

His VA does an amazing job as well.
Anyways, just finished it. Thumbs up all around, with little to complain about in all honesty. I hope we indeed get a third season. Is this considered a Netflix original or just have streaming rights? Maybe they can put some pressure.
That aside, any idea what Chapter of the manga the anime left off? Might be interested in continuing there if nothing else.
