The full 13-episode first season of Ajin: Demi-Human has arrived on Netflix, complete with an English dub and subtitles. Polygon Pictures' adaptation of Gamon Sakurai's manga plunges viewers into a world where immortal beings known as Ajin are hunted by the government.
The series follows Kei Nagai, a high school student who discovers he is an Ajin after a fatal accident. His subsequent flight from authorities, aided by the enigmatic Sato, sets up a tense cat-and-mouse game filled with brutal action and existential dread. The show is particularly noted for its distinctive, often jarring, full CGI animation style, which Polygon Pictures has utilized in other notable works like Knights of Sidonia.
With a MAL score of 7.38 from over 311,000 voters, Ajin: Demi-Human offers a compelling blend of supernatural action, horror, and mystery. Its mature themes and anti-hero protagonist explore the darker side of humanity's reaction to the unknown, making it a standout in the seinen genre.
This first season concludes setting the stage for the ongoing conflict, leaving viewers eager for the confirmed second season. For those seeking a dark, action-packed thriller with a unique visual identity, this is a binge-worthy addition to Netflix's library.
