You have to get used to the animation, but the anime is quite good anyway, especially because there is a lot of mystery around what Ajin actually are, their powers, and their role in the world. This is a good introduction—quick and to the point.

I'm not a fan of animation. It has a powerful intro and the story has a lot of potential.

A heart-stopping opening five minutes set to a fast-paced soundtrack. The action and the mysteries that lie ahead will keep you following the path of the Ajin – immortal beings in human form. The Ajin aren’t of this world… or are they?

Episode Context

As the series premiere of a 13-episode season, this episode functions entirely as foundation, introducing Kei Nagai, the concept of Ajin, and the societal dynamics that will fuel every conflict ahead. It deliberately establishes normalcy before the narrative shatters it, directly setting up the second episode, 'Why Is This Happening to Me? I Didn't Do Anything Wrong!,' where the personal stakes escalate dramatically. Everything here is calibrated to make what comes next hit harder.
