AJIN: Demi-Human

POLYGON PICTURES renders this fugitive thriller in full CG, giving its immortal bodies an unnervingly physical weight and its city chases a cold, procedural edge.

Synopsis

The Anime Lad

Kei Nagai walks away from an accident no one should survive and discovers that makes him an Ajin, a rare immortal human. The authorities would like to discuss this in the controlled environment of a laboratory. Kei declines. What follows begins as a brisk urban manhunt where healing solves immediate injury, not the problem of being recognizable.

Super Eyepatch Fox

A student survives a fatal accident in public. His recovery identifies him as an Ajin, and the reward for his capture turns streets into hostile territory. Run, hide, recover, repeat. Full-CG bodies hit the pavement with uncomfortable force while the pursuit treats immortality as a resource someone intends to own.

Gigguku

Imagine finding out you cannot stay dead at the exact moment a crowd gets proof. AJIN launches straight into panic and pursuit. The full-CG style gives every impact brutal solidity, while the international bounty turns strangers into possible captors. Immortality should feel empowering. Here it makes every public space look dangerous.

Father's Basement

The character animation can look rigid before your eyes settle into it. Then the same stiffness starts working for the material. Kei is a newly exposed Ajin in a society that sees immortality as public property, and the show frames his escape with the clipped tension of a police procedural. Do not expect a cuddly chosen-one fantasy.

Kei Nagai’s body should have died when a truck slams into his body, but instead, he finds himself resurrected with all of his wounds healed. Now revealed to be an Ajin, one of a mysterious new breed of immortal demi-human, he’s been marked with an international bounty, and in the eyes of the world, Kei is a specimen to be taken by any means possible.

What defines it

A tense urban fugitive thriller rendered in full CGI. Tactical immortality, crime, terrorism, moral detachment, and escalating cat-and-mouse action.
