To say that the story is unique is an over statement. The only thing that sets this a part is the shading that the studio uses. It has similar vibes from other shows like Tokyo Ghoul and other symbiotic/parasitic backgrounds. It tells the story of a world that 2 types of human beings exist. Those that are Ajin and those that are not. Ajin are humans that are either aware of not that they have Invisible black matter that come alive either through reverse command (Think of it as reverse phycological instructions - A stubborn entity that will only do as it's told when you ask it the opposite) and do the bidding of its Host. I like this concept as it's not something i have seen anywhere else. It's beautifully done and not like many other animes out there. The Antagonist is built up on hatred of mankind and wants to Conquer the world. The Protagonist wants to stop this guy and gains the support of human and ajin friends. Although the story is okay it isn't compelling enough to give it much more than 6/10 Animation
I have to say, i like the fact it uses the shading style in this series but it does take a little while to adjust to. It may seem like a little delayed in frame rate (Or at least that is my impression of it). I believe the studios intention was to create something standalone from any other anime series and they have in a way captured a love/hate audience in some cases. I gave it a chance and watched it through. But be prepared to adjust to this different style. 7/10
Sound
The Opening music and ending tracks are decent and have enjoyed listening to them (without skipping to the anime) several times. The sound the IBM's make is cool as well. 8/10 Characters
The characters are cool. However i feel that there isn't a lot of time spent on building up a back story for them. In some cases we get this from the protagonist and supporting characters but what i get from the series is thrown into action where you can just about learn of the IBM's and Ajin Hosts to enjoy watching it. They could have spent a little more time on character building but i guess you don't get a lot of time to play with in a 13 episode series. 6/10
Overall
I gave this anime an overall rating of 7/10 and would recommend this to others. Give it a chance.
