so the first season was kind of good, but also kind of meh. a lot of establishing what everything is (but not even). i think Kei is a cool character in so much he’s not very typical; in the first season he’s actually kind of flat. first season only feels redeemable when you’re okay with some exposition.
i’m only on episode 4. *but* it’s starting to pick up a lot. there’s also some ghost in the shell vibes, but with “powers.” i think the terrorist vs. gov’t dynamic is really interesting in settings devoid of racism. the terrorists, in these fictionalized situations and sometimes in real life, are operating with higher moral ground; in this case, not wanting to be used as test subjects, and demanding basic rights. for ajin, this becomes more compelling because Kei, despite no moral leanings, joins the side that would have him held prisoner because the terrorists have made a life of laying low impossible. Kei’s development as it’s tied up in this is also pretty interesting because as the bloodshed continues he becomes more conscious of other people’s feelings. i’m not sure if there’s a right place for this series to go(?) it seems like the terrorists will lose, but then what happens to ajin rights. and Kei, actually. because he doesn’t exist outside of this fugitive-turned-fighter, i wonder how he’ll develop change outside. i also don’t know if there’s a manga/light novel, or even if it’s going to go beyond season 2
