Season 2 of Ajin announced from the cover of the 8th volume! It will premiere for this Fall 2016.

Plot Summary:

Quote:

Ajin are humans that cannot die. Seventeen years ago, they first appeared on a battlefield in Africa. From then on, more of their kind are discovered within the human society. Their rarity in appearance means that, for experimental purposes, the government will generously reward anyone who captures one. In the present day, for what a certain high school student expects to be a typical summer holiday, his life is about to turn unexpected...

very nice!

Didn't have high hopes for this to get a second season, but this is still a pleasant surprise. They are getting a bit close to the manga though.

Harbinger · 2016-05-04, 15:26

Good! The way it ended screamed "gimme more"

Flower · 2016-05-04, 23:37

Kinda surprised and not surprised. But hey - s1 was quite good story writing, so more oif that level of things is always welcome as far as I am concerned. ^^

Angela×fripSide will be making the OP song for second season. This show really has great music imo.

Was hoping for an announcement that someone might pick this series up, but nothing yet. First so airs today though, so moving to Current.

Episode 1:

Oh nice, they didn't do much recapping and got exactly from where the first season's finale left off with the tower collapse. Sato is so badass still. Action and violence is pretty fluid as I had expected.

Kei hasn't changed much and is still on the run. Decent start so far, Sato still up to his clever tricks.

I don't like the new OP song much, at least compared to the previous one. Season 1's OP song set a pretty high standard but the new one isn't even half as good imo. Might skip it starting from the next episode.

Episode 1

They gave a really brief recap and then got straight to business. Kei is off to stop Sato with Nakano. Sato has a list of important people and will kill them one by one until their demands are met by the government which is pretty simple: Sato wants ajins to be treated like humans. But that's not going to happen because the government was conducting all those experiments for profit and revealing all that is the first demand. Society has already come to treat the ajin as monsters so even if the required legislation is done it'll take time for things to go back to normal. The government's issue here is mainly the part about revealing the experiments and the profit gained from it.

I like this Kei dude. He's pretty unfeeling and inhuman right now. He plans on using Tosaki's hospitalized lover as hostage to get his demands met by Tosaki. What he wants is protection and in return he will help take out Sato. It works for both of them because if Sato isn't stopped, Tosaki will lose everything and getting two more ajins on his side for this mission will only make things easier for him. Kei wants to get back at Sato for ruining his life and he can't do it with stupid Nakano only and needs more allies which is why he is pushing for this deal. And the deal is confirmed and Kei will start working with Tosaki from next week onwards.

The OP was obviously a disappointment compared to the previous season's. The previous season's OP was the best OP of its season and this OP isn't even close to that quality. Slow movements with the cgi are jarring as ever and fast action looks cool. Things are getting interesting now with Kei teaming up with his enemy to defeat Sato.

finally, this is the anime that I most looked forward to watch this season, finally we will see the completion of the battle of Kei vs old man Satou.

DemonneoPT · 2016-10-16, 15:13

It's back! Really missed this show.
Was not expecting Nagai to join forces with the police although his reasoning to do so is valid. Like he said, what can 2 teenagers alone do even tho they are immortal? Really liked this decision. I'm happy we will get to see a proper ending to the Sato arc with this second season. The guy is an awesome villain, it would be a shame not to see more of his actions.

Oh wow, the latest episode

Yamada II Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2015 Location: Pakistan Age: 28	Spoiler for Episode 2: So Kei and Nakamura are going to work for Tosaki and to be useful they need to be physically strong enough too. Nakamura is good physically, but not Kei. And Kei turns out to be an abnormal ajin. He was an ajin for a longer time than just the one month after dying for the first time. And because of that, he has a more weirder IBM. That story was quite something. The farmer's IBM starting to work on its own. It was pretty convenient, but was scary too. And Kei's unusual IBM can be summoned for much longer and more times in a row which is the one advantage he has over Satou. And Kei isn't willing to get too close to those humans. And that's so he can use them as pawns if the situation calls for it. He doesn't care about lives other than his own. He probably doesn't even care about his own life either because it isn't gonna end that easily lol. I like how Kei is different from normal people as in he doesn't care about anyone and is willing to use anyone in any way he can. And based on the next episode preview, Kai might be back, unless that was a flashback. It has been quite a while since Kai was last mentioned. And Satou was badass as always. He got a heavy dose of makeup, got on a plane, barged into first class, shot everyone there, including Sakurai, and then blows a bomb in the plane. Doesn't get any more badass than this. I like this guy.

Yamada II Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2015 Location: Pakistan Age: 28	Spoiler for Episode 3: So Kei goes to the professor for help and he tells him to change himself because the personality of the IBM depends on the person. The plan is to try and catch Satou when he comes for the guy lower on the hit list because it's easier to track his movements. Which means that they'll leave the others and use their deaths to try and figure out Satou's pattern of attack. But Satou manages to kill Kishi-sensei who was hidden by the government under tight security and supposedly no one knew about his location. And Kai is in juvenile prison where he'll be going through some shit. It's possible that Kai shows up at the wrong time in front of Kei and he has to go save him while risking the plan. That should be cool. Unless he dies before that or something.
