For the unacquainted, Ajin is a 2016 anime series adapted from a 2012 manga of the same name. What makes us human, what drives the human experience, and if humanity is ultimately a force for good or evil are only a few of the questions creative media explores, and each writer, artist, academic, and everyone in between has a unique way of attempting to answer these questions.Ījin: Demi-Human (hereinafter referred to as simply Ajin) is a series that uses these questions and more as a way to explore the ethical and moral curiosities of humanity. Humanity has been a topic of discussion in creative works since people could discuss it. We mull them over, we form our opinions based on what information we have at our disposal, and we create works with our opinions and thoughts woven into them. Regardless, as people, we search out answers to these big questions. Many of these questions will simply never be answered with any degree of certainty at all, while others will always be hotly debated with no clear answer in sight due to a myriad of opinions on the matter.
Life has been, and always will be, full of big questions that will never be answered completely.
