| Mm, thought this might get an anime adaptation because of an "important announcement" by good Afternoon a few weeks ago. Looking forward to this. |
|
| Ah that's cool,heard good things about the manga but haven't checked it out myself yet.Movies are always welcome.Hope it's not as disappointing as TG. |
 |
| gonna watch this more horror anime are always welcomed |
 |
| Interesting. Gonna read the manga. |
| Im not too much into the horror things, but the synopsis looks promising. Will watch. |
| So is this an animated trilogy or live action? |
| Hm, this sounds like it could be quite interesting, and seems to be pretty popular. The wait for each installment to be available online will be a pain though. |
| "Highschool student <...>" Okay... But nonetheless it still sounds something interesting. |

|
| If this is going to be movie formatted that would mean absolutely no censorship! Can't wait :) |
 |
| That's amazing news. I've been reading this for a while, so I expected something like one cour anime adaptation in the near future, but now a film trilogy sounds exciting enough. Looking forward to this. Now I wonder which studio will take care of this... |
 |
| Film trilogy? Makes sense because most of the scenes in the manga can't be shown on TV without getting heavily censored. |
| Ohhhh sounds very interesting. I'm really into reading these type of manga, so I look forward to this adaptation. |
| Super excited. I started reading this when it first came out and have been hoping for an adaptation since then. Maybe I should catch up on the manga now. |
| Some fantastic news... Should be some good stuff. |
| Sounds awesome. The synopsis has some interesting background. |
| I hope this is animated or at least not crappy live action. |
| added the fourth most popular anime onto this site |
| Was hoping for a series, but oh well. |
| ok, will test it up horror anime's always welcome here since there aren't many of them. |
 |
| Heh.... "horror". Please tell me this is an actual horror and not just cheap jump scares. |
 |
| Horror anime rarely fail to disappoint |
  |
| looking forward to watch this!. |
| I've been meaning to read this for a while. Looks like a good time to start! |

| Was going to read it... eventually anyway but I guess I'll wait for the movies now, trilogy though, uh? Gonna be a while I imagine if they are full length and not those 45 minutes "movies". |
 |
| I wanted to read it too but now I will wait for the movies to come out, hoping they will be interesting. I've heard so much good comments about the manga. |
| If it's animated, I'll definitely try it. There's far too few horror animes. |

I mean there's blood, but the atmosphere doesn't feel too much like a horror. I guess they could mean horror in a different sense than I'm thinking about, but it's not as horrorific as other horror manga I've read in terms of gore or atmosphere, and I'm not the type to like scary stuff anyways. Still a pretty interesting manga so far though. The main character is really different from most characters I've seen, so it's quite refreshing. Looking forward to it :) |
 |
| Been hearing about this manga for a while now. I definitely will check these out when they are available. |
| Woohoo, Ajin is gettin' some love. I'll stick with the manga, though. :3 |
"Be the change you wish to see in the world."  |
| Yessss! Finaly! the manga is great |

| Love the cover. Noticed it a while back and I did expect an adaptation eventually. Looking forward to it. :) |
| Film trilogy....hmmm should I be happy or nope. |
 |
| Hope this becomes a trend for horror series :) This means the manga will probably end soon thou :( Sine they're gonna want to adapt everything. |

|
| Omg alright an adaption ,I've been up to date with it. |
 |
| I had a feeling this would get an adaptation. Last time I checked, I swore there were only 17 chapters or so though. |
 |
| No TV anime adaptation? |
 |
| Could be decent. I'll probably check the manga out beforehand though as it's going to be years yet before this trilogy is fully adapted with English subs. |
| Hmmm... sounds interesting. Might check out the manga. |
on 
| oh so there are some good news here time from time looking forward for it, though it's a shame that it's a movie trilogy as the wait for rips will be quite long :( |
 |
| Haven't read the manga yet. Gonna check it before the adaptation aired, just like above. |
| Been meaning to read this for a while now, but since it will be animated I'll watch it first. Awaiting the great animation! :D |
| Sounds fairly promising. |
 |
| I was expecting a TV adaptation but a movie trilogy is alright too. |
| Horror movies, eh? I'll watch, more horror anime's always welcome. |
 |
| Miura is no longer working on Ajin. |
| No surprise, I definitely expected that. But I thought it would get a tv series. Anyway, I'll sure watch the movies with high expectations. |
