Tokyo Ghoul

First season has the one of the best writing i have ever seen. After that they diverged from tha manga and.. lets just say Tokyo ghoul has only one season

This is a story about a boy who is changed into something he fears. He then has to learn how to live on the border between what he is used to and what he fears.

The show is tremendously violent and gory, but not extraordinarily so in it's genre. It kind of falls into the Supersayan-problem of ever more powerful enemies that can only be defeated by the main character after becoming stronger, but it varies enough (more so in the second season than the first). Despite the characters feeling all over the place in the first few episodes, there is a point to that and after two seasons I actually quite like how the character arcs turned out.

What makes this story for me is it's underlying themes. It's about the big subjects of life and death and love and hate, but it does so in a different way than I am used to. The show seems to ask by showing murder after murder, battle after battle, slaughter after slaughter: isn't this pointless? Every time it sets a character up to be violently taken apart it makes a point to say that that character had value and now he or she is no more. It makes the point of the show, despite it's extreme violence one of pacifism.

It is a tremendously depressing watch, but definitely something I haven't seen before and something I don't know if I should recommend. Watch this if: a. you like violent anime and just want to see the pictures, because it is well made and not focus on the plot or b. you like feeling like crap after binging on short episode after short episode.

PS I don't like the title songs, but I am sure many people disagree.

I really enjoyed the first season of this series, but after that it went kinda downhill - I also watched second season and I didn't think it really lived up to the hype of the first season. The ending of second season got to me, and I actually thought it was quite okay anyways - but as soon as :re came out I was out the door. "What the heck is wrong with this" I thought to myself multiple before finally dropping it around the third episode of the latest season.

Season 1 was great, I'd give it an 8. Season 2 was still okay, but not nearly as captivating as the first, still a solid 6 or 7. Season 3 was completely unwatchable, I had no idea anymore who was who, who was fighting against whom, and what it was all about, so I gave up thoroughly frustrated after three or four parts. It was a confusing, pointless mess. Life's too short to waste your time on disappointing experiences like this.

Since the three seasons hardly have anything to do with each other, my recommendation is that you watch season 1, which is worth it, and pretend that the rest doesn't exist. You'll be doing yourself a favor. Actually there are precious few long anime series for which this doesn't hold true.

The anime is about a boy named Ken Kaneki who was an ordinary boy before encountering with a ghoul who he was on a date. Ken Kaneki was saved but he is badly injured. In order to save him, her (ghoul) organs are transplant into his body which in fact resulted him to be an half ghoul. From ordinary life to becoming a ghoul who only eats human flesh,will he able to survive??

It was incredible from starting to end. I'm happy it has some more seasons so I don't have to say good bye to this now.
