Tokyo Ghoul

OK, so it's not often an anime this dark comes around, and so I just had to check it out. I haven't read the manga (if there is one), so I'm not sure if this follows closely or not. And without dropping any spoilers, it would appear a second season may be coming. Hopefully it will wrap things up.

Tokyo has two types of inhabitants, humans and ghouls. Ghouls look like humans, but can transform into monsters, have special blood-type weapons and other powers and have to feed on human flesh. All other food is repulsive to them. One day, Kaneki, a normal high school boy, has an accident and is given an organ transplant from a ghoul and becomes a half-human, half-ghoul hybrid. He learns that not all ghouls are horrible, man-eating monsters and some just want to live normal lives. He also learns that isn't easy for his kind.

This show had great character depth and animation and was pretty hectic with the violence and despair. But it was also censored to pieces and the ending was vague. The second season may clarify some things. Watch it...without your kids haha.

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.

I started watching the anime, and shortly after, a friend of mine told me that I should have read the manga instead. So I made it a point to read the manga after finishing the anime and here I am now.

The main problem seems to be the omission of certain scenes leading to a nonsense season 3.

The first season is great; it is similar to the manga, although it seems like a lot of important information has been lost, if you animate such a popular manga I don't get why you don't do it properly and maybe give it a couple more episodes and more time to refine it.

Personally, I really enjoyed the second season; it lacked structure, but I preferred the anime to the manga, at least in the beginning. It made more sense to me, and I could relate more to the decisions made following what occurred to Kaneki at the end of Season 1, then again they didn't get anywhere with the deviation and just returned to the manga storyline. The issue is the ending; The fact that they chose to deviate from the manga to then return to it as if nothing changed was so infuriating. They avoided many critical storyline elements at the end of the season in order to continue the story in the third season, assuming that everyone is aware of those elements. As I watched it I still hadn't read the manga and I remember being extremely confused.

It's all downhill from there. To be honest, I didn't like Re manga (as much as Tokyo ghoul) , but the anime is unwatchable. It's as if they've given up making sense of the plot.

Finally the fourth season was similar to the manga.

Overall, I'm not sure if I would recommend watching it; it's up to you, I guess. Think about an awesome plot but poorly executed. The manga would provide you with greater enjoyment, but for me there are some parts of the anime that I prefer. If you don't want to read the manga but you really want to watch it then don't expect too much after the first season.

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.

There being so much hype around this anime, I decided to give it a shot. I've watched a lot of anime so I consider myself ft enough to judge whether an anime is worth watching or not. Tokyo Ghoul has an interesting premise but as I started watching it I started to notice a lot of senseless things and poor detailing that render this show unwatchable. Well not fully, as it starts out good, gets pretty messy in been and ends poorly. I can't understand why did they rush it so much. The ending is so poor that you won't feel a thing. No connection with the characters or the story whatsoever. The writers did not care about to end it, it feels like as a result you don't really care about what is happening. Only a couple of episodes in the start, maybe up to episode 4 or 5 are worth watching. The middle episodes are okay too but kinda illogical. The end is horrible.

This show has a nice dark feel to it and I loved watching it at night, in the dark before sleeping. The animation is not bad, but nothing ground breaking. The Tokyo scenery has been animated well. The voice acting is fine, but Kaneki's character is kinda annoying. Especially when he's crying.
