Tokyo Ghoul's second season so far has consisted of turning Kaneki into a pussy, and removing fan favorite and important manga scenes while keeping the boring shit no one cares about.

103 wasn't even important for the plot progression if that's what you're talking about.

Jonesy974 said:
Kaneki - human turned ghoul who absolutely abhors causing any harm to humans....joins aogiri. goes on mission where a bunch of CCG cops get killed. k...

Yeah that's the point because he changed although his real motives are still not shown yet.

At least they kept the Hidei and Touka scene. Although it's importance was super minimal. Not nearly as good or important as the Kaneki and Minami trip to the book signing which was completely changed.

Who the hell is Minami?

uhh... Hide/Touka scene is one of the most important scene in TG. It revealed one of the biggest part of Kaneki's character that actually made people go back and re read TG and found out how genius is the mangaka how the mangaka really did an excellent job in building his character.

So just curious - Why is everyone still comparing this to the manga when we already know that this season is an original story and not adapted from the manga?


The plot is still the same but only in different situation. When they mentioned anime original, I totally thought that it would go a whole different story from the manga. But still good enough for me to keep watching, I guess. Nonetheless seeing those scenes adapted from the manga, I couldnt help but to think, they could've adapted the manga if the final destination ends up the same as manga.

Best episode so far. Finally, something (other than walking, running, dying and sighing) is happening.

Animation is pretty nice. Ending fanart is gorgeous. Touka showed some balls (she was too emo lately), Hinami is cute as always, Nishiki is lovely and Tsukiyama... is Tsukiyama. Happy to see Naki, he's annoying bastard, but still - I missed him ;D

I love how Sen was done, although they made it too much obvious who she really is.


So much hints that Kaneki's acting, too...

After that talking, I feel like I'm starting to know who that masked girl with the bandages is.

Touka is still worried about Kaneki. I hope she moves on soon.
Tsukiyama going on about his obsessiveness on Kaneki.
Kaneki and Ayato infiltrating that facility. Looks like they'll be some secrecy soon to be revealed.

Really enjoyed this episode.The suspense is building up plus we get to see a bit of how Hide and Touka feels about this.The introduction of Takatsuki Sen is pretty interesting too wonder how she will contribute to the story.

The might as well have kept following the manga, it's pretty much the same thing but better.

Takatsuki had brown hair last time and now its green :O guess it was the lighting in the room.

Hope Shachi appears next episode :(

Easily the best episode so far for me I loved having more focus on Kaneki.

The Touka and Hide seen was pretty cool and I'm sure someone else has mentioned this but that foreshadowing with the chin thing and the being a good actor sounds like Kaneki is trying to pull off something big.

Hinami was so cute at the beginning getting an autograph for her one-chan.

I feel like the green haired girl is the owl even if she had brown hair last ep.

Not gonna lie I want some of thnat spicy Kaneki xDD

And what the faq man, that fight at beginning is joke!!!!

Its unwatchable, but I gave it rating 1 only cuz that was lowest number on scale. Total crap, if it doesn't became fun in next episode Ill quit.

Such a shame...

I agree with this comment the series kind of episodic for a while now :/.

Tokyo Ghoul keeps adding more on it's plate each episode, which does make things interesting. I just hope that it remember's that it has to actually offer some answers and end on a conclusive note this time.

They made Naki even more of a drama queen than the manga. I was laughing so much the entire time. On a side note, I always imagined his hair to be white, not blond

Tsukiyama was amazing as usual. I think I've ended up looking forward to his parts the most(besides kanekis)

I like it when they focus on Kaneki part but when they went to the cafe scene,it feel boring to me. More Kaneki and Aogiri, less Anteiku please.

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

While not being the best episode, it is certainly very enjoyable. A lot of haters dislike
it for it's popularity and spill crap on every discussion post without justification.

It's simple, if you don't like it, stop watching it. No one wants to hear some half assed crap being posted everywhere when it is clearly a good anime. The numbers don't lie.

Not sure the episode properly elaborated on the purpose of the "missing person" posters for Kaneki, but I really like the direction this is going otherwise. Gourmet's sudden appearance was gold.

And damn, I really felt the feels for Naki, feels I did not feel in the manga, so props for that for sure. ;_; KANEKI IS A NICE GUY.

This is moving very fast now. This season will definitely end where the manga of Tokyo Ghoul ended. However, whether it will have the same ending or an anime-original ending is something that's hard to predict, especially if they have no plans to adapt Re (which is what I'm hoping for since I dislike Studio Pierrot).

I'm falling in love with the ED! <3
Oh man, what a nice buildup episode. Wait, what if they're all buildup episodes that buildup to nothing? (O_O)

I liked how they kept some scenes from the manga.
That includes Hinami meeting Sen Takatsuki, Hide talking to Touka, and Suzuya getting his quinque, Juzo's Jason.
That also includes Hide investigating and Banjou and Tsukiyama looking for answers.

Lol, so weird to see Kaneki and Ayato working together to free Naki, but they are so badass.
Lol, Kaneki wrote down Yamori for Naki, when he in fact killed Jason. Or at least, ate him almost to death.

I like how it transitioned from Hide to Touka to Kaneki. Interesting how Kaneki was a star of a play before.
I expect a conversion coming up soon.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

Definitely better than the first 2 episode, I hope it keeps getting better from here. Suzuya’s weapon is so cool. I wonder what that annoying Yamori follower would do when he finds out that Kaneki is the one who defeated Yamori? Hide and Kaneki’s designs this time around are way better than season 1.

Lots of things happened in this episode, so...

Juuzou gets his new quinque, it really fits him.

Takatsuki Sen is introduced! Didn't imagined her hair color to be like that but she's still gorgeous...

Kaneki still has that kind nature of his, i see.

Kuro and Shiro are revealed to be one-eyed ghouls too!

That Tsukiyama!! He's so...Tsukiyama, i can't help but smile when i see him.

The best episode by far, tons of build up and content. This Root A just keeps surpassing itself, good work Ishida-Sensei.

5/5. I love that we get different ending arts each episode.


They're making it too obvious!

Something that seemed really interesting is when hide tells touka about how ken holds his chin when he is lying i predict that touka will meet whit ken again and she will ask her about why he joined aogiri tree and he will hold his chin and lie about it and the real reason would be because he is probably trying to take them down or figure something out idk just a prediction XD

Slow episode, with the added melancholy mixed in to build things up for the coming ride.

Hide is brave as heck to be snooping around the Doves by himself. He's a true bro. Just hope he doesn't dig too deep before someone decides to off him.

They just made it way too obvious about Eto's identities. Her interest in Kaneki is spiking. Wonder if Hinami will be dragged along after that, I expect that Eto already knows that she ain't human.

Oh and I just can't get enough of Suzuya. He has Mado Sr.'s fearlessness, but with an added ten shades of crazy. I really can't wait to watch him butcher ghouls again.
