| In this episode interesting seconds was the end :/ |
| Didn't really feel any built up in suspense in this episode...the fighting scenes seem inadequate and it bores me. Hopefully the next episode would be much better to make up for this one. |
| kinda boring ep and those low budget animation. naki saves the episode, too abd there is no "four gem lions". if they didn't show centipede at the end i would drop it. glad they didn't ruin the manga tho Toaki90 said: When I first watch this anime I thought he's just a simple character who will try to protect his new home/society from discrimination by human. Him being ghoul/human will become the bridge to this process. Turns out it just another generic battle shounen anyways kaneki's group is more enjoyable to read than this emo kaneki on the anime. |

| If anything in this life is certain, if history has taught us anything, it is that you can kill anyone |
| Centpede OMG |
| God i love the ED song so much... |

| Wow...that episode...was TERRIBLE just a bunch of fighting and not much else this episode |
| Suzuya! Hahaha! He certainly is a good comedian at some point. He was a good one to watch. I hope I get to see where he kills the twins. That big guy who was fighting Kaneki though. It was implied that he was Mr. Kamishiro. He's Rize's dad alright. The huge tentacles proves it. Now Kaneki. He gets an awesomely weird power, rather an improvement in his power. I need to see what happens next. I do hope he gets to use it next episode. |

We find out: - CCG planning a huge war against aogiri - More about Amon's past - Aogiri trying to increase their strength by adding ghouls from cochlea to their ranks - The twin ghouls were artificially created like Kaneki and they seem to know about suzuya. - Arata, Touka and Ayato's father, was being used as a quinque. - Kaneki's motive and intention which is to get stronger by cannibalizing ghouls in order to protect the people in anteiku. - Kaneki being a kakuja. The animation was bad but that doesn't mean there was nothing important happening in the episode. |
| wtf was that shit |
| I hardly bitch about animation quality, but my god it was distracting in this episode. |

It wasn't just the bad animation. |

| Wow wtf happened, did they run out of budget already? Majority of the fight scenes looked slow and weird I know Kaneki was suppose to lose and all, but the crappy fight made it look like he's still bitch Kaneki Kakuja hype |
 |
| Hmm some fighting scenes felt really stiff... Fourth episode but i am not really feeling anything yet. Okay episode. |
| centipede chan is awesome! now its her time to shine lol |

This is a real failure to adapt huh |

This is a real failure to adapt huh the anime is going a different route from the manga so this doesn't really make sense anyway. the second season is just bad so far. |

| Animation is so awful. Well done Pierot. I rate 8/8 Very bad episode, so underwhelming. |
| Between the adult world and the world of kids, there, Holyland exists. |
| Horrible episode, like SERIOUSLY bad. Forget the bad Animation, the episode was rushed as fuck. Seriously, horrible. :/ |

| this was very good... for a powerpoint presentation |
| I actually expected second season to be better considering Ishida has larger role in developing anime, but judging by your reactions it is just as bad as previous one. Leave it to Pierrot to fuck up things. |

He's the author not the animation director lol. |

| Wow! They really exhausted their budget with this fighting scenes. All 10 pounds of it. |
| 5/5. |

I just hoped that since he had larger part now, anime would be different. He is still awesome with manga. He can't undo fuckups Pierrot created in anime. I blame Pierrot for everything. |

Zer01 said: Jesus, why are the fights so boring? This adaption has been pretty disappointing so far Horrible animation, bad directing. You can literally take the exact same episode with the exact same events and it can be 10 times better if it was done right. Other than the horrible animation the fights had the directing of the scenes just fails to create any atmosphere. Hell a smart director would have avoided showing much of those awkward fighting scenes in that way if he knew their was no budget for them so he can avoid ruining the atmosphere. |
| The animation was terrible. My god... The ep wasn't that great imo. They didn't show too much of Kaneki's craziness and badassery and had is ass kicked to him too early. They should have had that later, and presented more of what he's actually capable of in different fights along with his ferocity and personality. He's supposed to be wiping the floor with his enemies. I understand that his opponent was Shachi, but they should have saved him for later. |

Yeah it could've been better but it was to be expected since this was outsourced to Korean animators. I honestly think the pacing was worse than the animation quality. None of the important scenes you mentioned packed any punch due to the fact that they all somehow led to yet another fight (which was poorly animated, so it ended up being underwhelming). So yeah, I guess it would have looked better with japanese animators, but that's not my main concern with how this episode played out. |
| Anyone else like how Kaneki barely got shown for 3 episodes, only snips of him being silent and badass, all that build up of him now on a completely different level... ...only to get absolutely destroyed in his very first fight by a ghoul that had three seconds of screentime? |

I completely agree. I feel as if it's a disgrace to Kaneki. They're not showing enough of his character or personality. Really annoying... |

| rofl centipede Kaneki finally fighting but he hasn't gone all out yet Damn that ending cant wait to see Kaneki go supersayin next episode i feel like they put all the action in this episode because there has just been build up so far There was barely any talking in that episode |
 |
| So CCG guards confirmed for Storm Troopers? All those shots that hit absolutely nothing.... |
| Pretty ok episode as usual. Who exactly is that man Kaneki was fighting anyway? plot, you're disappointing in telling me. How many more (excuse my language) retarded characters need to appear in this show, honestly? The purple-haired weird-hat is enough for me xD |
        Insanity lives deep within ourselves |
| The animation wasn't good at all in this episode. Hopefully next week will make up for it. |
