Talk about madness haha. Nice epusode abd what was that High Class ghouls? This guy is crazy now Kaneki not only has to escape from that mad gramps but from the psycho too haha. I guess the Rize inside will take care of this also Rize looked like...too arrogant don't you think?
A Story will always come to it's end. The thing is, will you move on after it's over?

Well, Shuu wasn't that surprising. In all honesty, I thought by how he is a Gourmet he tweaks the human food he obtains. I wasn't expecting him to be a cannibalistic ring leader. Honestly, his actions aren't funny in my opinion, but more interesting. Also, it feels weird listening to him because of the VA. I can't help but think its Takuto, from Star Driver, or Yogi, from Karneval, who is smelling that hanky.

Also, it is nice to learn about the one-eye ghoul thing. Its really interesting. Also, I know that everyone has been complaining about this arc thing, and its gotten my curious. How far are the English translations for this anime's manga? Or light-novel is it doesn't have a manga.

hmm, how unfortunate. they even skipped the dove arc. i wonder how they'll pull through with this.


Is that Dove arc you are talking about so good or important? I don't read the manga but I see many people complain about not including it.

As someone with no knowledge of the manga adaptation, this episode felt quite a bit rushed.

That arc will be adapted later, but with a lot of differences and different context! That is guaranteed due to the PV!

It has a manga in Weekly Young Jump, a seinen manga of Jump. The translation is already at chapter 90.

That was.. slightly disappointing...

I feel like a lot of character interactions are missing... there wasnt very much buildup to the final trap scene. This is kinda unfortunate... frm the comments, Kaneki wasnt even supposed to be as naive as he seems to be in the anime, which sucks... I really wished they didn't rush things.... As a non-manga reader, even i can tell several scenes seem to be missing... the fact that it took so little time for Kaneki to fall in to trap makes me see Kaneki in a bad light... had they taken their time, I would've understood why Kaneki might've fallen under the charm of the gourmet. But in the anime, it took a grand total of 2 meetings -_-... jeez...

Animation quality kinda dropped in this episode. Was not impressed by the Taro chasing Kaneki part... and the censoring when Gourmet tore Taro apart was just... awfull.... like, really horrible...

Damn... and the story seemed so interesting. Judging from the comments, a lot of things about ghouls could've been explained and explored in this arc. About how they're curious about human tastes, how they try to understand how different ingredients and seasoning tastes. How desperate some of them are to taste what humans taste... but, since they rushed it, I didn't really understand what was going on until I came onto the forums...

It's really too bad... I hope later episodes dont suffer frm this rushed pacing. I also hope they'll use the scenes they cut out in the next episode? But honestly, some damage was already done when they let Kaneki fall into the trap so fast in this episode, imo
Yeah man, some things that the anime didn't show:
And other few things that I don't recall now.

This anime dropped from 9 to 5 score (imo) since I started watching it. It's way too fast! This way there wont be any character development at all :/

Though the manga is pretty good.

Tsukiyama is total creep. Kaneki should of been more on his guard from the start. At least he made it out alive but Touka even warned him to be weary. Poor Touka cant eat any human food was sad.

As a manga reader this adaption is turning out to be a mess. This series has drop from a 8 to a 7 imo. I'm still enjoying it, but they're skipping way too much even if they're re arranging scenes, this adaption will still be rushed, it's also looking like this series will be 12-13 episode.

After marathoning the manga (it's fucking amazing) I decided to try the anime out again despite saying I'd wait for the uncensored version. All I have to say is: Terrible and convoluted shitstain of an adaptation. Dropped.

The only good thing about this adaptation is the OST. That's it.

Am I the only that has a bad taste in his mouth about one Single detail that was left off?
Like the Mother ghoul Mistaking her Human baby in her Womb and her Body would eat it Mistaking it for Food/Nutrients.
Also where's the Other people who were supposed to be eaten alongside with Kaneki?
That was intense when those same people who Kaneki tried to protect Thrown him to the Butcherer to Save themselves.That was interesting because we got to see how Disgusting sides of human.
Also I'm not particularly amused with "Switching" around Arcs.I would have enjoyed The other Ghoul viewers Yelling"Is that Eye patch,The one who Fought and Defeated the dove?!" but that's just me.
Don't give me Sh- about Arranging events to suit the pacing,How is that different because they're Still gonna show everything but in a Different order of events?


They'd better not Butcher Chapter 60-80 Because that's the Most important Character development for Kaneki and I hope they don't pull Some Shennannigans and Mess with the order and ruin it.

Just started watching Tokyo Ghoul and am doing weekly video reviews for each episode. Please check them out if you have time :)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qI7nLSxVo1E&feature=youtu.be

I've been noticing lots of manga fans pointing things skipped over in the anime. Lots of those details are actually quite interesting and I'm sure they would have helped the anime. At the same time from an anime only perspective I've been enjoying it quite a bit and all seems to pretty much make sense so far.....(beyond them just randomly being at the mansion and Kenkei...showering?)

Damn, the Gourmet was really hilarious somehow. The way he tried to be subtle but was always going crazy.

Ken, you fell for such an easy trap... Also, WHY DON'T YOU USE YOUR DAMN KAGUNE?!

The trio with Uta, Itori and Yomo is cool. I would like to see more of them. Also, is it me or Itori somehow implied that she was one-eyed..?

So I'm not going to get to see Uta's reaction walking in on Touka and Kaneki after they finished training...sigh.

Very awful episode, just painful to watch, I was trying to treat this as a stand alone series and was trying not to compare it to the manga all the time but damn, this is just too much.

Why is Kaneki so stupid in the anime?

Well at-least they got Tsukiyama's character right!

He was supposed to use his Kagune on this arc.But Stupid directors messed around with course of the events and Removed a Lot of interesting stuff like There were other people that Were being butchered along with Kaneki.
Also In the manga He didn't Willingly follow Gourmet like an idiot,He had a reason to follow him in the manga.He needed to find information so He purposely accepted the invitation.
The adaptation is being ruined and I recommend the manga right now Since There's a ton Of Interesting Stuff they removed in the Anime,Probably to avoid Censoring more Individual deaths? I don't know Avoid paying additional Voice actors?

Well, I didn't expect much from Studio Pierrot and these last episodes confirmed it. Production values are low, pacing is rushed as an adaption and as an anime, transition between scenes are awkward and badly done and the directing is bad. I'm disappointed because this had a lot of potential but it looks like it's going to be a slightly better Black Bullet clone. I recommend to read the manga if you're not one of those animeonly viewers.

You see, it could cut him because it was a special cup, a special cup with coffee in it. And as we all know, coffee has a very special effect on Ghouls. So if a cup has coffee in it, it can hurt a Ghoul even if he barely touches it. Another term to describe this phenomenon is called "bad writing".

I see, well ideally they touch on it at some point, I might just give the manga a read (just what has been animated so far) to compare and see if things flow a bit better... as all I got from this episode is tea cups can kill ghouls and the main character is more trusting of a stranger that is clearly trying super hard to get into his pants, then the people who have saved him multiple times and told him to stay away.

I read in here there was more interactions with those two cut, but just watching the anime I was rooting for the main character to die due to how stupid and gullible he is (this is what the third or 4th ghoul outside of the cafe (or people introduced to him by cafe people) he has interacted with and they have all ended horribly... he should be getting it by now.):/

No. But the cup itself is indeed made of
which the studio failed to tell us. If I say anymore of how this
is made, it will spoil it.
