And we open with seeing Hinami's mom die (Not really because they cut it out -_- )...The feels were too strong T.T I felt so bad for Hinami, the detective with the glasses and Touka

Touka vs Old Man Investigator was pretty cool but I was surprised to see that she got wrek'd...I thought that it wouldn't have been that one sided

The other investigator guy is pretty cool too (I think his name is Amon?)....I'm starting to really like and sympathize with him a lot tbh and Kaneki finally got his mask and I must say that it looks pretty badass

Next episode is going to be intense since everyone are looking for revenge now...Also I want to see this big Showdown in the 11th District too

Poor Hinami :-(

Loved the Touka x Mado fight. Touka's mask is so cute... wasn't expecting that. I haven't read the manga so I hope the anime explains why Mado is so fucked up. Also would like to hear a bit more about Amon's past.

Finally we get to see the mask. I hope Kaneki becomes a bit more badass after this episode. At this point he's almost more side character than MC.

I can't stand Touka btw.

This show could have been amazing but thanks to rushing and censoring that never happened. I was planning to read the manga after the anime is completed but now I'm gonna go ahead and start reading it this week.


Do yourself a favor and read from the beginning, you'll have to read material you've experienced in the anime but there was quite a bit cut out and even events you know from the anime will be much more fleshed out in the manga.

Good on Kaneki for being there with Touka, but what recklessness.

The story does a good job of not making either side a villain. Each side has valid reasons for disliking the other, it really does make me really wonder what role Kaneki would play in all of this.

That's what I thought too when I first saw it XD

Hm yeah never liked the moment when Touka took out the poor glasses guy. Amon's training scene was a little frustrating to watch because of how one-sided his view is, though not blaming him since many ghouls are kind of brutal. But when he was thinking about ghouls killing humans and then leaving children without parents, I just think of Hinami. It happens both ways :(

I'm not talking about Mado, dude. I'm talking about the average detective (or dove as they are called I believe?) and Amon. The same way I don't view Tsukiyama as a good guy in any sense.

fuck this shit, fuck that shit, fuck pierrot,

I felt slightly okay with fast pacing from earlier episode, but this time, it's just went supersonic speed,
I mean seriously ????
from the second half of this episode, I had no idea wtf is going on....
they just keep passing the sequences to the audience without even a trace of any explanation, *sigh*

now I just hope the manga got popular in Japan, so it will have a remake of something, it's just depressing when a good manga got butchered this far,
just like gantz and deadman wonderland....

I haven't read the manga so I wouldn't know much about anything but some parts in this episode needed more..uh explanations? I would assume Touka and Kaneki are going after Amon and Mado.. I mean wouldn't that contradict Kaneki's discussion with Touka about being reckless? He didn't agree with what she did but at the same time he says he should at least do something.. Mado and Amon are not to be messed with at their current levels.. Maybe I'm just over thinking this

I am liking Kaneki and Amon alot more though

Manga will explain Everything and Even learn new things Everything that was removed in the course of this anime.
Then you realize that was Bull**** of them to remove most of it. :C

He finally gets his mask, and then the episode ends.. Dang.

The logic of the enforcer dudes piss me off. Like "oh boo hoo he could have had kids and a wife!!" the lady you literally just helped murder had a daughter. Not to mention you killed her husband. The worst part is people exist like that in the real world and just ughhh this series really has a way of pissing me off.

I hope the enforcer dude dies. I haven't read the manga so who knows, maybe I'll have to start..

but I really hope there won't be season 2 considering how bullcrap season 1 is (up until now but maybe until the final episode too)

is it possible if an anime has different studio production for season 1 and 2? just curious.

Interesting characters all around, good music and a good fight scene almost every ep, best ongoing anime I've seen in 3 or so seasons, very glad for it, becoming a personal fav. Only 7 eps in and Mado, Touka already unforgettable for me.

That white-haired gyu has some nice Zabimaru.

Exactly what I told myself.

Only satisfaction from this episode: THE MASK. THE. MASK. Kaneki finally looks badass. Still a pussy, but a bit more badass. Now let's watch as Touka fights everyone while Kaneki stands behind like "No... Touka-chan..."

The only thing that keeps me watching this anime is, what will happen to Kaneki? The opening got me curious since the very first episode.

Also, can they not with the very useless moments like that guy gulping down his ramen...

It wasn't useless, though. It was showing Amon sympathizing with the other guy's situation. That, and his comments about the children and so on, go a long way to not paint him as a bad guy/villain. It also in turn shows the human side of the conflict.

Oh wow Mado is just a dick in the series, just want to exterminate all the Ghouls in an instant and killing the mother.

Damn Touka on a rampage mode of killing the Ghoul Investigators, but can't be on the same level on Mado.

Oh Shi* Kaneki is on a mask. Shi* just got real.

Hinami's mother's death scene was kind of underwhelming,but at least it's starting to heat up.

Amon is nice character and so is Touka,so far my favourite ones.

And Kaneki's mask is neat.

I knew Amon would somehow be given a good backstory in time. His appearance is too "nice" for him to be like Mado.

I see a mask,and a fuckin badass mask if i may say, too bad there's only 5 more episodes.

Kaneki didn't do anything, as expected, can't really blame him though.

Touka vs. Mado was okay-ish, the animation feels weird for me, anybody else has this problem?

The Soundtrack is great overall, but it's kinda misplaced sometimes.

Well this was meh,besides that Amon guy characterization, Nothin really caugh my attention. I'm definitely reading the manga though.

If the actually fix their pacing in Season 2.I can see them redeeming tokyo ghoul's Anime adaptation.

Fine that this can be viewed from 2 different sides and that some Ghouls are crazy and needs killing off. But don't go throwing around that it's wrong for them to kill parents when you do the same!!

Well, I think Amon and a lot of the Doves sort of see the Ghouls as those stereotypical "hmmm brains!" type of monsters and, to be honest, not many of the ghouls aside from Anteiku do much to dispel that notion. So, no, I don't think Amon even considers the hypocrisy of him and Mado killing Hinami's mother just like ghouls killed the parents of the children in the photograph.

Can't say anything else, because spoilers.

Another ghoul bites the dust, good.
As for Touka: she killed a defenceless guy and ran away with her tail between her legs when a decent opponent came around.... complete failure as a character this episode imo.

Hope she bites the dust too but that won't happen if I can believe the spoilers i've seen here. (No seriously, use spoiler tags correctly...)

Why support the ghouls ? Seems not much different from supporting murderers with a mental illness or something...but then again many ghouls fit that description too... xD

Hoping to see more character development for Amon, and for Kaneki to stay somewhat neutral but with that mask....not to sure about that anymore.

many things in one episode, but I liked how it was made this adaptation, Kaneki finally became a little more determined, and Touka showing that it can also be sentimental, I hope to have a good battle in the next episode, after all Kaneki now has his mask , that scene of him with the mask was very good ..

Watch episode 2 again.
As touka Said They didn't want to be born that way either.
You can't blame Ghouls either since They can only eat humans its a Harsh reality for them.
And you can't also blame the humans as they don't want to live in oppression and being treated as farm animals either.
Both of them has done atrocious things to the other.The humans aren't saints too you know.
That even among the CCG personnel are doubting their actions.Just like humans Not everyone is evil.
As a Manga reader I can't see any way for this Two species to co exist together.

So like everyone is doing.Read the manga because its Better than the anime a lot of ways and you will find yourself thinking whose in the wrong and who is in the right.

Are you serious ? You may want to give that another thought or 2...the logic behind that is a bit... worrying. But then again I shouldn't be searching logic in fantasy anime.... ftw am I doing xD

Either way, this show caught my attention so I will start reading the manga too.
I'm just kinda bothered about one thing: take the crazy investigators away and there's a lot of good people left. Take the 'evil' ghouls away and you have like... a handfull of ghouls left ? And no, Touka wouldn't be one of them.

Gonna quote someone from YT


"Its hilarious that I can spot some Missing sounds while watching this,Like when Touka was fighting Mado.I felt like there was supposed to be some Punching through the air sounds and the Studio just didn't bother and the OST isn't even in Synch they just dump it right in."
