This is what pisses me off with Tokyo Ghoul. Kaneki is not interesting, he is an emo kid and this was the worst choice for a hero. I'm not even surprised when you tell me he didn't appear for 5 chapters. For the second part, no. But I know most of the things aren't going to be answered at the end of season 2 once again, so why.

Kaneki uninteresting? I wonder how did you even enjoy AoT where Eren is such an annoying mc.

maybe in this route, Kaneki kun is not even our main concern anymore. we have a buncha other things to worry about.

Kaneki is still the main concern here but he's not the only one who has an important role here. As you can see this isn't Kiseijuu where only shinichi and the parasytes get most of the screen time because here you'll get to see both sides of the story, Human and Ghouls. That's one of the things the first season failed to portray properly.

Nothing much happened but wow things are progressed very well enough and not really rushed.
I like the Insert song before the ED and dat Eto-chan scene where she is removing her bandage is just wow. She has sexy lips <3 <3 <3

Eren does things. Eren goes berserk and beats people. What did Kaneki do in S1 beside drinking coffee, trying to tell himself he's not a ghoul and rebelling at the very very last second? I didn't read the manga and I probably won't so I'm expecting a lot for this second season, Kaneki-wise.

Looking interesting so far. Slow ep and the cutting towards the end was strange. Can't say I liked that part. I'm still looking forward to seeing how they're interpreting the manga.

Well that was surprisingly a very good episode...but not enough Kaneki.

Still loving how they're weaving in the old content with the new content.
Specially the Akira and Amon scenes, glad we got to see those.

The OST is just glorious and the ED art!

Eren does things. Eren goes berserk and beats people.

Did Eren do that right in the first two episodes?

-Saved Hide from getting killed in episode 2
-Saved Nishio from getting cannibalized by a bunch of ghouls in episode 4
-Helped Nisho to save his girlfriend in episode 5
-Defeated Amon and stopped him from reaching Touka in episode 8
-Defeated Jason in the last episode.

What did Eren do besides screaming and shouting during the first half of SnK?

I mean even in the manga that's all Eren does, just screams and has nothing to back it up. So yeah comparing his character to Kaneki is pretty hilarious, considering that Eren's character is one dimensional.

Anyways we should get back on topic.

Akira was being sarcastic and still mocked him in the end so no she wasn't polite.

And since when did showing a lower part of someone's face became a fanservice ?


1. Sarcasm is a waste of time. I.e. character inconsistencies. Boring.

2. The world must have changed a lot since I went to sleep last night. Girls stripping isn't fanservice anymore apparently.

It's just insinuated that she removed her binding, we don't actually get to see any part of her, except her face after she does. How is that fan service?

Unless you're suggesting people actually get excited over a few bandages being dropped to the floor...

Really liked the last few minutes. The whole Anteiku together happy, while Kaneki is going on missions

Touka's friend ships her with Kaneki xD


Er.... what? Touka's friend was obviously shipping Touka with Nishiki. Nishiki's the one Ghoul who managed to get into Kamii U, and Touka was asking him to help tutor her to get in. Plus, Kaneki was attending College, not Uni, at the point where he met her.

No actually Kaneki attended Kamii University, which is one of the reasons why she wants to attend the University even though it's hard to get in. Also if you remember from season 1 Yoriko saw Touka and Kaneki together in Touka's home. That's why Yoriko ships Touka and Kaneki.

Okay I gotta admit that I'm feeling kind of uneasy because I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN

Kaneki Ken-kun being with Aogiri makes me uneasy. Not seeing Tsukiyama makes me sad. Also I need to see more of Kaneki Ken-kun being a badass, yet all we see is him walking around and staring into nothingness. I'm angry.

I'm excited but I'm also anxious. Usually at this point I go reread the manga but hah that's not really gonna help me.

Ew please dont compare eren to kaneki...... Kaneki went through more shit than eren. But eren is useless and always getting captured kaneki starts out a pussy then becomes a badass. I like AOT but those character are far from deep.

Since the anime version of tokyo ghoul didn't follow the original storyline, you should start reading the original sequel of the story http://goo.gl/A5OExY

And why would you tell people to skip TG? The fact that the anime isn't following the manga is even more reason to go and read the original story, not skip ahead to :re.

You know it's pretty funny how people were complaining how rushed and fast paced season 1 was. Now I see people complaining how slow Season 2 is, I guess no one can win can they.

I fucking lold. I swear I remember manga readers like him complaining about the first season being fast paced and now they're complaining about the pacing being slow.

Bunch of hypocrites.

I loved season 1 and I'm also really enjoying season 2, specially for the art that it's more appealing to me than season 1, but so far I think they're putting to much on the endings to make you crawl the next episode (so you can go around saying how you can't wait to watch it) and being slightly weak on the actual content of the episode. They could give us a little more, in my opinion.
