the adaptation misses a good amount of plot points, and if you watched RE it’s almost a different story. i highly recommend the manga, it’s one of my top 5, while the anime is only in my top 30

So guys tell me since i haven't read the manga but I can see that TOKYO GHOUL manga has a rating of like 8.5 and anime is like 6

So why? Was there a difference between the ANIME and the MANGA wasn't the adaptation FAITHFUL?
Pls tell me...should I read the manga even though completed the series long ago?

Since this was my first ANIME...pls guys help me out was the ADAPTATION not faithful?

Ok so. The studio requested 12 episodes per season. That’s fine for season 1 since there weren’t many chapters to cover. Some stuff has been cut but it kinda makes up for it with chapter rearrangement and some small improvements. Ishida (the mangaka of Tokyo Ghoul) requested an anime original continuation so season 2 is different and the ending is missing a very important fight (they couldn’t fit it within 12 episodes). Re part 1 is faithful to the manga but it’s rushed and combined with the missing context from the shit s2 skipped, it makes for an annoying experience. Re part 2 just cuts a fuck ton of stuff (I’m currently reading the volumes that part 2 is supposedly covering and holy fuck they destroyed the anime). Overall Tokyo Ghoul was fucked up by horrible choices from both the studio and its creator. We’re all praying for that remake

Don’t compare Tokyo Ghoul to demon slayer (btw Tokyo Ghoul was, is and will be more popular than ds). I honestly don’t know what to think about Pierrot as a studio. They’ve made some of the best shounen but they also fucked up the adaptation of Tokyo Ghoul. And like I don’t hate the anime. It’s the reason I got into anime. But reading the manga and having rewatched the anime I can’t help but to feel disappointed. You can see that the director really wanted to create something good (the director of the first two seasons. The one who directed re didn’t give a shit about what he was making) but Pierrot just had to hold him back by limiting the seasons to 12 episodes. I pray they don’t fuck up the continuation of bleach

The anime butchers the manga, so much is left out. Root A just doesn’t follow the manga. Not only that but they’re trying to cover 143 chapter n like 24 episodes for Tokyo ghoul, and then trying to cover 179 chapters n 24 episodes for Tokyo ghoul re. That’s way too much material to properly adapt n 24 episodes. The first season is pretty solid, although there were a few slight changes from the manga, though they weren’t a huge deal. But besides the 1st season, the rest of it is not anywhere close to as good as the manga

The adaptation was bas as they skipped many chapters in season 1 and took a different route than the manga in season 2. So i suggest reading the manga. I'm currently reading the manga too and I can easily say they it's way better than the anime adaptation.

Tokyo Ghoul was one of my first Anime’s and i loved the story and characters sm but i was left soo confused when I finished that damn show. After some research I realised that the second season ain’t even part of the Manga!
I’m currently reading the Manga now which I’m a quarter of the way through :re, it’s absolutely amazing! I’ve soon realised after just a few chapters how the adaptation completely ruined everything for this show. Sui Ishida deserved so much better and it honestly needs a remake.
So please read it, you won’t regret it lol!

I honestly find that with older anime (especially a lot of anime that pre-dates Demon Slayer, which, imo, is when anime started popping off for real in North America) they were rushed and missed a lot of points that the manga would have. I think that now that anime has more hype, it brings in more funding through merchandising so they are able to do more.

I think that if the anime were to do a reboot with MAPPA it would be 10x better.

Season 1 is pretty faithful with some minor changes. Root A is not faithful what’s so ever and in my opinion ruined the show for me. Root A goes against Kaneki’s ideology which was joining aogiri. Also root a covers a pretty important plot line of kaneki trying to find the origin of rize which i’m pretty sure was never filled. re acts faithful to manga but is rushed to hell and would make no sense to non manga readers as it pretends they never did root a plus it misses out on a lot of context. Also is the anime i don’t think they ever explained the different kagunes. they mentioned them sometimes in fights but i don’t think they ever fully explained them. think this was because of root a, the explanation happened between suzuya and shinohara in the manga which would of happened in season 2 but was replaced with root a. my recommendation is to read the manga then watch the anime. i got a lot more enjoyment and understood a lot more.

I was just wondering what you meant by Tokyo ghoul being more popular than DS? When more people has seen DS, and DS has the higher overall score. (This is not my opinion but just data from my anime list). I also fully understand if you just assumed that. But if you have some other reason for saying that, I would love to hear it.

first of all I’m not referring just to the anime but to the manga as well. And s1 beats demon slayer in popularity and manga beats demon slayer in both score and popularity. I’m going based on mal numbers here. Check for yourself

Both in season 1 and Tokyo Ghoul re misses alot of plot points from manga, so anime adaptation is pretty bad compared to manga.
Art in manga is just top tier.
Also manga has s*x scene so it's no brainer ro choose manga.

Its so rushed, like theirs a massive arc that they pretty much gloss over and it’s literally the biggest turning point in the main character.
It also cuts out some context to certain events and character motivations

I have so far watched the anime and have not touched on the manga but my avid friend who is a dir hard fan of the manga said the anime was infamous for its adaptation. He up to this day is still encouraging me to read it, he said it missed a lot of plots and were rushed... so yes your question might be true given the responses are the same to what my friend told me.

The first season was pretty good till the end when they forget to introduce half of the major cast that ruins the og story for season 2 but in my opinion season 2 was enjoyable still would have preferred that og story but whatever but down there RE which is almost completely unwatchable beside the soundtrack but everything else is awful

S1 is fine even tho they skipped alot, S1 is best and S2 is not even canon, it creates new story and RE(anime) assumes u already have read the manga till S2 and continues from there and still skips alot.

Tokyo ghoul manga is my fav manga and i think it deserves a good adaptation just like Berserk does.

I highly recommend watching S1 and then read manga from start (Ch1).

Best way to experience.

Honestly Tokyo ghoul manga is one of my favorites but they completely missed the mark with the anime. Season one follows pretty well, but once it gets to season two they don’t follow the manga and go basically in the opposite direction the main character takes in the manga, and with season two failing they decide to pick it up and follow the manga with season three, for a little while and it doesn’t make sense.

The adaption was shit because it left too many plot holes and it cuts too many plot point. Like in Tokyo Ghoul √A they didn’t show juzo’s fight with Jason it only showed juzo taking Jason’s body in the body bag.

√A also “killed hide.” But in the manga kaneki only ate part of hide’s face yet in the anime they killed hide only for him to be alive in Re.

√A also cut out kaneki’s first fight with arima. I’m extremely pissed to this day about this one because at the end of √A it showed kaneki and arima standing face to face but it didn’t show arima defeating kaneki which gave kaneki amnesia which turned him into haise sasaki. And then after that fight was cut many people were left in confusion with pretty much no explanation when the Tokyo Ghoul Re anime started.

A lot of important and major things were cut and not included in the anime. 1st season was still okay, but after that it steadily goes downhill so far as so that anime completely strays away from the source material

Ok so. The studio requested 12 episodes per season. That’s fine for season 1 since there weren’t many chapters to cover. Some stuff has been cut but it kinda makes up for it with chapter rearrangement and some small improvements. Ishida (the mangaka of Tokyo Ghoul) requested an anime original continuation so season 2 is different and the ending is missing a very important fight (they couldn’t fit it within 12 episodes). Re part 1 is faithful to the manga but it’s rushed and combined with the missing context from the shit s2 skipped, it makes for an annoying experience. Re part 2 just cuts a fuck ton of stuff (I’m currently reading the volumes that part 2 is supposedly covering and holy fuck they destroyed the anime).
