Tokyo Ghoul

I started watching the anime, and shortly after, a friend of mine told me that I should have read the manga instead. So I made it a point to read the manga after finishing the anime and here I am now.

The main problem seems to be the omission of certain scenes leading to a nonsense season 3.

The first season is great; it is similar to the manga, although it seems like a lot of important information has been lost, if you animate such a popular manga I don't get why you don't do it properly and maybe give it a couple more episodes and more time to refine it.

Personally, I really enjoyed the second season; it lacked structure, but I preferred the anime to the manga, at least in the beginning. It made more sense to me, and I could relate more to the decisions made following what occurred to Kaneki at the end of Season 1, then again they didn't get anywhere with the deviation and just returned to the manga storyline. The issue is the ending; The fact that they chose to deviate from the manga to then return to it as if nothing changed was so infuriating. They avoided many critical storyline elements at the end of the season in order to continue the story in the third season, assuming that everyone is aware of those elements. As I watched it I still hadn't read the manga and I remember being extremely confused.

It's all downhill from there. To be honest, I didn't like Re manga (as much as Tokyo ghoul) , but the anime is unwatchable. It's as if they've given up making sense of the plot.

Finally the fourth season was similar to the manga.

Overall, I'm not sure if I would recommend watching it; it's up to you, I guess. Think about an awesome plot but poorly executed. The manga would provide you with greater enjoyment, but for me there are some parts of the anime that I prefer. If you don't want to read the manga but you really want to watch it then don't expect too much after the first season.

The anime is about a boy named Ken Kaneki who was an ordinary boy before encountering with a ghoul who he was on a date. Ken Kaneki was saved but he is badly injured. In order to save him, her (ghoul) organs are transplant into his body which in fact resulted him to be an half ghoul. From ordinary life to becoming a ghoul who only eats human flesh,will he able to survive??

It was incredible from starting to end. I'm happy it has some more seasons so I don't have to say good bye to this now.

First season has the one of the best writing i have ever seen. After that they diverged from tha manga and.. lets just say Tokyo ghoul has only one season

Some stories are just too much fun to see. Tokyo ghoul has a thriller type awesome story. Art style is really great too. Don't look at those who gave it a bad review. Season 1 was great.

OK, so it's not often an anime this dark comes around, and so I just had to check it out. I haven't read the manga (if there is one), so I'm not sure if this follows closely or not. And without dropping any spoilers, it would appear a second season may be coming. Hopefully it will wrap things up.

Tokyo has two types of inhabitants, humans and ghouls. Ghouls look like humans, but can transform into monsters, have special blood-type weapons and other powers and have to feed on human flesh. All other food is repulsive to them. One day, Kaneki, a normal high school boy, has an accident and is given an organ transplant from a ghoul and becomes a half-human, half-ghoul hybrid. He learns that not all ghouls are horrible, man-eating monsters and some just want to live normal lives. He also learns that isn't easy for his kind.

This show had great character depth and animation and was pretty hectic with the violence and despair. But it was also censored to pieces and the ending was vague. The second season may clarify some things. Watch it...without your kids haha.
