Tokyo Ghoul

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.

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.

This is a story about a boy who is changed into something he fears. He then has to learn how to live on the border between what he is used to and what he fears.

The show is tremendously violent and gory, but not extraordinarily so in it's genre. It kind of falls into the Supersayan-problem of ever more powerful enemies that can only be defeated by the main character after becoming stronger, but it varies enough (more so in the second season than the first). Despite the characters feeling all over the place in the first few episodes, there is a point to that and after two seasons I actually quite like how the character arcs turned out.

What makes this story for me is it's underlying themes. It's about the big subjects of life and death and love and hate, but it does so in a different way than I am used to. The show seems to ask by showing murder after murder, battle after battle, slaughter after slaughter: isn't this pointless? Every time it sets a character up to be violently taken apart it makes a point to say that that character had value and now he or she is no more. It makes the point of the show, despite it's extreme violence one of pacifism.

It is a tremendously depressing watch, but definitely something I haven't seen before and something I don't know if I should recommend. Watch this if: a. you like violent anime and just want to see the pictures, because it is well made and not focus on the plot or b. you like feeling like crap after binging on short episode after short episode.

PS I don't like the title songs, but I am sure many people disagree.

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

There being so much hype around this anime, I decided to give it a shot. I've watched a lot of anime so I consider myself ft enough to judge whether an anime is worth watching or not. Tokyo Ghoul has an interesting premise but as I started watching it I started to notice a lot of senseless things and poor detailing that render this show unwatchable. Well not fully, as it starts out good, gets pretty messy in been and ends poorly. I can't understand why did they rush it so much. The ending is so poor that you won't feel a thing. No connection with the characters or the story whatsoever. The writers did not care about to end it, it feels like as a result you don't really care about what is happening. Only a couple of episodes in the start, maybe up to episode 4 or 5 are worth watching. The middle episodes are okay too but kinda illogical. The end is horrible.

This show has a nice dark feel to it and I loved watching it at night, in the dark before sleeping. The animation is not bad, but nothing ground breaking. The Tokyo scenery has been animated well. The voice acting is fine, but Kaneki's character is kinda annoying. Especially when he's crying.
