Tokyo Ghoul

A beautifully written show with an unique plot line that questions about the methods of living ''survival of the fittest'' or ''Co-existence" of two species together .This show arouses questions about the right way of living through a war between the two species who claim to be the dominant race.With the amazing soundtracks and beauty of animation technology they have built an masterpiece. The story set's in Tokyo where the protagonist is attacked by a ghoul but somehow he survives due to organ transplantation and is now a Half Human Half Ghoul now. The story describes his struggle as he is neither a Ghoul nor a Human,While struggling he start's to understand the true nature of Humans and Ghouls. The story will rapidly expand in the sequel of the show in which A War will uncoil that will decide the absolute dominance of one of these species.

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.

I really enjoyed the first season of this series, but after that it went kinda downhill - I also watched second season and I didn't think it really lived up to the hype of the first season. The ending of second season got to me, and I actually thought it was quite okay anyways - but as soon as :re came out I was out the door. "What the heck is wrong with this" I thought to myself multiple before finally dropping it around the third episode of the latest season.

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.

Initially I thought the first half of season one was too slow paced and kind of boring because I just couldn't figure out the direction of the plot and the main point to the whole story. What happens to the main character just wasn't enough to drive the plot forward in my mind; the "now what? so what?" question kept nagging at me. But I was patient and kept watching and realized how wrong my initial impression was. I realized that the slow pacing and lack of a central purpose/goal of the early episodes actually works to improve character development so that the finale hits us that much harder. From the midpoint on Tokyo Ghoul turns into an absolute masterpiece; I began to see depth to the whole story and the shows profound take on ethics and psychology.

This series has potential to become one of the best anime's in recent memory if it gets a few more seasons. In fact, I think that the plot is thick enough here to warrant many more seasons. Season 1 does a excellent job setting the context and introducing us to the characters. It would be a shame if Tokyo Ghoul ended after just 24 episodes. I want more than that. If you fail to reach the midpoint of the first season, you will judge this series inaccurately based on limited data. If you make it to the midpoint, however, you will have that epiphany you've been searching for and the show will appear before you in a new light, as it has to me.

Don't judge this series based on the manga; they're totally different artforms and should be judged separately. It seems to me that a lot of people who negatively judge this series are extremely biased in favor of the manga, and that's just unreasonable.

If judged by the first half alone: 7.0-8.0/10.

If judged by the second half alone: 10/10.

If judged in hindsight taking into consideration everything I mentioned: 10/10.
