adcockashley The show is a bit on the morbid side, but has a deep, psychological plot that really makes you think about what it means to be human. It also makes you think about the relationship between people, and how you treat others.

teopsa Kaneki, a common teenager is about to meet his destiny which is waitingfor him right around the corner.Tokyo Ghoul is indeed epic andemotional at times.It balances well drama and action as well as the development of the characters, especially it's main protagonist.It can be a bit violent and bloody at times but hey, that's what makes it original ! You will be literally hooked on the characters as the plot goes on and of course, on the plot itself.Some episodes are better than others, just because of the combinations of music and drama.For Example, at the end of the 5th episode of season 1, there is a great combination of melody and atmosphere.Especially when Kaneki shouts ''Tsukiyama'' and Touka takes a bite of his shoulder,for me it is one of the best episodes of the series, for this simple reason.It's my 2nd favourite anime, you should Definitely give it a try.

facecht I started watching Tokyo Ghoul after some recommendations from my friends since Iam a fan of this kind of anime/shows.I was really impressed, the story is very original and i develops very good, the character development its a huge advantage for this anime and I think it is famous for this characteristic. I didn't read the manga(comic) but still a very good one.The idea of a Ghoul who cannot eat anything else but human flesh its kind of terrifying and scary but the connection between humans and ghouls its really interesting and challenging for both sides, which brings the fight for survival in a strange way and for Kaneki who is the main character once a human now a Ghoul look stupid to even think of eating a human flesh to survive.The animation could have been better by this I mean the frames which are fewer than expected and the story has some glitches but I think this two little problems can be improved in the third season that is coming in spring 2016.In the end a very watchable anime and a pretty good one, recommended to anyone who likes anime and is looking for something new.9/10 for me because of the great original plot and the characters development.

Marcus James Yet another coming of age type show with a dark hero. I really hate these weakling heroes turned superman on a whim type shows but it is what it is. Overall its not too bad. The romance innuendo is garbage and the characters are completely unbelievable acting one way one episode then doing a 180 the very next (the ghoul girl went from super strong to whiny princess... hero went from whiny princess to superman, etc). Still it is not bad outside of characterization and the action is done well enough to hold my attention but this is no Kenshin or Berserk (not even close). Character development is very bad and too generic and the overuse of "mysterious" forces and plots getting people to act the way they do actually make me less interested (think Wolverine in the comics) because of how unrealistic the characters behave. There are no redeeming characters in this show, they might as well all be 2nd graders given their intellectual acumen. I wish anime were written a little smarter. Even when I was a kid I hated poorly written stories and characters. Overall I give this a 6/10 given fun fights.
