| Episode 1 [spoiler] Well, I'm usually very optimistic for most shows for the first few episodes so it doesn't say much, but this episode was quite good. It didn't disappoint at least, though it also didn't WOW me. I like 'edgy' shows like this in general unless they are really terrible, so I should be having a good time watching Tokyo Ghoul. Though the censoring could get annoying to even me. |

| Ep 1 [spoiler] Yeah I'm pretty optimistic for this anime too. Some really great gorey action. The animation was quite nice too, don't think I've seen anything I've liked this much from Pierrot since Area 88 lol. I think the thing that sets this apart from other shows of this nature is that it actually manages to have a consistent dark and serious atmosphere. A lot of these type of shows throw in a lot of light comedic scenes/fanservice/SoL which really messes with the atmosphere, but this managed to remain rather serious and very dark throughout. So yeah hopefully it can continue like this lol. |

| Episode 2 [spoiler] I'm normally the last one to complain about censoring, but it's just too much in this. before the OP we basically missed a whole scene of who knows what. My other issue is with that guy Kaneki fought this episode. His behaviour seems irrational. If he just sees humans as cattle why does he blend in and live as a normal student then? Why did he force himself to eat what tastes like shit to him for basically no good reason? I just don't know what to make of him. The rest of the episode was pretty good, though the gore wasn't all that necessary in the fight imo. I'm interested in seeing how Hide reacts to Kaneki being a ghoul now (he obviously was awake during that conversation) and also about 'learning more about the ghouls' as that old guy mentioned. Maybe knowing how Nishio fits into the 'ghoul society' will make him seem less confusing. |

|
| Ep 3 [spoiler] Yeah I'm loving the op, and it's great to see some real antagonists for the ghouls. I mean they already seem to be at each other's throats but now they have the doves to worry about too, who are pretty awesome IMO (but pretty OP it seems like). It was also nice to have the MC find someone to sympathize with in his troubles in adjusting to ghoul life with the daughter and the Cafe owner seems like a pretty chill guy, something tells me he's a beast in combat though. |

| Episode 3 [spoiler] I agree this was a pretty great episode. The doves are definitely a real threat and the two we know so far seem to be merciless and borderline mental as well. I like them. A bunch of other new characters as well that I'm interested in. Mainly that guy from the last scene and the guy we didn't get to see who came to the doctor for 'something'. Definitely liked this episode even more than episode 2, hope it continues that way! |

|
| Episode 4 [spoiler] Haha yeah I agree brian, the voice acting and the overall OTT aproach of this episode were pretty fun, though the predictability of the whole thing made me dislike the MC because he was too stupid to see any of it coming despite being warned beforehand. |

|
| Ep 4 [spoiler] I don't mind a little craziness and I can't fault Kaneki too much for trusting Berg Katze 2.0, because he's still young and Touka is kinda scary lol. Yeah the gladiator fight was cool I don't know why he couldn't activate his tentacle things though. |

| [spoiler]You guys are way too trustworthy :P. I guess I was just under the impression that any Ghoul that isn't part of that cafe circle is potentially dangerous so I'd never trust a stranger more than the people that have already been established as being fairly nice/normal. Being new and still clinging to his humanity should just make him all the more scared of random Ghouls intruding on his life, considering what happened with Rize. Idk, it still seems too gullible to me :>. |

|
| Ep 5 [spoiler] DAT NTR D: Yeah pretty great episode, nice to see Toka in full form and learn about Nishiki's past. Much more realistic and relatable character now. Hopefully the others characters get the same treatment. |

| Episode 5 Episode 6 [spoiler] Wow, that was a really heart-wrenching episode. First the part with the dad and then they used his remains to attract the daughter... (I think that's what they meant by using the dead body, but you might also be on to something Yoshi, the weapons are likely to be related to ghouls as well, that's usually how it works in such cases). Definitely very depressing, and I'm not optimistic at all that the mother will survive. Those two doves seem to kill anyone they encounter, with the exception of the actual bad guy they seem to be after (Jason, who I'm also quite interested in). They failed pretty hard when it came to that, and the only thing they ever leave behind are 'civilian' casualties. I hate them, but I do hope we'll get some backstory on them sooner or later. Anyway, in terms of emotional intensity this was definitely the best episode so far for me. |

| Ep 6 [spoiler] XD lol'd pretty hard at the Tuxedo Mask thing. Yeah pretty good episode. I knew the girl and her family would have to start getting important at some point. Also agree their weapons seem to be made out of the ghouls tentacle things and the mother is probly gonna die. Yeah I feel pretty bad for the girls and at this rate a confrontation between the doves and Anteiku seems unavoidable. Also I imagine Toka's human friend is gonna dragged into this too. |

| Episode 7 |
|
| Episode 7 [spoiler] Another enjoyable episode, despite Ryouko's death which was quite sad. Touka killing that one powerless investigator wasn't very helpful in anyway, and the real threats were too much to handle for her (well, mainly eye guy) so yeah, not a smart decision. But at least she knows it. Kanekis mask indeed looks badass, I'm just worried he won't live up to it xD. |

| Ep 8 [spoiler] Animation in this episode was pretty fantastic as Brian already pointed out. The scene with Touka removing the glove and seeing his wedding ring was indeed very poignant. Just an excellent episode in general, easily my favourite in the series so far. Looking forward to seeing Amon again. I wonder what (or rather who) his new weapon will be. |

| Episode 8 [spoiler] Holy shit, this episode was amazing in all aspects. The visuals were stunning (nice screenshots brian!), the directing was also superb, I really loved the parallels that were drawn this episode as you guys have mentioned. The revelation of the wedding ring (and his death in general) were very impactful and the scenes with Kaneki and Amon may have lied an extremely thin foundation for humans and ghouls understanding each other. The only scene that made me shed a tear or two was Hinami's "I don't care... about revenge. I'm just... sad." Overall just a fantastic and intense episode, definitely my favorite of the show so far! |

| Ep 10 [spoiler] Kaneki gets captured more often than Lisa lol. Anyway I agree this is a nice turn of events to lead us into the finale. Hopefully Amon also gets thrown into the fray near the end with his new partner. |

|
| Ep 11 [spoiler] Great comeback episode for Amon, his new quinqe are pretty badass. Some great action all around, but yeah the constant censors and color switching are a little off-putting though. Hopefully the show ends strong though. |

| Episode 12 |
|
| Ep 12 [spoiler] Yep a fantastic finale. Really brings it back full circle with the psychological struggle that Kaneki faced during the first 2 episodes and finally we have an answer of being a ghoul. The backstory with his mom and just the entire tone of the episode was great in general. Yeah some of the stuff with Jason was kind of OTT and somewhat difficult to take seriously and the transformation at the end was a little bit of a stretch, but it still ended up going pretty powerful. I agree with 7/10 |
