This show continues to be interesting. Down time for now, but I've a feeling things will get bad next episode, and it won't end well for the little girl.

It's nice to see Kaneki doing his best with his situation. Not that he has any choice, but it's nice that's he's trying.

Is there someone who have read the manga and who like that ?

I'm very disappointed, the story don't follow very good the original version, just here they skip one "arc" ( If I can to name that "arc" ) or there are 2 arc in the same time ? I don't know but it is too rushed.

I don't understand why the scene where Hinami eating is censured ... But there are worst, a few scene a little "gore" are completely delete in the anime version so I think I prefer still the censure.

Otherwise without compare with the manga, this anime are suitable for me, juste suitable

Pretty cool episode. Quite a bit happened this episode, I hope nothing important had to be omitted in order to squeeze everything. I kinda like the OP song more now. So basically the people of Anteiku hunt corpses of suicide victims. No matter how much you try to twist it it's still human flesh, so I guess it's still a no go for Kaneki?

Those suitcase dudes are interesting I guess, they can cut Ghouls which is supposed to not happen, I'm guessing it's the special steel thing (forgot the name of the material). This is definitely one of the better shows this season, hopefully it's 24 episodes or split cour or something.

4/5

Was a little rushed but not so much, the OP is awesome and I like the OST. I really have no idea where they're going with the adaption. This could end being a fuckfest if they mess this up. Could end uo being as bad and rushed as Black Bullet or Gokukoku. Let's hope it won't be like that, there's still some cencoring here and there. Will have to get used to it. Good episode 4/5

They're not skipping any arc just reordering some of the scenes. You shouldn't be disappointed in the third episode about them not adapting the manga faithfully because they have been doing this since the first episode. Some of the scenes are censored probably because Japan has strict laws, refer to Article 175 of the Criminal Code of Japan, otherwise the show could get cancelled (little girl eating fingers...not sure the parents would like that). And in my opinion they showed the new character at the end earlier than the manga maybe because they wanted to introduce a part of the main cast quickly.

And yeah I've read the manga and I still like how the anime is going so far.

Because the ghouls wouldn't want the CCG or other civilians to know their real identity while they're hunting.

well, in my opinion the anime is doing good so far.
of course, some events didnt happen in the same order as in manga, some were cut off, so if you are interested into it, definetly read the manga.
you will especially see why we all were hyped when we saw white haired kaneki in the opening

Really like this episode. I guess I'd say I love the rearrangements being made - makes it more interesting to watch as a manga reader.
Oh, and the ending pictures are gorgeous as well - look like a tribute for manga readers with characters shown which appear later.
ha, was waiting for the bird to cry "Loser' at any time, it didn't happen though for some reason, maybe because it's still too early for that bit

It must to be me, I don't like when the story don't follow exactly the original version. Some scenes delete, other add, I don't have the same feeling that when I read the manga, it still too much rushed for me.

For the censure, I mean I don't like the blurred, they can just to show meat without the fingers, I think than is not shocking like that

I'm gonna complain.
Censoring is as bad as ever, I guess i'll have to just get used to it.

I wish they stop changing stuffs.
Ghoul supposed to have really strong body. In manga, Kaneki did not use his Kagune to prevent that fall. He tried grabbing a rock while he's falling though his hand slips, but did not get any injury from the fall. He does not bring out his Kagune unless he's fighting against enemies. Plus he doesn't really know how to control and use it yet.

They deleted many events/scenes.. Several of Hide and Kaneki meetings in the manga got removed -_- 3 episodes in and we don't really get to see much Kaneki/Hide interactions after he turned into ghoul..

Tsukiyama got introduced way too early.
I don't like it if they re-arranging the arcs.
Gourmet Arc should happen according to the manga. Please don't let that arc happen first.

What's up with Jason doing in 20th ward, and Hinami's father is supposed to die months before Kaneki/Rize incident![/spoiler]

Liked the episode. We are introduced to a few new characters.So Kaneki's mask will be made by that guy. Hide is a smart one ; he acts as if he doesn't know anything.Director of the cafe is a bit suspicious ; he is too good. Purple-haired guy seems interesting as well...

And I will definitely rewatch the serie after the uncencored one is released...

Nice progression going on with the characters. I like the growing relationship between Toka and Hinami.

Seems like they're building up for something. I wonder how those people with the large cases kill so quickly. And the new guy! He seems like an interesting character.

Awwww... so peaceful... Kaneki learning to make coffee :3

Aha, the cafe is also a place of gathering for the ghouls of the 20th ward hm.

Touka just said she'd kill Hide if ever found out that they're ghouls :O

That lil girl is scared as hel... poor thing...

I wonder if it's the same Jason as the one from the horror movies.

That Mado guy seems scarier than the freaking ghouls do...

Ok... so they collect the bodies of those that have committed suicide to eat when they need to.

Touka sure is scary and hates poor Kaneki...

Kaneki... best timing 2014...

Good for you Kaneki! You found yourself a friend to spend time with!

LOL... that's one stylish bastard that just came in XD.

Haven't read the manga so censorship doesn't ruin it for me, but I can say that the plot looks very promising (although I might read the manga after this anime).
I especially liked the first episode where what seemed like a regular slice of life anime suddenly changed towards ghouls eating human organs with crazy outbursts from Kaneki...definitely watching this one!

if you can prove to me this anime will be 24 eps when it airs once a week over 3 months then id love to see how thats possible

Yay Uta. He looks great animated.

There is definite fast progression going on.

I'd like to have seen more of Kaneki's thoughts as he met Yomi and things, felt rushed and lacked the humour that's found in the manga.

But loving it so far. Censorship is lel.

Another great episode for the series Tokyo Ghoul. I don't think there was a single thing wrong with it besides the censorship. Some may complain about the lack of intensity that this episode had compared to the the other 2, but I think that this was perfect for the people who are only watching the anime to get further acquainted with the other charterers, including Kaneki.

Ah but honestly with how it's rushed there's no way for it to be as good as the manga. So many characters got introduced this episode, for a person who's only watched the anime isn't it quite frustrating when you barely know the main characters?

Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
