Poor Amon. Losing a partner isn't easy...:(
I feel bad for him now.

Good to see Itori back again with Kaneki this episode. He sure could use a bit of enthusiasm boost. This was a slow episode but there are some back stories like with Touka. Feels like it's developing into something more though. Anyways, Dove will probably respond to this soon..

I sense a battle coming.

Uta vs Yomo was a bit WAY TOO EARLY
Akira being introduced was a bit WAY TOO EARLY
Hide seeing Jason was a bit WAY TOO EARLY
Touka flashback was a bit WAY TOO EARLY

I thought they were mad but they're genuinely trying to fit everything into one season, this episode was all-over the place really...

good then.
they probably want to make all of them early so they could focus everything to kaneki later.

This ep gave me really mixed feelings XD It had amazing pacing and was perfect as a build up. But it makes me think they're not gonna be adapting Aogiri Tree arc anymore. (I guess this might be for the best seeing as how it would be butchered <_<)
I can see this only reaching the part where Ken's hair goes white and stop with a cliffhanger saying "Read the manga bitches" XD

Akira's cameo was :O and Suzuya too XD Was I imagining things or Suzuya was being VA'd by KugiRie? Also nice to see Arima animated. He looks quite different from the manga ^^;

Seeing Touka's flashbacks with Ayato and Arata (Dad) was nice. Loli Touka is KAWAII <3

And seeing Ayato being a soft scaredy cat as a kid and what he became now was quite cool.

Hide overhearing Jason was also quite the scene. And seeing Banjou was fun too ^^

But really all DAT build up with how everyone wants to meet Rize was goosebump inducing XD

So yeah if I looked at it as a standalone ep, it was amazing but if I look at it from the perspective of "How the hell are they gonna do the rest" then I have no idea what to think XD

The music this episode was amazing too.

I'm not sure if I like the idea of a war now. One of the 2 Ghoul killing characters are dead, so I don't care about that. Ghouls fighting among each other other could be a good development, but I think they could have given Touka some more conflict without turning her brother on her.

It will be really interesting to hear what the fudge Rize did to make everyone in 11th hate her tough!

That swearing bird is so funny.

But wow... brother and sister relationship problems incoming i'm guessing. For some reason Ayato looks older than his elder sister. Like by alot. Dang though. War incoming. Oh boy. Jason, investigators, Ghouls. All out war and Rize is right in the middle of it. Kaneki. Poor Kaneki.

mmm!!!
interesting! abit..
it was a okay episode (there wasnt much of important things besides backstory (i think kaneki is the person with less background story in the anime when i think about it) ),the ending felt like it was foreshadowing a bunch of events that will probably only fit in a 2nd season.
but..what could happen in 2 episodes? its hard to say goodbye i didn't even get to see white haired kaneki and i don't even know when that is going happen..
well its a sad moment..

It's nice to see how Amon and Mado met. Arima seems pretty cool.
There's also this girl who visited Mado's grave and this guy who stole Kaneki's wallet.
Hopefully they'll be introduced soon.

Itori and Hide appear again. Itori's fun as always, while Hide is freakin' too good at analyzing.

I sense a war coming to the 20th Ward.
Jason's after Rize. Banjo's after Rize. Heck, even Ayato's after Rize.
Kaneki has to be careful. Shit's about to go down.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

Entertaining and great episode for me as manga reader. Although probably not for others.

Like I said before I don't care anymore if they cover 18 chapters in one episode like now.
I just love to see at least fraction of manga animated.

This adaptation is essentially going DEENSPEED by these standarts. This episode was a complete mess.

So many things happening at once, so little time to care... Good thing I read the manga.

They just showed a fraction of Touka's past? Does this mean the rest will be cut off or is it going to be displayed at a proper scene in the future? If they don't then nobody's going to care for Ayato (voiced by Kaji Yuki if im not mistaking).

Banjou and his gang's appearances didn't make any sense. They didn't even show Rize's backstory in the 11th ward yet.

I guess Akira's cameo was fine. Suzuya's encounter with Kaneki felt very unnatural.

They just wanted to dump out all these character introductions at once in this episode, so they could be dealt with and forgotten.

I think the anime just dragged out the scene for a little bit longer, slighly changing his character.

Looks like Touka is having regrets for killing Mado since he had a family. Also looks like her brother is coming with many others to cause trouble in the 20th Ward.

Exactly my thoughts. This is gonna end abruptly or there will be a second season, because they can't possibly finish this arc in 3 episodes.

I'm pretty sure they could just wrap this up with the end of the Aogiri Tree arc. They don't have enough source material for another cour. I mean sure, they could dramatically slow down the pacing and add some filler here and there, and make a second season that way. But it's totally counterproductive, since they already rushed this cour and gave the manga sales a huge boost. There's also the fact that leaving things uncompleted could result into an even bigger boost in manga sales. So their mission is accomplished.

Yes, either they changed it to split-cour or they put stop on it completely. Anime had like 3k BD pre-orders only. I don't know how it stands now but numbers for it are supposedly very low.
I doubt there would be any sequel, take it as promo series to manga.
Rize background won't be resolved in this part.

Largely uninteresting. Which is odd because it feels rushed but also slow at the same time.
If there's really only 3 episodes left then we're in for a world of hurt.

You are right, this is very likely to happen. It's such a shame though because it would be awesome if the next chapters were adapted imo.

It really is. Those chapters give off the right impression on Kaneki's character.

At least we have the manga. The boost in sales is only going to help it out in the long run though.

The action in the Aogiri Tree arc is the only thing I'm looking forward to getting animated.
