Well, it looks like I finally found a worst adaptation than DEEN'S Fate/stay night UBW adaptation.......okay that's an exaggeration. This is still pretty damn bad, though.

Wayyyyyyyyy to freaking RUSHED. Like seriously it took like a week of torture not a day for him to get white hair. The pacing was good until this episode. I knew they would rush considering they only had two episodes left...

Welp, glad I read the manga at least, Way better.

Fucking garbage. I don't want to censor Curse words anymore.I'm pissed off.
This is Straight up insult to the original source.
Everything is changed and ruined for the worsts.
Most of all Kaneki's development is so Fucking ruined and What he's Hair turned white in one single day?
Holy Shit!
In the manga It took one week of torturing Kaneki for him to break down completely and There were Two Important characters(Child and the mother) that had a huge role in Kaneki's Development.
They were completely removed!

This anime adaptation is disgusting,Fuck I'm not gonna buy that stupid dvd anymore in the future.
Also they Literally changed every scenario in the Aogiri arc that everything is a Total mess.
Thanks for ruining Tokyo ghoul in the eyes of Anime only viewers!
Good job Pierrot!
Fuck I'm so angry right now I can't believe it.


Sadly, this is how I feel. I could endure the rushed moments from previous episodes since the studio had limited time to work with, but this episode ruined so many characters that it was difficult to enjoy the rest of it.


Indeed.Its seriously hard to enjoy an anime when you Know how Amazing the original source was.
I tried separating my views from a Manga reader and an anime viewer but its just impossible to contain my anger from this episode.
Also Fucking Amon has more Screen time than Kaneki and felt more like a Protagonist in the last episodes.
Fuck Amon,Where the hell is Kaneki's inner dialogues?
Derp.
One whole episode should have been dedicated to his Development.
I swear they are gonna cram Kaneki's Mental break down with Rize in the last episode and still Cram another truck of shit in.
Literally I can't see how are they gonna put all the Fights,Kaneki's Talk with Ayato(Ya ya Spoilers),The ending closure in one single episode.
We will see another Evolved form of Rush pacing.Even Rushed than black bullet.

Was just done catching up to the recent manga chapter yesterday and I was so hype on the torture adaptation. But it was pretty underwhelming after watching this. Well, can't help it since there are 12 episodes only. At least, the bike scene was hilarious. And the action scenes are pretty good. Just too rush (sigh). If there is a petition for a remake then I will definitely join in whatever it takes.. hehe.

so did I. it was entertaining at least. I also didn't feel that it was too rushed probably because I have no additional content to refer to and I expected this as the fast paced action episode since it's already ep 11 of 12.

sadly, I'm not motivated to read its source material because I only read finished material.

and anyone petitioning for a remake is delusional. nothing makes this entire thing special to the point that it would get massively popular decades or even half a decade later.

aww.. i dont mind them skipping and going at the speed of light but the kaneki development really was handled poorly. kaneki's transformation is literally the pinnacle of this arc, or this story for that matter. im not as butt hurt as some, as i already given up on the anime. the manga will forever be a stand alone masterpiece imho.

How can you deem the source material as nothing special when you haven't even read it. What kind of logic is that. And it's pretty popular with most of its Vols selling about 500K or above per Vol. Also add to the fact almost all the Vols rank in top 50 weekly.

Well, i can't really say what i think about the episode. I really didn't understand what the hell was going on throughout the torture scene, are these numbers that Kaneki spewed really supposed to have an impact? Kinda surprised this Suzuya's that strong, i mean he effortlessly cleared out a room full of ghouls with guns.

At last, the hyped up to oblivion by fans white hair appears. It better be something else, i'm also hoping Yamori gets what's coming to him, but seeing how he escaped his own torture, i'm guessing Kaneki's going to be similar.

Well, even though i haven't read the manga, this still felt extremely quick. Seeing how everyone's massively hating, i'm glad i watched the Anime first. It's not over yet, though.

4/5. I still feel very sad for Mado ;(

From what I remember, in the manga Kaneki is counting in an effort to keep himself from thinking about the pain.

Omg I haven't watched a torture of this caliber in any anime before. Only in maybe some videogames or some fucked up movies. Poor Kaneki.....
But man!!! that resilience of Ghouls is fucking amazing. Humans are like 100 times more fragile. It makes me wonder some times how the fuck Rize died by a pile little iron beams falling on her head while Kaneki has survived: several holes throu his body, Jason fucking destroying him in last episode and this episodes fucking torture...

Judging by the speed of manga, it would take weeks to develop. The anime feels like riding a bullet train lol. A lot of epic skipped scenes and inconsistencies. I like how Suzuya just appeared out of nowhere and not there was no mentioning of any leaders of the ghoul organization. And...wtf? The one eye owl was supposed to be the supreme leader, and yet the anime just assumed the audience would know that already? Fighting scene feels way less intriguing all those scene jumping. Is this specifically made for people with short attention span or what? At some point I honestly just wanted this episode to end already. In manga there were a lot of psychological warfare which the anime was not able to reproduce like how Kaneki decided to turn into beast mode. In anime, the transformation was only that one second. The ending was way too abrupt. How disappointing.

I think the torture scenes will be shown in episode 12 .... Because Pierrot happy to randomize various scenes(you know ... the filler), and it also includes children and mothers in the manga

But, in the anime may be a pair of two people who deliver Banjou message to Kaneki ... since Jason smile at that time .... maybe Jason using those two to break Kaneki mental

After watching last week's episode, I really wanted to start reading the manga but I thought "only 2 more episodes!" As a non-manga reader, this was a good episode though it feels a bit uh...too quick. Can't say rushed because I don't really know which parts are missing.

If this was an original anime, they fucked up even harder since there's no reason to mess up all the pacing given that they're the ones writing the story. Also a lot of inconsistencies too though since these came from skipped/altered scenes, that's to be expected.

The event in ep 12 is the highlight and the turning point of the series, the one scene where all the epic fights in the manga starts from. But Studio Pierrot did an awfully bad job on the adaptation and the build-up to this point is all a mess which probably will make all of the things that happen after this seems like an asspull. Just start reading the manga from the first chapter up to this same arc which is around chapter 60+ and I'm sure you'll find it worth your time compared to this anime adaptation.

This is bullcrap. Total, complete, utter bullcrap. My goodness, how they butchered this manga it is inexcusable and unforgivable. First, it is impossible for your hair to go white in one night. Instead of being under stress, this represents Kaneki is in BADASS MODE because white hair is BADASS. Fuck that. There is literally no weight behind this white hair, so FUCK YOU PIERROT FOR THAT. Second, even though Kaneki was pussy in manga as well, as others said already he went under torture for 10 freaking days before change occurred. Also, fuck Rize and Kaneki inside monologue. Coz there is no need to see what is happening inside, it is only important that he has white hair. There was no need to show why he lived the way he did, why was his policy to "better be hurt than hurt others". No need to show his mother, his childhood, his growth into what he was. Next, where is that Okama guy, who is there to shut down Jason's hunger? Because fuck that guy in anime, he is useless. If they left out that much content, why did they bother to put him in episode 10 at all. Next, what the fuck is Banjo doing there? They will help Kaneki? It was their uselessness which put him in that torture chamber in first place. Also, while we are still there, fuck the escape and fuck mother and child who died in front of Kaneki, which was basically a trigger for transformation. Fuck that all. We will staple on white hair on Kaneki so he can be badass now. Of course, fuck Jason's explanation of how he was tortured to Kaneki, that had to be done by some character who has nothing to do with Kaneki's torture, so he is now only giving expositions for people who are watching this pile of shit. Also, if they bothered to squeeze that conversation, they could have at least spent additional 10 words to say what the hell does that countdown mean and what Jason's dark side really is. Oh God, how they destroyed this gold mine... I hate that fucking studio.

That was one hell of a mess.
The impact that Kaneki's torture had in the manga is completely gone. The only thing left behind is how sick it was. Without Kaneki's monologue its just awful. His development in the anime was trash and its not looking like it will even get close to redeeming itself.
It was total bullshit watching Banjou cleaning up his blood like that and being like "lol just hang in there a little longer" WHO THE HELL WOULD SAY THAT IN THAT SITUATION.
Kaneki's character received so much butchering, from both Yamori and the anime staff.

oh and Nishiki just came out of nowhere to save Touka. What even.

I wanted this to be a long running series, but this episode felt so rushed. Where was the runaway scene? The Kagune explanation? The meeting with Tatara?

If they think they could just make cool action scenes to make up for the material they butchered, they're sadly mistaken. Looks like this arc is going to end in 2 episodes at this rate.

This arc has been beaten stabbed, and clawed beyond recognition.

They keep shoving in anime only material to try and link everything up, when if they had simply followed the source material it would all be wrapped up neatly for them.

In my honest opinion,
The only positive thing the anime has done is speed up the translation of the manga chapters.

I've never actually loathed and anime adaptation before, but hey I guess there's a first time for everything.

Pierrot took one look on The original source and said "Fuck it!".
They didn't understand how carefully and masterfully Tokyo ghoul is.
Everything is full of Foreshadowing,Subtlety,Reference to previous chapters its a Gold mine and its border line Genius.
Who knew a studio could fuck Kaneki's development so badly that's beyond recognition and I don't even know if that's the Aogiri arc I seen from the original source.

I can't help but feel that Tokyo Ghoul is a mature-plated shounen anime. While the manga does look promising, the anime is not just heavily condensed in violence for a supposedly gory aniime, and I pity Nishiki for being the victim ALL THE TIME. Would like to see more of Tsukiyama and Renji action next episode. For some reasons, I'm reminded of Berserk with the torture scene. Saw that hair colour change coming.
Though I really hate those attempting to give this anime a low score just because it is a disappointing adaptation. Come on - comparing two different versions of a similar plot is extremely biased, justify personal condemnation for this show, don't you think? A steady eight is what I can give for now, unlike those who brutally give it 1/10 even.

If this didn't CLAIM to be an adaptation, I am pretty sure people wouldn't be rating it THIS low. When you start an adaptation you open yourself to being torn apart if you don't follow the source or if you make TOO many changes something which this anime is VERY guilty of

Also, Pierrot cut a lot of scenes from the manga replacing their own scenes.
