Synopsis

A sinister threat is invading Tokyo: flesh-eating "ghouls" who appear identical to humans and blend into their population. Reserved college student Ken Kaneki buries his nose in books and avoids the news of the growing crisis. However, the appearance of an attractive woman named Rize Kamishiro shatters his solitude when she forwardly asks him on a date.

While walking Rize home, Kaneki discovers she isn't as kind as she first appeared, and she has led him on with sinister intent. After a tragic struggle, he later awakens in a hospital to learn his life was saved by transplanting the now deceased Rize's organs into his own body.

Kaneki's body begins to change in horrifying ways, and he transforms into a human-ghoul hybrid. As he embarks on his new dreadful journey, Kaneki clings to his humanity in the evolving bloody conflict between society's new monsters and the government agents who hunt them.

it made me cry ngl
its like the only anime that made me cry while watching it.
The story is very cool, interesting and emotional.
the characters are great if not amazing
the fight scenes are great
and it posed many moral questions about the relationship between humans and ghouls.
the mc is good
the story is set in an alternate version of Tokyo where humans coexist with ghouls, beings who look like humans but can only survive by eating human flesh.
there isnt much else to say
I recommend watching at least the first season and then if you like it read the manga cuz i heard the later anime is bad

Mixed Feelings
This is a good anime in terms of art , animation , Ost and voice acting but there is something I must say : I think this adaptation conveys a very diffrent idea of the Tokyo Ghoul series as it portrays the theme to be a bit more edgy than the actual manga and this is a result of removing a lot of drama moments and character interactions and overall a lot of scenes from the manga. Also it doesn't help that there is a diffrent order than the manga where they adapt volume 4 before volume 3 in the anime which makes no sense ...

the manga? absolute masterpiece. Work of art. Made by a God.




the anime? disgusting. they skipped so many details from the manga and even made up stuff, the animation looks weird and overall they did the manga so dirty. please read the manga, it's way better than the anime.
the story itself is great, the characters too obviously, but the way they executed this could have been better imo, they skipped the whole kagune explanation, they did whatever they felt like, they skipped a lot of parts of the story and in some angles the animation looks weird, they did NOT respect the original manga artstyle. ...

Can an OP Character Be a Good Main Character?

Can an OP Character Be a Good Main Character?

OP characters are a common trope in anime, if not a loved one. An often repeated criticism of leads, particularly in shounen titles, is that they were too powerful. Distinguishing between the pros and cons of OP heroes is important to be able to understand if an OP lead can be a great character.
