My removed review of Tokyo Ghoul √A (UPDATE)
Anime Relations: Tokyo Ghoul, Tokyo Ghoul √A, Tokyo Ghoul: "Jack", Tokyo Ghoul:re, Tokyo Ghoul:re 2nd Season
On November 5th 2018, my review of Tokyo Phoul √A was removed by a moderator-who-shall-not-be-named due to suppressions from "unknown elements" (Tokyo Ghoul fans who seek to silence strong independent women who aren't afraid of telling it like it is). The reason for this was that my sarcastic review had a score of 10 (despite the fact that, up until then, my review had been up for years without any problems whatsoever and that the mod could just have sent me a message asking me to change the score; thankfully, they apologized). Therefore, I have no choice but to repost it here.
As of November 3rd 2018, my review had 403 likes and was the third most popular review of Tokyo Phoul √A.
(UPDATE: I was allowed to re-upload my review https://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=293416 in the review section but, long story short, it was still unnecessarily deleted. I'm going to keep the review here in case it gets deleted again.)
Oh, and by the way...

Tokyo Ghoul √A is one of the most brilliant and intriguing anime I’ve ever had the pleasure to watch. With a breathtaking plot, well-developed characters and wonderful animation that leaves me speechless beyond measure it is definitely one of the greatest, if not THE greatest, anime that has been, and will ever be, made.
The story centers around all of the many wonderful characters that appear in Tokyo Ghoul; Ken Kaneki (his hair is completely white now by the way. That’s badass!), the Anteiku ghouls and the not-so-evil police force that tries to eliminate the poor ghouls from the surface of the Earth. But does having an unnecessary gigantic amount of characters make the anime, in any way, messy and more than often really hard to follow? No! Not at all! I actually think it would have been harder to follow the story if they hadn’t decided that switching between mindless action scenes, yummy slice of life sequences and awkward gay sexual innuendos all the time was the best way to tell the story of Tokyo Ghoul √A. I mean, who wants to watch an anime with a well-paced, comprehensible and, Io and behold, well-written story? Not me at least, and I don’t see why anybody would like to watch something like that.
Now, let’s move on to the best part of Tokyo Ghoul √A: the characters. Oh, how I love them! How I love all those unrealistic ghouls and police men who keep making moronic and unjustified decisions, those deep and multidimensional villains that pop up from nowhere and we don’t get to know anything about, those poor victims that also pop up from nowhere and die a tragic death ten seconds after their first appearance! I never knew such fantastic characters existed until I watched this anime. The best character is, without a doubt, our dear protagonist Ken Kaneki. He only gets around two minutes of screen time in the first nine-ten episodes or so, and yet he gets so much character development. When he rolls around on the floor while screaming we understand that he’s really sad. When he fights the good guys for the lulz we understand that he does that because he has to do it. When he joins the Aogiri organization we understand that he does that because he has to protect his friends (because the evil guys also want to protect his friends – that’s what enemies are for!). The other characters are also wonderfully fleshed out and get some brilliant development; some of them are so realistic that I even tried talking to them once and touched my computer screen to see if the characters weren’t real people after all.
The art and animation are, likewise, absolutely fantastic. Especially the clumsily animated action sequences, the dialogue scenes where nothing but the mouths are moving and the derpy faces that appear in each and every scene - I can really feel that the animators put a lot of love in their work while animating this and that they definitely didn’t do it just because they needed the money. I'd even go as far as say that Tokyo Ghoul √A has changed my view on what ''good animation quality'' is; this anime's animation makes stuff like Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu and Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works (TV) look like complete garbage.
Last but not least: the sound. The voice acting is absolutely superb; whenever Kaneki or any of the other characters open their mouth and talk/whine/scream overdramatically I could hear angels chant somewhere far away. I can’t praise the voice actors enough (especially Natsuki Hanae who voiced Kaneki and Yuki Kaji who voiced Ayato. Such dramatic! Such sensitivity! Much feels!) – Or well, almost all of them. I simply can’t understand why they hired that unprofessional bastard Mamro Moyano to voice Tsukiyama. Seriously, why didn’t they hire a bad voice actor instead, like the dude who voiced Kiri-gay-a in Sword Art Online?
The soundtrack is, of course, also great. Especially the opening theme; the lyrics are simply amazing. They are so deep that they are almost 2deep4me - “We gave our love to toys (…) The prostitute spat fire”. I believe that whoever wrote the song is the Japanese songwriter version of Shakespeare and that s/he will receive a Grammy for “Best Songwriter” in five-six years, and I will definitely try to support her/him and her/his songs about the terrible porn industry all the way.
Conclusion? Tokyo Ghoul √A is, without a doubt, one of the best anime ever created. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, it will scare the heck out of you, it will make you upset, it will change your life. Before I watched this anime I was nothing but an edgy emo teen that enjoyed watching mindless horror movies and being envious of the popular girls in my class. But Tokyo Ghoul √A made me see The Light. It made me understand that my current way of life was shameful and wrong, and that I should start living like a good person instead. This anime is the very reason why I am who I am today. God knows what would have happened to me if I hadn’t watched this show.
Once again: this show will change your way of thinking, your way of life. I simply can't recommend this anime enough. Go watch this masterpiece immediately!

How to bypass kissanime's adblock killer and ads – guide (OUTDATED)
Anime Relations: Inferno Cop
Anti adblock killer method:
Download Reek's Anti Adblock killer and add it to your extensions gallery
No Anti adblock killer method:
1. Go to kissanime and select whatever anime episode you want to watch
2. Just below the video there should be a message which reads "If the player does not work, CLICK HERE to use your device's player/try to disable IPv6 or change server". Click on CLICK HERE
3. Done
Ads
First of all: make sure you have ublock origin (or adblock plus) and preferably pop up blocker pro installed
Due to unspecified complications kissanime had to switch ad networks a few months ago and ever since then there have been reports of malicious pop ups on KA. Some of them are so intrusive that they even manage to bypass the "standard" adblock filters so if you want to stay safe I suggest you copy + paste this list and add it to your adblocker (WARNING: DO NOT VISIT ANY OF THESE SITES):
