I don't even understand the censorship. Like, half the stuff they are censoring isn't even that bad??? They show some blood but then it's like OH THATS TOO MUCH BLOCK IT OUT. It's really bugging me.

I like the series,so I'll keep watching but ughh

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.

I predict an anime original ending lol.
Uta was cool damn.
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?

7/10 for this episode.
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.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

yeah,quite. these 3 eps felt like a long intro. I still can't say I like this, it's just meh up to now. reading all the comments of manga readers I think I'm missing out quite a lot. well I hope this comes out good

They seem to be merging several arcs together, and I'm not too sure what to think of that decision. Way too much happened during this episode and quite a few scenes that would've benefitted from being expanded on ended up cut short, and the whole package felt rushed as a result.
However, I commend the show for adding those anime only scenes (notably the meeting at the CCG headquarters and the one with Jason and the Fueguchi family) that help linking the major events together. Still an enjoyable episode, and Uta and Fabulous Tsukiyama in all their animated glory are perfection.

Curious to see how that'll all turn out.

PS: one very minor gripe with the show, but I'm a bit saddened by the seeming lack of variety for the characters' outfits, especially since they change regularly in the manga (but I guess it's easier to animate that way, so I'll just let it slide).

Pretty decent episode. Seems like they were just introducing the characters and showing how the world of ghouls work. So Anteiku eats suicide victims huh? They should also kill all those evil doers and be the Ghouls of Justice!

MC walking in while Himari was eating was cool. Too bad it was censored. But hey, at least he didn't walk in on her changing or in the shower.

Lol at the end of the ED. I wonder why Toka doesn't like birds?

I got a big kick out of that scene with ken walking in on her eating lol because it's typically the *walking in on her changing cliche*


nice episode got to know little bit more on how the ghouls live in this world while on the other hand the box carriers as their called are hunting em down


ken learning too it's early so i can't expect much from him yet.

Pretty chill episode compared to the last two, still pretty good though. MC has to learn the dynamics of living as a Ghoul in human society. I knew the mask was coming because of artwork from the manga/previews for the anime shows MC with the mask on.

Now we know there's a large group devoted to driving out the ghouls, no surprise there. I'm actually interested in what these "ghouls" exactly are, how they came to be.

Little girl is pretty cute. I think its interesting that this episode is basically showing us how human like the ghouls are, besides their eating habits and special powers and whatnot, they seem to be the same as humans. Which again makes me very curious as to what exactly they are, and how they came to be that way (some kind of virus? Genetic defect? Hmm)

Dude at the end of the episode looks eccentric enough haha. Thought he was about to wreck havoc on the coffee place b/c everyone was a little to happy near the end of that episode.

Uta and Amon looks cooler in the anime and here comes the guy in the suit. This episode was slow but I didn't mind. I guess that's what you call the calm before the storm. I also really like the art in the ED and that ending scene...we've now found Toka's weakness! :D

the author himself tweeted "please treat us well for the next 3 months"
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


Now that I know...I'll just continue to watch this for the animation and soundtrack...but seriously, it would be nice if they had some funky soundtracks at certain scenes, like hip hop or alternative rock or something. I just noticed how depressing (mood wise) the soundtrack is played at certain scenes or maybe I'm still hooked up with Noragami's OST in the battle scene because it was pretty awesome IMO but anyway...it's only 3 episodes. I'll just wait.

I really like Yoshimura, he totally understands Ken's situation. Touka in the other hand is like the direct opposite.
'

This is true. Not a fan of Touka at the moment. I think she could be a bit more understanding instead of getting pissed off, when this dude is clearly in need of guidance while dealing with something he has never been through before.

Interesting episode, got to meet some new characters as well.

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


Ok, well looks like I'll be doing both! Can't wait! Thanks for responding as well!

You should drop it. MC never changes from his bland and pathetic state.


Something tells me you aren't exactly being truthful here.....though I personally don't really dislike Ken as he is now. He's obviously in over his head and I respect that.

Good episode, the pacing felt much better this time around. I hope it'll stay more like this from now on. Though, I'll admit that I am definitely considering reading the manga now.
