I don't understand people saying this is how the manga was supposed to be since I'm pretty sure that's a lie right there. This season is just different route that the manga took and it's written by the mangaka

didnt watch it yet but does this even follow the manga ? (not that the first season followed it 100%) i read the manga and just wanna know if im wasting my time.


For the moment it looks like it is not following the manga.

At this point in the manga, some differences include:

-When Kaneki fights Ayato, Ayato gets "Half-killed," which is basically Kaneki breaking half of Ayato's bones.

-Kaneki, Tsukiyama and Banjou leave together to destroy Aogiri

Allow me to clarify to everyone this is an original story that Ishida went with because of he hated the way the first season was done. This does not follow the manga in any way.

Tsukiyama, Yomo and Uta vs Noro was HILARIOUS, Tsukiyama was having multiple oragasms, meanwhile Noro had zero fucks to give XDDDDD

Ayato vs Touka was a damn massacre and when Kaneki jumped in I was screaming like a bitch lol....Even though we didnt get our bone breaking scene, I was satisfied with everything else that they kept

Shinohara and Iwa vs Yoshimura + Amon and the other dude was BADASS (THANK YOU TATSUYA FOR NO CENSORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Suzuya casually carrying Jason's body like a child with candy made my day LOLOLOLOLOL and Eto was kawaii as usual <3 <3 <3

My only complaint about the episode is that it felt kind of fast paced and I didn't like the OP at all....The ED and the OST however was pretty awesome tho

Overall 5/5 for me. I really liked the episode, animation had a few derps but it was good for the most part

Despite everyone hating on the new opening, I really don't mind it. Now the episode was good, damn enjoyable, though gotta say, anime only watchers,read the manga. Though this is a original story, it's really fun, not only because people can't spoil you, 'cause you don't know what might happen XD, but it also seems like a reversed story from the manga. I have no idea what I'm talking about.


i'm on the same page. I read really vividly so i actually didn't want to see the series play out the way the manga did itd be like seeing a rerun for me (also i've read it 3 times now). I love/am obsessed with not only the manga but the whole world created so i'm excited about the divergent story cause it just adds more to the universe of TG. i thought the intro was cool but i also didn't compare or hold it to some unbeatablly high standard as most fans did.

Most folks are saying it felt rushed but to me if you have read the manga the whole first season feels rushed(and fragmented), i guess thats where the rift forms between the two(manga readers, and anime watchers) but this again is an ep that is still somewhat in the manga so certain things are kept in to create a bridge for the variation which i'm sure will be a different pace because theres an even bigger freedom to do things with out any real source material to compare it to (a manga following the same plot)

like i said i'm a big fan of the show so i'm really excited to see how they execute this!!

Holy crap like, amazing.

One tentacle deflecting all shots and using it to jump about and kneeing ayato, disabling his wings, my god the animation was beautiful there.

Defo 5/5. It may not be going with the manga but the original story seems promising.

The new OP is.... well, not as good as unravel but manageable. Both songs at the ending were very fitting. I can see Unravel being played near the end of the series for all out awesomeness.

Also, what the heck is wrong with you people voting it 1 or a 2? You mad muppets.

Hmm...when it was announced that the second season would have only 12 eps, my greatest worry was "how on earth are they going to put the whole story left in the manga in only 12 eps". Well, the asnwer it's obvious, "the won't. Instead there is going be a new whole story TAT". After having accepted this fact, this episode was just good. I would have to give it a few more eps and see what happens.
Oh, and yeah...after hearing the op the only thing I was thingking was "please, let this be the ending" (I was hoping they had exchanged the op/ed order TAT). Having said that, there is only one way to solve the op problem and its name is Ling Tosite Sigure.

That was a pretty nice first episode, Kaneki being reborn and having a new goal.

The building breaking down with plenty of action and Kaneki joining the Aogiri!

One of the worst openings I've ever seen/heard in anime.

There was action but that action felt like it wasn't even there. Terrible fights. The atmosphere didn't feel like Tokyo Ghoul at all - like a completely different anime.

100% anime original story... well, we all knew about that, and at least there will be something new to see. Oh, and the censorship is gone.

Overall, I expected to be disappointed, but not this much. This isn't the Tokyo Ghoul I've been waiting for.

The new op is awful, ed is good. Extremely disappointed it's not following the manga, some parts of the manga were difficult to see or understand and I think by animating it, some things would be cleared up or I could've enjoyed the story more. I would've preferred an original story after the manga was adapted.

I hated that the part where Kaneki broke Ayato's bones was taken out

I'm sad because this means less Tsukiyama and shit I forgot Ayato was voiced by Kaji Yuki. fml.

Backgrounds are gorgeous.
I expect the actual animation/art to decay significantly as we go along because let us not forget the studio behind this.

Well, firstly it obviously has some things that differ from the manga.

The CM says "another Tokyo Ghoul spun" and the article says "new original story concept". It does not mean it's supposed to be how the manga was "supposed" to be at all. It literally just means that this an another story concept that's completely original just like some anime original episodes. Also Ishida's on the staff list because he is credited of the story of this season like it says on that article.

I was a bit dissapointed when they didnt animate the ayato kaneki fight scene with the bone breaking...
kinda dropped my expectations of the anime series...

but i guess i should stop comparing the anime to the manga
it kinda feels like a VN and kaneki picked the choice 'join aogiri' instead of the choice he chose in the manga series. so i assume at this point it should be pretty different than the manga series

i hope this new route will be good too~ :)

edit: but hey, if kaneki joins aogiri, can we expect some more kaneki and ayato interaction? :D

Things I liked:
Ayato, I love his character and I love his fight scenes.
Keneki's new idgaf face, I really like the direction his character is going; especially design-wise.
The ED art was beautiful.

Things I didn't like:
The clowns 4th wall break
The shakey cam
The song to the op, though I enjoyed the art.


Over-all I expected a little more of a bang with this first episode more like the first or final episode of the last season, but I did enjoy the introduction of new characters and the ending scene quite a bit.
