OP is ok, ED was really nice. This episode was interesting, but we didn't get the bones scene ;-;


This change in the story meant no 103 bones. sucks rights?
Yeah, i was really anxious for that, but at least we still got the epic "Shut up, listen while I'M talking" scene

I kinda like the OP... Not as good as the first season but it's nice...


same. people just need to understand that the first op set the bar too high for any other songs to top it. i mean on several big anime countdowns the op got in the top 10 of best anime openings of the year.

Destroy the organization from within perhaps, or rule it... There is a bunch of options since it doesn't follow the manga.

This article and PV
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-10-11/tokyo-ghoul-2nd-anime-season-video-teases-new-story-by-creator/.79825
Staff list in the official website.It's exactly said original draft by ishida sui.
http://www.marv.jp/special/tokyoghoul/staff.html
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.

So the "original draft" was meant manuscript for root A, but not for the manga right? Then,sorry for my misunderstanding.

This is just a theory but I can see the ending as an all out war between CCG and Aogiri. I have a feeling Kaneki is using Aogiri as a means to unite ghouls and humans.

I really wanted to see the scene from the manga where Kaneki breaks half of the bones in Ayato's body.... so i was kinda disappointed about that. And at the end I was surprised when he said he was joining Aogiri right off the bat.... again totally not what happened in the anime. I still really liked the episode though, an at least a good bit of Kaneki's badassness showed through. Loved the ending too.

op was fine, maybe it'll grow on me, really pretty though with the flowers.

ishida said he drew the ed himself, is that toukaneki at the bottom?

well, I know I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up, but Kaneki seemed out of character this episode. At least they could explain why he joined aogiri.

My biggest complaint though is not including the 103 bone scene. I wanted to see that animated. (mostly because I hate ayato)

103 bones? Where?
in the manga, kaneki doesn't want to kill ayato because he's touka's brother, so he decides to half-kill him. breaking 203 bones would kill someone, so kaneki deliberately breaks 1/2 of his body.

I thought it was a really good episode... and I'm actually glad they're going with an anime original story instead of following the manga. At least no one will be able to bitch and moan about "the anime not following the manga correctly". And it's kind of exciting to not know what's going to happen next. Like I really wasn't expecting Kaneki to

The only letdown for me is the OP; it's terrible.

Ow and no censoring. JEEJ!

Mmmm, that was quite interesting. I kind of wonder why he would join Aogiri. In fact, what does Aogiri fight for? Did he join them because he didn't want the Antique to be targeted again? With his hair white, he's pretty easy to reconize now. Well, they could have dyed it, but why hair as cool as that? :P

Poor Touka, can't catch a breath. After being humiliated and completely beaten by her borther, she lost the only member who could understand both the ghoul and the human world.

I'm not sure about why they exploded the whole building. It seemed planned since long ago. It also seemed related to the weird mask guy who didn't defend himself.

So the old man is the owl. But I thought the owl was a one-eyed like Kaneki? Or did I misread?

Am I the only one who loves the OP. Well, of course, I'm not the only one (t'was a metaphor), but I liked its bizarreness. Yeah, I know it had some weird subtitle, but past that...

Completely unexpected for Kaneki to join Aogiri.

Not sure why people hate the OP, it's probably my top opening within the past year. Guess you gotta like that genre. Dammit, I already want the full song.

Still, don't like the changed scenes even if it is an original story for this sequel.

Started off pretty decent so I hope it disappoints me.

Yeah I'm pretty sure Aogiri Tree is a pretty exclusive club and Kaneki had no prior interaction with any of the other members besides Jason (who only saw Kaneki as a plaything) and Ayato (who seems to hate him). Unless they decide to shoehorn something that makes what happened at the end make sense this is all very confusing.

Meh episode. I'm really disappointed. 2/5. I already went ahead in the manga, so I knew a lot of what was going to happen. Given the manga material, I expected this to be really good, but it was meh. I'm glad they brought Hide back, though, because he seems to have been forgotten in the manga. But other than that, it sucked.

I really liked this. I mean the entirety, the feeling, the art, the music... I loved that it concentrated on artistical outcome of the battle and different imotions. It kind of alleviates Kaneki's transformation, both physical and emotional.

The OP was amazing, I loved the silent effectiveness of it. Not all openings need a flashy colours and bombarding images. The ED was also beutiful.

Yes, I feel confused, a lot actually, but I think this episode is supposed to let you feel that way. The explanations are certainly coming in future episodes. I for once enjoy the feeling that you don't understand everything but accept it.

Here's what's pissing me off. I read the manga, so I knew what was going on. But I felt like to anyone who hasn't read the manga, this episode would be really confusing and wouldn't make much sense.

Also, I didn't like the changes they made. One specific part that's pissing me off is when Kaneki pulling the mask out and put it on after eating Yamori's kagune. Where would he get the mask from? He didn't have it. It just magically appeared? In the manga, Uta gave it to him, but in the episode it just appeared?

By the way. I'm really glad that I don't read the mangas before watching the animes. It seems that no-one is ever happy with any way the anime turns out, because it isn't exactly like the manga. (I have the same feeling with novels adaptated in movies, I always like the books more).

So I'm happy to watch anime without any lingering expectations. With this episode it was nice just to watch the aftermath of the battle without knowing what is to come, and without knowing the answers of all the questions.

Op is garbage.

Animation is really poor. Background are good.

They cut so many badass scene for Kaneki.

2/5

Pierrot is still trash. White Fox > Pierrrrrot. If someone dont agree with me then must be blind person.

Anime will be diffrent than manga. This idea may be good but as long as pierrot is doing still this series than I dont have any hope.

Tbh I've read the manga, and I'm honestly liking where the anime is going. It's following a parallel universe so I wouldn't mind the changes. The only 2 disappointing things in the ep was the OP and how the 103 bones breaking was skipped. I guess i kinda understand why they did that though. Kaneki was going to join Aogiri. If Kaneki broke Ayato's bones, then it would have been bad for Kaneki to join Aogiri.

Not true. It IS possible to make the anime as good or better than the manga-original. Attack on titan, Hunter x Hunter, Gintama, Kuroko no Basket & Haikyuu for some recent examples.

As for the episode. The OP was ughh. The first half was actually pretty awesome. Then there was Ayato vs Kaneki goodness and... no 103 bones. Then all of the excitement just left me and the rest felt just so goddamn dissapointing.

Honestly, I've mixed feeling. On the one hand I'm actually kinda interested how this will continue with Aogiri tree and Eto <3 but on the other hand I'm so sad that the manga epicness won't be coming...
