THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Didn't take long for a victim to get bloodied in this OVA.

The OVA focused on Shu. Oh God, I just love that voice of his and the music he played during his batshit insane moments in the second half. Glorious. Definitely worth watching if you're a Shu fan. Decent ED song as well. The animation quality was alright, although I liked the previous OVA's quality better.

Ugh why do all the faces in Tokyo Ghoul look horrendous?

Is it bad that the 10 seconds of Kagune shown in this OVA is better than anything we got in S2?

Either way this episode had some great HARMONY and it was nice to see some of Shuu's early years. Masume was a nice touch.

Is it just me but did Hori Chie seem like she was portrayed more cheerful than her manga and novel versions? Either way, OVA was worth watching though. Tsukiyama is always fun to watch.

Apparently men in their 90s are so rare that they are considered a treat. At least, that's how I understood it.

Pretty good ova, the insane moments and Shu's mood swings were fun to watch. Miyano did a great job voicing him. 8/10

I thought so as well, even though I haven't read the novel. Another thing that seemed odd to me is the fact that Matsumae was wearing a maid uniform lol.

Again I find myself more captivated by the TG OVAs than the series themselves. Great OVA. I just wish they could have put work like this in the series, I do acknowledge the amount they had to squeeze in, but wow if Season 3 could be like this. I would have more respect for the anime adaptation.

Yet again, an OVA managed to be better than the entire season of Root A.

Mamoru Miyano's performance during the scenes where Shu was just batshit crazy made me remember exactly why he's one of my favorite VAs.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

The art quality was certainly a notch down when compared to the Jack ova but it was still adapted decently I guess. A few changes here and there but nothing really major to get worked over. Mamoru Miyano's performance as Shuu was great as always.

7/10

What are you confused about? It's how Shuu and Chie became friends through an interest in each other.

These Pierrot lads probably can't adapt Tokyo Ghoul properly even if it meant saving their lives.
If anything, it still had that slick OST and that epic voice-acting from Miyano Mamoru.

This OVA was better than the whole TG Season 2 and some episodes of S1. I'm actually impressed with this even if the animation quality wasn't all that great. The music was awesome and the characters themselves were amazing as well. I can't say this was better than the whole of TG S1 because this only has 1 episode while I based my rating on TG S1 by rating each individual episode and then taking the average. Rating for this episode is 8.5/10 .

LOL @all pissed manga readers xDDD

It was pretty mediocre imho. Nothing like the series, there was no action, no tension because of the boring new character (the loli) with absolutely no emotion (no time for explaining sh*t, hmm?). The nurse was fun lol, but if you think about it: 2edgy4me.

This is this kind of OVA, which you watch and get nothing out of it. About the same level as Jack.

Dorito chins

Molestation of the French language

No insight into Chie's character or background

Who even were those bitches he was talking to

All girls have a crush on Tsukiyama although he's obviously gay

Gore porn just for the sake of gore porn

Etc

Can't give it anything else than 1/10

Is Chie an important character elsewhere in Tokyo Ghoul or is this her only appearance? The whole thing would seem quite pointless if it is the latter.

Like Jack, this was a decent OVA which adds insight into some characters who really needed it.

Besides that I have to say that I really enjoy that OVA, definitely nothing what I expected and damn again a great performance delivered by Miyano Mamoru, it make me like even more that crazy bastard Tsukiyama.

Well I understood what they were saying so meh.

Chie's so friggin cute <3 I just love how little shits she gives. Even taking pics when she was being thrown and while falling.

Shu and his harmony was great as ever. How I missed what Mamuro does with his character. So much fun. The brutality was amazing too
