I feel like this episode would have been a better season one finale. The actual finale feels just like a regular episode. This one felt more conclusive.

Is this series heavily censored? If so, I'm going to wait for BD to come out.

The OP is crap both in terms of music and visuals. Dont match atmosphere of the anime at all. Looks like romcom Op....

That was quite disappointing!! While first season was quite enjoyable, focusing on social questions-finding place in society (through becoming ghoul which can we easily replace with any minority) the second starts with pointless fighting (oh yeah, good evil over bad evil,lol)... It's has potential to get dropped easily!!!

Well, let's see how much of a train wreck this season became (according to many users here and Manga readers). What I like about Tokyo Ghoul is the badass designs. Makes me wonder how everything would have turned out if Studio Pierrot had adapted the Manga properly. (Of course, it would be good).
Well, like the first season, I really like both opening and ending song. Fuck me cause I actually think that the opening song fits the Anime. Don't know about you guys. I really like the visuals, too. It's artistic as fuck. Beautiful.
Kaneki is acting all badass now. He better not whine anymore. Let's see.

Finnaly got around to watching the second season and it's looking good especially that moment at the end when touka tried to catch up to kaneki was pretty amazing. I feel like the opening and the ending are swapped but both are decent. Ending better though.

Now that Kaneki's all hot-shot, I think I fell for him. Loved his new look, and his voice, and his hell of an attitude!
But I've got no clue why he's heading out to Aogiri.For answers, maybe? Let's see.
Suzuya is so creepy e.e
Those snowfall art-effects...took my breath away! Loved 'em!

I watched the prequel a long time ago and did not get jack shit from this episode. Wtf just happened. It was random people fighting over and a familiar white haired guy for me, the whole episode. What is it with the guy who rides the bicycle around? Why did the big ghoul in roof saved 2 anti-ghoul officers' lives? Why join Aogiri or whatever it is?

IRRC, this white hair guy was almost eaten the last episode and I have no idea how it got here.

finally decided to watch the second season of this.
meh. The OP looked pretty yes, but it was one scene with changing backgrounds. Low budget, boring, and poor song choice.

"Clowns always get the last laugh." Okay Studio Pierrot, we get it.

just realized that the anime only watchers will never see the awesome "ill half kill you / i break 103 of your bones" scene?

the anime once again pales in comparison to the manga and kanekis decision makes no fucking sense.

2/5 but im sure it will be another 8.0+ on MAl cause as usual ppl hype this shit up into oblivion.

So many new characters this won't end well.

You know, too many cooks will spoil the broth!

Only 2 new characters were introduced in this episode. The rest were already in the first season but yeah they did a pretty bad job introducing them so I can't blame you if you forgot.


It's not about new characters to be fair.
More about characters just popping into the anime (before √A) that never were introduced properly.
So yeah it's kind of confusing as to who is who, how'd they end up there ... etc.

For the first episode though ... an alright episode, continued from the last episode of the last season (which had a lot of questions unanswered)
Weird seeing Kaneki joining Aogiri though, thought he was more about being around friends (Anteiku)

Fights were pretty cool, albeit a bit short.
CCG prototype suits, Noro just casually walking away from a fight (laughed my ass of at that scene) and dont forget about Juuzou walking around with a body whilst the building was crumbling down :D

that OP was sooo bad.

okay I don't even exactly know where the first season left off because that's so long ago and I'm too lazy to check. So right now I'm confused as fuck. All these characters that I don't remember, Kaneki doing crazy shit. I'm just hoping as the show goes on, it will all come back to me.

Anyway I don't plan to take this show as seriously as I did the first season. They fucked up the first season and I heard they just went on and straight-up butchered this one. So there goes my hope for a show with a good story that follows the source material. But, as long as I see Kaneki doing some badass shit I'm cool... maybe.

OP is shit. Prefer 1st ED, but 2nd ED is good.

I guess this was an ok episode.
If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).

The opening was horrible. The 1st season's op was great.
The episode was good, but I don't understand why Kaneki wanted to leave his friends. And I don't like his new personality either.

What I just saw:
An opening who succeeded in being even more appalling than the first series one.
Bunch of action who directly followed the previous episode and then a 180º turnaround with the final revelation who comes out of nowhere without even the slightest start of a reason why. Did he turned SSJ and is craving for fights now (Gohan-like)?
An enjoyable ending.

2/5 1 would be too hard because it is only the (re)start.

Jesus people really hate the OP huh? I actually like it, obviously Unravel was better but this one is original and different from all the other "let's pack as much action and face bashing as possible in one minute and thirty seconds". It's calm, it's artistic. The song is pretty good too, I like how it goes from childhood memories to death and prostitutes. Really fits Kaneki's story.

That being said... vA sucks. This episode was a good start but it just goes downhill from here. I'll try to rewatch this anyways just for the sake of it because I just reread the manga.

That was something!
Took part right after season 1, ( this i dont understand, but wha ever) rushed fighting scene, but rather decent.
The OP, Seriously hurt my ears listing to n watching.. and from how good the last season was.. i rather become a vampire then listen to that again!! ED in other hand, WHERE IS THAT SONG! Why is it not in my phone yet!!?? love the ED the sound just amazing n the visual, incredible!

Anyway, so far so good, A really changed Kaneki, looks like he's going to Aogiri after all. didnt/did expect that after been reading a little bit of the season one n forward before starting.
Also quite curious about the "owl" who is he, what is so crazy about him? hope to know more about him later on?
cause MAL is doing there job for once.

It's been a while since I've watched season 1 and my first things I've noticed about this series are this.

1. The OP is rubbish.
2. I don't remember half of the characters, which probably says a lot of how much I was paying attention to them in season 1.

Overall I didn't like this episode. So after being tortured by his enemies in the first season Kaneki decides to join them. Uhh why? Like season 1 nothing is explained. The building collapse just came out of nowhere. What caused it? Did a earthquake come all of a sudden magically damaging only that one building while leaving the rest of the city intact? Was it rigged with explosives? Did that large ghoul (whoever it was I don't remember) somehow cause it? Ughh...

I didn't like season 1 because it felt like a whole series of short episodic stories stuck together with duct tape and sadly it looks as though Root A is heading in the same direction. Nevertheless I shall press on for now.
Bondrewd did nothing wrong.

Rahhhh, that OP in comparison to the previous season made me weep silent tears of anti-climax, frustration.

However, as someone who hasn't actually read the manga and as such has nothing to compare this episode to, I thought it was pretty decent I suppose. Although from previous comments by the manga-readers, the parts they missed out do sound pretty badass and I kinda wish I'd got to see it. Am definitely going to pick it up now and get reading.

Kanekis white hair & attitude was neat, I feel refreshed finally!

Definitely interested to see where this is going tbh.

The previous season left off incompleted, no matter how awesome it was, and I was disappointed that I wouldn't get to see the cast's reaction to Whitehaired!Ken. But then, above and beyond all expectations, this season began where the previous had left off! I'm glad for that.

Also, I really miss the old opening. It was one of my favorites.
