Is it just me or does anyone have a love-hate relationship with Tokyo Ghoul?When I first watched the series i was blown away by it.It kinda touched my heart in a way and I kept thinking about it for days.But as the time passed I started to dislike Tokyo Ghoul.I think it was because it got more popular and overhyped that it started to annoy me.I had this attachment to TG but when normies started spamming it as the greatest anime ever.Still though whenver I listen to its OSTs,I still feel the same way I used to when I first watched.Sometimes when I think about it,it gets on my mind for days and I keep thinking about it.

I remember my edgy teenager years, composing of Kaneki Ken Steam profile, edgy conversation with my friends and chunibyou delusions, which I still have and will stand by it because it's fun. Good times.

Wasn't it always popular though, it was the face of that year.

Lol I don't get why you're so fixated on other people's opinions. With what you're saying, I can definitely see that as being annoying, sure I'll give you that, but I wouldn't go as far as to say that it's enough to make me start liking the anime less.

Not at all, the show overtime has become a baby's first taste of being critical so you being like that does not surprise me one bit, it's a great show and time has done it no wrong.

Pretty sure most of the love hate comes from how SP adapted the show from the manga. The adaptation skipped on a lot of parts (especially rootA), which would expectedly piss off a lot of source material readers. Plus there's also the fact that TG is one of the better seinen series' out there, so that only serves to fuel the polarity

TBH I feel like people are hating on it only because of how garbage the anime adaptations were. The manga is so much better & the anime is a huge insult to the masterpiece by Sui Ishida

I like that it brings new anime fans. I really like that people like it and that it helps them to watch more anime... It definitely seems to be a starter series. One which people don’t just watch that series but they watch a lot of others. So I think that part of it makes me happy.

Popular doesn't =bad. If you think if a show is bad because it's popular then lower your Death Note rating.
The word elitist is stupid since it's just used by people who can't defend their favorite shows and use it on people who criticize their favorite shows.

I have not read the manga, possibly I would like it. I mean I do like some manga more than anime... But I don’t think a bad adaptation really means a bad anime. And since I struggle to like it from episode one... I don’t know man. Most anime I dislike from the first episode just really have a hard time inspiring me to read the manga. Attack on Titan was a different case mostly because I liked the first half of season one. I can believe that the manga is better a little more if it was just a one episode OVA. Or I like the premise but not execution.

It is a bad show, but that's about it , nothing worth hating , after all most otaku are prepubescent and hype over anything that tries to be mature but is in fact just filled with cheap modalities as sprinkling za gore and nudity to appeal to their tiny naive souls.

I'm not saying that popular anime is bad...
The first season of Tokyo Ghoul is probably one of my favourites ever.It was such a great show.What I'm trying to say here is that when I move away from it and watch other anime,I start disliking it but when I come back to it,it's just like I'm watching it for the first time.I love it like I did when I watched it for the first time.Don't get me wrong but I think it's great.But it sometimes overshadows other good shows and takes the top place in the normies' anime rankings.Everywhere I go Tokyo Ghoul is called great,kaneki profile pictures,hailing Unravel as the greatest OP of all time.It gets annoying.

Why would it bother you? I mean, you should be happy when people talk about your favorite anime. It gets more seasons and you can have nice conversations since everyone knows it.

Btw you start disliking it when you dont watch it because you probably get influenced by other people's opinions easily. I've seen a lot of haters of the show. Stop caring about them and your life will be easier

Originally when first saw it I thought it was like, M-rated Danny Phantom, and the first manga provided context for certain events, including how the main character dealt with his trauma, but the first anime SPED through the chapters, rearranging events and adding plot holes. Still, it was enjoyable and at times had a good atmosphere.

Season 2 straight up sucked. Aside from the terrible animation and directing, It proves hodgepodging an adaptation is never a good idea. They took the one nice thread (Kaneki’s internal crisis) both sidelining it and removing all humanity or empathy I had from the manga or first anime. I won’t know about :Re until that airs next season but my expectations are fairly low.

Don't deny your feelings over what others feel. If you like her, don't let others deny your own choice. Happiness is when you can decide for you own, because it is real. Get real, not jump on a bandwagon because it will never end.

On topic, I find Tokyo Ghoul as a good anime, a bit boring here and there but I wouldn't mind watching a third or fourth season.

Yes. In terms of the anime I can't help but enjoy it while hating how bad it actually is adaptation wise. It's the reason why I hate Pierrot so much and gives me no reason to believe that they'll actually adapt Re: faithfully whatsoever and with that in mind I know I'll still enjoy the anime.

Loved the anime (let's not talk about /A though) and loved the manga even more. Then :re came along, was good for a while but has now turned to complete shit. So, yes, in a way I do have a love/hate relationship with the series.

I'm another person who loved the original TG manga. I had even higher expectations for :RE considering the jawdropping ending of the first, but no matter how much I read it never really clicked the same way the original did. I couldn't bring myself to continue after that one infamous chapter that read too much like fanfiction.

So its like love -> falling out of love situation for me :(

The animation of the third season is different from the first two season and it kinda sucks.It looks CGI-ish and not hand drawn and it's too shiny and the characters have pointy chins now.

I'm one of the weird people who liked season 2 better than season 1, so I guess I kinda fit your description as well in a sense. I disliked it after watching season 1 and thought about dropping it but then season 2 made me like it again.

Impressions
The first anime adaptation were alright.
After reading Manga i realised it's a trash due amount of scene cut.
Again it's kinda edgy on both anime and Manga.
2nd season in particular is a trash
Also ost aren't same as op/ed. I am quite sure these people when i mentioned about TG always remember about Oshiete Oshiete lmao.

1st Manga end, 2nd one came and somehow it's more matured than the 1st one, less edgy and stuff gets more complicated compared the 1st one. I liked Tokyo ghoul re.
With the anime adaptation announced, i already know it'll be a disappointment lul
