Welp, that got dark fast. The action picked up a lot this episode
Sasaki's group did well although I wish they featured more of Saiko.

I kinda like the music they used during some of the action scenes in particular the second half of the episode. Everyone wants to show off their Ghoul powers. Sasaki had to go up againt a tough opponent (not to mention, a pretty crazy one at that)

OMG! why they have to do this when we finally got to the important stuff? not just the animation, the art style is... I don't know what to say, even tho the art style in the previous 4 episode was good, they fu*ked up everything in this episode, this is was the most episode I was excited for and it's now the first episode that got me really disappointment ="(

What does that mean? I haven't watched the episode, so I'm not sure. Is @ILoveDonuts post supposed to be a sarcasm?
I just realized that all of my favorite characters, beside being stunningly beautiful, also happen to be exceptionally skilled murder machines. \('-')/

@crystal-frost Not meant to be sarcasm. I was watching the japanese broadcast, there was some choppiness but i attributed it to the stream. Compared to previous episodes, there were far less still frames with more animation. Art style wise, that's pretty debatable so won't go into that.

Due to how they rearranged some fights here and there, it's anywhere from 2.5~ - 4.

Haise and the squad sure made a timely appearance to save Mutsuki. Though the ghouls have many skilled fighters within their ranks looks like the CCG's veterans are starting to turn the tide. Urie really likes to take risks huh. Owl looks to be a formidable opponent thats for sure. An interesting episode that continues the action packed battle that last episode kicked off.

I guess you can split this Episode up into 2 parts.

Part 1 was just bad. When Im watching TG:re, I always go in open minded and try to enjoy it to the fullest and I am enjoying the series atm. But the first part was really shit. The Art design was crap and the still frames still dominated the action scenes which annoyed me.

Part 2 was alot better. The animation started to pick up, the amount of still frames were reduced and the art got better.

I would give it a 7/10. Takizawa and the second part really carried this episode.

Now, I AM VERY EXCITED TO SEE THE NEXT EPISODE! The cliffhanger and preview got me pumped!!

Well, I don't remember well but it seems like they didn't skip so many things from the manga. While the adaptation isn't that bad, I think that the animation is the big issue, if they were a new studio it would be understandable...

Getting this out of the way...After reaching close to the halfway point of this cour,it's clear that the visual quality is just going to stay inconsistent. I think this is especially true for the art. Pacing is whatever like usual, but I've honestly lost interest in watching this as a manga reader. Next episode looks promising content wise, so I'll wait it out, but another okay-ish episode 3/5:P

Another episode with action, but this time way darker. Owl is a crazy psycho, he wants meat. The scenes with him were tense.

Other than that, Doves vs Ghouls everywhere. Nutcracker is a clever ghoul, and her methods to kill *sigh*. Urie wanting to show off to get recognized, but he is in big troubles. Madame has a big mouth LOL.

That ending, well is time for another fight with a cliffhanger. Sasaki is against a psycho. The animation was better in this episode.

The pacing is good, I think they adapted the manga really well in this episode if I remember correctly the did not skip anything important.
This was the first episode I enjoyed so far. Looking forward to the next one.
In the other hand animation is really awful..

The animation in the 2nd half of this episode looked good and the OST to accompany it was actually great.

This was an episode full of action and whilst the first half still had inconsistent animation, I thought this episode was decent.

This is not a sequel to root a , this is a sequel to part 1 of the tokyo ghoul manga so if you want to understand what is happening you have 2 choices :
1- Read the manga (Best choice) and you will understand everything
2- See spoilers for tokyo ghoul manga and search (not the best choice really)

ehh.

the action continues to disappoint with average animation.

Can't say that i care about the plot.. just random characters fighting one another.

Next episode needs TO PICK UP. Sasaki vs Takizawa must be something big with good animation or i will be depressed. Seriously loved Tokyo ghoul but this so far is not even close to the older seasons. (except episode 2 which was a banger)

The OST that played during the final sequence was so bad what the hell.

Takizawa was even more cringy in this episode than Kanae's "german"...

Well, I'm certainly done giving this waste of space of an anime any more time to change my opinion. For such a battle-focused series, Pierrot has really managed to fuck up all the fights they've done so far with only the barest of animations. Dropped.

Root A doesn't even exist haha Just ignore it, you're not supposed to assume anything from there. This anime is a sequel to the first manga, not Root A.

Hm, again I wasn't really impressed by this episode. Hopefully that can change next week (but I won't keep my hopes up).

At least the battles are somewhat entertaining, even if the animation isn't always the best.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

I am done with this. I don't really feel anything while watching this anime. Everything just feels lifeless and "plastic" to me and nothing feels impactful. Pacing is weird and way too fast. Animation is bad, especially during action scenes. Feels like 50 episodes of Boruto filler had a better animation than this.

Anyone else who looks a girl that is actually a boy? I'm here thinking Toru and the Shizuka are girls and turns out they are boys. Who's next the cute blond girl?

Anyway decent episode. Urie is still annoying. Hopefully next ep is good.

yeah, there are like 3-4 characters that look like the opposite to the sex they are given, some of them are revealed later on, you'll see which ones

upd: i can feel that this anime is already dying just from the forum activity

How does the manga look smoother than the animation. I'm pissed the whole series has trash fight scenes until now not to mention the awkward position that some characters have in general ,although not in the episode itslef, a good example of this is haises position a the ending of the intro/opening. It pisses me off

Welcome to the first installment of "Urie gets the living crap beaten out of him".

Overall an alright episode if you compare it to previous ones (sadly that's what we have to do to make them look not terrible), Takizawa definitely carried the second half of it and animation was somewhat better (still not really good tho).

It disappoints me that we didn't see Saiko fight, would be pretty fun to see her just hit the ghouls with a hammer
I found Urie extremely annoying this episode (actually not just this episode) and the fact that he became so full of himself didn't help....

Biggest problem in this episode was the animation of course. But it’s not enough to ruin the episode for me. Everything in this episode was pretty much in the manga so I give it a 4/5.
