| Good episode. Wasn’t expecting them to play unravel. |
| Lost my shit when Unravel started to play |
| Wait, is this the same series I've been watching since these last few weeks? It somehow feels different. Just changed my score from 7 to 8 for this season; this episode really nailed it. I love it! They managed to pack several materials in one episode without any notable skipped parts. Not to mention lot of the emotions shown on Urie & Mutsuki, Suzuya & Big Madam, Shirazu & Nutcracker, Hina & Kaneki, and Takizawa & Haise. Whoa, that's a lot but I can't get enough of. Sen Takatsuki is coming next episode?! *scream* I can't remember that scene from the manga, but if it means I could see her soon, I'll embrace it gratefully! :) |
I just realized that all of my favorite characters, beside being stunningly beautiful, also happen to be exceptionally skilled murder machines. \('-')/ I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges. |
| did they just cutout juuzou backstory? |
 |
| Hinami surely has turned into a beautiful and strong woman now. <3 Now that we got their backstories, I finally understand the characters. It must be hard for Shirazu to kill Nutcracker after hearing her last words, and Suzuya too regarding his adoptive parent. So glad to see Eto and the manager in the preview. Seems like they are bringing the old characters into the show one by one. |
I watch anime for the fan service plot since I don't really like ecchi but it just so happens that it is included in mostly the good shows I like. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
gowphnx45 said: Am I the only one wondering what Saiko actually did to defeat the Nutcracker? Or Is it some kind of future reveal? I am also curious about how true the adaptation is so far? Without spoilers if you can please. The adaptation honestly isn't too terrible so far beyond some skipped scenes and some little moments (Haise touching his chin when talking to Arima, Juuzou calling Big Mama "Father" to name a couple) but it is rushed. They aren't introducing anime-original nonsense like Root A, so its a faithful adaptation in that sense but it is still very rushed. I don't know how they expect to fit the next arc into this season. |

| Probably the best episode in this bad adaptation so far. I did like how Unravel was playing in the background during the "fight" between Takizawa and Kaneki. |
 |
| Bringing back the 1st season's OP as an insert song was rather cheesy and a lot less impactful than it should have been for me. |
~my list
| Unravel felt out of place. I guess at this point we can't really expect much quality animated fights either. Well, it seems we'll be done with this part after this episode. |
Jacksworld said: Neither. Takizawa as you may remember was a fully human ghoul investigator and is Dr Kanou's latest experiment. Kaneki was made from Rize (Binge Eater) but he made his own identity so he was never called anything in relation to her. I won't spoil who Takizawa's ghoul half came from, but the name is a reference to that. Not a species or sub species. It's like how both Touka and Ayato are rabbits. So its an experimental creation? |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| I hate to be one of those guys... but this episode was kind of wack and bad. Damn, I hate to say it. Look, I never read one page out of the re: manga, but I can tell this just aint working. Everything might be adapted as well as possible, but it just doesn't translate to me. It feels like I'm reading the most boring sparknotes page ever. I don't know how to describe it. It has like no emotion to me. Only very few parts. Like Hina's dialogue in this episode or Juuzou's very brief flash back. I could slightly feel those things in this episode. But everything else? Nope. I didn't feel it. I feel like Saiko should have had a very intense moment seeing and hearing Haise getting bodied like that. I can tell that she's very close to Haise. It's clear as day after this episode, yet I didn't feel sad for her at all. Urie having that break down. Mutsuki sharing the same feeling, and showing the audience that hey. These two characters are hurting. Yes, you're telling me that they're hurting, but I dont feel any empathy. Not because I'm a dick or anything, but because it's coming off so stale. Dude, they even tried to get something out of nutcracker for us. "I want to be pretty." Okay? This is supposed to be an emotional episode. I'm not here for the fighting. I'm watching the anime for the damn feels. I aint feel nothin! Kaneki and Haise. That should be intense right? They even put on unravel. I rolled my eyes! Unravel is just pure nostalgia. I can't be tricked by a cheap tactic like that. That's what grown-ups do to their children to trick them to being happy. You put any other music on, and the scene doesn't get anything from the most of us. It isn't as powerful. But you put on unravel, and you expect me to feel anything? Nah. You can't be that lazy. The music didn't even feel like it matched. This is just not it and I'm honestly a bit disappointed because I know for a fact that the story is actually good even if I haven't read the manga. And I just feel like they're not giving us the story the way it was meant to be told. And it's not like they're incapable of doing it either. I remember the Touka/Haise scene was very touching and moving. Sigh. Whatevs. but Imma still watch episode 7 tho lol. and 8-12, too. edit: edited to make post more condensed and coherent. Also some typo corrections. Removed one part that was semi-spoilerish after giving it some thought. |

| Probably the worst adapted episode so far excluding episode 1. I feel like the staff knew that and were like "hey, maybe if we toss unravel in there in the last fight scene people will get hyped and overlook everything else"...turns out they were wrong on both counts. People still picked out the flaws, and people actually didn't want to her unravel placed in there randomly like they haven't noticed that the OST has been dogshit so far. There was no reason for Urie not to openly say that Mutsuki was a woman. As readers and viewers, we knew this way back when she was first attacked by Torso, and then again when she had to dress up in the nightclub. The moment was just meant to show that someone on the squad finally knew the truth. There was also no need to make Saiko look useful either. It's not her time yet. Dont rewrite her character for no reason. The Nutcracker stuff was actually done well. Shirazu sensing the Kagune in the wall was actually better explained and elaborated on here than it was in the manga, and they did a good job with the "I wanted to be beautiful" part. Hope they dont fuck up what follows. And then there was the cringey unravel fight. At least it tried to look cool. Was way overdone and unnecessary, but hey, they tried. EvilDevilJEF said: This is what we got from pierrot : A bad adaptation with a normal or even almost a good animation with very good ost (TG S1) A bad adaptation with a bad animation but still have a good ost (TG Root A) A Normal adaptation with a very bad animation and an almost bad OST ( TG:RE) Yea this is pretty much it in a nutshell. ^ Remember this quote people. RemnantMemory said: oh, Unravel is more of a cult thing now that played everytime epic things happen :P well, that was underwhelming, I thought the fight should be more epic and badass than that, feels like the build up is for nothing. you know, the moment you're hyping so much that the nravel plays but the fight ends up with just one thrust. they handle Amon and Jason fight better than this imo... and is it just me or does Takizawa mask placing is inconsistence? one moment it cover his right face, another it cover his left face.. or is it just camera angle? still epic episode tho, just fall a bit low on the execution side for me Yea kind of hard for the fight to be epic when it was pretty much anime original. In the manga Haise really doesn't do much better, and then Arima and some other doves end up stepping in and Aogiri retreats. That looks to still happen in the beginning of next week's episode, it just happened without the filler in the manga. |

(i mean I already know his/her identity since someone spoiled it in the discussion thread back in episode 2 or whatever, but that was just so freaking random.) but Imma still watch episode 7 tho lol. and 8-12, too. A lot of points you mentioned are the truth. As a manga reader, I can tell you that they are trying very hard to get through the content for the sole reason of progressing the storyline, without properly building up the story for the viewers. The lack of emotion, empathy is because they are spending literally a small portion of the episode focused on it(ie. Hina's relationship with Ken, Urie's need for achievement, Haise's internal struggle, Takizawa's envy of Mado..etc) This is unfortunate, because the source material is actually top notch. |
| Best episode so far of this season. Come on get your memories back Kaneki. |

Taste in anime does not make you a better person. Totally agree! |
| I really want to like the Anime but honestly it's infuriating to watch. The only interesting part is when Juuzou comes on screen, because the entire Quinx crew is a bunch of weak-ass crybabies. How they were deemed strong enough to be a squad is beyond me. Also, just erase Haise and bring out Kaneki already. |
| Unravel yes!!!!!!!!! |
| BRAWLERS |
Ambby16 said: Kinda wish that Kaneki would just come back, that’s all I’m waitin for. Him to reunite with everyone and be with touka, T.S. kinda messy how haise came to be and I’m honestly watching this season to see how kaneki comes back If that's all you want then I will save you some time :P All things from spoiler tab are from manga. Just friendly warning for those who didn't want to be spoil :P Episode was ok. Some fights, some cut out text like Juuzo saying to Big Mama that's just his job and saying "Farewell... father" to her. Also didn't we get flashback with Shirazu's sister after Nuts death ? (or it was later?). Scarecrows mumbling was weird, but hey Saiko !:D Some Hinami badass moments there (she matured well :P), |

| Best episode so far and Unravel is back...it synced so well that I got the chills. |
 |
| Disappointed, how dare you waste the music of legend on this bad execution? sad face |
| I was surprised by Hina. I didn't expect her to save Kaneki. |
Daniel_Naumov said: Emerald_Winter said: And why would she? There was really no (even far fetched) inclination she would rush to his help. She joins villains, helps that deranged kid, suddenly Kaneki is getting attacked by him, and she switches side in a less than a full second. "PlOt CoNsIsTeNcY".I was surprised by Hina. I didn't expect her to save Kaneki. I haven't read the manga so I have no idea if that's what really happened or not. |
| Yoooo! finally a good episode. The fight between Nutcracker and Shirazu had some decent animation i liked it Sadly though... the fight between kaneki and the owl was underwhelming in terms of directing and animation. Where is the budget going if not in a moment like this? Just compare this to kaneki vs jason when unravel started playing LOL. When i heard unravel playing i was expecting something like that Gotta say though, hearing unravel got me hyped as fuck. Much much better episode than the previous weeks in terms of plot and animation. Still a lot of room for improvement though. |

| *just watches the whole episode with a blank look on face and then unravel plays and goes OSHIETE OSHIETE YO* what have u done with the animation animators? |
 |
| oh yesss nostalgia, Unravel played Animation looks like improved though choopy and reduced frames is still there, and fight scenes oh well *sighed*, But anyway they did a decent job on intrapersonal conflict scenes of Urie and Haise. Urie scene remind me of kaneki's rampage when he's fighting nishio on season 1. And to Haise's persona confrontation with white-haired kaneki and white-haired? kid kaneki, can't wait to see the next arc animated to emphasized that, the arc where the start of real sh*ts about to go down. Damn those kaneki screams I've missed it xD thanks Hanae Water colored white-haired kaneki at the end, is that an ishida special |

| They played Unravel to create the illusion that this was a good episode. Nice try, Pierrot. You actually fooled some people. |
marmondesu said: did they just cut out juuzou backstory? They did the same with some scenes before the auction, they only showed color screenshots. Yes, it seems that they cut it out, it happens in a later chapter, but there was a screenshot from that scene, so I guess they really did it. And Ayato beheading 2 random investigators was cut too. Username57 said: They played Unravel to create the illusion that this was a good episode. Nice try, Pierrot. You actually fooled some people. Nostalgia is powerful. Yet unravel is the official theme song of both tg anime and manga. Yes, it is that perfect that they use it in manga commercials, plus Ishida himself asked the band to do the song. I bet that Ling Tosite Sigure read the entire manga and conveyed what they felt. No Takizawa murderous rape face from chapter 31. I'm very disappointed. |

| There was no more money and you saw that the audience was going down so you decided to bring back Unravel. You're doing wrong Pierrot, you're doing wrong... I could have enjoyed the last episodes but with this one we can sadly see that the quality has decreased. |

Daniel_Naumov said: Emerald_Winter said: I haven't read the manga so I have no idea if that's what really happened or not. Neither did I. Yet whatever happened there without a doubt provides way more consistency than what happened in the animation. Ah well I think I should start reading the manga to make certain things clear for me. Although I really liked the episode. |
