Yatsume said: Just noticed that in the opening, Kaneki's eyepatch is on his normal eye instead of his Ghoul one. I wonder if it's symbolic of Kaneki accepting being half-Ghoul or something else. Isn't his eyepatch always on his normal eye when he has his mask on to hide the fact he's a half-ghoul? Anyway, low quality episode, but glad to see we have Amon's backstory and many confrontations. Akira is bitten by Naki which made Amon carry her out. Juuzo meets his old friends, Kuro and Shiro. Ayato's going to fight Shinohara who's using Arata as armor. Shachi beating up Kaneki which results in Centipede Kaneki. At least we know Kaneki still cares for Anteiku. Hopefully, quality gets better. But I guess I enjoyed. (^_^) |

Theorder14 said: I wonder why the ghouls go down so easily by gunshots. It was stated in the manga that guns have little effect on ghouls and that's why they made quinques. >.> special bullets on a side note, great episode, however the action wasn't animated very well. it was like someone turned off the gravity, cause like when they'd jump they'd like float in the air for much longer than necessary.. nice to see kaneki actually acting like kaneki. he seemed sorta out of character these past few eps. |
 |
| The fights did not seem as intense as the first season. |

GreenBenjamin said: Too many people here are ignoring the QUALITY in the whole 2nd season. Fixed for you. Can't even compare the overall quality in this season with the 1st season. |
 |
| It was good that that pace picked up but the dialogue is really lacking.. like attacking kaneki because he smelt like someone he knew ? ? |
 |
| I like the supporting character development this second season has, but I want a bit more development on Kaneki's side. The centipede was kinda random, like how long has he been in Aogiri at this point? A month or two? I hope they show what happened to him during this time, I doubt he just sprouted the thing after eating a bunch of ghouls and then losing a fight. Ishida's a better writer than that |

| I can't stand watching the horrible fight scenes. I laughed on how ugly the kagunes are (Kaneki's is the worst). I rolled my eyes after seeing the terrible pacing. That's it. I'm dropping this pile of shit. |
 |
| Did I miss something? Ken said I'm here to save you and then they start fighting? I don't get it? Gave it four episodes don't think I can do anymore. The lack of common sense is to great for me. I catch this when madhouse gets it's and makes an ten epic OVAs out of it. |

| Well ... The animation was kinda bad but aside from that the episode really good for me. Suzuya v KuroShiro - Shinohara v Ayato - Sachi v Kaneki - Akira+Amon v Naki (Maybe Tsukiyama will come). I found this episode really interesting. Can't wait for the next episode >_< 4/5 |
| How is CCG keeping ghouls alive in prisons ? Are they feeding them with human meat ? Im guessing it was explained in the manga, feel free to spoil me manga readers. I just find it really interesting. |
| As much as I liked seeing Centipede, why is he there? Where did that come from Kaneki? Why are we not following Kaneki in this anime anymore? So far we have only seen glimpses of Kaneki this whole time. I hope they explain next episode or at least show or something Kaneki's actual mental state because this just seems random. Besides Kaneki joining Aogiri I have yet to see how this anime is different from the manga. I don't see how this is a different route. All I see is, not matter what decision Kaneki makes the end result shall always be the same.... |

| boy was that animation rough made this hard to watch ,Centipede reveal so soon??? i wonder why they changed from the Lab to the CCG prison also. think the little bit i liked the most was finding out the inspectors Arata is Ayato's dad |
 |
| My my. Some fights are about to go down. |
| Kinda not feeling Kaneki as a protagonist anymore. we have no idea what he is doing and thinking, and i feel like the show will only explain eveything at the end which seem like a cop out.Atleast in other great animes , when Zero (code geass) and light (death note) were turning evil, we knew the reasoning and thought process behind it. I feel like This show messed up with developing Kaneki's thoughts and development. And is really okay with the killing of so much humans after the 1st season was much bout his inner conflict of not killing humans but now we dont even get to know how his mindset through everything. |

| Animation was absolutely horrid. The fight scenes were incredibly awkward to watch, very disappointed. I guess I can see now where the 'alternate' universe is heading, which leads me to believe that Tokyo Ghoul Re: will be animated because the end destination will be the same as the original manga. Still, the scenes were all jumbled and there was no flow, add in the terrible animation, and this episode was hard to watch. |
| That ending really made me wtf, in the end still a great episode though. |
  |
| Except for Ayato seeing the Arata quinque this episode was SO BAD. Horrible animation, the fights were painful to watch. They didn't look like fights at all. Why was Kaneki fighting Sachi? :l Centipede already? Was Kaneki eating ghouls like in the manga? Oh boy, I'm just waiting for Tokyo Ghoul: Brotherhood. |
| Disliked this episode. It just... felt very rushed, very forced, very out of place. Animation was bad, some stuff was adjusted from the manga in a bad way, other was just funny to watch. I honestly prefer the slow and steady feel the first three episodes gave off, this just looks like another Season 1 TG in the making. 2/5 NandoKpo said: I hope we get to see a good adaptation of Tokyo Ghoul in the future and not this low budget crap Probably not going to happen, at least as long as Pierrot is the studio animating Tokyo Ghoul. A second chance is something that everyone deserves, but if this keeps up, which hopefully it doesn't, then my opinion will be cemented: Pierrot should just stick to making Naruto fillers. |

| Yeah, I liked it, but kind of a confusing episode... Finally they pack up the action, but it was during that "on the budget" episode that the animation quality drops. It made the previous episodes look better even in the action department. The gunshots were really weird, I'm not sure about having humans on Aogiri, but apparently the one-eyed twins were implied human once too like Kaneki. Maybe that's the only way to become one-eyed. And Kaneki? Well, he's been hyped by the other characters to be strong now but was barely show to do cool stuff onscreen this season and just gets beaten up by a random new guy with no background or information on him rather than "he's in the badass prison". A bit of a letdown if you ask me. Sounded like in the end that he might be putting up a fight properly in the next episode but to me that was the biggest turn off in the episode. Don't make me believe he's changing from emo chump to badass action hero and dedicate so much screen time just to beat him up, I don't care if the other guy is supposed to be characterized now as "just that much strong". It makes it look like Kaneki is but a poser. (on the other side hey first time telling straight about what's on Kaneki's mind since he joined Aogiri, cool) Kudos to the ED though, so goooood. ^^ |
| Whoever directed this ep should be slapped -why were aogiri ghouls dying from gunshots? -why did all the ghouls have the same kagune? -why did kamishiro's cell not open till kaneki came up to it? -why did he even attack kaneki when he was there to set him free -animation was lazy -fights were lazy one good part: CENTIPEDE KANEKI!!!!!!!!! also the manga never really stated how they actually keep the ghouls alive there and how they are prevented from using their |

| Holy shit the fight scenes in this episode were so freaking lame and slow. Compared to like every other fights in the series they must have had to cut some animation budget or something with that amount of fighting they decided to jam into a single episode. |
| Centipede next episode :D |
| I see, should have guessed. Eat more and become stronger. I see how Jason's logic rooted in his brain now... Poor Kaneki. |

| They called him Amon, the savior of waifu. Pretty good episode I'd say, new power up for Kaneki? Looking forward to see that. Also nice OST in the end. |
 |
| what a boring ep,, another powerup for kaneki, ok,. |
 |
| Wow, animation sucked so much, almost stopped watching... Ok episode i think, kaneki now got his centipede, but that way is not how he got it in the manga... |
 |
| Some1 is gon die on next ep. XD |
| ~♥~ Otaku + Otaku - Otaku = Otaku ~♥~ |
| I just wonder what would the scores look like if you were to separate anime-only viewers and manga-readers. |
| This is even worst than the first season This anime is getting more and more similar to Bleach Just bunch of people fighting using 'unique' weapon and getting random power up, but, instead of being cool, the characters try to be eccentric. There is no sense of heroism in this anime/series The police kill the ghoul just because they have to, not to protect humanity (it's suppose to protect humanity, but the feel is just not there) It's nothing more than gang fight. When I first watch this anime I thought he's just a simple character who will try to protect his new home/society from discrimination by human. Him being ghoul/human will become the bridge to this process. Turns out it just another generic battle shounen |

| I'm definitely glad the manga didn't take this route. We barely get to even see inside Kanek's head. Hyped for Centipede chan, but it sort of came out of nowhere. In the manga I pretty much liked it because I read the manga and from what I see in discussions anime only viewers aren't really enjoying this. Feels like this anime was made for us manga readers. Oh yeah, I also really like how Eto saved her husbando xD |
 |
| It seems they are directing the anime to coincide with the key points of the manga, but I found forced the part of the invasion and the struggles that formed, it seemed that the facts were forced in the story But there were great struggles, and Kaneki caught enough, however in the end something that many expect was shown, the centipede appears .. |
  |
| That was an unbearable one sided fight... At least we get to see what looks like an epic transformation in the end.. |
 |
| holy crap dat ending, kaneki getting even more BA |
| Just to get a few things out of the way: The animation in this episode was goddamn awful and not fluid at all. The choreography of the fights looked extremely lazy and awkward, i think we can all agree with that. Now with that being said, it was a slow, action-oriented episode. I like how we got to see Donato and Amon's past, the stuff with Juuzou and the twins is gonna be good. The damn inverted scenes are back, oh well, at least they toned it down a lot. I still think it's too soo for centipede-chan, i'm hoping you know what you're doing Ishida... Soundtrack and ED art were delightful as always. 4/5 |

| yeah, this was pretty bad. awful animation (those fights looked like a slideshow) and the buildup to centipede wasn't handled pretty well either. |
 |
| Wow, a crappy episode ._. I Thought it could better but damn i am wrong. The animation of the fight scenes felt so dull and were not really exciting. Too bad Tsukiyama's + Naki's interaction didn't get animated :( |
 |
| Who cares about the reveal.... Seriously this episode was borderline awful. For an episode full of fighting...that was some utterly boring fighting. Stale. That's literally the word for it. All those one hits and the dialogue was about the worst the installment has seen. Not trending in a good direction. |
