Welp, looks like cat's out of the bag on Takatsuki, lol. Imo they made it way too obvious in the anime what was going on.

No its not out yet. There's still the "other" surprise.

Yeah good point, hardly any hints on that yet. Should take quite a few people by surprise.

Gourmet. Always makes me Laugh.
Hm this episode was normal. Not great, not shit.

But I still miss something in this show. I think I want more fighting scenes.
[spoiler] Now they have Kaneki's identity. ho.

This is worst episode so far, and boring AS FUUUUUUUUUCK! I simply couldn't stand watching it, but at end I managed to force myself just for plot(wasn't worth it).

And what the faq man, that fight at beginning is joke!!!!

Its unwatchable, but I gave it rating 1 only cuz that was lowest number on scale. Total crap, if it doesn't became fun in next episode Ill quit.

Such a shame...


yet you've given it a rating of 10?

I wasn't so angry after watching an anime episode for a long time!
After 1st season which was great, I read the manga, so I was happy for the 2nd one coming.
1st ep - cool, they're starting from the spot, 2nd ep - boring, nothing happened, but it's just a beginning so let's wait, and then the 3rd...the only conclusion I have is - If it's based on manga, every change is for the worse. Really, how could they spoil such an important thing as eto-takatsuki identity!!! Not to mention that Kaneki in Aogiri is a shitty idea making no sense -______-'''

So they can keep throwing their bland opinions at us and then feel indignant when we point that out to them.

Hoping to see more of the other one-eyed ghouls.

Anyway it was a great episode. I think the buildup is essential for the action later on in the series otherwise, for me, I feel like it would have no meaning/purpose. Can see this season coming to a great physical (in terms of action) and emotional end.

Am I the only that geeked out when Tsukiyama showed up? He's awesome. And Takatsuki Sen is very suspicious. Juzo is also intimidating with ur new cinque. Touka talking to Hide was nice, I hope to see more of him (although I feel like he'll be killed off if that happens)

Not much happened, but there definitely some hints that something big is going to happen soon.

The points that differentiate the adaptation of the manga are leaving a greater curiosity about history, but I would like to see more action in the anime, and a more rapid development, I not feel the plot progressing ..

Loved the conversation between Hide and Touka! Hinami was absolutely adorable in her new clothes!

So just curious - Why is everyone still comparing this to the manga when we already know that this season is an original story and not adapted from the manga?
So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS!

3 things, well 4 really if you include this.

1st This show is by far the greatest show I have seen recently, besides Parasite and seven deadly sins.

2nd Does Hide "know" that Kaneki is a ghoul? I am having trouble recalling if he does know or not. I may have to watch the first season over again this weekend just to double check this. And when I say "know" I mean does he know, or is he just guessing?

3rd Has anybody else noticed that Kaneki has grown very silent recently? I never really noticed before how much he spoke, until this episode where he said hardly anything. As I recall he was more talkative in the first season. These questions are driving me to watching the first season again.

Great episode. I didn't find it boring at all. I love fight scenes too but I am completely happy with a Great story, amazing character development and explanations. That is what I want. Hinami , cute as always. Touka misses Kaneki. The anime seems a mix between the manga and original content.

Is it just me or does Touka resembles a young house wife whose husband left/disappeared for complicated reason, leaving her with a daughter to raise by herself and they both miss him....... >_< maybe it's just me.

That author smile, could it be any less obvious who she really is.

Despite it being a pretty good ep though I wonder how things turn out. I can't help but relate it's pace to the manga because it basically comes off so far as everyone still themselves and so are the answers but the road is different. So maybe things will get answered faster than we think? Idk. If things are almost the same in the end then I won't help but wonder why not adapt the original?

I also do hope we get a proper adaptation later. I thank pierrot for introducing this series to me but one day the manga needs the adaption is deserves. Unlike FMA the first part is already done.

Really liked that they kept the conversation with Hide and Touka. Juuzou now has his quinque! He's awesome with it. I was so glad to see Tsukiyama, and he was with Banjou too.

Hinami getting a present for her Kaneki onii chan was nice.

I really liked some of the small scenes with Kaneki such as him writing down Yamori's name. Gives us some more characterization on him. He may have changed, but his kind heart will stay forever.

I can't believe I actually liked this episode. Naki hilarious as always and that Tsukiyamaaaaa. He was the best of the episode. I wasn't expecting him at all.

Takatsuki is prettier in her animated version. But the anime is making it painfully obvious that she's Eto. (Foolproof...)

I miss some of these characters so bad in re... And it's kinda weird to see them here.

Tokyo Ghoul's second season so far has consisted of turning Kaneki into a pussy, and removing fan favorite and important manga scenes while keeping the boring shit no one cares about.

Kaneki - human turned ghoul who absolutely abhors causing any harm to humans....joins aogiri. goes on mission where a bunch of CCG cops get killed. k...

At least they kept the Hidei and Touka scene. Although it's importance was super minimal. Not nearly as good or important as the Kaneki and Minami trip to the book signing which was completely changed.

Though this could still redeem itself if the Ainteiku infiltration team takes Kaneki back and he forms his rogue group again. Will it happen? Not with the way this has been going so far.

Then you're browsing through the wrong genres. I suggest you should go and check out some ''good'' shounen anime with lots of action instead.


Not really. Had Ishida not decided to come up with this original acid trip story line, we'd already see some scenes with Kaneki being a badass.

1. You really need to watch more anime then.

2. In this anime version, he already knows for sure. In the manga, he was like 90% sure, but still doing research for a bit. Not too much different overall.

3. Since they changed who he's associated with, he has no one to talk to anymore. Was more talkative in the manga.

Kaneki's friend has always been so stupidly perceptive that it feels like he has known about everything since the beginning. i'm guessing the lying signal will play a role when Touka inevitably confronts Kaneki

OMG, I hate when every episode leaves us on a cliff hanger. Like Kaneki is in front of the prison about to break ghouls out and CUT. OMG the author is Eto, I know it. The investigators I finally figuring out that Eyepatch is aeneki. This is what I think is going to happen. They are going to figure out she worked at the coffee shop and ambush the place.

I thought this was a pretty strong episode. It advanced the plot without dragging or focusing too much on one place, and we got to see a wide range of characters and some different types of scenes, like Hinami at the book signing and Juuzou receiving his quinque.

This series is much better than I anticipated, and I'm glad that it is continuing to retain some of the aspects of the manga despite its separate overall plot.

Curious to see where it will lead!

Juzo slicing that steel in half all of a sudden scared the hell out of me. "Juzo's Jason" seems like an odd naming choice, but maybe I'm missing something there..

Takatsuki Sen is the most interesting character so far, in my opinion. Her smirks seem to be foreshadowing something very, very important.

Anyway. The action at the start was cool. Sure need more but the main focus of this ep was different.
Next ep we will have a prison break!
The Art of Shipping is no mere game. It can be small skirmishes to huge nation size wars.
Of course some will claim their ship is the BATTLESHIP but they all do. This is why battles occur because of factions fighting each other to justify their favourite ship.
And thus SHIP to SHIP combat occurs almost anytime even now.
Beware, Threading into the Shipping battlefield will be bloody.... What are you waiting for?

Juuzou can be written as 十三. So it's basically 13's jason. Like suzuya's hair clips. Also quinque is shaped in number 13.
