If I were the creator of tokyo ghoul I woul have stuck with the plot from the manga and asked for a 18 episode season 2 if I couldn't get the 24 episodes.

I wonder how they got allowed to air this. They are ruining the impression of such an excellent manga with this sloppy work. I guess it's time to drop the anime.

Oh Thanks god ... They didnt mess up with this episode as they did with 4.episode.

Great episode ! Action scenes were very good .

That centipedeeeeeeee yeaaah.

Music was very good.

But I think we need more internal monologue of Kaneki...

Only-anime-watchers might be in trouble to grasp the situation sometimes.

I love this anime but I would like to hear Kaneki's voice more...to understand what might be driving him.

Suzuya is crazy and more demented then most ghouls. I would seriously love to see him get what he deserves.

Great episode!

Amazing animation, finally some decent combat as well as backstory to booth.

It was nice to know Juuzou, Kurona and Nashiro's past. It seems Juuzou was already crazy waay before she became a member of the investigation team.

I didn't know Kurona and Nashiro were voiced by Yuuki Aoi and Haruka Tomatsu. They really sound different here, even Juuzou's voice is really unique compared to the usual roles Rie Kugimiya does.

It seems all three attended the same academy as Amon. But for some reason when Amon first saw Juuzou, he didn't recognize her? Unless she didn't paid much attention to her during academy days.

Damn Kaneki bringing the centipede!!!! I was hoping he would turn his body into an armored one just like Shinohara did with his Arata.

So Shinohara is probably dead since Kaneki ate the shit out of him?

Wtf the Owl looks like Dracula. He's giving me this vibe that he is the king of all ghouls. We already suspect(or already hinted) that the Owl's identity is pretty much known at this point.

Getting good, but it's a shame we're almost half of the show and nothing significant has happened. What happened to that long haired guy Kaneki was supposed to fight? Did he died or what?

Can't wait for the next episode. I want my Touka-chan moment please!

What a powerful episode. Kaneki being all crazy in front of Shinohara. Eating his Arata in the process. Amon got a little bit of flashbacks there with the twins and Suzuya. Just in time for the one-eyed owl to rescue the subordinates.

That censorship though. Sigh.

Yeah, I'm almost certain his back story isn't going to adapted. If by any chance it's does get adapted; it's most likely just be itty bitty parts of it. *virtual sigh*

Be careful! He's more apt to slice you up then hug you back. ;) Suzuya's story is pretty sad and would make for an interesting episode.

Holy shit centipede.


That centipede was f-in AWESOME!! Plus Kaneki munching on the arata and babbling about centipedes and doing that "what's 1000 minus 7" thing, so disturbing, yet so interesting to watch.

Speaking of the arata,

Barion-Zara said:
Ayato got annihilated by Shinohara. Arata was even sluggish and Ayato lost badly.


I got that feeling, too, like some parts/cells of the arata recognized Ayato and didn't want to hurt him more so it somehow forced itself to reel back and stall Shinohara as much as possible from killing his son until the backup would come and pick Ayato up and to safety.

Juzo's batshit crazy. I mean, I knew he was and liked the fact but he went all-out on the twins until I was crossing fingers they'd just get out of there alive.

And then the mf-ing OWL.

Best episode so far, I swear.

the story and the characters are all completely ****ed up. i hope they all die by the end of this. in the first season you had a some form of sympathy for the ghouls and kaneki. now with this season they have all simply become evil. was hoping rei would just kill them all off. sucks so far but ill keep watching in hope the ghouls are wiped out

i just watched them slaughter an entire complex full of guards (not to mention kaneki is eating some guy who seemed like a genuinely good person who was trying to do the right thing) who are likely not involved with whatever has aogiri pissed off. if it comes to light that evil was occuring there i will change my mind but at the moment they are evil.

Love the constant melodramatic ost during the seemingly pointless battles. There was literally nothing but filler fights this episode where one side would just leave after 5 minutes of poorly inspired fight scenes.

Centipede Kaneki looked great but Kaneki's character just feels so shallow now. His first words since he joined Aogiri Tree is just the same dribble he said during his torture scene at the end of last season. It seems his identity now is just his torture.

The only satisfying part so far of season 2 is the parallel panels from the manga; like Juuzo opening his coat lined with knives or Kaneki eating Shinohara's kakuja armor. And that's a load of crap because I was under the impression this was a new story arc written by Ishida himself, not some bizzaro world where everything is different but the same events happen. Hopefully it diverges completely from the manga in the upcoming episodes; I pray to god there isn't a pseudo Anteiku Raid arc.

I don't see how anime-only watchers can follow this plot. Major supporting characters just appear out the blue and many of the action scenes begin as spontaneous as they end. Please save yourself from ruining an amazing series and pick up the manga.

Looks to me that there are "evil" humans and ghouls.

Ok, now this was an awesome/good episode. I hope for the quality to keep up.

I managed to feel bad about Kurona and Nashiro. Maybe because they must have had a reason to become ghouls, or because Juuzou is apparently lacking his humanity as well... or probably both.

As for Kaneki, he finally reached the level I has expectations for.

Much better episode compared to the last one. Liking the fighting here. Bringing in that Centipede greatness.

I do wish Kaneki would speak a little more though. It hardly feels like he's a main character in this show to me and we're already like half-way through the anime.

The censoring is unfortunate but what the heck. Just gonna roll with it I guess

Yeah. Anime-only watcher here and I'm so confused. major plot transitions without explanation, hardly anything is really making sense. centipede-keneki kind of came out of nowhere. No real transition as to why that happened. This season is just all over the place.

Apparently you.can't wait for the explanation in the next episode can you?

This anime really does do whatever it feels like. There are no distinct rules to fighting capabilities or anything of the such. There seems to be very little direction or purpose.

Everytime, I can't help but like Amon more and more! So Shiro, Kuro and "Rei"were all friends and Amon was the teacher! I hope he will be able to talk to the girls...btw, wtf with the censure? Really, knives?!
Yukinori is good, he could have killed Ayato if he wanted to, but he waited a lot...and a crazy Kaneki showed up.

I don't even know what goes through their minds when they implement censors in Japan. They have no problem showing off Shiro getting slashed in half, but god forbid we can see Kuro's knife wounds. At least they used some weird blur instead of mosaic or the much missed (not) black screen. It still pulled me out of the moment which seriously reminds me how much I enjoy this when it's completely uncut.

With that aside though, an incredible episode. So glad I waited to marathon this.

If I had know that they were making a second season, I would have never have read the manga so soon. It sucks all the fun out of the anime when I compare it to the manga the whole time.

Anyway, so it seems like they have completely given up on doing any of the sub plots. Like how and why was Kaneki turned into an ghoul... etc. Its fun I guess seeing all the awesome fights animated but, its just missing something. Oh, it like a cliche shonen where they jusm from one fight to the next without much story telling than to set up the next fight. I'm really missing the character development for kaneki and the exploration of the sub plots.
