| finally kaneki comes back. Things are going to start become more exciting from now on because i think the doves know now about Anteiku... |
| The Gourmet is back with his pervert antics. |
| Definitely my favorite episode so far. It wasn't clear in the manga but the anime makes it looks like Hinami does have romantic feelings for Kaneki. Loved the Kaneki and Touka moment. Lol Touka is a tsundere indeed... regrets what she does after. I still feel like Kaneki joining Aogiri was stupid and don't understand the purpose of it so far. Maybe it'll be more relevant in the second half. Juuzou was cute this episode. He was actually shy around Takatsuki. Also, it was nice to have Tsukiyama this episode. |
 |
| I tought that "Root A" would be a parallel universe, not a full copy of the manga just changing one or another scene. 1/5 Shit. |

| So those ghouls hunters are onto to them and they might actually find out that there are some ghouls in the cafe because of that bitch with purple hair, and I am the only one who notice that kaneki in this episode kind of look like naruto four tail beast transformation at the begin of this episode when his Kagune was coming out. |

| EL DORADO. EUPHORIAAAAAA. Nice ep was nice. Not as good as the manga, but good nonetheless. I like that they included some nice pyschological stuff in Kaneki's character, but, didn't that scene with Jason and Rize take place in the final chapters of the manga? Huh. The ending was gold as usual. |
| I laugh every time tsukiyama is on screen. The writers think he's a joke lmao but I'm still laughing at the El Dorado scene. Kaneki still emotionless. I wish we had a way to see his thoughts in the anime. Good job touka. well, Hinami yelling (?) at the end was odd. I don't know why they put that. also, hinting at hinamixkaneki... I don't really like that. She's like, what, 9? 10? and Kaneki is 20? |

| oh yeah, why was juuzo so... quiet with takatsuki? that was weird. but he didn't say anything... |
warriorsftwFeb 20, 2015 6:46 PM

| Loved seeing Kaneki going back to Anteiku I wanted him to at least talk to Hinami though. I love this series 5/5 Hopefully we will get some more action |

| Great episode, rapid developments and big changes in the plot, it appears that will return to the manga's plot, then this will be the final bow Hiname is always very cute, good 'fight' too between Touka and Kaneki, but the real fights will start now .. |

warriorsftw said: also, hinting at hinamixkaneki... I don't really like that. She's like, what, 9? 10? and Kaneki is 20? She's 14, and he's 19. In Japan, this is pretty much classified as ''acceptable'', not that they can't just wait until she turns 18. warriorsftw said: I thought maybe he had known she was... I recommend spoiler-tagging the ''he had known she was'' part as well. It's pretty easy to figure out what else besides a human someone could be in this anime... |

| Already the best episode in the second season because it had the most Tsukiyama screentime. |
| This episode was so intense that I had my butt cheeks tight as hell throughout those scenes. |
 |
| Plenty of glorious Tsukiyama moments(one can never have too much Miyano) coupled with some touching moments from Hinami and last but certainly not least, Touka & Kaneki. This episode stood pretty damn well on it's own, which is quite something considering the lack of build-up from the previous. Still waiting to see what's going on in Kaneki's head though but I guess this was a start. Trying to become stronger to make sure his close ones as well as himself don't get hurt, which also means coming to terms with the fact that he's going to have to hurt others. He probably went to Aogiri to force that mentality upon himself. I guess that's the general gist of it anyway but the lack of ANY details is still annoying. |
| Tsukiyama is as crazy as ever. Shirokoba meet Owl. This is getting interesting. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| I feel conflicted. On one hand, this was probably the most well adapted episode from the manga out of both seasons so far...sans premiere episode. Honest to god for how much shit I give this show for being god awful, had you not known Kaneki joined Aogiri instead of forming his own group, you wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. On the other hand, knowing that they made this episode basically word for word from the manga, but also knowing that Kaneki isn't with his group, still automatically makes this feel subpar to the manga. Also...the Tsukiyama thing was a bit overdone. They probably just did it for the lulz. The more I keep watching this season the more I keep saying: If they were going to adapt 80-90% of the manga material, and really only change what Kaneki does post torture...then why not just stick to the original story? Honestly, had they just kept Kaneki doing his thing from the manga, I probably wouldn't have much to complain about this season because everything else was actually adapted decently. But now we're left with Kaneki basically being half crazy/half pussy with almost no dialogue...basically a support character. Which also led to some weird mash-ups like adding the cochlea arc, but trying to combine some of the Dr.Kanou parts into it. They could've kept this rushed pace, with the original story, and still be where they are at the end of this episode, and it would be a thousand times better. |

| YESSSS, I love Tsukiyama. |
 |
| Whoa Tsukiyama XDD Lol Kanekix Touka moment <3 |
| In one word : Disappointing. Disappointing because of his lack of information, first there's a lot of unnecessary scenes, we have Tsukiyama (the guys who's been defeated by Kaneki) doing his usual ritual, secondly there is that girl called Ms. Taskatsuki trying to convince Hinami that if she is not strong enough she won't be able to help Kaneki (his "big brother") then she went to CGG to interview an investigator and once again, we'll learn nothing. We'll found out a little bit later that Kaneki went to the coffee shop to talk to Yoshimura, but again this time we'll learn that he just wanted to talk about him returning to the coffee shop (though we did not see their conversation). And the icing on the cake, we'll learn (in fact we already knew why, but it was not as clear as it is now) that if Kaneki went to Aogiri, it was to get stronger in order to protect them. I won't talk about the whole second season though there's a lot to say, but i at least wanted to give you my opinion about this episode. |

| I see Tsukiyama is doing well. Good to know he's still as creepy as ever. Touka and Kaneki finally meeting again after so long...umm, don't know what to think of that reunion. Looking forward the next episode. |
 |
| Meh. 7/10 |
| Ghoul really is a work of art. Especially Tsukiyama's nutty ahegao Last season I thought Hinami was a bit stupid, this episode made me feel that even more. Seriously even if its to make it more dramatic it just seems retarded to run all the way to the freaking library. She needs to learn how to use a phone Touka is super rude, thats what makes her her hahaha very good. No pukey Touka in the Shinohara scene but thats some straight up good build up |

| tsukiyama won't disappoint us lol |

| oh.. i've missed that violet haired guy. hahaha nice nails.. kaneki! |
| Gourmet was the only reason I even was able to watch the episode. I'm seriously beginning to think this Anime won't be straying from the Manga anymore. .-. |

Journey_95 said: ah yes here we go again I still can't believe that someone who read the manga would think that this shitty adaption does it any justice either you are just a fanboy who loves everything regarding TG or you just don't care for a good coherent story and character development How is your post even relevant to mine? Stop trying to butt in arguments with your dumb opinion. I've already had enough of your stupidity when you post baseless and cancerous things about the series just to bash it. |

Z4k said: Does Touka look like Kaneki to you? I said he wasn't defeated by Kaneki. Kaneki and Touka, and Kaneki did all the job, but truth to be told you're a good one (liar). Since Touka has been defeated by Yakumo and his friends and that the actual Kaneki defeat them all, Kaneki is actually way more stronger than Tsukiyama. Chikamtsu said: Yeah but they never showed that "Kaneki talked about returning to anteiku". That wasn't the only thing that happened. In fact it was Yoshimura who was the one that asked him to return which was shown in the episode. Kaneki obviously came there for a different business.

After episode 12 of last season you should have understood his character by now but seems like you haven't You're talking from the Touka's point of view, I'm talking from what the anime showed us, they are trying to justify something that is not justifiable (at least not with a "i did it in order to protect you") and you're telling me that i haven't understood the character ? We're not the same, but one thing for sure is that this guys kill his friends and he is telling us that he did it to protect them, so yes i agree with you it's not totally true but that's what the anime is. Z4k said: Takatsuki giving out ghoul related information about anteiku didn't change the story? By now you should have noticed that the anime is "showing first and explaining later" so yeah it is about being impatient. What information ? Are we talking about the same episode ? Are you talking about the episode 7 ? If don't know if you're talking about Takatsuki telling something that no ones hear about to the investigators but if it's the case you should once again be careful, if you want to argue with me, don't talk about what's going to happen but what happened. |

| 4/5 nice ED. |
| Animating the scene where Touka tried to beat some sense into Kaneki...felt lackluster. Honestly though I really thought with Kaneki joining Aogiri, we would be spending more time with them and seeing more of Eto and Tarata but we hardly get to see any of them...ah well. Seeing that son of bitch Tsukiyama in the beginning was fun made the ep for me until he over stayed his welcome in the bathroom, was he also screaming in the manga, then if so +1 for soundproof bathrooms. Hinami dominating the ED, I really can't ask for more. Anyway meh ep |
| This was better than last episode at least (which was terrible as most of the Amon x Akira bit was borrrring) Eh, seeing Kaneki and Touka interact again was nice, but I didn't like what they are doing to Tsukiyama, (slight/vague spoiler-ish for the manga in the tag, i guess) And Sen for jerk of the week after saying 'DID YOU KNOW THAT COFFEE SHOP IS FULL OF GHOULIES' |

[img]http://i.gyazo.com/28f1868692b18834ed8219e0ff738e33.gif[img] Yet again you're assuming things so soon. Kaneki never told Touka everything he discussed about. Him returning to anteiku was suggested by Yoshimura. It wasn't what he wanted to discuss about.

The anime won't spoonfeed you the answers and the scene clearly implied and hinted it was Takatsuki who gave out information about anteiku which was obviously ghoul related otherwise Shinohara would never have been that suspicious. It DID happen in the anime but if you're waiting for them to straight out tell you the answers then you'll be sorely be disappointed. |
