Ishida probably just provided the route, and some scenes he wanted to incorporate, but SP was still the executive branch. /sigh/I thought the creator/mangaka was tightly involved in the making process of the anime? Especially the making of the last episode? How could he allow his work to be butchered the way it was? |
| Did NOT expect Hide to die.....sad.... Ugh...... Good season just like the last.....probably going to have to read the manga, because there just seems like I'm missing so much. 8/10 |
 |
| This has to be one of the worst endings of all time. It slightly beat off the first season. Manga sales ? Screw you, you lost any interesting left with this waste of time and resources. |
| Too many plotholes. Sort of to be expected @ 12 eps though |
| This episode was LAZY AS FUCK (production wise). What the hell? They skipped a whole battle scene!! That part with Kaneki walking while holding Hide lasted a good 4 minutes!! What even happened to all these people and when did Hide join the damn battle?! Predictable?! You fuckin' betcha. Kinda sad? Yeah. Let's face it, they dragged the episode for as long as they could and it turned out being horribly boring and painfully slow-paced. NOPE. I'm sorry. I was just watching this second season to see if this franchise had anything good to offer (because, well, first season's last episode was genius) but it came out as a great disappointment for me. Some of you guys are saying the manga is really good, and maybe I will have to read it because this last episode was the tipping point. IT WAS A TERRIBLE LAST EPISODE. The only part I liked was the acoustic version of Unravel, that was really nice to listen to. |

Helenus said: I just don't get how this anime could work out the way it did. I thought the creator/mangaka was tightly involved in the making process of the anime? Especially the making of the last episode? How could he allow his work to be butchered the way it was? As an anime only viewer it is/was nearly impossible to follow the anime. There are just too much things that are not explained/unmentioned/left out for a non-manga reader to comprehend. And concerning the 'shitty' ending: Maybe it's just a marketing trick? Make an anime with nice visuals but with bad storyline/plot. So the people will most likely will take a look at the anime to understand more? Or is it a cultural thing? I don't know how Japanese viewers (the main audience) think about this. Maybe they are more fond of 'open endings' than American or European fans? i don't know how tightly he was working with them, but I don't think too closely because of the shitty story telling. you should definitely look into reading the manga... the anime didn't do it any justice whatsoever So the point of anime is to increase manga sales. They make almost nothing from the DVD sales and it's actually just manga sales that are important. In which case, I would say the anime was really successful because it got a LOT of people to read it. Tokyo Ghoul was already selling well but the anime made it sell more and in america at least, made it super popular. so even though it was a terrible adaption, it worked. It got more manga sales. I'm still upset about it though. |

| Well that was really underwhelming. It was a good episode, but as a finale? I don't think so. Storywise i really enjoyed how it focused on both sides of the conflict, however there was a lot of unnecessary stuff. All the touka scenes and the ccg prison (what was the point in the anime?) come to mind. But since its a butchered adaption, i wonder what all the PLOT actually is. Characters were pretty good. I really like Kaneki....is what i want to say but his total screen time was like 30 minutes in the second season. All the other characters were likeable in their own way so that's a plus. Music was awesome, i really loved the soundtrack. Wasn't too much of a fan of the OP but i really liked the ED. Art and animation was a mixed bag, it was good in some places and absolutely horrible in others. Overall i enjoyed this less then the first season and honestly would only recommend to people that have read the manga so that they can somehow make sense of whats going on. It did have some quality moments though. 6/10. I'm looking forward for the manga to come out in English so i can actually experience the greatness that this anime should have conveyed. |

| I'm expectin' s3(:re) in two years. |
| ~♥~ Otaku + Otaku - Otaku = Otaku ~♥~ |
| loved episode 12...because it have different ending from manga. although im very vey curious to see CCG reaction during Arima and kaneki fight....I mean the episode 12 should been longer...oh well duh I wonder if there is a light novel about it, atleast there is one about hide and kaneki. |

| The cups on the table in one scene then gone in the next is about as juvenile as it gets for checking consistency when it's...a prop in a scene. I guess they blew the budget and that's why they didn't animate the fight sequence. Best part was the cinematic of Ken walking down the street with his dear friend. It symbolizes a great deal. Unfortunately, the praise doesn't go far. Don't think this series gets the treatment it prob deserves and as a result the adaption suffers. The art is always inconsistent and the exchanges between characters are belittled. It's a shame. I predominately blame the studio. It's not a very good adaptation all things considering. 6 or 7 out of 10 after I think on it some more. Will watch :re when it comes out. |

| Bruhhh soo many things were not explained, we barely even got to see Kaneki in most of the episodes. I just wanted to see more of my centipede-kun and black rabbit |
| "He's a player??? THE ONLY THING HE BE PLAYIN IS A HENTAI DATING SIM THAT FAKER" |
| I'm disappointed 8/10 |

| dafuq is this crap. where is the v14? 4/10 and please pierrot dont touch :re, we're done with ur crap |

adaw31 said: I can definitely see a season 3 in the distant future (when the manga gets further) and I feel that this ending would flow better into :re than the manga's abrupt ending. This episode was probably the best this season. I can't even begin to describe how amazing it was. It felt so heartwarming. I personally think that Arima didn't kill Kaneki (unless snow seriously piled up). But the way how this season ended was much better than season 1. Agree... I enjoyed both seasons I and II. I am going to hope we get a third season as I did read some spoilers regarding some of the more important characters and if that part of the story could be animated...wow! I ain't clowning around either when I say that. ;p |
| so it's hide huh, oh well i hope it continues (ofc it will) |
 |
| that ending was so bad, well, this series is overrated |
| Gintama: "The blade is not to cut down your enemies Nor is it to cut away your own weakness A sword isnt meant to protect your body A sword is meant for protecting your soul" |
| coming from someone who did not come into this series reading the manga, i actually really enjoyed this anime series (including the first season). there were a lot of intense moments and i felt completely blown away after every episode. that being said, the ending disappointed me. not only was i confused but i just felt like they didn't end it, end it and i felt like there were some things that were left unanswered. like am i to assume to yomo was saying that tenchou's last favor was to prevent touka from stopping kaneki from turning himself in? they didn't blatantly state that out and that is something that i need blatantly stated out. plus, did kaneki die or did he turn himself in? what does it mean with arima and his weapon standing on the ground like that followed by a scene with white hair flowing in the wind? who's hair is that anyways? kaneki's? arima's? what? i need this kind of stuff blatantly stated. well, i guess it's time to start from chapter one of the manga. |
 |
| Hardly anything happened... At least the walking scene looked nice. A shame that this had to turn out the way it did though. |
| Honestly, I quite enjoyed this ending. Could it have been better? Hell yeah, the whole season felt like it was just skipping around all over the place, randomly introducing characters we know nothing about and then just ditching them. As someone who has not read the manga, shit feels like it's rushed as fuck in places, while really drawn out sometimes. However, I still think this was better than the first season's ending. The animation in this last episode was really beautiful with the flames and falling snow, and the way they presented the flashbacks and all the subtle things that created the aftermath atmosphere was really nice. I liked this open ending much more than the first season's ending. Here's hoping that a third season will come someday to tie up the loose ends and adapt :re 8/10 |
| feels + unravel = </3 |
| I was just thinking wouldn't it be cool if they played 'Unravel' one more time and then when it started playing I just fangasmed all over <3 Now onto that ending. WTF! I mean what the actual f*ck! That literally answered nothing! Season 3 plz. |

| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| What the fuck did i just watch?! How can you let that be your season/series finale???? are you fucking kidding me? fucking bullshit man. im sick of horrible endings to shows. like okay, i get it, hide is dead. kaneki is walking into a den of people who are probably going to kill him for 5 minutes of your finale? really? what direction are you trying to go in here, make everyone touched that a ghoul is caring for a human? kaneki gonna fight? kaneki gonna die? no closure whatsoever with touka? wtf was kaneki even working for this entire season?!? he had like 4 lines This season never happened, im protesting its existence |
 |
| I'm actually glad I didn't read the manga first. It made me enjoy the anime so much! But I do have to agree with the ending. There were some unanswered questions here and there, BUT I'll just read the manga. So no problem here. That last episode, especially the part where Kaneki was holding Hide, is very sad. I cried my eyes out ;_; Overall 10/10. |
  |
| maybe i am being biased but , i am not sure what this anime was going for - i haven't read the manga -, i was really interested in the anime from the first two episodes back from S1 , but somehow the show was just meh , and this ending ... i am not sure how to feel . There was of course the cool ghoul moments but the censorship just killed it , i really wanted to love this anime but couldn't . Anyone's sharing this feeling with me? |

| Im not satisfied with the anime ending ...They ruin the whole manga events |
  |
| 3/10 Shit ending to a shit second season, and I haven't even read the manga. The plot is so mangled and nothing that Kaneki does makes any sense. At least they played unravel to make that scene less shit. |

I don't understand WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON. Meh, I thought it'd be all explained in the finale. I feel like being left in an absolute dark room. Why is Touka being so useless and what is it with all of the running scene???! It's a huge disappointment for me. But the accoustic version of Unravel and the ed tho <3 |
| i liked that acoustic Unravel as much as the next guy, but that doesn't make up for that pile of shit they called a finale |
|
| HOW. HOW IN THE WORLD DID HIDE DIED? IS IT BECAUSE OF NORO? AHHHHH ARIMA KILLED KANEKI OFF SCREEN. THIS IS TOO MUCH. What a sad way to end this anime. But on a sad note, Kaneki S1 is much better than in this season. Maybe because he was shoehorned to Aogiri (why did he joined anyways). But, zero closure guys. Just like S1. At least unravel acoustic saved this episode. 7/10. Please Pierrot don't touch this franchise anymore (TG Jack is the last pls), just make Akatsuki no Yona S2 or SoreSekai S2. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| Decent. Unravel made this episode. |
| As for last episode I would have expected something epic and this was just...boring. Bad adaptation overall. If I could I would not watch these two seasons but instead, read the manga. 5/10 |
| Crap ending. |
| |
| I wanted to know what happened to Eto!! The anime just left me hanging.. |
   |
| Well, not really a fan of that kind of ending, but the way Hide expressed himself until the end was respectable. So it was Hide in that picture covered in a white sheet of cover. Unexpected indeed. I thought it was Eto before all of this happened. Hahaha! I thought Arima and Kaneki was about to fight. Anyway, Touka opened a new shop, which the name is :re. An OVA will be coming soon too. Final score, 8/10. |
