a question though , which is better the anime or manga ? i know its still unfair for the anime but still.

Its been 2 episodes so far so you can't judge which one's better. But if you enjoyed the anime then you'll surely enjoy the manga as well.

It's kind of early to tell the anime moves very fast and has already skipped or changed a few things slightly. If you ignore the censors it's pretty good and fairly accurate to the manga.

I still recommend reading the manga it's very good, though I found that on the earlier chapters I had trouble following the action. It's not that the art was bad but it was hard to tell at times what was a Kagune and was was blood. That get's a lot better later on so no more real complains at the moment. Very fun read.

I hope Kaneki doesn't continue to struggle, the conflict he feels is understandable but if it carries on, it will become annoying.

This gonna be the type of anime that will all of a sudden shoot up in rank when the uncensored versions comes out (as long as the anime stays good).

manga it is!
I know it's too early to tell but the art in the manga is much better, the anime is somehow rushed which is understandable if they want to cover all of the manga . the manga is more tense which makes it better

I admit it! Touka is a beautiful badass!

Hmm, I didn't like the censor in the beginning because everything was dark, but I guess I'm okay with the inverted color censorship 'cause you can still see it, yet it did kind of hurt my eyes.

I love this OP! I also like the art found in the ED.
I also like how the OST puts you in the mood.

Nishiki randomly kicked Hide, lol.
I am so glad Kaneki didn't eat Hide. Hide's awesome! (^_^)

I'll end this with EYEPATCH, COFFEE, and more characters!

With all that screaming and heavy panting I had to turn my volume down...

Anyway, I'm not too certain what is the difference between the human and ghoul world that Kaneki talks about since it seems that ghouls are trying to live among humans without showing their true nature.

I like how even though Rize died, she's subconsciously living through Kaneki.

I don't care about the censorship. The only thing that bothers me is Rize appearing in his mind and talking to him. I don't know, I don't really like her character, not even in the manga, having to watch her in most of his hunger/frustration scenes is going to be sucky if they keep this up

Pace is pretty fast so far, there's no space between conversations lol but I guess they gotta do it that way to cover as many chapters as possble.

A pretty good episode. I'm not completely sold, but I see some potential. I'm kind of digging Kaneki as a character so far and am really interested in certain character images I've seen of him.

I liked Rize soul and power emerging from Kaneki's mind. The graphic impact of the filters was stunning, as well as the Epic music when Kaneki-Rize transformed, but unfortunately the censorship was awful and killed the mood.
Touka seems an interesting pg, hope they'll deepen her character, seems like this show has a lot to offer.
One thing's for sure, KanaHana loves dubbing Rize.

I don't know what's up with people on here and censoring. If it really did make things difficult to understand, fair enough, but I don't recall a problem with it, in my opinion. I guess some people are just edgy teens who need to see the "bodies hit the floor."

Unless there's some insane 180, though, this show has the best friend character ever. That guy's awesome and I hope he doesn't die. [That probably won't happen, but still. I'd like him not to become a jerk or get brutally murdered if possible.]

Also, thank god Wicked HanaKana might still be sticking around.

Thought the censorship would ruin it, but it was still a very good, intense episode. (Though I did end up finding an uncensored version of the scene on YouTube and switching over to that video when the scene came up xD)

Yeah, seriously. That's a normal human reaction. I'd personally be more irritated if he wasn't crying or getting emotional over this. It's a HUGE fucking deal.

Fantastic episode aside from the censoring for most people. The animation was superb and the pacing is decent.

For those who are complaining about Kaneki's crying and wimpy behavior, I'm pretty sure if I turned into a flesh eating monster, I would go insane and have a mental breakdown. Its normal human behavior people gosh.

All I can say is, the MC will get wayyyyyy better and turns out to be one of my top favorite characters if they make the anime pacing right. I hope its at 20 episodes and not 12 episodes :P If not, 13 Episodes with a Season 2 and OVAs.

Yeah, the early Rize trolling was actually not a bad idea at all. It will feel less out-of-the-blue later on.

Amazing episode

Though i did not like Kaneki's constant bitching and crying throughout the episode. You think your the only one has gone through this shit?

I'm glad Kirishima beat the shit out of him. Reminds me of Kamille or Amuro's tantrum's in the first episodes of Zeta and 079.

I was actually hoping since Kaneki's is a half breed, he would be able to eat normal food like humans do, does making other Ghouls jealous of him and out to kill him.

But i guess it's good to show if your willing to kill your friend just for a few hours digestion until the next hunger occurs.

I guess Kirishima forced Nishio's corpse and stuff it in to Kaneki since he's probably dead by now.

And is Rize really dead?? It seems she's communicating inside of Kaneki's head.

Lol at the segment, Nishiki probably eats horse shit alot XD

Can't wait for the next episode!

I just love the music used in this series, gives me chills...Pretty enjoyable episode. It was cool to see Kaneki's power and save Hide. Although he was close to eating him, good thing Touka was there. That coffee bit was kind of random to me but good to know, I guess xD
Looking forward to the next episode.

The censoring was pretty bad at some points, you can't cover 75% of the screen with black... reported!

Will it stay dark and have a good story, or will it fail miserably?

Anyone mind pointing out where exactly this "censorship" is? The way people are going on about it I was expecting like giant black bars or things pixelated out. You mean they just removed stuff from the manga? Never read the manga and have no plans to so I can't say I noticed.

Anyway, solid second episode!

I loved this episode, I found it amazing. I was so scared of Kaneki eating Hide or Hide getting eaten in general. That was a great fight with Kaneki and Hide's other friend. Kaneki and his internal struggle to be human and not to be ghoul is extremely fascinating to watch. This was an amazing episode and I'm so hooked and invested into this show now!

Didn't the coffee genleman ghoul say that this is the first time he's seen something like that? So I assume most ghouls have been ghouls all their lives. So yeah he might very well be the only who who has gone through that shit.

Also wat is this anime even? The first episode seemed okay aside from the characters constantly appearing randomly (random ghoul eats guy -> Nishiki appears and kicks his butt -> Touka appears and kicks Nishiki's Butt -> coffee gentleman ghoul appears and tells her to stop kicking mainguy's butt)

Also the fight scene in this episode was really random to me. When Nishiki kicked Hide out of the way, I almost started laughing because I thought it was a random funny part. I actually had to rewind to make sure that I hadn't suddenly gone insane.

I don't know, maybe it'll get better.

Warm episode in terms of plot, narrative good, you feel involved; dialogues that make sense.
Drawings and animations good, but not exceptional.
Characters yet to be deciphered.
I look forward to the next episode to set me up to make me a serious idea on the TV series.

Like when Kaneki was trying to attack with his bag... I mean, wth? And a lot of random moments.

It looks so messy. I don't get the hype YET, but I think it'll get better and the manga looks awesome (read some random pages lmao but still).

Hide is a real bro man..

The fight scene was awesome but the censoring ruined it... damn they even changed the color of everything.. smh..

I'm just wondering.. since he's just a half ghoul half human.. what's the significance of that? I see that he's no different than a normal ghoul except that he can somehow fight his urges to eat humans.. well also he's kinda weak compared to a normal ghoul

That's not true. You are both ghoul and human. You are the one and only person who has a place in both worlds.


Lol it was so sudden out of nowhere when the ghoul senpai kicked the human friend.
