Honestly, I can't judge an anime off of 2 episodes, but I really feel like this season will fall in between season 1 and Root A.

Action was a bit "Meeh".
Last scene with best waifu was great.
No chin touch (damn, Pierrot, it's important so why ...)

It's sad they're doing a real Season 3 while not doing a real Season 2 .. Sorry for you Anime-only watchers.

If they followed the damn manga, it would have been so awesome ... But well, seems like it will be better than Root A.

It was a good episode. More characters were introduced to the series. But I'm kinda disappointed with the battle scene. It was simply too short after that build up from episode 1. Orochi was revealed to be Nishio-senpai, which reminds me of Season 1. Was this intended? Such parallelism really amused me.

When I just began to like Investigator Sasaki as the new character, now it turns out he and Kaneki are the same person, just a new personality with amnesia. I feel betrayed here. I thought the CCG were experimenting on Kaneki to transplant the ghoul organs to the new hosts (Quinx Squad) since the members remain to be humans after the transplant. I was wrong apparently.

Guess I really need to read the manga to keep up. Oh wait, it's the main intention of this anime adaptation after all...

The major complaint from this episode for me was the hair colour of Touka which wasn't same as the manga.There she looks even more beautiful and it has role in the later part of the series IF this indeed reaches that point.(If we get more seasons after it).Okay episode.

Do you mean the last Quinx member introduced? Her name is Saiko. If so, yeah, she finally got her first debut in the episode. Can't wait to see her in action.
I just realized that all of my favorite characters, beside being stunningly beautiful, also happen to be exceptionally skilled murder machines. \('-')/

Called it, it was Nishio. I knew I smelled something lewd.

OMG Kaneki Saise threatening to "eat" Urie brings a lot of perverted, yaoi, buttsecks, deepthroating, moaning, uke, seme, semen and sweaty images to mind. I am sure the fujoshis have already made fan art of them eating each other. Oh my my my my my my...

Ah yes, Nutcracker, yaaaaas.



I love Psycho because she has big tits and she thicc.

Touka is back! Yay! I hope they fuck in this season.

They took away the impact of Urie saying he was like a ghoul by not showing the whole fight with him and Nishio. This was supposed to be an important moment for the characters; not that it even matters, because it's hard to care for characters that haven't been introduced properly.

2 Years time skip... Many events have passed...

So Nishio is the serpent huh. That definitely brings back the Kaneki memories that reside deep within Haise. He was close from letting Kaneki free I bet.

Haise is a teacher of his squad while Arima is like the teacher of Haise... That's just wrong knowing that Kaneki used to fight Arima, though I never have seen that cuz I am not a manga reader.

I find the moment when Haise said that he has no intention of remembering or caring about his previous friends and family really absurd. Has 'Haise' really been taught not to pursue things that are not beneficial to CCG?! He's basically just their puppet now.

Oh shit, here she is, in the Re Cafe! TOUKA!!! She's finally reunited with Kaneki She's reunited with a former Kaneki, what now sat down across Touka is a manufactured personality though it may be real, it's not original. Their 'reunion is really touching though' especially seeing how even Haise cry while he simps that cup of coffee which he is very familiar with in the good old days...

It's been too long since I read the manga or watched the anime so I don't remember much of the older characters other than I never liked Touka but she looks nice here.

I'm amazed at how faithful the anime has been so far! I like the slow pacing, and the animation style too. The ending theme focuses on the Quinx Squad as a family... There's foreshadowing since we see the last image of them as a photo in a frame and Saiko was facing it before she was on her way.

I love how soft Nishiki is. Nishiki certainly has that tough exterior from the way he talks, but I love that he wasn't even trying to kill Haise. Nishiki beat Haise just like back when Kaneki first became a ghoul... I remember how emotional it was in the manga too when Haise was triggered from saying "Nishio senpai," and questioned who Nishiki is.

I didn't finish the manga, so I don't know why Ayato is now using the Rabbit mask...And I hope we don’t see Torso go too wild later now that he’s working with Aogiri Tree. Poor Shimoguchi for being the only person on his team to survive during their pursuit on Torso. There's always going to be sadness from Akira, because Takizawa and Amon aren't with her and her father already passed away.

It's sad to see Urie grieve over his father, and frown at Takeomi because Takeomi's father left Urie's father to fight alone. But Takeomi is a genuine guy, and I'm now curious about how much the anime will show Takeomi...

I like that this episode asserts that Haise is aware he has a past self, but he's refusing to investigate that past self. Haise's avoidance is him persisting to belong in the world he's in now, and the life he has built in the last two years. Even though Haise said he doesn't wish to meet his previous family or friends, because of how content he is with his current life, there's no way he can ignore his past forever now that he walked into Touka and Yomo's coffee shop. Haise recognized the smell of coffee when he walked into the cafe, but I argue that has to do with his subconscious memory.

We also see a bit of Nutcracker in action. And lol at how innocent Furuta looks here!! I'm ready for his scenes later. xDD

That eye-triangled guy is weird, i don't trust in him. Seems pretty strong though, much more now that he's planning to increase his quinqx (or whatever the name is lol).
I think they cleared Kaneki's memory, the 1st class agent (black & white hair) is him (it's obvious, ik).
FINALLY Kaneki and Touka met in the coffee!! (love story between them... maybe¿¿¿???. Tokyo Ghoul doesn't seem like an anime with romance content though).

So Haise has amnesia, that explains why he works for CCG
Quite the lovely reunion there, also kind of sad that Haise doesn't recognise her...
I wonder Saiko can eat that ham even though she is a half-ghoul, so does that have to do with the frame thing where getting more frames makes you more of a ghoul?

Surprisingly compared to Tokyo Ghoul, so far the anime is very accurate to the manga in most of its scenes and dialogue.
Unfortunately the action sequences, transitions of movement with effects and original soundtrack is mediocre, unfitting and not as thrilling as it should be.

... I can't believe they excluded Ken's chin touch when he says he's happy living like this to Arima. Terrible dumb decision.
It was also disappointing that they didn't keep the reuniting of Haise and Touka exactly as it is like in the manga, with Renji sitting in front of him for a reaction, and Tooru's surprise of him crying along with Touka's original reaction.

As for Tooru's backstory, I guess they'll include that later even though it should have already been mentioned.
Hopefully one day (which I'm actually very confident of) Tokyo Ghoul gets remade in a few years by a better studio/director.

So apparently Kaneki lost his memories (or they wiped them forcefully) and he got a new identity to work for the anti-ghoul team. Also it seems like root A pretty much never happened from what I got from these comments, very confusing. At least Touka appeared, the only character besides Kaneki that I probably recognize, so I'll just be rooting for her right now haha.

Kaneki's presence was in fact right beside Sasaki but honestly speaking his abilities were nerfed maybe for the best I suppose OP kinda grew one me kinda catchy tbh and somewhat the ED has too

We got a little bit of an appearance from Nishio and from that occurrence makes Sasaki or I should say Kaneki snapback or recall from his memories, glad to see some familiar faces again like Arima getting a more interactive role in the season Ayato making an appearance as well

They went to a "familiar" cafe to get some coffee once Sasaki got a scent upon and we get to see Renji in the cafe working and don't forget Touka has appeared now and made contact with Sasaki honestly from that point they know that they are Acquainted with one another, I'm hoping for a more in-depth build-up by the two.

I wonder if it's a coincidence that in each Tokyo Ghoul series Kaneki has a different appearance 😂: black-haired Kaneki, white-haired Kaneki, Haise Sasaki with curly hair and a different voice. I must confess is kind of confusing to me 😅.

I think I need to be more patient with how the story develops, but so far I hate that it is suggested Kaneki's personality (according to the second season) was bad. In fact what I dislike is that in this series the good tendencies and the bad tendencies of Kaneki were split up leading to a double personality. I preferred Kaneki as a whole with conflicting tendencies within the same conscience.
