| Holy! That's the most diverse polling I've seen - all of them are in the 30's region. Woah. I finally learnt that eccentric guy's name, Nimura; he such great character, I always thought that he's carrying a deep secret... The amount of time es he should've been killed. Such a great twist. In other news, Arima is such a sore loser, just 'cause kaneki wasn't killing home he killed himself; sad way to see him -unless he's coming back to life or did he slice off his head.; I can't really tell (Hide. Please come back to life) |

| So this just turned into Kaneki's Bizarre Adventure eh? |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| This just doesn't make any sense. They are destroying tokyo ghoul... |

| Making one of the best fights in the manga and turning it into utter garbage. Godspeed. |

| I'm enjoying this trash of an adaptation! they even nerfed Nimu-dash! Truly unacceptable. |
 |
| Ken and Toka reunion was good but damn was it on bad timing. It seems like this season is more focus on ghoul side of Ken, but his hair does change a lot like his personality. The shirigami was superb in this episode in fact he was my highlight of the episode. I still don't get where is Ken's former investigation unit? It seems like they've been discarded somehow and I don't like it. |

SRASinister said: The manga's plot only started to fall downhill after this (Rushima) arc ended, i.e. the Goat Extermination arc. I actually like the two episodes so far quite a bit compared to the first re: season. Too many manga fans though complaining about the pace though when the 2nd part of the manga this is adapting from really went downhill any way. This arc is supposed to be the best thing the series could offer, but they decided to compress it in just 3 episodes, which also means they are adapting the utter garbage parts (rest of the manga) in 9 episodes. Pure excellence! lol tottobennington said: "Boruto filler episodes are definitely more important than a proper adaptation of a best-selling manga like Tokyo Ghoul." -Studio PierrotBAD direction, execution, & animation... to much still frames shaking.... I know pierrot is doing Black Clover & Boruto at the same time but... why did they thought that adding TG to the list of animes being animated at the same was a good idea? Kag5n said: Souta who? What Clown? So that doctor is supposed to be an important character? Are Anime-Only aware that Furuta was the one who made the bars fall on Rize and Kaneki at the very beginning of the story and that he is the clown "Souta" working with the Dr.Kanou who changed Kaneki into a ghoul ? It's a fact that we normally know since WAY before and the anime didn't even mention it recently. It's such a shame. I'm trying to represent anime-only viewers' thoughts on it. |

ImbalancedEmblem said: "What do you mean by 'Eto amped Kagune'? It was never mentioned/explained in the series." -anime-onlyOnly watched this week to see how they'd handle Kaneki vs Arima and I have several things to say... >Episode scoffs over Kaneki being suicidal plot point within minutes. >Episode censors the hell out of Kaneki's beatdown. >Episode skips over Arima's "weakness" being his eye and why Kaneki even won in the first place(using sound from his Eto amped Kagune as a distraction). >A dozen chapters condensed in a single episode with lackluster art/animation/storyboarding. Only reason I watched was because I loved Tokyo Ghoul and this was supposed to be the highlight of the series'... Dropped :P Also, Ken's right hand looks just fine like new, despite being cut-off by Kanae before. More importantly, during the fight, his clothes magically regenerate too, following his body regeneration. lol Actually, I agree with your points, being a manga reader myself. FuMomo-kun said: "What Black Reaper? There had never been such character in the series." -anime-onlyI had been looking forward to see the black reaper, and they cut out most of his scenes. Now, he is gone! Did anyone even get the chance to realise that Kaneki vs Arima was a fight between the white and black reapers? The conversation between Kaneki and Hide had made me extremely emotional in the manga. I had re-read the scene multiple times. They ruined that scene too. Kaneki was supposed to look like a mess when he talked to Hide, but here he looks so clean and proper. The voice actors did an amazing job with the scene. They were better than I'd expected, but the artists were too lazy. Why are Kaneki's severed limbs steaming? He isn't a titan! He was supposed to bleed. Kaneki's limbs got healed quite soon. I can ignore that change, though it would have been nice too see him struggle to stick his limbs back. Next episode, they're going to show some of the things that they have already spoiled in episode one. They could've just adapted it properly, and continued where the previous season had left off. The revelation of the kings would've been a great way to end the season, but it looks like it would be over by the next episode. The best parts about this episode were the voice acting and the music. Totally agree with your points. They seem to forget how ghoul is supposed to regenerate (shown in Season 1). Like you guys have said, I think it's the very fast pacing to blame for all this mess. |

| It's honestly so bad that it's good, who would have thought this could do so well as a comedy. Props to Pierrot for this shitshow |
| Whaaat? It feels like an episode at 2x speed. The Black Reaper only lasted 2 episodes lol. At least Furuta was funny. The other CCG characters are at Rue Island but I think that everything will be rushed like these two episodes. The sad part is that nothing is built-up or foreshadowed, things just... happen. This is just a worst version of Root A. |

| As an anime only who has kinda lost interest in this show ever since Root A, these episodes feel so random moving from one point to another with almost no coherency. I'm barely able to follow the story, I have no idea who some of these characters are and well whatever I guess. I loved the first season of the anime, Root A was okay but it's been downhill since then. Why is Arima supposed to be OP anyway? I have no idea why he's supposed to be so strong. I have zero clue on how Kaneki won, just looks like plot convenience to me. What are these powerups that Kaneki has? When did he get all those forms? I remember he had some weird form in Root A but it certainly didn't look like anything from this. I have no idea who Furuta is and what his role in everything is? I get that he's supposed to be some sort of mastermind or something but that's about all I know. The only reason I'm watching this is for best girl Eto, so when you cut down screentime on the only thing I want to see, you're kinda destroying the only thing I've been able to salvage from this show. XD |
 |
| It's like they're trying to ruin it. It was absolutely atrocious. |
 |
| Watching this is heartbreaking one of the best moments from the manga and we get this rushed unexplained garbage |
 |
| Good lord, this is just terrible! Even the tv version of the Op is just so abysmal(why would you want to just butcher the whole song into the shortened tv version, it just doesn’t sound right duh!) , while the full version is actually a really dope song! Not only did we see the end of Arima’s Fight with the trio early on, we also got to see what in my opinion was the most butchered fight ever in this franchise, Arima v Kaneki. It just didn’t feel like anything when all the fighting was on, it was just rushed and the story incoherent to the point where you couldn’t possibly feel anything for the Characters. Arima just slicing his neck in the end was like so out of place and boy rather hysterical, if you ask me. Clearly, Kaneki took more than sustainable damage throughout the fight and yet seemed more fine than Arima did xD. What was with the sudden power ups? It was just terrible! It made no bloody sense! Even the Hide-Kaneki scene which was supposed to be tear-jerking or at least saddening in some way was just thrown into the fray here and made it like a huge load of crap! I have no words, last Episode was quick as all hell but a little redeeming but this episode just absolutely blows that away. This Season is definitely already even worse than the previous, ffs. Seeing Tohka and Hina was the best scene of the episode, really touching to see that little scene between the two. Furuta just being Furuta was creepy but at least his character seems to be somewhat fairly interesting, I must say his VA is doing a really good job. Eto going down too easy was obvious from the manga but here it just felt like Eto was a weakling and nothing like that as we saw in Root A. Really disappointing! I didn’t have any expectation or even the slightest hope for this show, but even then I’m honestly super disappointed. I couldn’t possibly think Pierrot would do this to such a successful and well-renowned franchise, but here we go. *sigh* |

| I'm just enjoying how this trainwreck unfolds....and be done with it...i feel you manga readers... 3/5. |
 |
| I really don´t know whether is it worth writing again what I liked and disliked.. I mean, the OP is great, seiyuus are great, music is great. Animation and story telling is shitty. I came back to the manga chapters from this episode and felt pure emotions. Here, nothing. Too bad. TG deserves much, much better. And what is the reason to use masks if they call each other by their real names instead of nicknames? Kaneki´s legs are chopped off and he doesn´t even scream? And why came back to Rushima now? Nothing makes sense in this anime anymore. |

Lelouch0202 said: Actually, this arc is the last bit of the manga where all of its pieces are interconnected, coherent, and tied neatly to the original manga. Every little development of the characters was explained clearly in the manga, some of which are spectacularly mind-blowing, even. As an anime only who has kinda lost interest in this show ever since Root A, these episodes feel so random moving from one point to another with almost no coherency.

XD Well, look at what we get now. Yet a soulless adaptation with a despicable pacing and terrible animation, despite the 6-months break in-between the seasons. Same here. I'm watching this mess just to see our best girl, Eto. |

| Why this episode is rated low ?! The fight is like the best fight I have seen Tokyo Ghoul so far. It kept me at the edge of my seat |
| Tokyo ghoul re is absolute trash |
| Wew... They finished all those fights in this episode. The only thing bearable with this adaptation are the Furuta moments. |
 |
| I almost cry, not because it was emotional or anything(which is not, reunion and Hide scenes was very bland) but mecause they ruined everything good about manga, this fight when I was reading it I was hyped because prior this point nobody defeted Arima and because he had one blind spot Kaneki won and but Pierrot ruined eberything...this is sad, just sad |
  |
| Can someone explain to me why does Kaneki have white hair again? Did that happen in the manga? What caused it and how? |
| Like - The plot Unlike - They just killed off the two big boss like flies. And what's up with that Furuta acting like zetsu obito. |
 Holding on is believing that there's only a past. Letting go is knowing that there's a future. |
| still as boring and confusing as the last two seasons.. |
| So uh, how the hell is this getting even a 7? That's far too generous of you all. I read the manga, loved it for the most part but this anime is pretty much confirmed to adapt 10 chapters an episode. 10 15-18 full page chapters. Manga panels for comparison |
what_is_a_nova said: Can someone explain to me why does Kaneki have white hair again? Did that happen in the manga? What caused it and how? It did. From my point of view Kaneki´s hair change everytime he is going through some near-death experience or existential crisis (name it however you want). Close to death due to injuries from Arima, he met Hide who encouraged him to continue living. And "reborn" with white hair. |

They essentially cut around 10 chapters worth of detail and dialogue that was supposed to make any of this make sense. While it does happen in the manga it's supposed to be a much more impacting scene. The Arima vs Kaneki fight could have lasted an entire episode sadly they just rushed it and hoped you'd make sense. I think the explanation was essentially Yes, but in this case I think color of the hair represents some aspects of Kaneki´s personality rather then scientific explanation :) @Doots I agree with you. The scene when Kaneki awakens reminded me of a phoenix reborn from ashes. Pure beauty. If anything good comes from anime, it at least made me to reread the manga (again). Anyone who has not done it yet, go read the manga. Seriously. |
