wow this show keeps getting shittier each episode, the animation was awful and the plot is a giant mess, they don’t explain anything, this is supposed to be a sequel to Root A but there’s still lots of things you wouldn’t get if you didnt read the manga

This is not a sequel to root a , this is a sequel to part 1 of the tokyo ghoul manga so if you want to understand what is happening you have 2 choices :
1- Read the manga (Best choice) and you will understand everything
2- See spoilers for tokyo ghoul manga and search (not the best choice really)

ehh.

the action continues to disappoint with average animation.

Can't say that i care about the plot.. just random characters fighting one another.

Next episode needs TO PICK UP. Sasaki vs Takizawa must be something big with good animation or i will be depressed. Seriously loved Tokyo ghoul but this so far is not even close to the older seasons. (except episode 2 which was a banger)

The OST that played during the final sequence was so bad what the hell.

Takizawa was even more cringy in this episode than Kanae's "german"...

Well, I'm certainly done giving this waste of space of an anime any more time to change my opinion. For such a battle-focused series, Pierrot has really managed to fuck up all the fights they've done so far with only the barest of animations. Dropped.

Root A doesn't even exist haha Just ignore it, you're not supposed to assume anything from there. This anime is a sequel to the first manga, not Root A.

Hm, again I wasn't really impressed by this episode. Hopefully that can change next week (but I won't keep my hopes up).

At least the battles are somewhat entertaining, even if the animation isn't always the best.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

I am done with this. I don't really feel anything while watching this anime. Everything just feels lifeless and "plastic" to me and nothing feels impactful. Pacing is weird and way too fast. Animation is bad, especially during action scenes. Feels like 50 episodes of Boruto filler had a better animation than this.

Anyone else who looks a girl that is actually a boy? I'm here thinking Toru and the Shizuka are girls and turns out they are boys. Who's next the cute blond girl?

Anyway decent episode. Urie is still annoying. Hopefully next ep is good.

yeah, there are like 3-4 characters that look like the opposite to the sex they are given, some of them are revealed later on, you'll see which ones

How does the manga look smoother than the animation. I'm pissed the whole series has trash fight scenes until now not to mention the awkward position that some characters have in general ,although not in the episode itslef, a good example of this is haises position a the ending of the intro/opening. It pisses me off

Welcome to the first installment of "Urie gets the living crap beaten out of him".

Overall an alright episode if you compare it to previous ones (sadly that's what we have to do to make them look not terrible), Takizawa definitely carried the second half of it and animation was somewhat better (still not really good tho).

It disappoints me that we didn't see Saiko fight, would be pretty fun to see her just hit the ghouls with a hammer
I found Urie extremely annoying this episode (actually not just this episode) and the fact that he became so full of himself didn't help....

And here goes the cliffhanger. The first- and mid-part of this episode wasn't that interesting. Only as the end-part started, this one got me excited.

Biggest problem in this episode was the animation of course. But it’s not enough to ruin the episode for me. Everything in this episode was pretty much in the manga so I give it a 4/5.

Eh. I feel like reading the manga at this point would just be better. I do like Haise a lot though. He's cool. Nice to see Takizawa make a return, but also very confused about that. How in the world did the ghouls get a hand of him? Very interesting to see that explained later on. I don't want to be one of those people, but I do miss the old cast. Not that I don't like the current people like Saiko and Shirzo, but I miss Touka lol. At this point I doubt we get much from her if anything at all. Oh well. At least Hina finally interacts with Haise.

I know it was intentional, but Takizawa killing that girl because she didn't paid attention to his classes was really hilarious.

Takizawa edgy as always XD.

This episode was ok, i guess. I think that the animation was weird in the first half. 3/5

I thought this was a good episode though it looks like a lot of people don't think so. Pretty mixed opinions here. I liked how there was a lot more action in this episode than in the other episodes. This also has to be one of the goriest episodes in not just :re, but in Tokyo Ghoul in general.

once again the sfx is horrendous, that scene w/nutcracker wasn't as dark or terrifying as it should've been, not to mention the animation is just god awful as well. sigh, idk what I expected from this adaptation. At least Pineapple-kun is enjoyable.

It's that the best this show can do? I'm really considering give this show a 2 after this episode. Pathetic plot, not a single interesting character, extremely bad animation and horrendous ost. This show is easily the best cotender for the worst of the year

Dammit, if the series ran for longer... Then why not. But this is only twelve episodes so I'd like to have seen more happening; but I did like this episode -even if it was slow paced.

The good thing about this series is that they are good for killing characters, I like to see deaths but I'd prefer them to be a little !ore high profile, rather than some loosely known character.

Is this Uta, no. Why. Where's the sclera inking. Please don't be him

P.S.
Does anyone else ever feel like this always happens to them when they eat; like somebody is staring at them

Great episode with some really nice action.

Own is just straight out crazy and Nut Cracker is just brutal. That guy who had his 'Nut Cracked', the poor soul.

Urie is pretty selfish, always wanting to find a way he can show off.
It does look like he got wrecked by Madam. I don't think he's dead though or is he?

I'm thinking the same thing; how could such a very popular manga get this abominable treatment.
The studio could keep on extending zero-plot Boruto with tons of filler episodes presented with decent animation, then why don't treat Tokyo Ghoul fairly in the least? +_+
It's really beyond me...
I just realized that all of my favorite characters, beside being stunningly beautiful, also happen to be exceptionally skilled murder machines. \('-')/

Another ok episode. It was pretty off putting that all these events were kind of hard to follow in the manga so seeing this operation in the anime doesnt do it any favors. The animation was slightly better, especially for Nutcracker but other than that, Takizawa and save for Urie and Suzuya, everything else was kind of a bore.

Things feeling lifeless and plastic, imo, has less to do with the animation and more to do with the lack of story/character development in this arc.

A problem with these past couple episodes is that we've just getting a bunch of throw away characters dying left and right to the point there's no immersion with any of them. If we saw the group walk into a room with Nutcracker standing on top several corpses, it would have made little difference to wasting our time showing us her killing completely random nobodies for a few minutes that could have been used as screen time for characters that mattered.
