| Is the anime so bad that it can't stand on its own? I was wondering if I could watch it before reading the manga, or if I should read the manga exclusively. |

romagia said: Bingoits like a worse version of shiki It's unoriginal, the characters are stupid and annoying, and nobody does anything that makes sense. Motives are vague and unexplained, and the whole thing just feels like a big excuse to draw "gritty" action scenes and gore fanservice. |

| manga is almost always better then the anime adaptation... however, tokyo ghoul anime is still far from being bad... i mean, come on, look at tose other shows -.- ... it was for sure one of the best in 2014... though, those comments... it really surprised me... i thought it was well received... :3 |

| I kind of put off watching it because i saw the negative reactions, but once I actually sat down and gave it a chance I REALLY liked it. I have not read the manga and likely never will. Just judging the show solely as an anime, i think it is easily an 8/10 or 9/10. its certainly better then a lot of the crap that's come out recently. |
PriestSlayer said: I just can't understand how someone that has read the manga can possibly say this adaptation is good. When you are an anime-only watcher, and you can 'feel' the rushing, you know there's something really wrong Yeah something just 'felt' off with this anime. raenydays said: From what I gather, the people who have read the manga hate the anime for its poor adaptation. For those people who haven't read the manga, they probably hate the anime because it had too much hype before it aired and when it finally did, everyone's expectations were shattered. I feel this way too. I haven't read the manga but I've heard a lot about it before it was released. People kept talking about it and it got me intrigued and thinking there's a really awesome anime coming. When I finally watched it? My reaction: "Err... What?" I didn't hate the anime, but it did leave me wondering just what I was watching. There were nice moments and I liked quite a bit of the characters but as far as the storyline went... it left me mostly confused and when I reached the final episode, hanging. My thoughts EXACTLY!

| Having watched the anime thinking it was awesome, and then being confused by all the people on here saying it's a rubbish adaptation and they cut loads of character development out I decided to read the manga. To my surprise the manga is pretty much like 90% the f%*king same as the anime! There was hardly anything cut at all! Some scenes were rearranged that I thought actually worked better in the anime. And maybe 2 chapters of the manga were cut out. Overall they did a very good job of condensing the first 7 volumes of the manga into just 12 episodes. I honestly don't think they could do a better adaptation in 12 episodes. The animes fight scenes were amazing and much better than the manga, also you have the great visuals and music and voice acting in the anime, and the blood and gore was awesome! Also extra scenes they added like keneki getting the shit beaten out him was one of the best parts of the anime. So yeah I think people bitching about this being a bad adaptation really don't know what a bad adaptation is. |

| Bad adaptation. However I find season 1 to be rather faithful to the manga, season 2 they just went monkeys and forgot about the plot. I still enjoyed it though, less so for season 2. |

Good points I really despise Tokyo Ghoul (ANIME) at this point. Studio Clown Ruined a good manga series and ROOT A is one of the worst things I seen in anime. |
| Dunno, it felt to me like a worse version of Deadman Wonderland, and I didn't particularly care for DMW anyway, sooooo |
 |
| I reviewed this, actually. I don't think it's extremely horrible. It was poorly executed, the character development was sloppy, and it used adrenaline scenes to draw in its target audience too much. When I paid attention to the scenes that weren't adrenaline focused, focused on character development, story line development, and how the episodes strung together, it all seemed poorly done to me. I don't believe it deserves half of the hype it's gotten. |

| a lot of times if a decent anime gets a lot of hate than it`s probably because of the manga readers. |
| Not everyone likes the same things, get over it. Some say it repeats itself badly. |

| Tokyo Ghoul Root A isn't a bad adaptation . It was made like that intentionally . |
| Wohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo |
| Shitty adaptation from Studio Perriot. |

| well I am going to make a list: 1. the ghouls feeding needs are unsustainable; they are too many. in just a 1-3 years they will depopulate the entire area. that is because humans have a small reproduction rate i.e. it takes a lot of time for humans to reproduce and do not have many offspring. 2. we are supposed to sympathize with creatures that eat humans. I do not care your conditions if you eat humans you will find no sympathy from me. 3. ghouls in Tokyo Ghoul break the ghoul lore in a similar way to Twilight 4. meat is meat. It has mostly the same chemical composition. They want to seem reasonable but they could find alternatives from pork meat dipped in coffee to other alternatives. Vampires in myths developed synthetic blood, we developed vegetable cheese and so on. They do not even try. 5. is vegan propaganda 6. the whole invulnerability to blades makes no sense. It was never in the lore and is just like Twilight 7. The main character is a wuss. 8. No matter how corrupt ghoul hunters may be in the end the ghoul population must be severely decreased 9. It is a question about the fly and the spider TRIGUN http://myanimelist.net/anime/6/Trigun did it much better. In this case there is no question: is just humans against the ghouls. For humans to survive ghouls must die. On the other hand ghouls will die either way because their feeding patterns are unsustainable even when eating suiciders. Top predators have a diverse diet live long and reproduce rare. If they do not follow these rules they are going to be extinct. |
SpookyGhosty said: Last night I sat through the entire series and overall it was alright. I didn't see anything "Extremely Horrible", yes a few cliches but honestly overall I would recommend it to someone who wants to watch an anime to keep them interested. So I guess the real question is, why/how did "Tokyo Ghoul" accumulate so much hate? It's disgusting because of cannibalism. |
| Maybe because of all the gore and stuff? |

Top predators have a diverse diet live long and reproduce rare. If they do not follow these rules they are going to be extinct. 1) Ghouls have less offspring because most die, they also consume each other as well as humans. Basically it probably works, the percentage of ghouls to humans is really small. 2) Meh, edge kun. 3) They can be pretty and also fucking scary 4) RC cells 5) It definitely is, fucking vegans! 6) Exactly just like fucking twilight. 7) IKR 8) Ghoul hunters are led by ghouls 9) Entirely true, their solution as Ghouls (v) would be becoming humans/half humans tl;dr your a massive troll fgt have a kiss you ignore what I said. it does not matter how fast ghouls reproduce. What it matters is how fast their food source reproduces and reaches maturity and how much ghouls consume in that time. Ghouls consume 12 adult humans/year. That may not seem much but if you consider how long it takes for a human to reach maturity is a lot. And there are a lot of ghouls. They are at least 50 ghouls by district. one district has around 54.000 people . And those ghouls eat at least 750 people a year. It may not seem much but in the 25 years it takes a human to reach adulthood it makes 18.500 people. That is more than one third of population and if we account for gluttons and such we can assume the number reaches half the population. Hunting apex predators in such a manner usually leads to extinction. Humans are worse than others because modern human does not produce so many children . Most animals produce a litter of 4-12 progeny each year and they mature in 2 years. Humans produce 1-2 children which mature in 25 years. And maybe I am a massive troll but it does not change the fact that I am right. Death to the Ghouls! |
| Personally, I found the plot really boring. (I liked the plot for first 30 chapters of the manga, but I got really bored after Kaneki got a strong power buff...) Also, there were too many characters for me to remember. It's all just opinions though. |
| I didn't like the anime It was horse shit but the manga is not that great i found it boring it can't compare to other of the same genre. |
| Liking traps is gay and liking Lolis is Pedophila. Come at me bruh! |
| I ended up reading the manga myself and it seems the first season followed it relatively close and then season 2 came out and completely fell flat. |
MrPerfectDerp said: Maybe because of all the gore and stuff? Lol, that is most definitely not the reason. |
 |
| The show tries to portray the ghouls as being misunderstood creatures, despite the fact that they need to eat people to survive. The ghouls deserve to be wiped out. |
| I haven't read the manga and I really didn't care for the anime (so much so I removed the manga from my to-read list, but seeing everyone saying it's so much better, I may come back to it when I run out of stuff to read). I didn't like it because I felt it was overdramatic. I felt like Attack on Titan on stereoids with all the angst these characters had, and I just didn't buy it for anyone but the MC. I hated most of the supporting cast, felt things rushed too fast, cliche . . . Really all I liked was the Opening and Closing animation and songs. |
 |
| Lol manga isn't that good either,it just an ok manga with gore and godly art.The biggest flaw of tokyo ghoul[including manga and anime] is that the action taken by characters doesn't make any sense.It only got famous because of mangaka art[Not gonna lie mask are fucking cool in TG] and gore. |

| It was alright at best. Had a few good moments but overall in the big picture, it's a shit show. But it could just be me having high expectations; I expected so much more than what I got, so there's that bias I guess. |
 |
| The average score is 8, but if you look at the top-rated reviews its around 5. I've seen this a lot of times and I've only come to this one conclusion - "experts" deliberately give shows with high score a low one, so that they can act as if they see and understand more than anyone else and feel superior.Its as if they see flaws that no one else does because they're so good at watching anime. Its the same people that give boring anime a high score for being "deep" claiming that they see it in a different light. Thats why its much better to look at the average score, rather than the review ones. So in short - why does it receive low score? Most likely so that people can brag how sophisticated their anime watching skills are. |
| Gib [img] plz |
| i'm not sure tbh i love it hahah . @Malachite_2000 says something about how the ghouls are in the wrong just because only 1% choose not to eat humans. Well to ghouls, even though they have other choices like eating an already dead human, they see themselves as a superior race and that humans are simply food. Just like people and eating meat. It's the same thing. Plus with the killing on both sides ghouls don't feel like they even have to find another way to eat. i wanna talk about the other points you've made but honestly don't want to type all of it out hahah I agree things were really rushed, but i really didn't think its that terrible. I'm just hoping they reboot it or something. |
   |
| I dislike it because it could be so much more than it was. I didn't love the manga either tho. |
 |
| I feel like mainly the people who read the manga seem to not like it, I enjoyed it but haven't read the manga yet. Also, there was a lot of complaining about the censoring. |
| Lol season 1 of the anime and the manga are 90 percent the same. So people saying it's a bad adaptation are talking shit. Some People hate it because they are trying to be cool by jumping on the hate train because it is popular, and stupid people who live in their mums basements and have nothing better to do then hate on popular anime like to have a bash at it. |
