This was a good episode, the backstory was sad, and I am guessing the CCG are going to go ape on anteiku next week

You can't complain!, 'nuff said.

on another note it feels like this anime has a bad soundtrack.
Also the raid will happen in this route too, ha

First 6 minutes of the episode was good. But the pacing of this season just seems to slow to me. Episode felt really really dragged. I hope they can wrap everything up and that this anime picks up because at the moment its been quite boring

They adapted Yoshimura backstory very well.
They didn't really show Ukina eating but It should be able to figure out what she had to do to keep her child alive.
Build up episode seems things are going to get started with that ending of the doves gathering ever closer.
The Ost is really good going to get.

Great Episode :D

So is he kuzen? I'm not sure... At the end of the episode, he mentions the name of his love so he's the owl. And there's another one-eyed owl as mentioned in the flashback. That's not kuzen or yashimora(idk) because kuzen has both eyes. Does this mean that there are two owls?

yoshimura's backstory adaptation was good. But still wanted that human flesh eating scene to be animated.
Apart from that a few questions
Why would kaneki suddenly show interest in owl?
And how did the CCG got information regarding anteiku? just by takatsuki sen's word ??

It was a good episode. It felt a bit overly dragged, but i guess they can't just move in with the next stage halfway through the episode.

Yoshimura's story was done well, though i didn't like how that ''organisation'' wasn't explained at all, not even their name was mentioned, it just felt random and fodder, which is so not the case. On the other hand, i didn't expect Shinohara to come by Anteiku again, the talk between him and Yoshimura was so good. They both knew what was going to happen in a few hours, yet the atmosphere was so peaceful. If i was in Shinohara's place i'd probably ask myself whether what i'm doing is right or wrong.

I am really curious what's gonna happen during the Anteiku Raid, and particularly if a certain someone will even show up, since this is an alternate route.

4/5

Episode full of sentimentality, some explanations were made and the introduction to a great battle was given

This is the main battle of the manga, so I thought it was good she take a few episodes of the anime, I expect a great adaptation to this end ..

Who's that again?

This was a great episode. Really like how Yoshimura's past was handled. No complaints really. We also got to see Ukina. I think this episode was executed pretty well. If this anime was 24 episodes it might have actually been great.

The ending illustrations get me once again. Ishida is really pleasing us manga readers with it :)

Watched it 3 times already but I still don't get it.... Is the manager the '' one eyed ghoul'' or is he the father? Why was there a flashback of him in the owl costume then? Cause he was saying 'My son' like...his son is the owl right? And those uhm... how do you call them? Those people that go after the ghouls... they said that the manager is the owl right? Gosh this is so confusing @_@

My philosophy is that the most important thing, even more than where beans are from is how you approach each of them.

Your approach must vary, depending on the bean. Just because some beans are expensive, if you brew them without care they will not turn out well. The opposite is also true. Even cheap beans can become flavorful, if you carefully brew them to bring out their special qualities.


It still makes me sad how Yoshimura's dream of having ghouls and humans peacefully existing with not be realized.
Also I'm not sure what kind of data Shinohara collected after he visited Anteiku. They are most peaceful ghouls in the world, they don't even attack anybody. They just eat suicide victims - wait.
It still looks like they are attacking anteiku based on a rumor they received from Takatsuki Sen last episode though.

Yoshimura's first name is Kuzen. He is the father in the story he was telling.
They are being vague and confusing on purpose to confuse you. it should be cleared up for you in the following episodes about Owl.
Just think back in episodes how it was mentioned that the owl they fought in episode 1 felt different from the one they fought before. That "it felt as if they fighting an old man"

-------
also are subtitles wrong? Is what Yoshimura said really "my son" or "my child" because the subtitles have been wrong before when it comes to referring a gender that has been reference neutrally in Japanese.

This is probably my favourite episode of season two so far. That's not saying much per se, but I'm pleased. The last few cafe scenes were intense. I could almost physically feel the tension, even though the director was showing restraint. He didn't resort to any (or many) cheap tension building tactics; rather, he let the tension build itself.

Yeah he was great in this episode, although a few times (because of his stylized old man eyes) I wasn't sure what, if anything, he was looking at, haha.
