| THEY RUINED SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SERIES Tokyo ghoul was my most favourite anime ever but the ending... they could have done it way better... everyone saw rize coming in the ending like comon. they make the ending so peaceful and cute it became a bit weird. you could have just given a tragic ending smh. still tokyo ghoul will be one of my most favourite anime for the first and 2nd seasons.  |

| Haise has now fallen asleep... It's time for Kaneki to wake up! "YUME WA MOII" That's an awesome phrase to say! Welcome back, Black Kaneki! Damn, even though it's not a head-to-head fight, Kaneki did manage to defeat Eto the One-eyed-owl! I don't know what he's planning, but I'm 100% she's not even dead. That's a cool way to die Shirazu... I am not even that fond of him a character in this short 12 episodes, but his death is actually impactful, I can feel the feels! In addition to that, seeing how his squad members and especially Urie who actually cried for him and being so worried about him dying just make the moment even more emotional. He's been a great brother and friend from how it seems so. Press F to pay respect F Kaneki throwing the blame onto Urie saying that Shirazu died because Urie was weak definitely got Urie wanting for more power. This season was alright... Its pacing was off in some episodes, fight scenes and death scenes underwhelming in most but a few occurrences, however! It also got its share of enjoyable and fantastic scenes! Hopefully the next season I'm about to watch will be better than this, especially now since Kaneki is finally back! |
  |
| I actually thought this was more watchable than the first two seasons. 4/10 |
 |
| So Kaneki got hit as a kid by his mom ... Damn Shirazu with that hole, shame after they just defeated the ghoul. Honestly, I enjoyed this season a lot more than season 2. Maybe not as good as season 1 was but at least we had some interesting stories and some decent action. 8/10 |
 |
| A very good binge. I never expected this series would be so captivating that I'd binge the entire first cour so quickly. Although it was only thanks to all the manga readers summarizing missing details for me in forums that I was able to fully enjoy it . Haise's situation being resolved as Kaneki trying to have a "happy dream" was oddly a nice natural way to end this weird multiple personality issue. |
| Well, that was fairly underwhelming. I don't even say that as a manga reader, either. Even now, I can go back to iconic scenes from the first two seasons that still get the adrenaline flowing. Despite whatever cuts or alterations they made, the first Tokyo Ghoul still had exceptionally breakthrough moments that made them badass all on their own. With :Re, however, I didn't sense any of that. It felt markedly different. Less twisted & gritty. Tokyo Ghoul was filled with all kinds of warped, insane jaw droppers that made my skin crawl and my stomach turn over. With :Re, it was really just...shock value. Lots of blood and gore. It felt like everything was a serious downgrade from the previous seasons. The battles, the execution, the atmosphere. Even the music only really stood out when it rehashed tracks from the first season. Ultimately, :Re didn't feel as coherent and compelling even despite having less ground to cover than the first two seasons. I was going to watch :Re S2 after I finished the manga, but perhaps I'll just leave it untouched. Clock out while I can still say that the anime is decent for what it does. 6.5/10. When all is said and done, I still think it was decent. Just a serious far cry from its predecessors. |

| Damn the characters i cared about this season died, the pink haired girl and shirazu, at least hinami and touka still alived doe. Despite its flaws i still enjoyed this but season 1 and 2 are much better especially in fighting scenes and pacing. Also theres a less touka scenes in this season which sucks. |
| B O C C H I S W E E P |
| Was that Shirazu's body bag with him in it being stolen at the end? If it was I guess he'll be coming back as a ghoul. |
| Wow Kaneki is actually back and he's way more charismatic than before, I totally prefer him in this version. For the anime itself it was average, meh story and poor animation but kinda captivating and it wasn't really bad to watch, Tokyo Ghoul first season was still really better than this imo |
 |
| It felt rushed, but that's how it is with most 13 episodes anime. They could have made the season longer by adding more details from the manga. I haven't read it, but I can say that it was good enough for me. I felt no attachments to any of the characters as they weren't given enough time to develop. I also didn't see a lot of action due to how rushed it was compared to the first two seasons, which was probably not the main focus. What stood out to me was the story and the visuals. It was enough for me to keep watching it and not feel bored one bit. It was enjoyable, but forgettable. They had some great ideas, but the execution could've been A LOT better. If it did I probably would've given it a perfect score. 7/10 for me which is good but NOT that good. |
| this show got worse every season... I don't think I'll stick around for cour 2. |
  |
| Kaneki ken is back, took some time but the beast is back and damn he is strong as hell being able to defeat owl Rip Shirazu, my favorite member of the team I have to say this season quite lacked the amount of action that they had in previous seasons, I also noticed a dip in animation quality at times which kind of bugged me There were quite a lot of characters for which I just didn't care about or were just there for a moment to just die secondds later, also I don't really understand the point of the Quinx unit as they never explained it. Those members look more like a group of misfits rather than a team composed of specially selected people who work for the CCG. Like Saiko felt totally pointless and was just there for comedic effect. As an anime only viewer i got quite confused at times so I wish they didn't cut that many parts from the manga like Kuzen gave away Eto is a totally different story than what was told at the end of S1 |
 |
| 2 years after finishing the disappointing :re manga, I decided to watch this season already knowing how much content it will cover. I can say this season isn't that bad actually. There is some details and small bits that are skipped similar to TG S1 but that is expected. Pacing is fast and this resulted in scenes and stuff not feeling impactful enough, I think TG S1 was better in the pacing. Animation is mediocore and this did annoy me, but it's still better than some of the shit I saw in Root A. the fights are very lackluster but it was the same in the manga. Nice Op and I really liked the ED. It's been a while since I liked an ED. It was nice to see all the characters animated. But something felt off with Suzuya and I'm not talking about the obvious new haircut or behaviour but it could just be me. I prefer his original look anyway. Shirazu's death scene felt really sad and seeing Urie getting emotional gave me the feels. The death scene felt more emptional than in the manga for me because I had some doubts back then. 6/10 This was alright overall, the first season of the original is still the best season and Root A remains the worst while :re S1 is between them. Now to the second cour of :re... |
| What a hot mess this season was, from the start I did not know what was going on at all. I did not recognize most characters and the point where the story picked off was completely unknown to me. Lots of deaths I did not care about, at least with Shirazu in the very end I felt a bit sad. Also the worst character got saved by the best character, not the ending I wanted to see. Overall better than season 1, but worse than season 2. 5/10 |
| Since it's been around 3 months that I've finished the manga, I can't differentiate it properly from the manga anymore for not clearly remembering every detail, so because the anime is mediocre and disappointingly bland in production, I skimmed through the anime solely for the action scenes overall, along with any intriguing drama or favorite character moment instead of forcing myself to tediously watch every second of a bad adaption that I can't fully enjoy. Unfortunately I can't point the differences myself but the wiki fandom reveals them extremely well, and even though I don't remember I can feel that a lot was left out. There are seconds in the scenes of action that are epic but overall they're disappointingly mediocre with bland directing of sequence and choreography. I'm not sure how to clearly explain it without knowing what they're called but a lot of the special effects suck. Although it surprisingly is better in the second half. Aside from it not being fully faithful to the manga with mediocre action, it's decent. To the point that it's fairly good near the end for what it adapted even though it skipped a huge amount of content of good scenes. 7.5/10. |

| Okay so this was trash |
| This Kaneki seems different with the old one. I feel this Kaneki is more badass. Story is messed up and so rush. |
| They just killed the pink haired waifu. T___T |

| Haise comes hand in hand between Kanae and It was not looking good Damn it Shirazu is dead really an emotional scene that happened right there sad to see him go, Kaneki is putting up an intense battle between Eto and I must say he is still as strong as before or yet maybe stronger I don't know whether Eto was serious or not but I know there's more coming from Eto than just that Kanae had the thing she wants now and I think she's happy that it was fulfilled and Tsukiyama was alive, Urie got told the Bitter Truth by Haise All in all, wasn't the best but I still enjoy watching it and watching how each individual portrays their fights but I guess a little bit rushed at certain things or maybe the pacing wasn't good as it should be, but glad I completed it. |
  |
| Pacing is still messy but I didn't think it was an awful finale. The eto fight was decent but as a whole, this season was more of a miss tbh. It was hard to follow |
 |
| I appreciate kaneki slicing eto in half before they could say any more annoying stuff. It was a meh finale I only liked the eto and kaneki fight and last 2 mins. |
| Kaneki is back and I didn't expect him to be this ruthless and powerful. He beat that One Eyed Owl like nothing. I remember it was such a menace back in S2. Shirazu really died? I thought he'd live since he was still regenerating somehow. So, that's how Noro looks like behind the mask. I thought he's unbeatable. Kanae is a Karren? so he is a she? 7/10 |
| So I have finally finished the season. There is a lot to say about it, so here is my comment: (Since I haven't read the manga, I can't make any comparisons to it.) On the one hand, it's good! The realisation is well done, as are the animations. Story-wise, on the one hand, it was definitely worth watching and the variety of genres like action, horror, mystery etc. was maintained compared to the previous two seasons. The new team of investigators (new characters) is also basically a good idea. But that brings us to the big weakness of this episode: Tokyo Ghoul:re simply has very little to do with the two seasons before it. When I finished season 2, I expected it to pick up exactly where it left off. But no: there's a big time jump (nothing bad, actually) into an almost different story. (But) Suddenly there are ghouls fighting on the side of the humans. But why? In general, these 12 episodes seem very compressed, like they're trying to simplify a story for which 20 episodes would be appropriate. I mean, there's fighting in almost every episode, which doesn't seem varied to me personally. That brings us back to the point of manga: I probably just lack information that is there and that's why I feel a bit stupid watching it (for example, it takes me a long time to remember new names). Also: I specifically don't like the idea that Ken doesn't really exist anymore and can never unfold his consciousness again or something like that (or I just understood it wrong). These are points where I wish the previous Tokyo Ghoul would return. I wouldn't call this season bad by any means, but some things could have been done better. |
| Gah this season was trash (imo) Only ep I even half liked was this last episode. Smh |
| it has been years since reading the manga so my memory is a little hazy but strictly as a standalone i liked the anime. Kaneki kyun is back in town boyz and is going to turn it upside down |
