tearofmankind said: Aardwolf94 said: I would recommend reading the manga This is complete garbage and they butchered the story and characters (especially in the second season). I definitely would but this left bad taste in my mouth. Very understandable. Give it a few months or a year and then read it. Its definitely worth it |
| That last scene though. 1 single shot naturally lasting for 2 minutes! That's something that almost no director in this world can do, and as well as they did it in this episode. That single shot almost nullifies the flaws with this season |
 |
| Okay! Question time- Like what happened to Amon? Is he dead? Did he just lose an arm? I know nothing next to nothing about Aogiri yet, the twins, the prisoner dude from Cochlea. What happened to Kaneki at the end? Did Arima kill him? Who the fuck is Arima supposed to be anyway? What is Eto's purpose/goals? What was the point of her interviewing Shinohara a couple episodes back? Isn't it her fault that the raid on Anteiku even happened? |
| I guess they made this season assuming that everyone who will be watching the Anime has already read the manga. For me, Season 1 outweighs √A. I enjoyed every minute of season 1. Kaneki's struggle to stay human, his relationship with members of Anteiko cafe, His ideals not to kill anyone, especially the last episode where he decides to loose his humanity in order to protect everyone. So yeah Season 1, for me, was bomb. √A was good. lots of feels. I hated when they attacked the cafe. I gotta admit though √A had more emotional episodes than Tokyo Ghoul. But I didn't like the way they ended the Anime. Unanswered questions, Characters with poor backstory, for someone who hasn't read the manga this season was 'not so good'. At the end It is just my personal opinion |

| So Hide probably died as well? Somehow until proven no one is really dead, just look as Shinohara. Kaneki fighting Arima can't possible go well for him though, wonder what will happen there :o Also Touka just opened a new cafe like that? She must have a nice bank account to do that so suddenly. Overall this season was way more enjoyable to me than season 1. I guess the hate it receives comes mostly from manga readers who dislike that they made an original story instead of following the source material. As a non-manga reader that doesn't concern me though, so I had fun. 6/10 |
| No Arima VS Kaneki fight and no introduction of Haise T-T and rip Hide i cri |

| Intensive episode in terms of feelings. I feel bad for Hide. I kinda liked him, he was a fine supportive hero and Ken's human friend. How about the whole anime? It was fine, although I will give it a score worse than I gave for basic "Tokyo Ghoul". Why? Because of chaos in the direction of episodes. It's not that they were that much different, but the thing is... I felt chaos in the way they were directed. It made the story harder to catch on, plus the episodes were too diverse internally, which I can hook into the chaos I mentioned above. To be more precise: instead of fluently moving action we had a mess: very slow scenes, then very fast scenes out of blue, again slow scene, then another slower scene, then action etc. Beat in mind I'm not talking about Episode 12 in particular. I'm talking about my general feelings on all episodes. |

| Pretty OK... that's about it. Enjoyed Season 1 more. I feel like there are some great characters here, but they were underutilized. World is interesting but pacing was a hotmess. I *may* watch the Re: series for the characters and such... but I may not. 6/10. |
  |
| I have to say after this episode especially that the manga just got ruined by a poor first season and not even an adaptadion for the 2.Season the Arima vs Keneki fight and everything From Kano to even the depth that the manga had with the howl Bird cage didnt even got a mention its just sad |
 |
| non manga reader well, anyone watching the opening could guess how this season couldve played out. was expecting the same intense fights we got from the first season. it wasnt as intense as the first season, as most of the time cannon fodders dropped like flies. also it felt lacking in story, like a bunch of holes here in there. as others said, the manga is probably better, should pick it up later on as later seasons are getting hated on more. |
| anime/manga version of steam would be awesome - https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1625396 |
| Lots of shots of blood dripping on the floor this episode. Guys, do you think Hide is bleeding? I think Studio Pierrot is really trying to hammer home the fact that Hide is bleeding. But I could be wrong. Accepting all analytical essays on this topic. |

Well yes, the manga IS better but the anime is still good imo |
hello |
| Fuck this a lot of people died in season 2 i mean overall this season was good but theres still a lot of unanswered questions that still bothers me since season 1 until now.The only problem in this series is theres a lot of hole in the story and the anime didnt explain it very well.The strongest point of this are the characters and how diverse its plot. I have its flaws but its still enjoyable to watch |
| B O C C H I S W E E P |
| Well this season was so much more confusing than the first one, I understood like 30-40% of what happened, it was still fine though. |
 |
| Emotional end...quite a lot of deaths because of the war, Hide was a good friend, if only Kaneki would have told him....Hide wouldn't have tried to figure out more things about the ghouls and gone onto the ba Even though this season had some great moments, it could have been a better adaptation like why didn't they use CCR gas earlier on, who the hell is Arima, how many Arata are available and why they cut off some parts of the manga like the fight Arima vs Kaneki that occured in the manga |
 |
| What a mess, even as a anime only viewer.... I will ignore how Hide managed to run away from Noru without being eaten/shallow like the other guy, but how did he even know that Kaneki will be back to Anteiku? They have telepathy or something? Also is Kaneki a dumbass or something running straight to a bunch of CCG members and especially that Arima guy just like that? And people here said he's killed... offscreen.... Wtf? What a load of crap is this... |
prrrrrfff this adaptation is quite meeeehhhhh |
 |
| The real ending to Tokyo Ghoul. :re can burn in hell for what it did to the series. |
| RIP Anteiku and Hide.... <3 Love the use of Unravel in the last episode. This was a very good episode and I can't wait to start the next season; however, most of this season wasn't the best so I'll give it a 7/10. Season 1 was better in my opinion, but I still enjoyed this one. |
| No surprise that Hide knew the whole time. There were many subtle moments when it was fairly obvious he was aware of Kaneki being a ghoul. I hope Hide is okay. I’m also surprised even though Kaneki wasn’t attacking anyone they didn’t try to go after him when he was in the presence of so many CCG officers. I’m assuming it was because he was holding Hide but it still surprised me. Definitely going to watch the next season just for some things I hope are cleared up. |
 |
| Normal ending and Unravel time with instrument |
| Does no one ever die in this anime? How the hell are they still alive? What is the point of having an emotional scene for them and then the next moment it's like nothing happened? And when it does happen it is totally outta nowhere At least Unravel played at the end. What was that ending? I didn't like it. |
| I personally liked this ending, although it really doesn't touch the manga ending imo. The scene with Kaneki walking through the snow with Hide's body was surprisingly emotional for me, in no small part due to the piano version of Unravel being played. These last few episodes I thought were all quite good, but I can't bring myself to give this show a high rating due to just how poor some of the previous episodes were. The entire Cochlea arc felt pretty much pointless and the animation was pretty bad in a lot of the previous episodes as well. It was awesome seeing some of my favorite scenes from the manga get animated and voice acted, but overall I don't think this adaptation comes close to the original manga. |

It was awesome seeing some of my favorite scenes from the manga get animated and voice acted, but overall I don't think this adaptation comes close to the original manga. I really feel the same, I read Tokyo Ghoul and :Re 2 years ago and loved it, even if it was really complicated with many different characters and completely WTF at the end of :Re XD. Regarding to this season, I have mixed feelings ; I would not say I hated it because I really like how the kagune are animated and kind of understand some of the choices that have been made with the story. As a manga reader I was able to relate to and understand most of the story (even if the Cochlea arc was really messy and abrupt). However, I can't help wondering how can a studio not be following the manga so much and modify completely the story, especially when it is one of the best selling mangas of the decade. Some aspects omitted, especially the ones related to Hide, are key elements in the manga... They probably should have done 3 seasons to cover the whole story, and that would have avoided the plot holes in the Cochlea arc. When it comes to rating I am very much in a dilemma : I don't want to rate this too badly because I enjoyed watching it, but I really don't appreciate how they basically trampled on the mangaka and his work. How did he like this anime btw ?! |
| Kaneki and Hide got to talk a little bit about what happened between them in the past and now Hide has seen Kaneki's Kakugan I like this episode break from all of the action that happened between the Humans and the Ghouls a little bit of a pause from all the bloodshed that's been going on lately and they really did it they played the OP from last season "Unravel" I miss that song and a good way to bring it back From the cloth that was hanging from Hide, I knew that something was similar to be frank it was from the anime's promotional picture A good way to end this season and I must say I loved it as how the story progression goes and so on. |

| bru dafuq is dis shii lmaoooooooooooooo |
 |
| fine enough finale. I feel bad for touka for having to go through all that but sadly I spoiled years ago on the hide thing which is inevitable considering how popular the series is. I thought this season was alright. I liked some parts and I didn't enjoy some |
 |
| There's a lot of problems I noticed while watching the 2nd season but as the last few episodes came, I was deeply affected by the scene were Kaneki is carrying Hide. I knew that it is already ending & predicted that Unravel will play. The thing that bothered me while watching the last eps was Touka running in circles doing nothing the past 3 episodes. |

| so instead of dealing with the threat of the ghouls rampaging different sectors they create a massacre over a quaint coffee shop just minding their own business? yep that's government for ya |
 |
| WTF was this season?? "Random thing happens because obvious" And OMG the humans in this franchise are probably the dumbest people in anime I've seen. Random woman says "coffee shop kinda sus" and instead of making an actual investigation, the dude goes there and has coffee two times and decides "yep, my gut is telling me this is the guy" and they just raid it. And not only that, but before doing so they broadcast the actual place they're going to attack on TV... I just-- |
