| I'm happy Touka beated the s*** out of Kaneki, to be honest. But, there's something about this episode that didn't make sense to me, I don't know. P.S.: I was dying to see Amon animated and god it was glorious he's even cuter. |
| can someone explain why kaneki screamed before the op started playing? the black screen censoring.... |
| I enjoyed this one alot more than the first ep...maybe because it stayed true to the manga, still fast pace but yeah, love the OP and ED especially that art in the ED. The animation was a bit lazy still, About the censorship, where Kaneki fights Nishiki, it was a two way street for me, 4/5 |

Salamandro said: InTheOtherWorld said: One thing I don't like about this anime, I must point out, is that everything is awfully over dramatic... I wish they'd tone it down a little. :( But man, I love the way Hide ran up behind Kaneki. It was so random. XD And Kaneki is pretty cute. The mask I see him in sometimes makes him look really cool. And with white hair, he looks so much cooler! (I'm sorry, I've got a thing for cute white haired guys...) The censors, oh my the censors! That scene at the end was somewhat out of place... But Kaneki just looked so cute in it, with those simple little dots for eyes... Especially from a distance!! X3 But still, from the opening it looks like some kind of love triangle between Toka, Kaneki and Rize. I'm sorry man, but I hope that doesn't become some kind of main aspect. I am not here for a romance with a girl like Toka, I just can't stand it when MCs get a love interest with those kind of girls... Theres no love triangle, love is hardly a focus of the series its hinted at and it exists but its subtle. Thank god. It really did look like there was going to be some kind of serious thing between Toka and Kaneki to me. Nevertheless, I still don't like her. There are so many characters like her already in the anime industry, it's really rather dull. I don't like all the emphasis on her in the OP. |
 |
| The opening is amazing, being one of my favorites <3 But the spoiler haha And that censoring, what was that... |
| Annoying -____- I hate censorship. |
 |
| I liked the episode but like most people the censoring was really annoying, I think I might put this on hold and wait till the series finishes before I watch the rest. I think it might be more enjoyable that way. |
| Is someone chopping onions near the mc constantly? cry moar |

| That censoring is really awful... If just "that" is censured like that, I can't imagine how will be censured the rest... 2 episodes/1 tome ... That rush, I think really that I will drop before the end, the manga is so better |
| Another awesome episode. I absolutely adore hearing Kana Hanazawa be creepy and the fight scene was badass. |
| Think i'll be putting this one on hold until BR/uncensored version comes along. This is just a bit too excessive. |
orchidork said: can someone explain why kaneki screamed before the op started playing? the black screen censoring.... Well in the manga this happens. |

| that censorship..... close to just waiting for the uncensored br. i can live with censorship but this was too much. cannot even imagine what they will do with the rest of the series. never read the manga but if they heavily censor a torn apart dead body and a guy getting pierced multiple times so much ....... i guess the rest will turn into an audio drama other than that it was good |

Also, I'd hardly expect the MC to have any affectionate feelings for her considering she tried to eat him. The censoring is bullshit but I don't think I can hold myself to wait for the uncensored because the MC looks badass in the OP and I want to see how he gets to that point. Toka is pretty cute and interesting too. |

| I wasn't impressed by the fight scene. There was no reason to change the color and make that guy keep screaming, "I'm dying, I'm dying, I'm dying". Some of the acting was over the top. The screen turned black for a couple of seconds. |

| Aside from the censoring (which was just plain awful), a great episode. His struggle was pretty well done and I liked Rize's appearance and how she tried tempting him. I cannot really remember Kaneki already seeing Rize at that point in the manga, so if that was anime original, I really liked that decision. Fight scene was brief but alright if not for the censoring, although luckily not as bad as during the first few minutes of the episode :S. I loved the OP. White-haired Kaneki looks badass! ED was also quite good thanks to those nice artworks. They did quite a good job on this one so far. Just the censoring could be toned down a little, especially when it results in black screens. |

| Man this series is fucking amazing the whole episode was just awesome and man that opening is epic as fuck 5/5. Hopefully the entire anime is this good. I'm looking forward to giving this anime my first 10 :D |
| I really don't like that censorship. I hope it doesn't show up every single time someone dies or gets injured really badly or is feeding. |
 |
| Just saying but you can invert the color with VLC media player during the fight scene to make it look like this http://i.imgur.com/O9NTZWE.jpg |
| Still rushing, just establishing everything, and having a "gory" fight. Very mature, very psychological indeed. Naah, it really feels like a dark battle shounen with all this talk of friendship and even using flashbacks. There's just no time to establish and go deep into Kaneki's psyche, like at all. And ofc the blood and gore everyone's craving for is censored all over. 3/5 - Fine as an action flick, but damn the characters have no room to be established for effective drama. |

| Funamitaion did this censoring with danganronpa but i dont really mind it |

Well, in manga he heard some voices and in anime they chose to assign them to Rize, which worked out quite well I think. |

Coralira said: Well I didn't see the problem with the censoring until that scene at the start, you couldn't even see what was going on. Lol. Oh and I totally thought they'd try make Touka more sympathetic and nicer from the start but no we see her throwing him around and punching him. Yet despite being more violent she had less expression in her face from the manga... I don't like this thing with Rize, it's not nessesary. Again, it feels like they are just putting her in to satisfy people that like her. I bet this will get an anime original ending. If they didn't put her there, with all that censorship, you would have audio drama. |

| This is sooo boring... i've seen this kind of stories several times and this doesn't even try to be good, i tried to give it a chance but i couldn't prevent yawning... i will give next episode last chance because maybe it will get better, i hope. |
 |
| Haven't watch the episode yet, but since people are saying they adopted 4 chapters in this episode. I'll have to say that confirms that this series will be one cour. I doubt they will adopt all the current chapters, and the arc is not even finish for the latest chapters so yea. This series is either 13 or 12 episodes. It also looks like the censoring was over 9000! |
| i don't like the animation for the opening its so simple. the censoring was awful i had to read the manga to know what was happening and those invert colors ruined the fight for me. yet it was still a good eps 4/5 |
| Didn't like that censoring. Rize appears a lot more in this than the manga, which is good. |
| Does anyone know who did the ED artwork? I like all of the characters so far |
| Way too much censoring in this ep. But i did enjoy the OP+ED |
 |
| They changed it a bit compared to the manga, but I quite like seeing Rize trolling him already :) Good episode. |
| i love the opening, it really reminds me the first opening from psycho pass good episode, i thought he had eaten his friend's arm xD |
 |
Urek said: well... another 4-5 episodes... i guess i gotta get ready for only 1 cour >_> also, dat awkward ensoring again <_< but dat spoiler in opening *-* also, DAT ANIME ADDED MATERIAL MAKING IT ALL MORE EPIC *_* How slow you want them to be? It will be more than 1 cour, for sure. But they have to make it watchable, as Anime are usually are. |

| Damn Japan and damn censors! Like with what most people said, no censoring = greatest |
| ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) fine booty |
| This episode would of been amazing if not for all the censoring God I hate Funimation -_- Either way I liked everything that happened in this episode |
| Anyone notice his friend was awake at the hospital? He opened his eyes after they left, with a smile. |
| I didn't come here to play, I came to win. Now lets play. |
| It's a decent adaption at best. That's what happens when you cover 4+ chapters an episode. Rize appearing before him is WAY too early, they should have never done it. Also, they made it seem like Hide was listening to their entire conversation, which is not the case. He only woke up when they were talking about Ken's new Job there at the shop. Hide does not know Ken is a Ghoul. With 133 Chapters out so far, it's a 2 cour at the very minimum. Anyways, the manga is far better. If you can set aside the "Eating Humans" element, then it becomes very enjoyable. The Manga gets extremely Epic. |

| Too bad for the censoring but I can deal with it. Anyway, pretty good episode. And I totally dig the OP. 12 eps though :/ |
 |
| Man, censoring doesn't usually get to me but this ep just annoyed me so much with it >_<. Other than that I really enjoyed it. Was not expecting Rize to show up already. Really, really hoping they don't go through the manga too quickly. There is so much potential. |
| So you're a human... not a monster like them... suuuuure... Oh great, censoring... only like 90% of the screen this time... meh... Poor Kaneki... not being able to eat what he likes anymore T.T Yeah Kaneki, you need to eat, Hide will taste really good XD. Nishio was doing some really important things there Hide! LOL, Hide got sent flying XD. YEAH!!! Good job Kaneki for kicking Nishio's ass and stabbing him a million times over and whatnot lol. Hunger has made Kaneki go mad... Hmmm... so Hide was actually awake or did he wake up right then? Another good episode even this time around. |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| Good episode, except for the censoring. Interesting negative color scheme during the fight. |
