----------------------------------------
First few minutes felt kinda slow but they got to the attack pretty fast later.

Jason made his appearance and I find his personality to be sadistic. Poor Kaneki ;_;. Poor Touka as well....
The second half felt more or less like a build up again. Oh great, Gourmet is back. Can't say I'm surprised though.

i am seriously worried how they are going to end this arc...
seriously, either it will be rushed as fk, completly ruining it, or it will end at one of the biggest cliffhanger ever...

well, even if i knew that gourmet was going in, i still loled at him yelling "amore"... that was kinda funny ^_^

Dat ending XD "Amore" lol and he thinks Kaneki is his best friend ROFL

Good ep. I'm liking how they're not rushing anything that much. Ofc this means we won't get to the absolutely epic parts but as long as it's being adapted quite well I don't mind a cliffhanger end :3

I cringed so hard at Kaneki getting his face pulverized O_O! That gotta friggin HURT!! DAMN!!! >~< JASON U F***N Sadistic BASTARD!! XD That scene wasn't even in the manga O_o?! Loved it though ^^;

Suzuya is crazy as always :D Loved how he just went into the meeting all nonchalantly and politely like that XD

I wonder how much they'll cover nxt ep?

There was absolutely no tension in this episode. Action scenes were boring.
And I hope that Kaneki's torture won't be replaced by that petty scene where Kaneki took a beating from Yamori. Yeah. But I feel that the ending will be rushed as hell.

It seems like they keep using those slimmed-down flashbacks inappropriately.

On a side note, I didn't even know that Eto was a female ghoul. I was just as surprised as I was with Jiro.

I guess KugiRie's voice was a perfect match for Suzuya.

Yamori freaked me out even more in the anime.

How can people still be surprised that this is rushed as hell. It was pretty obvious since the beginning.
I think they will wrap up the entire Aogiri Tree arc in the 2 remaining episodes, judging by the pace. The adaptation is pretty decayed as it is now, due to terrible pacing.

just a little hope...
because there are too many things going on after this episode...
maybe they would end it like fate/zero season 1...
or maybe not...

I guess that was the most decent part, if you don't mind the rearrangement. I really wanted a faithful adaptation with proper pacing.

To be honest though, that does seem like a possibility. I don't think it will be split-cour, but maybe they will make a second season in the near future. Since the PV had a scene from the most recent arc in the manga. But that could be just rearrangement or inappropriate use of footage, as shown in previous episodes as well as this one.

you mean the ghouls? well, they just followed banjou, ayato also belongs to the aogiri tree, last episode it was mentioned he was in charge of banjou; and jason was after rise.

Yeah, exactly. Just by thinking the possibilities this anime has with this story, I am sure it can be better than my favorite anime. The manga is way to different and adds a lot more sense to what's happening. I feel okay about the anime, but it could be way more enjoyable.

So they introduced Noro, Tatara, Eto right off the start. Ah too bad they didn't show how Kaneki actually made banjou unconcious. Suzuya's VA is perfect and Yamori was pretty fucked up lol. Can't wait for the torture part. Hah and Tsukiyama is back with a heartbreak

No kidding^^

It's quite a messy episode, for a person who didn't read the manga the appearance of new faces confuse me. The beating is not so appealing to me at least the gourmet tried to bring us comical aspects at the end.

Since i don't give low scores.. 4/5

A second cour would be terrible from how this season went, tokyo ghoul dosentt need a second cour it needs a total remake from an actually competent studio

Rie as Suzuya... I cannot be angry about this.
Here comes Tsukiyama and his never ending antics. He amuses me greatly.


But yes, this is rather haphazard. To introduce a flood of new people without much background to go by on.
The delivery of these events is more of a failure than a success by this point.

Ahhh Shuu makes an appearance. He ruins it with terrible Engrish skills.

Sigh. I thought there'd be more action in this episode, how will they wrap this arc in just two more episodes? Otherwise we'd be welcomed by a cliffhanger. . . . Do not want.

My OTP will sail. Shuuneki will sail on~ -cough-

It sounds like Tokyo Ghoul has been on Brynhildr mode the whole season. At least, Brynhildr was easy to follow for the first 2/3 of it. Then the last 4 it jumped the shark.

I kept wondering how Kaneki made Banjo pass out but I guess that was censored. Weird since they showed blood spattering.

The anime probably wouldn't even explain how Tsukiyama survives since They're rushing what 35+ chapters in Three and a half Episodes?

Touka Told Tsukiyama in Gourmet arc,Insultingly told him to eat himself instead of Kaneki and the others.
Tsukiyama being loveable Tsukiyama did that and Survive..It was a desperate attempt to live and it work.
This would makes sense In the next Two episodes.They're gonna explain how Cannibalizing ghouls and stuff,etc.

Also 100% They are rushing Kaneki's Important character development..It will come out as Half assed and no impact a best.
