I think they did good with only 12 episodes. Of course 24 would be way more ideal, but you work with what you have. I'm glad we got an adaptation at all. Can't wait for the blu ray.

I understand people talking bad about the series. But this episode was epic!

The pace was good and they focus it entirely on Kaneki development/transformation. I expected so much to see white hair kaneki, thank goodness next season we will already have new badass Kaneki.

Roughly a 7/10 overall. It's really such a pity, it could have been a lot better.
Though, I'm happy that a sequel has been announced, will surely watch it.

I actually enjoyed this a lot more than the manga, the plot is pretty bad and gets increasingly worse after the CCG raid, but the anime did a really great job with the visuals, the music, and the fight scenes animation. A 7/10 for the anime and a 4/10 for the manga for me.

2/5 episode, that quote =,= It was already used in Code Geass.... now it just sounds cliche and generic, what an idiot.

This episode sucked, well in any case, this anime did suck majorly, Kaneki was a faggot, and I would like them to keep him as a faggot, but suddenly they change him into a wannabe badass..... Well what was once faggot, may never again not be faggot.

Thank God there's gonna be a second season... and it won't take forever to come at that.

Quite honestly, I looked forward to watching every airing episode up until this last one. I feel like they rushed the crap out of this first season. We didn't see anything going on outside of the torture chamber. It was all Rize's manipulation, torture, and a somewhat badass final battle between Jason and Kaneki. But seriously, what about everyone trying to save him?

I'm seriously praying they continue to the second season right where this episode left off...

I don't care what others think about this. The episode was epic, a tad rushed, leaving mostly episode 11's plot out of its entire runtime. I think that 2 minutes less of rize's mindfuck, and more bad ass white haired ghould would've been the most awesome ending this season.

But, but... plotwise, it can compare a little bit with ep. 26 of Evangelion. Their not on the same league, I love Evangelion and all, but I can see the resemblance on the amount of loose ends given, or, as some Eva-fans could say: no fucks given (from Hidekki Anno).

Glad to see there's a second season already confirmed. I'll be waiting impatienly, just as every week I've been doing since this show first aired.

I'm having some mix thoughts on reading the manga... I'll wait to the end of second season to decide.

I swear pierrot should've adapted tokyo ghoul with the same quality as the last episode, and with better pacing at around 20 episodes at least. It was a good episode for character development, but definitely not as an end episode.

As for the overall series, the pacing was terrible with awkward censoring as well. Really disappointing even though I didn't read the manga at all.

Just going to go ahead and read manga now. If season two is being adapted by pierrot as well, I'll cry, but I guess I'd still watch it..

I'm going to be honest, I'm a faithful reader of this manga...

And I loved the fuck out of this episode. Seriously, everything was on point. It was so good I was able to completely cast aside any and all complaints I might have had in the past about not getting things "100% right." And you know, it is an adaptation for a reason. I don't even mind that episode 11 was fairly rushed as it set up an epic opening for Season 2 in january.

Back on topic, this was easily one of the greatest episodes of ANYTHING I have ever seen. The intensity of the animation, directing, and voice acting was of a whole 'nother level.

100/5 if I could. Love the manga. I now respect the anime. Bring on Season 2.

I couldnt describe it better myself and then ending...WHOOAA! It blew my mind! :D I freaking love it. And there has to be a season two with no censoring please. But man, the feels from this ep..sooo much!! LOVED IT!!

I thought the last episode's content was great compared to the other episodes besides the first. It gave off the right feeling that the anime should have had that wasn't present during most of the show, even with the amount of crazy censoring again.

They did a nice job with the symbolism such as the pure white roses slowly turning into red spider lilies that hold the meaning of never to meet again, lost memory, and abandonment. Kaneki's purity and his denial of being a half ghoul was abandoned, thus causing his old self to die. Also eating Rize seems to be him accepting her, his ghoul half, fully. His hair turning white can be evaluated as him gaining knowledge and being wiser as white hair can be associated with elderly people that tend to have more life experience. These symbols all emphasize Kaneki's "baptism" or "rebirth" of himself turning into a different person. But we obviously see that with Kaneki's badassery.

I have to say though, although this was a great episode, it was a horrible ending to the anime series. It left a lot of questions unanswered and didn't properly introduce some of the characters.

I read all of the manga last week and I saw how they messed up this series a lot, but from a manga reader perspective, this episode isn't as bad as some of you are making it out to be. In fact thy handled it very well and did White Hair Kaneki justice by showing how it all happened

Yeah they left out tons of information like the info on the different ghoul types as well as info on Kakuja'so but even so it was still good

I didn't like Kaneki up until this point in the series and I really waned to see this animated and Studio Pierrot did an amazing job with it

5/5 episode for me

If I rate this series from a manga reader point of view, this gets a 6/10 but from an anima only point of view I'm giving this an 8/10 because even though it was clearly rushed, it was still pretty damn good visually, the music was great and it was very enjoyable to watch...The censorship was terrible tho


I think they're still butt hurt over the last episode.

This episode made me forget what happened over that mess a few episodes back and Felt like I was reading the Manga's Torture arc in animated form.
I'm getting the same goose bumps when I read the manga.
same here

I really wanted to see this scene animated and after some thinking, I think that I liked it more in the anime than in the Manga lol

Never read the manga but the Rize-Kaneki is way too dragging. This episode ruin it for me but seeing Kaneki kick ass is great.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Hmm this episode was pretty bad. Too much time wasted on the Kaneki-Rize dialogue and all the censorship. Good fight near the end of the episode but that's a bit late. I'll probably end up watching season 2 as well though.

I still like the op/ed songs, one of the best this season definitely.
7/10 overall.

pierrot and the voice actors did a good job with this episode. i was sweating after that torture scene

i give props to pierrot because their animation style fits perfectly with tokyo ghoul. compared to akame ga kill, I say the atmosphere and the quality is way better in tokyo ghoul.

I couldn't care less about the censorship, why is it such a big deal?

i'll give this episode 5/5, and the anime 8/10.

To be honest, I feel like they've nailed the last episode, but I think it's such an unfitting way to end the season.

Also, am I really the only one who liked the exchange between Rize and Kaneki? imo I believe that it's an important part of Kaneki's character.

As for someone who reads the manga, I should be disappointed. But I kind'a liked the episode. Maybe because of white haired Kaneki.

I still prefer the manga. The whole anime is really rushed lol.

But I can't deny he's way more badass now.
