| RIP Juuzou's balls :( I think the main reason I haven't found this frustrating like most people seem to, is because I've read the manga and I understand everything that is going on and its relevance to the plot. Honestly, other then Ken joining the other team nothing has really changed. I really hope they change the manga ending though. |

Akira is dammmmmm cute :D Amon i know how you are feeling xDDD |

| Exposition episode.....I'd imagine that the action junkies hated this episode but personally I liked it I'm really glad that we got the drunk Akira scene (although we didn't get to see her ass TwT) because it was one of my favorites and it was this scene that pretty much started my Amon x Akira shipping :DD The Suzuya flashback was spot on.....His past was really tragic and I really felt bad for him after seeing what he went through during his childhood (Btw anime only's Mama ate Suzuya's balls during that jail cell scene >.< (The censoring during this flashback bugged me at times though). But alas his bond with Shinohara was just really sweet and I like how close they are to each other :'') Centipede-kun going at it again this week except we can see that Kaneki is fucked up really bad mentally....The sad thing about this scene is that we have a lack of monologues wheeras in the manga we saw what Kaneki was thinking during it all CCG planning their attack....Everything is shaping up nicely :) |

Z4k said: 20/10 would bangLots of develpment for Juuzou. Its funny because we just got both Juuzou and Shinohara in the :re manga and now we see them both in this episode. Pretty amazing that both the manga and anime parallels each other. These recent developments also confirm anteiku raid will happen. V14 anyone? lol Roma huh... so they introduced her at last. Amon and Akira scenes were perfect. I lold at Amon doing pushups there. Drunk Akira is the best Akira. Oh and those end cards are gold. I prefer the manga version though |
| Juzo you poor kid ._. Give Kaneki a line dammit. Akira gets drunk, Amon fights hard to protect his virginity. You missed your chance Amon. Push-up scene was hilarious xD Maris Stella is a creepy name for a cat :P That Roma girl seems dumb but she gives dark vibes to me, chasing Hinami lol I want to see Tsukiyama. >:( |
| Kaneki going crazy was great. But srsly we need more Kaneki screen time... |

| I loved the Akira and Amon scene's, really laughed at those push ups! We get some Juzo development. And... I enjoyed it, but it also made me sad when I saw him looking up to Shinohara and Shinohara taking care of him and then I reminded myself a scene from :RE when we see what happened to Shinohara... Suzuya was so happy and then... ugh. The feels are strong. We should have more Kaneki. It feels like he's not the main character anymore. Hopefully we'll get more of him in next episodes. I can't belive how much I love that OST. It really is better and better in new episodes. I just miss some kickass tracks like the battle theme ("Symphony") from TG. But there are still six eps left! Ishida-sensei, you'll never stop amazing me with every new ending. |
| I'm heavily biased in favor of this episode. Two of my favorite scenes from TG are the bar scene and the apartment/pushup scene. They did a great job adapting both when I was worried they might not do it at all. All of the stuff with Suzuya and Shinohara is really touching, and like Z4k said even more so now that we get to see a parallel of what's going on in :re. Yep definitely looks like we're getting Anteiku raid next (called it!) They have 6 episodes to do it justice (and let's be honest, at least one full episode has to be devoted to the V14 chapters, and another whole episode to the aftermath) At this point I'm really just hoping we get the same ending as the manga, which it's looking like we might. For one, it will cause a huge shitstorm on here no doubt for anime watchers, and also because I want to see a proper adaptation of :re say, a year or two from now. |
| Wew, 7890 push ups... But I wanna see more Kaneki ffs. |
 Forum set made by my secret santa, Nate! |
| Kaneki only gets like 1 minute screen time D: Pls we need more Kaneki.. That censoring was also a bit annoying. |
| I don't really care about Amon and Akira, so I found that part of the episode pretty boring. I enjoyed Juzo's development though, and the giraffe scene was nice. I'm excited to see how they adapt the raid on Anteiku. |

| I think I get how Ishida is writing this season That's what I think at least, but so far they've arranged the timelines for the side characters to get development. |
hantere said: They gave Suzuya his full backstory. Yeah, but they left out...that one part. Y'know, unless we can imply that she did it to him while he was in the cage, but it didn't show Juuzou Really liked this ending. I always forget that the innocent Kaneki existed at a time T_T |
    |
| Akira a qt otherwise meh |
 |
| suzuya's past T^T |
 |
| No much action but liked this episode. Kaneki is really suffering. Nice to see they kept most part of the manga. That ending with kaneki was nice. |
| This season seems to be a bit slow, but still enjoyable. Drunk Akira was the best! |
| Hi there |
| Pacing is better then S1 most of the times, okay to good episode. |
  |
| Amon could have been pounding something else instead of the floor. |

Comic_Sans said: Black_wind said: They should develop the love story between him and Kaneki better.meh......the whole Akira/Amon thing is leaving me completely cold. This shit needs more Tsukiyama. Still the best love story in Tokyo Ghoul! |
| THE FEELS !! THE FEELS Is coming T_T Nice episode with the slow paced. The ED arts are masterpiece |

| not enough kaneki! |
 |
| Drunk Akira? I gained ten times more respect for her |
| i really enjoyed this episode but man it was tough seeing juuzous past. my only problem with this anime atm is the lack of kaneki and the lack of explanations, and its just hard to sympathise with him when he gets no more then 20 secs of screentime |
 |
| A decent episode focusing of the CCG with two great scene's of Kaneki suffering the aftermath of his Kakuja form. |
| Mindy: "What are you doing?" Josh: "Running off my desires!" Amon is becoming a much more likeable character. |
      |
| again, the censors at the Juzo story was annoying but beside that, i enjoyed this ep. The ED was really good this week. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| liked the ep (Push ups!), but kinda wished the narrative of this season stayed with aogiri and kaneki and fleshed them out more instead of focusing on the CCG tbh, the members of aogiri seem much more interesting than those of CCG |

| glad they kept in the stuff with Akira...but dat keyboard that legit had to be a photo lol |
 |
| and here you go guys, another episode where nothing happens. Oh well at least Juzo is not quite as annoying now that he has a backstory for his craziness. But seriously, Tokyo Ghoul you have twelve episodes to push us through your big story and you think you can make it happen when you have episodes like this? This is fast becoming the most disappointing anime of the season, which is sad because I did not walk into this season with particularly high expectations. |

| Juuzou's past was cut too short and had no where near the impact it did in the manga. However I still liked it for what it was. Juuzou's past is by far the most tragic in TG. It's just like Shinohara said.. Juuzou himself is just a victim. All Amon and Akira's scenes were kept in so that was good. The owl investigation unit? That was pretty interesting. Hoping we'll see Arima soon. Those ending credits... Tsukiyama, Hinami and Banjou watching Kaneki. That made my day. radionoise said: i really enjoyed this episode but man it was tough seeing juuzous past. my only problem with this anime atm is the lack of kaneki and the lack of explanations, and its just hard to sympathise with him when he gets no more then 20 secs of screentime Kaneki definitely feels like a side character in Root A so far. All I can say to the people complaining about lack of Kaneki.. go read the manga. I am thinking the purpose of Root A is to focus on characters other than Kaneki.

I can't see an adaptation of Re happening even if it does follow the manga ending. Even if it does I don't expect anything from it. |

| Episode full of sentimentality, nothing very important for the development of the story, just showed the relationship between the characters, I hope next episode return to action and fights .. |

See like many that have stated it already, Tokyo ghoul isn't only about the action and fights. The series relies in the interaction of the characters to move on the story and develop to develop them. And next episode will be the same as this one but this time they'll focus a bit on Hinami. |

AquaWateria said: See I would understand if Re wasn't selling really well, but it's selling about 700K. The sequel will definitely get an adaptation but the question is when. It has a lot more to do with Root A sales though. Also I am expecting it to end in a way where a sequel isn't possible. |

Yeah I know but according to the summary it seems Hinami has a bit of a role there too.

I mean its really popular in Japan right now and the manga is already selling better than the prequel. |
