I won't say it's unappreciated. In fact, I'd say the opposite. I think it's over rated. It tries really hard to be edgy and cool and I couldn't get past the 4th or 5th episode. I didn't like the characters, the plot wasn't intriguing or interesting enough for me to care and the censorship was way too much.

This picture sums up my opinion. The anime is pathetic compared to the manga, period. The only thing it did right was the animation in the first season and the OST in both.

Maybe it's the parasyte that cause it.


May be another reason. Well, there are fanboys for those two shows, and they may act like you would expect.

For example, the only otaku friend I have has watched Tokyo Ghoul and not a single episode of Parasyte, and I've even recommended her. I'm still waiting for a response...

The uncensored version is actually laying in a BD or fansub near you.

Tokyo Ghoul is a prime example of overrated
I do not deny that it start with a very good concept and that it had a lot of potential early on but then: €_€
I liked the series for its simplicity and not 'DXD plot' focused characters.
I don't really have the words to state the full extent for my exasperation but really, the series went bad very hard and from what I've heard the second season is:
> Full of plotholes (more plotholes than bouncing plot in DXD)
> based on generating cash
> A letdown
So I say: Tokyo Ghouls is overrated

Underappreciated? Not by a long shot lol.

It's both overrated and overhated. Same for anything that's popular.

Second season was pretty awful though.
It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether!

Yes. The anime has everything - comedy, action, romance, depth, horror, character development, consistent plot with many twists, drama...the soundtrack rocks (Unravel anihilates every other anime opening tbh), Kaneki is a badass character you can relate to...TG is unique and artistic, so Im not surprised that many people are bashing it. Some just cant recognize art. Hey, its way better than One Punch Man tho

The first season of Tokyo Ghoul got me back into anime after a long time away from it, and it hooked me like little else before or since. The second season started really strong, but crashed and burned in the last three episodes. Still, no regrets.

But the first 4 episodes of TG s2 were the worse.

Seen one episode, was so edgy and immature while trying hard to look serious, could not take it anymore.

It is objectively seinen and your subjective opinion won't change that.

it's not about demographic, it's about what people outlook.

people tend to to think shounen is about childern look-like or edgy teen shows. of course it's not me.
