----------------------------------------
Nice, the OP song for this season imo is a big improvement compared to Tokyo Ghoul Root. (my favorite is still the very first season's though)

The episode didn't waste much time getting right into with character introductions. The familarity of the thrilling vibe also returns with this season. Felt like the episode is setting up for the rest of the season (no episode count # announced yet?)

It's neat to see characters like Tooru, Sasaki, etc appear from the manga. I'm definitely feeling some of the psychology from this new series including parts wtih the action already.



Edit: I think might be 12 episodes.

After seeing the opening, 100% know where they're going to end this season on.... Obviously is gonna be rushed, but as long as the direction is good, I won't care. Fine starter all things considered

Havent watched the episode but for the OP, music is definitly better than Root A. however together with the visuals it is the weaker of the 3. Its just your generic showing the cast OP without any flavor and the music and visuals doesnt fit. pretty meh.

Judging by the opening, it must be 24 episodes long otherwise it will be rushed like season 1 again... But when did we last get an 2 cour anime with the same opening!?

6 chapters in one episode,hmm, seems rushed.

Maybe they're going to adapt the whole thing,since manga is close to the end,but let's see.

Opening was pretty good.

Edit: Only 12 episodes...here goes my hope to see the greatest salt mine and nightmare of every fujoshi animated,hope they announce later that it's going to be split cour.

How was the censoring in the episode(if there was any)? With the original I chose to rather wait for the Bluray as I found the inverted colours and black shadows very annoying.

So is it bad in re?

I was hoping they would start the "re" story in episode 2. And would use this episode to explain or retell the ending of tokyo ghoul (the manga) so the :re story can make sense. Anyway I still enjoyed it. Looking forward to next ep

Good start! Although it was quite fast-paced as a manga reader it wasn't that bad. Having pretty low expectations might have helped. I think anime only fans will have a hard time understanding but hopefully the confusion will be cleared up soon.

I think all the voices of Quinx really fit. I'm glad they kept Urie's inner thoughts. Haise is a walking sunshine already. OP and ED are rad. I'm unsure how many eps this will be but I bet that it will be a one cour, ending just at the end of Rose Extermination arc.

Well it was a bit rushed but it was quite Ok. The only thing that pissed me of was that they completely skipped the stuff with Tooru Mutsuki which is very important! also some interaction with my boy Kuramoto Ito but that is just a minor complain from a fanboy :D I would give this episode 7/10

Rushed, but it makes sense. It was a good spot to end the first episode. And luckily, the first episode's content isn't particularly too important, as it's mainly just character introductions. Slowing down the pace from now on it ideal, but most likely they won't be doing that. Considering the OP and the pacing of the series so far, it's apparent where the series will be ending, and it will all be done in 12 episodes unfortunately. Well, it's not like I was expecting much from this adaptation anyways. Whatever, I just want to see some key moments animated.

3/5

Since I haven't read the manga, I don't see what's rushed. The opening seems way better than Root A, but definitely not as good as Unravel. Also at first I thought that Sasaki was Kaneki, but then I realised he's not, and then that last scene with tortured Kaneki appeared and I was pretty confused, is he Kaneki or not? (Don't answer this, it's a rhetorical question.)

I mean, this episode isn't heavy on plot, and frankly isn't great on its own, but the way they referenced the previous seasons was amazing. First, the OP, with the classic reflected sky that we associate with Unravel. Then Kaneki talking to Haise, the same way Rieze talked to him. Then, the ever-classic finger snap. Even by bringing back characters, the first episode builds up the hype and reminds us of the classic moments of the series. So overall, as a first episode, it is a strong callback and interest caller. I rate it 5/5.

So yeah like people said, pretty rushed first episode, but other than that, pretty decent overall imo.

I like how they did Urie's inner voice scenes.

Also, it looks like they are just straight up adapting the manga which might confuse some anime only watchers.

Now let's hope that Pierrot does not completely destroy this, for now I'm optimistic eventhough the pacing could be an issue...

I'm so glad they went with Torso's arc, Urie is epic as I thought he would be, Shirazu is the same idiot as always and Mutsuki is really lame.
The Op sucks like the last season season as well as the ed and the animation looks not as good as I thought is that just me or I swear the last
Two seasons were much better.

Decent enough start I guess, though they probably should've just cut the OP and ED to allow for even a slightly better pacing. Considering the beginning of Re: is when the manga is at it's high point, kind of sad to see it get shafted. But it's only episode 1, hopefully from here on the pacing isn't too shit.

Bad OP, not as bad as root A but still pretty lackluster, comfy ED though.

It's not that rushed. I remember the manga felt the same way at the beginning, with a lot of info in the first chapters and not really explaining enough. It will just take a few more eps to establish everything about the new story, like it was for the manga.

They really adapted 6 chapters into one episode. I can understand that they probably wanted to show Kaneki in episode 1, but a flashback of his fight with Arima would've been better.
I didn't hate it. Actually, I liked this episode. But, it is too fast paced, and a lot of dialogues are cut, so it is very confusing.

I haven't kept up with the manga in a long ass time, so I'm pretty much rereading from the beginning while watching this show. Just reread the 1st chapter last night (haven't reread beyond that) and they pretty much skipped everything that lead up to what we saw at the start of the episode. Of course, it's going to be rushed (6 chapters in this episode alone according to people above?!), what else is new when it comes to Studio Clown. Oh well, I shouldn't have expected better. Their adaptations haven't exactly been stellar as of late (Twin Star Exorcists, Black Clover).

Also, I don't really care much for the OP or ED. I really wish they could get TK to do another song, Unravel was such a great song.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Season 1 was rushed, but it was really good imo. So I don't feel like it going through a lot of chapters per episode necessarily means it'll be bad. I really enjoyed this first episode, though.
