| You take MAL with a grain of salt. That said tokyo ghoul (as an anime) adaptation is not good. It's not. Who knows how this season will fair but if it's anything like the former installments it's not going to have a lot of substance. What people feed into is the casuals who come out in droves to hype their mainstream anime. I won't lie I feed off it as well to an extent. I mean no one here will take your venting seriously after simply looking at your profile. Unless your comments are substantiated, you've watched <10 shows that I know of and your favorite characters are literally all mainstream, your critique of "anime" means nothing to someone like me whether the comment is good or bad. I haven't even watched episode one yet but I'm expecting it to be a bunch of edgy try hard nonsense with a weak story flow and shitty animation because that's where the direction has been the last installments. Maybe I'll be wrong but history has that to compete with. tldr MAL feeds off mainstream casuals that come out to hype a show simply because it's an over hyped series. |
| Why do you care What even is the 3 episode rule and why should we abide by it Why won't you people ever accept that popular things are bound to inspire strong responses in a wide variety of directions |
 |
| I don't think people need to abide to a 3 episode rule to give their opinions on the first episode tbh. Sure maybe criticizing the season as a whole maybe be a stretch but I for one can't blame them as Pierrot has a track record of making horrible animes. They rarely ever make a good adaptation so it's understandable why people are saying this is gonna be utter trash right out the gate. If you ask me, I personally agree that this season as well if gonna be terrible albeit I know I'll still enjoy it. |

Well thanks for dropping by to just drop a rage comment and dip. All the more reason to not really care about what you are saying. > Barely uses MAL > Proceeds to complain about MAL |
| @MonkeyDJasper This lost the "benefit of the doubt" after it's second attempt of adapting the manga. If people want to judge this to be crap out of the gate then so be it. It has no positive track record to fall back on. Each attempt as been a mainstream cluster fuck mess that literally floundered out of the gate. What has been shown in episode one is largely following the exact same mistakes in adaptation that has been made in series prior. While I agree it's best to stay reserved (which is why I still don't rate anime I've dropped even if I've watched 99% of it, I didn't complete it so how can I rate it) tokyo ghoul has not been good each time and they are not starting off with a new formula. 2 + 2 + 4 scenerio. It's the anime adaptations' own fault for having an upward climb to deal with out of the gate. That's the reason why. Deal with it and hope that it's good so you can come back and drop another random thread. But I doubt that it will be. Regardless I'm done with this useless thread. |
| Sorry people but I disagree with those saying that TG anime adaptation is not good. I watched the anime first then read the manga because I wanted to know more and I realise it makes sense how so much stuff was removed for the anime. Then there is root A which I believe is a fresh take on TG that deserves some justice and I still wonder if the ending is confirmed or will be retconned. While there is poetry in the manga, it would be ridiculous to put some scenes on the screen knowing the fight scenes are what people look forward to the most. Remember that we got songs like "Unravel", "Glassy Sky" and "Kisetsu ha tsugitsugi shindeiku" (root A OP and TG:RE OP and ED are lackluster). Also fight scenes in the manga don't even come close to what you see in the anime, especially the fight scene with Jason and Unravel in the background. |
| They are just salty because how ships in manga were done, so they focus their hatred towards anime adaptation as well. Don't be bothered by them OP. |

| I can understand your opinion, but the most important is tolerate the other MAL members, because every person is different, and for what you consider a deconsideration may be that normal general consideration. If you don´t like the system, you can send an advice to the moderators or staff members to consider it, but never judge adversely, because it´s a forum, a place to enjoy, and you can judge seriously or joke mode because all are different!!! Always can stop to read, and go to the next user opinion!! ;) Welcome! |
| Isn't it amazing how it's always the people that think an anime (or dub) seems bad based on the trailer or the first episode that need to wait before making a judgement, but never the people who rave about how good it is even if they possess the exact same amount of knowledge? |

| MAL hates TG. I don't expect a perfect adaptation from SP so I'm happy from what I've seen in the first episode. It'll be great if it sticks to the source material throughout this 12 episode season, like during the first season, as the content they're adapting is some of the best in the series. Nice to see the broken record has come out to play again too lol. Takes me back to when I first joined MAL. |
| People really think they can judge or review a whole season after 1 episode . Yes the episode was 6 chapters but they probably did that only for the first episode to just get stuff started and not be too slow paced . Most likely the next episodes are gonna be 2-3 chapters . I’ve seen people actually enjoy this episode and not bash the whole season because of the first episode . I’ve started to think The people on MAL are just jokes who don’t know what they’re talking about most of the time . I’m not even the biggest fan of Tokyo ghoul and even I think all this hate is dumb . Give it the 3 episode rule atleast . I know manga readers might’ve been disappointed but don’t jump to conclusions that the whole season is just gonna be bad |
 |
| Wait a minute, it was rushed? I don't read manga but first episode seemed alrighty to me. Better than whole s2. |
| listen, i don't know much about tokyo ghoul but i do know that when i was 10 at my local barnes and noble i bought the first volume of the manga and didn't like it. anyway, i can hear the tears of the salty manga fanboys over this anime adaptation. |

I would recommend you to not care about anything, and just keep enjoying shows you like. |

Either they will adapt 4 chapters per episode or they will cut useless Auction canon fodder fights. The fight with a bald guy was complete filler, nothing changes if he isn't there. Anyways, view this as being on the same level as any Light Novel adaptation that cuts stuff. Early :re has plenty of action and insignificant fights, therefore it will not be a sin to skip them. |
| People do that for every show. |
 |
| You should know how MAL (and the internet) is, just try to ignore. I am with you about it but you know.. if they see something bad they generalize that the rest will be as well. |
 |
| Mangareaders know it turns to shit. Too bad animeonly are easy to please with some gore and edge. |
 |
| they are getting them stats up op. what if this studio is bombed and the series is never finished? then they will never get to make a review or whatever if they have to wait until its over. the three episode rule could work for this series since its probably only like 12 episodes but for double cour series even this becomes problematic. shitposting is an art, op. its not all about forum posts (thought maybe they are like 80%.) the remainder goes to reviews and blog posts and interviews and all other nonsense |

TokiWoKezuru said: Because the word "review" has a meaning behind it. It means "to write a critical appraisal of." How can you do that if you haven't actually watched the thing you're appraising? This joke of a "Review" section is starting to look more and more like a Comment section written by cretins who think they can accurately review something after seeing 20 minutes of it. It's as ridiculous as writing a review for a book after reading 10 pages. Sure, but when did OP state that they were talking about reviews in particular? Okay they did, my bad. Moreover, is there even any actual meaningful difference between bashing a show after a single episode and bashing it after three? I understand what you're trying to say and I agree but that "rule" is just the dumbest, most arbitrary thing ever and it honestly doesn't apply to your point. |

Why would I bother with manga if anime looks quite decent? It's your choice whether to see the content at its best or not. Tokyo Ghoul as an anime thus far was nothing more than a rushed mess of an adaptation, season 2 of the original series in particular (having absolutely nonsensical plot developments and character inconsistency compared to the manga); this episode is no different from the previous seasons in terms of rushed content, besides not being as bad as that. Anyway who knows, if you ever touch the source material, you may realize just how much better it is compared to what we are getting from the animated series. Anyhow, that's up to you. It's your choice whether to remain ignorant to the actual full thing or not, you might as well do just that if you don't want to ruin your enjoyment of the series anyway, as you probably just didn't quite notice how much they screw up thus far. Maybe going for the manga will open your eyes, but yeah, yet again, that's for you to decide. |

Most folks only watch anime. And I honestly don't see anything wrong with first episode. |
| In all my years on MAL, I've learned to take reviews and scores with a grain of salt. I used to scroll down to the reviews and if 2/3 of them were negative, I wouldn't watch it. Boy, was it a terrible habit. I missed quite a lot of gems this way. |
 |
| Then avoid the forums? If you're aware MAL is a joke, why bother caring it? I believe almost everyone here is already aware that MAL is getting more and more cancerous. It's either ignore them or completely avoid the forums. |
 |
| If you're giving Megalo Box a 10 after only one episode, why can't we give Tokyo Ghoul:re a 1 after only one episode ? |
| Since when MAL wasn't a joke? |

Read most of the replies in the thread I linked you. The funniest example is of one of the most popular reviewers on here having the highest rated Evangelion review, but having his review filled with complete ignorance of psychology and character writing. Don't trust MAL reviews, and especially not forums most of the time. |
