----------------------------------------
About time this season gives Saiko more spotlight as a capcable of fighter.

I have to admit, the first half of this episode felt a bit messy although was violent as I had expected to be. Also, I swear, almost none of the background stories from this series is pleasant.

Poor Sasaki. The opponent he's facing off against really is another level. I kinda liked the psychology this episode though especially from Sasaki's perspective. What a cliffhanger!

Good to hear Unravel again, the best theme song of the franchise.

We want more JAM moments yess.
Oh, who is that coming to save the day (Hinami-chan).
Haise seems to be accepting Kaneki now, and let him control his body also (basically co exist with his memories). Looks like Haise will be making contact with his old ghoul friends now..
p.s. What you do if you can't produce good level music for the flashbacks? YOU PLAY OSHIETE OSHIETEEE

Loved it! Animation improved and the still frames were, again, greatly reduced! The voice acting and OST were great although I think putting Unravel at the end wasnt the best choice.

Best episode so far. Its getting better each episode!

Animation was still stiff, but I'll take this any day over a bunch of stills. Honestly, I think they adaptated everything pretty well here and the direction was a step up too. Best episode easily 4/5

For some reasons, the episode that seems to be liked by most people is the episode I disliked the most.

The Kaneki / Owl fight was super confusing, the unravel song didn't match anything, some important parts of the fight were cut, Hinami's entrance is forgettable.

In my opinion, this was a terrible episode. I did like the first five episode, but this one was just a big mess.

There was a feeling in the first season, that you even find in root A. A kind of frightening and anxious vibe. Right now, I don't feel any of this. This is just insipid.

Finally more focus around Sasaki this episode. Saiko also showed what she is capable of.

I wasn't a big fan of the first half of the episode. Everything was clumsy. I kinda enjoyed the scene between Mama and Suzuya, she was a terrible person. That Urie's face expression, he is not alright.

Sasaki fighting with two opponents, one being himself had a nice psychology touch. Good that he finally accepted Kaneki, about time. Takizawa is really a strong man. At least the cliffhanger was good in this episode.

The whole thing seems to be made by some sort of amateurs with original material as their guidebook, yet they lack their own sophistication to move in the right direction... Were the fights always this stupid? Exchange of piercing blow until one falls, only to raise up later? I do not remember them being this cheap. Gradually, my disappointment grows proportionally to the series diminishing in quality...

What really is an owl? Is it a class or a sub species?

This episode was fine. I really loved when they played "Unravel" in this episode but it should've had a more epic feel so that's disappointing.

The fights honestly are becoming more shounen than seinen and it's getting ridiculous. I felt the same way in the manga too.

Overall, it was a noteworthy episode but not everything clicked with me.

Haise sure got pummelled by his opponent though. Nutcracker though sure was formidable. Urie sure looked crazy when he was unleashed. Hmm Ginshi's analysis plus the teamwork between the three sure managed to turn the fight against nutcracker. The madam sure got her just fate though. To think that Haise will be saved by Hinami though. Kinda sad that Haise doesn't remember her. Looks like the arc's entering its last stages with Haise's battle being the last part. It was nice that we finally got to see Saiko's power though.

Animation looked way better for the most part (well there was quite some room for improvement in the last couple of episodes), not sure how I feel about them playing unravel there I think that was a bit early...

Overall a decent episode, this show is a mess so I take everything positive I can.

Ayy, we FINALLY got some character development? What the hell, seems like studio Clown forgot to make it a shonen this week. Still a garbage adaptation but the artistic choice at the end was interesting nonetheless. Best episode for me so far

Oooh boy, what a fantastic episode. Definitely rough around the edges, but they packed a whole lotta emotion and action into it. I'm definitely finding this season to be a lot stronger than the previous two, thus far, and I'm loving it. I'm not yet caught up on the manga, so I don't know how well or poor this adaptation has been, but I'm definitely feeling sincerity from the characters.

Urie has officially lost it, but I guess Tooru did something to help him? I didn't really understand that part; it was touching, but I don't see how after Urie punched through Tooru and Tooru showed his quinque everything was suddenly better. Poor Juuzou, his Mama was killed before him. I mean we knew it was coming, but it was still a tad sad to witness.

Shirazu and Saiko vs. Nutcracker was pretty cool. We finally got to see Saiko in action and we witnessed Shirazu's leadership skills first-hand. They also brought back the whole "stop trying to sound human, stupid ghoul" spiel; that was definitely interesting and noteworthy. I mean who would've guessed, living humanoid-creatures act and behave like humans? No, impossible!

It was great to see Hinami in action for once; she really looks up to Kaneki. I wish they would've elaborated more on the relationship between Saiko and Haise, because it's feeling like an unrequited love, or something, that doesn't make much sense. It's harder to connect to the newly introduced characters because there was no anime adaptation of the character building, but that's a choice the studio made and you can't hold them accountable for it. I'm sure this'll feel a lot more fluent and natural once I catch up with the manga, but for now, I'm struggling to put together pieces and relate with the majority of the cast.

When they previewed the fight between Haise and Takizawa I was hoping for a more over-produced fight, but what little resilience Haise put up toward the end was a good treat.

Psyched for next week's episode since they previewed :re and Yoshimura. I love familiar faces.

Overall a very enjoyable episode.

5/5

What I don't understand is why there were a couple simple lines that they didn't include for some reason. Like, during the Mutsuki and Urie scene where Urie was wrapped by Mutsuki's kagune, in the manga


Also, when Juuzou was saying goodbye to Big Madam, in the manga, he said
I know these moments don't really impact the story greatly or anything, but it just annoys me that those lines were omitted when there was no reason to omit them.

Well whatever, at least we got to hear Unravel again. They really love that song lol, they used in the final fight of S1, it was used in the final episode of S2, and now they're using it again in this episode.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

If you want an actual reason, the production wasn't ready for it in time.

Majority of the show is heavily to fully outsourced and don't make me start about the schedule.

Watanabe has to storyboard the next 4 upcoming episodes all by himself two of which he also has to direct and then two of his episode are outsourced to Korea.

The production is in such a dire state that they really have to go with the "functionality over style" approach to even get them out in time.

Sadly people will just jump at the throat of the next best thing they can imagine, being it the studio in question when the ones responsible for it are production circumstances and the committee.

oh, Unravel is more of a cult thing now that played everytime epic things happen :P

well, that was underwhelming, I thought the fight should be more epic and badass than that, feels like the build up is for nothing. you know, the moment you're hyping so much that the nravel plays but the fight ends up with just one thrust. they handle Amon and Jason fight better than this imo...

and is it just me or does Takizawa mask placing is inconsistence? one moment it cover his right face, another it cover his left face.. or is it just camera angle?

still epic episode tho, just fall a bit low on the execution side for me
