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

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. |
| Suzuya Squad enters Hinami protecting Haise Haise accepting Kaneki If they had upped the budget for this episode, it could have came out real nice. |
| This episode was the best one so far.. Urie and Kaneki were amazing, I loved the unravel at the end and the fight scenes were awesome |
 |
| 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 |
 |
| For those who haven't seen the episode yet,you can mute the sounds when unravel starts to play and improve your experience. |

Daniel_Naumov said: 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... They're suffering some serious production issues rn https://twitter.com/overlord_jet/status/993908070672560130?s=19 What a shame bc it could be a LOT better |

That still doesn't justify how bad this adaption is in my opinion. Such a well known series would bring them so much profit if it is done properly, like if you can't give it enough effort why would you announce a new season to begin with. |

| Was nice to see Unravel playing. But damn, these fights are ridiculously bad animated and designed. |

I was hoping that they would exceed the manga in some ways but it seems that it's mediocre compared to it (for me, at least). |
| somehow the death of big mama was more emotional in the manga for me, even though they adapted it the same way it was there. that moment hanbee closed juuzo's ears i teared up, while here it was kind of meh don't really care about unravel either, while it is emotionally strong, can't say putting it over takizawa's and haise's fight was the most fitting |
 |
| Good to see Unravel song once.My favourite song in Anime. Better animation than last week but some parts were clumsy. |
 |
| The best thing about the episode is a song what who could have guessed that ???? Well its not like that's something new in this franchise. |
| idk how I feel about them playing unravel....definitely made the episode better but I feel like it could've been used somewhere else. At least the fight scenes were better than the other episodes have been so far. |

I was not talking about justification, I was giving explanation to why it is how it is. I say that again and again but it seems to be a deeply rooted misconception: Prestige or Popularity does not protect you from production issues. Production issues appear in pretty much every production and are nearly unavoidable due to the nature of anime production itself. It allows for hiccups at numerous points that eventually lead to more and more problems which in return forces producers & the staff to make decisions that increase the chances that the production won't crash as a whole. In this case the demanded schedule clearly couldn't be tackled in time so they had to make a decisions that does not affect several projects at once and outsource the main production load. Your IP can be as popular as you want, issues will appear and something will have to suffer consequences for it. Here it's an accumulation of several issues leading to a big decision that had to be made. Like it or not, it's how this came to be. It's not a matter of effort, I always hate when people envelope that into their criticism. It's a matter of circumstances and consequences. And between greenlighting & scheduling a project and actually producing is a big step my friend. It's not easy as "if you can't do x after all then don't do y in the first place" |

It is a bother that two seasons have been messed up and I would refer that to the poor management and hmm unfortunate circumstances but whatever, all we can do is to TRY to enjoy the remaining episodes. |
| The closer you get to the light,the greater your shadow becomes. |
Let me guess... Anime-only, right? |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
yamen said: I see thank you.

No problem man. I can't say much in terms of adapting the source cause that's always a joined effort by what the committee wants and what Director, Script writer & series composition ends up doing. But in terms of production values it's an unfortunate case but I can't blame them. I'm legit sad for Watanabe because storyboarding and directing one episode while bringing in some creative aspects is extremely difficult in today's environment but 4 episodes in a row? Poor dude. |
| This was the best episode!! I really loved when they played Unravel during the fight between Haise and Takizawa. |
| How can unravel makes things so much better?... |
| I just log in to my account since so long to give this episode (5 out of 5) XD so exciting at the end |
| Didn't think I'd miss Unravel this much. How nostalgic. |
 |
| i was playing game using my mobile i was not interested the episode was boring with bad animation but when i heard unravel i jumped from my seat and my heart beat went beating was at level u cant imagine it |
| HYPE HYPE I GOT CHILLS WHEN UNRAVEL STARTED!!!!!!! |
dasprn said: Crowney said: 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. What really is an owl? Is it a class or a sub species? Neither. Takizawa as you may remember was a fully human ghoul investigator and is Dr Kanou's latest experiment. Kaneki was made from Rize (Binge Eater) but he made his own identity so he was never called anything in relation to her. I won't spoil who Takizawa's ghoul half came from, but the name is a reference to that. Not a species or sub species. It's like how both Touka and Ayato are rabbits. |
| I forgot how epic Hinami's Kagune is, inherited both Kagune's from her parents. Glad to see she became quite strong. But sadly not strong enough! A lot of action this episode and boy that cliffhanger tho! |
 |
| Now it is time to get him more badass. We can finally see some strength growing inside of him. Especially the part where lil Ken was in front of him got me a little bit and touched me somehow. |
 |
| I love Unravel, but it was really distracting this time. It matched Kaneki and Jason's fight, and also that root A scene where Kaneki is carrying Hide, but not Sasaki's fight with Takizawa. Their fight was one of my least favourite things in the manga as well. I can't remember what had happened in the manga very well, but I do remember that Hinami was awesome. The anime didn't make Hinami look as amazing as the manga. (I hope they play 'licht und schatten' this season as well. I love that track so much that I might be willing to ignore some poorly adapted scenes! Lol.) |
| Funny how Unravel made this episode amazing, my jaw dropped literally! Been waiting to see this scene animated and the ones to come for so long, even though it isn't perfect I'm loving it. It's like Tokyo Ghoul season 1 which I still believe is good because it stayed true to the manga. Yes it was rushed but for someone who's already read the manga I was satisfied, this is exactly how I'm feeling towards the Tokyo Ghoul:RE adaptation |
 |
| Yeah so I couldn't wait for this episode, a mixture of hype and fear of disappointment made me read and finish the re:manga. A GOOD adaptation corrects issues with the source material, which in this case I would argue is the confusing number of relevant characters, whose appearance may be similar to other characters or indeed they have a new hair colour/look/gender and confusing fight scenes. Honestly this anime REALLY needed to take its TIME to establish backgrounds and characters and QUALITY ANIMATION to do this manga justice. Sadly it looks like these are the two things Pierrot has no interest in :/ I honestly believe Tokyo Ghoul was a great anime adaptation, route A despite being an abomination of a story had great animation, this is failing all over the place. Having read the manga its really disheartening - my last ditch hope is that they pick up the pieces for the future. Knowing the arc this is covering in the maga IDK how this anime can really redeem itself in 6 more episodes - really may drop this sadly and I was so so hype for the series too :( |
 Wahey, shout out to studio Pierrot (that was a dead one 😅😅) Another great episode but this mission is taking forever... I wanna see progression. These twelve episodes aren't cutting it. (Nice to know there'll be another sequel in August; But what the heck, couldn't ya be a bit quicker) Anyway, both kaneki and sasaki are at odds as none wants to disappear; it seems as though this story is about a special individual who will create a change that allow ghouls and humans to co-exist -fun theme, but I hope to be proven wrong with a plot twist.. otherwise it'll feel reminiscent of a story for vampires and humans to live in harmony But either way, right now it feels like the ending will be what I had just mentioned or an endless divide between ghouls and humans; so really I just want it to be an interesting build up to what is ultimately desired by the creator. Moreover,I need some more people to die as it was good to see a first, potentially "big" death with owl... "I think" |

| The best episode with Unravel at the end ! |
MrGuido said: A comment earlier said that it had nothing to do with effort or the team working on TG:re. They're having production issues and the staff is overworking, so you cant blame them for the bad animation A production company is supposed to manage itself so that it doesn't encounter production issues and doesn't become understaffed in order to avoid forcing staff to overwork. That's their whole job - to produce anime |
| It was good to hear Unravel play during Sasaki's fight against Takizawa. It did make the fight more epic. =) The animation was an improvement over last weeks, but reading other user's posts about how much the production staff are struggling with the show does make me a bit sad. I can only hope that they continue to do their best, despite their issues. D= Hinami's appearance was pretty awesome as she came in to help Sasaki. She wasn't strong enough to take down Takizawa, but her fighting ability alone is still pretty admirable though. All in all, this was a pretty good episode. The preview for next time had a different song and not that hideous ticking and static ear-piercing screech before, but what it showed was very interesting. Looking forward to it. =) |
| So I'm confused. Did he finally get his memories back or is that in the next episode? Has "Kaneki" returned? |
