Lelouch0202 said: Actually, this arc is the last bit of the manga where all of its pieces are interconnected, coherent, and tied neatly to the original manga. Every little development of the characters was explained clearly in the manga, some of which are spectacularly mind-blowing, even. As an anime only who has kinda lost interest in this show ever since Root A, these episodes feel so random moving from one point to another with almost no coherency. I'm barely able to follow the story, I have no idea who some of these characters are and well whatever I guess. I loved the first season of the anime, Root A was okay but it's been downhill since then. Why is Arima supposed to be OP anyway? I have no idea why he's supposed to be so strong. I have zero clue on how Kaneki won, just looks like plot convenience to me. What are these powerups that Kaneki has? When did he get all those forms? I remember he had some weird form in Root A but it certainly didn't look like anything from this. I have no idea who Furuta is and what his role in everything is? I get that he's supposed to be some sort of mastermind or something but that's about all I know. The only reason I'm watching this is for best girl Eto, so when you cut down screentime on the only thing I want to see, you're kinda destroying the only thing I've been able to salvage from this show. XD Well, look at what we get now. Yet a soulless adaptation with a despicable pacing and terrible animation, despite the 6-months break in-between the seasons. Same here. I'm watching this mess just to see our best girl, Eto. |
I just realized that all of my favorite characters, beside being stunningly beautiful, also happen to be exceptionally skilled murder machines. \('-')/ I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges. |
| Why this episode is rated low ?! The fight is like the best fight I have seen Tokyo Ghoul so far. It kept me at the edge of my seat |
| Tokyo ghoul re is absolute trash |
| Wew... They finished all those fights in this episode. The only thing bearable with this adaptation are the Furuta moments. |
 |
| I almost cry, not because it was emotional or anything(which is not, reunion and Hide scenes was very bland) but mecause they ruined everything good about manga, this fight when I was reading it I was hyped because prior this point nobody defeted Arima and because he had one blind spot Kaneki won and but Pierrot ruined eberything...this is sad, just sad |
  |
| Can someone explain to me why does Kaneki have white hair again? Did that happen in the manga? What caused it and how? |
| Like - The plot Unlike - They just killed off the two big boss like flies. And what's up with that Furuta acting like zetsu obito. |
 Holding on is believing that there's only a past. Letting go is knowing that there's a future. |
| still as boring and confusing as the last two seasons.. |
| So uh, how the hell is this getting even a 7? That's far too generous of you all. I read the manga, loved it for the most part but this anime is pretty much confirmed to adapt 10 chapters an episode. 10 15-18 full page chapters. Manga panels for comparison |

From my point of view Kaneki´s hair change everytime he is going through some near-death experience or existential crisis (name it however you want). Close to death due to injuries from Arima, he met Hide who encouraged him to continue living. And "reborn" with white hair. |

They essentially cut around 10 chapters worth of detail and dialogue that was supposed to make any of this make sense. While it does happen in the manga it's supposed to be a much more impacting scene. The Arima vs Kaneki fight could have lasted an entire episode sadly they just rushed it and hoped you'd make sense. I think the explanation was essentially Yes, but in this case I think color of the hair represents some aspects of Kaneki´s personality rather then scientific explanation :) @Doots I agree with you. The scene when Kaneki awakens reminded me of a phoenix reborn from ashes. Pure beauty. If anything good comes from anime, it at least made me to reread the manga (again). Anyone who has not done it yet, go read the manga. Seriously. |

| The name of the episode should've been "that essay you write at 3 a.m. based on an entire book". I was kinda expecting disappointment but this is straight up disrespect. |

Anyone who has not done it yet, go read the manga. Seriously. It's sad cause we can't really discuss the whole symbolic meaning behind all the changes in this episode since what the anime got is essentially an edgy version of Naruto rushing through transformations. Except Naruto did the whole 9 tails thing much better with Pain, this was just straight up dumpster fire. If I knew how to add pictures here, I would do it immediately. But only googling "see you later touka" gave me Black reaper Kaneki I love so much and much more emotions than this. You are right except that even worst Naruto filler had better animation then re:2. Still will continue watching just to see how will they butcher the rest.. I still hope that maybe (just maybe) next episodes will be at least a bit better.. |

| Ooohh this is just awful as expected kek. Im very disappointed with such rushed anime, an important and emotional battle tossed away in the garbage :/ |
 |
| lmao I can't watch this, as someone who read the manga this is so dog shit I can't put it into words just how bad of an adaptation they made for one of the best mangas. I'm dropping this I've had enough. |
| ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

| The funny thing is you don't even need to read the manga to tell this was super rushed. It's like watching a 2 minute youtube video recap of a 2 hour movie. |
| This show in a nutshell especially the last 2 episodes so far. Seriously Studio Clown what the hell was that all about. Anyway am going to have fun tearing both seasons apart once it's done. |
CptJackSparrow said: Im wondering if they just ruin this adaptation on purpose. I mean wtf, how can ishida tolerating this trash? thats what i wanna knoiw as well would be great if we can hear a statement of him about that matter my opinion ... honestly sudio clown you should apologize too the mangaka , the seiyuu and toio TK for also butchering the op song like that |

XD Why did you mention Root A anyway since Tokyo Ghoul :Re treated Root A as if it was never existed? Furuta is the one who dropped the steel beam on Rize. It wasn't shown in Root A but was shown in the manga that should have been adapted instead of Root A. Arima is OP because he single-handedly drove away and cornered the SSS One-eyed Owl, Eto, slaughtered hundred of ghouls including Touka's mother, effortlessly defeated Yomo and Kaneki. I guess Root A doesn't count in terms of story but I'm just saying that it was a lot more entertaining. I get that Arima is OP to do all that but my question is how did he or why is he so strong in the first place? |

BobDiesel said: I know manga readers are not happy but I thought this was a good episode. Action all around and it was engaging. I liked it. It was rushed but it flowed. Cant wait for the next episode and damn I want to know whats so special about rize kagune later on. Don't kid yourself, they are never happy lol. We knew going in this place was going to be a shit show. |
| As someone who hasn't red the manga and generally disliked the first two seasons, I actually liked the first season of Re.I felt the pacing improved significantly from the first two seasons with a semblance of a proper plot, and characters that were generally likeable. And it feels like with the first two episodes that they've thrown everything down the toilet. Once again I have no idea what is going on and it feels completely rushed; descending into a massive pile of confusing mess. Urgh just when I thought this anime franchise had a slight glimmer of hope... |

Himawari9 said: tambi33 said: Holy! That's the most diverse polling I've seen - all of them are in the 30's region. Woah. I finally learnt that eccentric guy's name, Nimura; he such great character, I always thought that he's carrying a deep secret... The amount of time es he should've been killed. Such a great twist. In other news, Arima is such a sore loser, just 'cause kaneki wasn't killing home he killed himself; sad way to see him -unless he's coming back to life or did he slice off his head.; I can't really tell (Hide. Please come back to life) Nah. Arima is not a sore loser. You will learn the reason in the next episode and technically, Kaneki didn't beat him. Arima didn't fight Kaneki with the intention of killing or beating him, similar to the fight of Kaneki with Eto last season. Both Eto and Arima didn't fight Kaneki seriously. Hide was never dead so how can he come back to life? Root A is not canon. In the manga, Hide was never shown as dead, just listed as missing. And you just catch the twist about Furuta now? After the last season OP painted him in a villainous way and how he killed another investigator in the Rose extermination? Right now, I'm anime only, so I wouldn't have known Hide was listed as missing and I've never treated root A as canon... And from how those events played out it was natural to feel that Hide had died. And with Nimura, it was a case of knowing he had an alternative agenda, but not him having Rize's kakuhou -i actually thought he was a ghoul that had infiltrated the CCG rather than being an artificial ghoul (what are they called? I dunno? I'm going back to sleep) |
 |
| Wtf, too fast, are cutting many parts, it's very confusing ... 3/5 |
"No matter where you go, everyone's connected." Iwakura, Lain. |
| I never really understood Arima and Kaneki's relationship. Arima trained Kaneki/Haise, and he was his boss I guess? Am I seriously supposed to feel bad for Arima when we barely even got to know him throughout the course of the series? He was always in the background. Would have felt more for him if we got some kind of flashback for him. Arima was barely a character. And he killed Touka's mom?! I feel nothing for this dude. Honestly just watching this for Touka now. |
| At this point it seems like an executive at studio Pierrot heard that people were enjoying MHA's faster pace and gone "so you like fast pacing, i'll show you fast pacing". At least in this episode they had breaks in the dialogue and actual transition shots instead of a constant string of speech for 23 minutes like the first episode. I could almost understand why they were butchering the story if they were just prioritizing the fight scenes (this would still mean that they don't care at all about why people like the story in the first place) but the fights are so disjointed, lazy and unengaging that its almost unwatchable. I loved the manga so much and this just hurts to watch. Unforgivable. |
  whats a signature |
| Ok to be me honest, that was way too fast that I didn't get very hyped. The pace destroyed it all. I expected to be hyped on this. |
| idk if this is my own stupidness or if it's the way that s2 has been progressing so far, but i feel like things were just ,, happening ,, and i didn't understand why they were happening - or like there was no reason behind why things were happening??? like i realize the pacing is god awful but i feel things are just happening for the sake of happening and there's no depth or meaning or explanation or anything. i haven't read the manga which is obviously why i'm so lost with re, but it's kinda depressing because i really enjoyed the original manga and now i'm bored half to death and completely clueless with regards to the re adaption :// |
