| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Man, I really wish they make the action worth watching. It's still all over the place. Looks like we got the stuff about Dragon this episode. The only thing that made this episode felt more impactful is how destructive the Dragon is. That Mutsuki/Saiko scene though. |

| the mutsuki vs saiko and urie was amazing and a desperated scene in the manga where they gave all too get mutsuki back to their side -- but this was really a fast change of mind on Mutsukis side and made it seem like a joke anyways the join the forces with ccg and Ghouls was nice as well as having hide speak again |
| One of the better episodes they got the quinx squad a bit of Development but still the it wasnt perfect |
 |
| Time for my weekly shit talking about the episode.. or not? Tsukiyama scene was a little fast, but still wonderful. As far as pacing goes for the episode, it wasn't awful. Still had parts that were stupidly fast. They easily could have stretched out the team up scene just for suspense reasons, cause they're literally enemies deciding to work together, there's no way in hell that interaction took less than 5 minutes to get everyone on board with it. There was barely any hesitation and it was just line after line with no breaks. Doesn't seem right. I can't say too much more about it since they passed the point that I was at in the manga, but overall I didn't think this episode was all that bad, which is fucking insane for me to say after ripping on every other episode this season. Obviously there's still issues that I picked out, but it was a solid episode compared to the others. If they would have had it this way from the start, we'd be looking at a completely different adaptation, it wouldn't be amazing, but it would be better. Also, they left out Hide's dove joke, that upset me. |
 I love to talk anime and manga, feel free to message me! |
| I can't count how many times was Urie pierced in the chest and this boi is still alive like a fucking ghoul lol. Mod edit: added spoiler tag |

| This episode is little better compared to others One of my favourite character from this series will be in the next episode well it will be inside Kaneki's mind but still worth it |
 |
| I enjoyed this episode quite a bit, especially the moment where humans and ghouls joined forces. The OST is so good. |

Dust_Eyezz said: hey, the pacing nearly made sense. This episode is a 10/10 compared to the rest. I will now give this show a 4 and not a 3. Same here. I think it was the best episode. I was sooo happy when Hide came back cus I just didn't know he will - I can't wait to read manga from the beginning. It hurts me so much because this could be so fantasting! I hope it will get reboot, |
| Still not a great episode by any stretch, but compared to others, this one was practically a godsend. Ok, that's definitely an exaggeration, but it didn't feel as rushed as previous episodes.....which is something I've noticed in this season especially: the episodes with a bunch of action seem like rushed clusterfucks, while setup episodes like this, with mostly dialogue, feel less rushed. I'm glad they kept the Tsukiyama scene in there since I really liked that part. It's unfortunate that the scene with the CCG and Ghouls agreeing to come together was rushed, since it makes it look like the CCG flip-flopped too easily. The Mutsuki thing at the end suffered the same fate, but hey, I've come to expect that from this season. They better not fuck up next episode's conversation with Rize (I don't think this is a spoiler since it's literally the whole preview), but come on.....we know they will lol. Oh yeah, just in case any non-manga readers were wondering, Hide actually said this when he was asked why he's so willing to save Kaneki:  |

| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Man, all the Hide stuff doesn't make any sense following rootA's ending, especially the reason Also wished they showed some of the dragon moving at least before straight away cutting to its paused phase but oh well, at least they didn't create it using butchered CG |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Kaneki's dream is coming true, ghouls and humans are working together. |
 |
| They didn't skip a lot this episode. However, because of all the things that have been skipped till now, a lot of the things that happened here was meaningless. Kaneki decided that his goal was to unite humans and ghouls. He kept on failing and now he's killing those that he always wanted to save. Hide ended up fulfilling Kaneki's wish, even though Kaneki has never talked about it with him. It was mentioned quite early in TG that Hide has an intuitive understanding of Kaneki. Here, he shows it. It was supposed to be an emotional scene, but the anime made it quite underwhelming. Hide easily admits he likes Kaneki. That was also an important scene that lost its impact. In the horrible world of TG, Hide's love for Kaneki was so innocent and pure. I don't know what kind of love that is, but the anime makes it look like the words were meaningless. The fight between Urie and crazy Mutsuki ended with the former getting stabbed by the latter. Remember that time when Urie had gone mad, and Mutsuki had let Urie stab her? Nishiki and Kimi met while getting coffee. For their reunion, Nishiki brings her a can of coffee. The best scene was when Tsukiyama started crying and screaming when Itori had called Kaneki a murderer. I actually felt the same emotion I had felt when reading the manga. Thank you Miyano Mamoru for doing such an amazing job. He really showed us why he is better than all the other voice actors he was working with. Am I the only one who thought the characters' heads looked quite off this episode? They appeared big and round in a lot of the scenes. I really hope Pierrot doesn't cut out the scene where Ayato screams 'SUSUME---!!!' I want to hear how Eren's actor would sound like saying that line. |
GAY............................................................................ |
| Epic episode in terms of literally everything! It's a shame that the whole anime was not like that |
| This was a bad episode but not as bad as some of the other episodes recently. I already disliked this portion of the manga and the anime somehow makes shit look 10x worse. I know the pacing for this was better handled compared to other episodes but still, I just struggle to give a shit because the buildup to the unity was so poor. |
| Wasn't Hide dead !!! |
| i want my 5 minutes of walking from that awful Root A ending back |

| Just three more episodes to go and this nonsensical trainwreck will finally be over. As frustrating as it is proving to be, I know I can get through these final few episodes. |
| a little too late to start improving so sad |
| The pacing was more among the lines of reality this time lol. |
| i hate that they cut out the "because i love him" line, god forbid we have hide say he loves his best friend. |
   |
NeonZ3C0 said: Wasn't Hide dead !!! No, it has already been revealed in the previous' episode that he survived. |
| Alright, sweet. We finally got a mediocre episode that slows the pacing down a little. Can't wait to see how they adapt next episode. |
| So they left the decision to Suzuya, shows how much the organization appreciates his work. Now that the investigators and ghouls are working together to stop Kaneki, this will surely bring them a bit of peace after this. Kaneki is bringing peace without realizing it. As for the Mutsuki part, I felt it was stupid and pointless. Did she want to kill them or kill herself, which one was it? Such a stupid scenario that was for real. Good episode, |

Life is strange  |
| Oh boy, that was a total mess. Total retardation of a show. Let`s go: 1. CCG are fighting a city destroying threat. But it was Tsukiyama Mirumo(Shuu dad) who supplied them with numerous metal detectors. Just because of the prime minister's immense aid. Do you really want me to believe that CCG were not able to get this? Fighting against the biggest ghoul out there? Oh yes, they would definitely not get it even if they asked! Definitely. But prime minister`s acquaintance? Sure. Makes sense. 2. Did they really tried to justify the Doctor Mengele`s equivalent? Just what the fuck really? "People will finally realize how much they can help out the medical field". And he worked for CCG? What the actual fuck? Oh sure we defenitely need to feel a little bit sympathy for someone who ruined numerous lifes and was happy torturing people, giving them fate worse than death. WTF! 3. How did even Furuta plan this? His goal was to turn Kaneki into a "dragon". But the plan is totally random. What if Kaneki died there? He did not even order Mutsuki to go after Touka or anyone that is important to Kaneki. The thing just happened and then Furuta is like "Just According to Keikaku". 4. The whole scene with ghouls talking about what Kaneki has done for them felt like some days have passed but the event has clearly just happened. Anti-climatic. 5. They teamed up with barely a hesitation. And that was okay. But right after it they split into quinx and ghouls searching for Kaneki and CCG fighting ghoul-like creatures again. Felt anti-climatic. ' 6. Just kill the friggin Mutsuki. What a shitty character. "He knew that I am a girl" and what? Yonebayashi is also a girl and nobody has a problem with it. I would not even start about Hide. I do not even care when someone dies. They all always coming back. And Urie is immortal. |
| Me being a non-manga watcher of this anime, it was going alright.... but this episode had me so annoyed; after all of that tension between ghouls and human, they've, to an extent, resolved the issue, all too simplistically; it was too happy. Too easy. Yeah, I get that what's happening affects everyone, but this is ignores everything that's happened until now. Bit ashamed, to say the least. |
 |
| Hide: "What's up guys i'm back after i died but not really, i simply hid for years, oh and i think i'm gay now" i love tokyo ghoul. |
| Hide actually says he loves him in the anime, it's just that the awesome streaming services we have, translated it too "I like the dude"... It looks like the people working the subs are in denial or think that a shounen series can't have a normal character openly being gay. |

Õ = ou and ~U = uu, I don't get it cause I don't really know Japanese but the amount of titles I searched all had this in common. I was more referring to the actual age of Hide even though he is an adult but don't looks like it |

| Is there any reason why Hide is covering his mouth? And why does his voice sound so weird? |

Still this is the anime forum and we are talking about the anime. Anime, yes this anime that is supposed to make me read the manga. And you know what? This pile of garbage has discouraged me from reading manga. I am pretty sick about Tokyo Ghoul about viewing this. And I know this is not right because manga is better. Can`t help my stomach though. |
