Tokyo Ghoul:re season 1 is a pretty faithful adaptation

The thing that sets Tokyo Ghoul apart is the ability of Ishida to display so many ranges of emotions with his art. The anime doesn't even try to do it justice. It's like they took the aroma out of food.

The first roughly 50 chapters of the manga are what is covered in the 12-13 episodes of tokyo ghoul re season 1. Is that an absurd amount of chapters to cover in that amount of time? Yes. Did it cut out any major things? No.

People need to stop lying to themselves and just admit they didnt like re because of the new cast of characters around Kaneki. Is re a downgrade? yes. is it deserving of a score above 6.5? clearly yes


i aint going to defend the trainwreck of s2 tho

I was really surprised to see how faithful the first season of re was. And I actually don’t think it should have been like that. The previous season was (as per ishidas request) anime original. Therefore if we go back to covering the manga then there’s missing context (such as the battle with Arima which was hinted but not shown). So it should have just kept going anime original instead of having a faithful yet rushed adaptation
As for the second part, even the manga is a trainwreck in its final arc so they just started cutting shit that wouldn’t fit in 12 episodes. It’s a shame the higherups forced the studio to make 12 episodes per season. If they had more time perhaps they could have added stuff to make the whole dragon arc better

the washuu was the downfall of tokyo ghoul.

VeryGhoul said:

Nah. Ishida did an excellent job with the washu conspiracy. Where Tokyo Ghoul fucked up was around re vol9 (or 10. I don’t remember when these things appeared in the story) when the first one eyed king was shown. Like yeah I know it’s introducing the idea of the dragon but it was never explored further and it was one of the many pointless things added in the story around the final arc
To be fair Ishida says at the end of the final volume that he rushed the ending cause he was pretty much dying while writing Tokyo Ghoul so I can’t really blame him for not being able to flesh out his ideas

I binged watch the entirety of re and I don't think I could quite tell you what was going on a lot of the time. This didn't happen with the season 1 or root A. The animation was also extremely bad imo. I think it deserves less than 6.5
