Tokyo Ghoul really was an awesome anime and it kept me captivated until the very end.
The gore and action aspect of this series was really what kept me hyped for watching it and kind of reminded me of other anime I have watched before (like Naruto and Deadman Wonderland).
The opening song is really cathy and well conceived, being well combined with the flow of the series.
Character-wise this series gives you a bit of everything: the badass female, the screwed up, the scared cat, the freak, the responsible leader, etc.
The story builds a really good plot from the very first episode to the very last one, with every episode we know more about the Ghoul, Ghoul groups, and the police who are divided by areas as well as their intentions to one another.
Now for the main character you really don't see a big change on him until the last episode, he just adapts to the situation he is in and has that cliché behaviour: "Why me? Why me? I don't wanna hurt or be hurt" (kinda like in Deadman Wonderland).
In levels of enjoyment I would say that the action part makes up for it and is well balanced with the portion of building up the story and the characters themselves.
The only thing I could say I didn't like would be the lenght of the anime, the events seemed a bit pushed faster in the last episodes, some fights would become better if longer, or just certain events.
Overall this anime is really one of the best anime I have seen, in any category.
