Tokyo Ghoul was one of those anime packed with action and adventure. I felt the story was very intriguing and kept bringing me back to watch it every week. The characters had their own unique personality and the art was a very delightful thing to watch. HOWEVER I did not like the intense gore that was included in this anime. I'm fine with stabbing and some violence in an anime I watch but this one was very violent. The level of gorey-ness, as one may put it, was too much for me, which is why I didn't give it a 9 or 10.
So if you dont mind the intense gore that this anime will bring, then go for it. You will enjoy the anime.
