This anime was eye-catching with its stunning visuals and also its brilliant opening.The opening was extremely detailed as it included the ghoul eyes in the ghouls reflections. Furthermore its opening sound track brilliantly executed by Yamada Yutaka and it also complimented the stunning art. However it had its downfall as there was a lack of development in the characters background, also it tried to introduce too much characters in 12 episodes. They could have improved this by focusing on the main chracters and by also showing Kaneki's inner conflict with Rise. In my opinion the best episodes were the first and last as both episode kept the audience at the edge of their seats.Personally I think that the manga was better as you got to see more of Kanzeki's fights as a bad ass. The series story is a very thought out idea as it shows conflict between ghouls and humans just as the writer wanted it, but the main character is a wimp who wants co-existence between human and ghoul he does nothing to show for this except cry throughout the entire series.The last episode however contradicted Ken's wimpy persona and he transformed into a total bad ass which the audience wanted to see. Another fail in character development was that they added a paedophile who did nothing but sniff Ken's blood on a napkin throughout the whole series. I hope that season two fill in the mistakes season one made and also I hope to see more of Rise's past as she is my favourite character in the entire series.
