Tokyo Ghoul is indeed a very popular animation, adapted by its manga, becoming more and more well-known across the globe. I happened to find out about Tokyo Ghoul on Tumblr, with all the endless amazing and bad ass fan arts of the characters, i decided to give it a try.
The main plot of this story is about the two different types of citizens living in Tokyo, the human and the ghoul. Being aware of each other, they live a very careful life. The human avoided being eaten by the ghoul, while the ghoul hide themselves from being captured by humans.
Kaneki was once a very ordinary boy, living a dull boring life, but that drastically changed overnight. What was he like ? Why did his life change ? How does he cope with it ? The answers lie within his journey. Vampire and ghoul are two very mainstream animation idea, that's what makes it hard to turn the idea around and create something original. Would you like the animation and keep on watching or would you do the opposite ? The answer is yours to decide. But it is totally possible for you to click the 'next episode' because honestly, what's not to like about it ?
A boy living with ghoul's organs only to become, probably the most powerful and unique ghoul around, the somewhat gory scenes, the amazing plot. Still not convinced enough to watch it ? Did I mention about the bad ass and cool looking female protagonist ? I just did.
As much as i love the anime, i do have something about one of the character that disappoint me a little bit at the beginning. The male ghoul named Uta. His cool fan arts on tumblr could be the reason why i started watching, (although i keep on going because of the story itself), i expected him to be as bad ass as in the fan arts, but he is more of a polite guy, and possibly a little shy. Nevertheless, i happen to love him anyway.
I'm very looking forward to the second season. The ending of season 1 will leave you wanting more because of the cliffhanger, so the continuation must be breathtaking.
