This is my first review in MAL. Many reviews that I have read either give too long or not enough so I will try my best to provide enough yet short review without any spoilers.

Tokyo Ghoul or Tokyo Kushu mainly set around a boy name Kaneki Ken. His world is filled with fear of ghouls, a man eating being. He was a plain citizen that fear ghouls until he meet Rize.

Story: 5
To be honest I was bored half-way through the anime, only to be excited in some parts throughout all the episodes. It is the usual plot that shounen anime often have. The character encounters something new and it change their fate. They then must struggle to understand the meaning of why did they end up like they are now. In TK Kaneki is similarly like it.

Art: 7
The overall art was okay. However, I just love it how the made the battle scenes. The blood effects, the invert and the sensors were put perfectly to enable the viewers to still feel the full feeling of it. The speed of the fight was fast yet the detail was not missed. Especially the details on their wounds and movements they make.

Sound: 8
To me the opening fits the plot very well. So implementing it to the anime would really give the vibe of what's the battle like to us, viewers. As I wrote, I love their battle scenes. The sound of the music in the background when they fight give off a perfect mix of how the character feels about themselves and the fight with each other.

Character: 10
The character development here is just too awesome to describe. I love Kaneki's character development. You can say he went from a coward to a super badass. In the anime you might realize he often cannot decide what to do. Yet after his decision he was able to unleash the power in him. Other character's development was also very interesting. Their struggle to obtain their place in the world and their view about the world were somewhat changed by meeting Kaneki.

Overall: 8
If the plot was better and more interesting I would most likely give it a 10. Even though I got bored most of the time, in the end it became my most favorite anime. If you have a 'who am I?' psychology problem, you probably can relate to Kaneki here the most and to other characters as well. This anime somewhat represent the injustice to some group of people in the society…

Well that's my opinion. Hope this helps (^U^)v
