Tokyo Ghoul is maybe not your type of horror anime that composed of pure gore, torture and violence. I kinda reminds this anime that I watched before, it was "Parasyte: The Maxim" where Parasites are at the very top of the food chain, and the humans are below of it. Same way here on Tokyo Ghoul where the Ghouls are the top where the humans are at the bottom. Except not anyone likes to eat human flesh, there are also times that Ghouls can eat other ghouls as well. In the world where Ghouls were living, either anyone can be an enemy, a supportive friend, or anyone can be a cannibal, psychopathic ghoul who likes to taste of their own kin. Whether it's a Ghoul eats other ghoul, or a hybrid eats another ghoul.

Tokyo Ghoul, I should say, is one of the darkest, story I've ever encountered since Death Note and Parasyte: The Maxim. It is a story full of vengeance, betrayal against of your own family member, loss of your love ones, the pain and suffering, philosophically questioning who and what you really are, the consequences your going to face if humans treated you in a wrong way, and wondering which is the real pests in the world, the humans or the ghouls.

Sad to say, from what I've saw, it looks like the story is kind of unfinished in terms of development (from what I believe though, because Studio Pierrot is known for developing the anime "Naruto", I guess that's the reason why the 1st season here is a bit complicated). Also, I don't feel like I'm going to watch the sequel of this season due to the negative feedback amongst the MAL community. But, from my point of perspective, I'd say it is a very decent anime that you should try for. If you like anything dark themed, then it is highly recommended to watch this anime, you will not be disappointed.
