In this review I will mention previous seasons of a Tokyo ghoul, so some spoilers may be mentioned.
Seeing as Tokyo ghoul was the first anime I watched completely and manga series I read as it was being published, it has a special place in my heart. Nonetheless that does not excuse the fact that this series did get worse each season, and has large plot holes for anime only watchers.
In my opinion I thought the first season of Tokyo ghoul was was enjoyable , followed the manga well (only missing a few points) and was something I would recommend watching. The animation was fine and captured fight sequences to a good enough standard, plus you can’t forget the rightfully popular OP ‘Unravel’
Tokyo Ghoul √A
Then the second season rolled around... wow. With all the aspects of the first season and some awesome OST’s. it looked promising at first glance, but it didn’t follow the source material (for the most part) and is basically not cannon.
Tokyo Ghoul:re
After a long wait, Tokyo ghoul:re aired. Due to the fact Tokyo Ghoul √A didn’t follow the events of the manga anime only watchers were left confused. I thought it would be okay though, and regain the great timing, animation and story aspect of the first season that Root A missed out on. I sure was wrong... in my opinion the entire 2 seasons of Tokyo ghoul:re felt rushed, covering way to many chapters in the first episode alone (only getting progressively worse as it continued) I didn’t like the art style in TG:re and the animation was poor. Resulting in the fight sequences feeling somewhat static. The only redeeming feature of Tokyo ghoul:re for me was the soundtrack, with some of the tracks from previous seasons it made me feel nostalgic.
In conclusion I would say just skip watching Tokyo ghoul:re and read the manga instead. I like Tokyo ghoul as a whole, but just wanted TG:re to end so I could watch something else. Obviously this is just my personal opinion, and it’s good if you enjoyed Tokyo Ghoul:re even though I didn’t.
