Aix Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 http://myanimelist.net/anime/22319/Tokyo_Ghoul Surprised no one made a thread already, this has gotten some degree of attention. [spoiler=First Impressions]Episode one wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either. Was sorta generic and lacked any sort of real impact, except a bit at the end. Wish the main character wasn't so bland, but you gotta make the MC the self-insert amirite? /sarcasm Don't like the design of the glasses girl, and it looks like she'll be recurring through the series (I don't know, I haven't read the manga, but it looks like she's actually there within him and she's listed as a main character on MAL). Hair-over-eyes girl looked nice though, and it is interesting that not all ghouls are just mindless monsters with a desire to eat and they have some sort of organization. Will be following it because of that, it reminds me of Shiki.[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Tumblr's all hype for this, and I don't see why. Yes, it's not bad, but like all other animes that started yesterday, it wasn't really impressive. But yeah, the hair-over-eyes girl is interesting, and if they're really organized, the plot development should be good. Last season's anime starts were better IMO.

Fusion X. Denver Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 I thought it had an alright start in showing the MC's despair and desperation behind his transformation. I was surprised by there being several more ghouls, kinda freaks me out there are a bunch of people calmly eating others. Out of all anime locales I know of, I'd hate living in this Tokyo. (Nothing's as bad as AoT though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Show's really good guys, I don't know what you're talking about. Also Toka is my favorite right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 It's been pretty good so far. A lot of people are having issues with the heavy censorship though. I'm in the middle, I don't particularly care for gore so I don't mind censoring, but I think the censorship is a little too excessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 tbh, I didn't mind the light show. do they usually leave the gore in when they release shows on DVD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 So it's been a while. This show is still great. I've been staying one week behind because Hulu, but i've been okay with that since I don't really talk to folks about it that often. The gourmet guy was a bit weird to deal with, but it's definitely an interesting thing to throw into the mix considering everything else going on. The opening has definitely grown on me quicker than most things, and I can't wait to see what the whole deal about his white hair is at the end of it. Just to reiterate my opinions of stuff everyone else posted: 1. Episode 1 was really good, don't know what you're all talking about. The set up may not have been the "best", but it did its job quickly and effeciently, and frankly everything after the operation was f***ing tense. 2. I didn't even realize that the inverted colors were censorship my first time watching it, because artistically, it was so much more appealing than straight up blood and gore. It just looked cooler, and I'd prefer if they do that every time he f***ing loses it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Episode 5, Touko bites his neck to gain strength. If I were him, the first thing I'd probably say to her after the fight would be "So did I taste good~?" But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were him, the first thing I'd probably say to her after the fight would be "So did I taste good~?" But that's just me. This. Plus, she IS kinda hot. Iunno bout you lot, but chicks + blood is okay with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 The only thing that still bugs the F[b][/b]UCK outta me is that this anime is basically censored. Like, so many other brutal animes, but this one. . .AGH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 First censorship thing didn't bother me. Episode 4 did. The convenient shadow thing always bugs me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Luckily, when we get the Blu-Ray version, those pesky censorships won't be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 I dont know why there isn't a way for them to offer the uncensored version. Mainly cause that blu ray is going to be expensive as fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 I dont know why there isn't a way for them to offer the uncensored version. It airs on the regular japanese TV. That's why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 But the show online doesn't, and it has to be a different file. And the uncensored version has to exist for the uncensored version to be available. So it's not like it's impossible to also offer the uncensored version.

It isn't, but Crunchyroll always uses the TV version. The uncensored version will only be available in the Blu-Ray, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
☪©h@ÐØÖk.exe☪ Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 I have watched the anime, and it is really good. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghoulish Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Was gonna start a thread on Tokyo Ghoul before I saw this. Personally love the Manga the anime however has been butchered beyond belief not even just due to the censorship but of the events of the story, messing up with the pacing to fit 70 chapters (the point in which the anime will finish this season by the looks of it) within 12 episodes. Hopefully it gets enough popularity for an eventual remake adaptation that follows the Manga accurately. Still enjoy somewhat watching the anime just to see the characters come to life.

Fusion X. Denver Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Guess I'll check the manga out at some point then. I do feel like there's something missing from the show, though I couldn't tell you what. It'd be cool if more anime got the FMAB treatment, but alas there's not enough money in Japan for it.

Ghoulish Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Yea it is disappointing, I'm surprised you haven't heard about the manga getting no justice from the anime, every episode is normally followed by a comment of how it as different in the manga lol but definitely recommend you check it out definitely in my top 3 manga since seeing the change in Kaneki.

Agro Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 To be honest, while not having read the manga, this entire series is stunningly well made. It may not follow the manga to your liking, but it's faaar from a disappointment. The focus of the show being around what is good and evil when people being who they are comes in conflict with others is great, albeit a little less subtle than I would like after Kaneki's thought process in the last episode. Prior to that moment, it was absolutely spectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghoulish Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 To my liking would mainly be sticking to the actual story however obviously 70 chapters within 12 episodes requires rearrangements, eg: The Mado vs Touka and Amon vs Kaneki fights actually occur before they fight the Gourmet Ghoul. The story is fantastic and it does dive deep into what is "Humane" and whether or not something that threatens humanity deserves to live whilst still making you care for the latter. Read the Manga and decide whether or not the anime has fallen short of your expectations. Entirely different ball game with this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 To me, the only thing wrong with the anime so far is that I didn't feel they even need to include the gourmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
