This review will contain Spoilers for the Manga Yeah I know that I already did a review for Season 1 but since I havent watched Root A and read the whole Manga I might as well comment on the whole entirity of the series. SPOILER AHEAD STORY: Tokyo Ghoul is a story of a human who enters the world of Ghouls by unknowingly going on a date with a Ghoul who got smashed to bits and the organs given to Ken Kaneki. Honestly I loved most of the volumes of this series the plot was really interesting. Originally Ken wanted to prove that Ghouls and Humans can coexist together. The combat was fun and engaging and the characters also were interesting. But sadly the further we get into the story the more off it starts feeling. The story is less about Ken wanting to have a peacefull life and more about him corrupting and becoming the ULTIMATE BEING that eats other ghouls. I found myself honestly confused and even angry at times due to the decision the author decided to pick for this series. Especially the last few volumes. big spoilers I suppose Kaneki loses his mind eats his friend WHO HE TRIED TO PROTECT FOR THE WHOLE ENTIRITY OF THE SERIES he just eats him in a second. Then he gets killed and a clone of him is made. What the actual fuck was that ending honestly. To say that I am dissapointed is too little I honestly loved the starting portions of the series. The world building combined with character development. It was amazing but then they had to try and set up a forced seqeul and it just messed up the perfect story in my opinion. 400https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/553911133640327198/611903531225710602/unknown.png CHARACTERS: Ken The main focus of the story. At first he wants a calm life but then goes psycho mode and just kills everything. Despite him being originally a weak wuss of a character I liked that it showed his Human side very well. Touka Big tsundere. She likes Humans and just like Ken would do nearly everything to protect their friend. We got to see a lot of her at the start but then her panel time decreased sadly. Amon Ever since that first fight with Kaneki he has been interested in him. Why was Ghoul pleading for mercy that was the question. His character was cool even in the end he kept his original form of a strict and yet caring Dove. Suzuya He is quite insane even from the start. He does his job very well without mercy. He also kept his original character at the end which was nice. Tokyo Ghoul does have MUCH more characters but these are the ones that made the most impact on me. Or in other words these are the characters that I would be able to name if someone asked me out of nowhere about the series. 400https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/553911133640327198/611904266625351681/unknown.png ART: Tokyo Ghoul has a very good art style very detailed. The fight scenes looks really good. It does a wonderful job at telling us the vibe that Kaneki is giving off at the moment. It gets more insane as the volumes go to probably potray Kanekis mind. 400https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/553911133640327198/611904016724525067/unknown.png OVERALL OPINION: Tokyo Ghoul is a series that has incredible potential and that I liked but then it just...flopped. I honestly wish we could get a proper ending I keep hearing the RE series is a big mess due to the reason that it tries to add too many characters and doesnt explain much. Honestly I am quite saddened but hey what can ya do.
