The worst part of Tokio Ghoul was Season 3+ where it did in a extreme speed up and follow the Manga. But even if they made it properly the Story itself (that came from the Manga) was trash. 90% of ppl dying coming back as Ghouls is so beyond bad :,D Not following the Manga was the right way, and deciding to go back to Manga at Season 3 was the beginning of the end. Season 1 and 2 were beautiful and close to art, everything after that belonged in the trash.

As someone who prefers anime but has read a lot of manga, I really think its true that the manga is better most of the time (with Light Novel adaptations even moreso). I get how this sentiment can be obnoxious and annoying but part of the problem is how its said, coming off as confrontational instead of encouraging. Anyways, I would encourage you that the next time you see someone say "the manga is better" to maybe check it out.

100% Agree, that's the case for a lot of anime when animating moving frames its basically impossible to get anywhere near as detailed as a Manga. only cases where the anime looks equal or better is when the manga has a simple art style that can be easily reproduced.

Beautiful and gruesome too

Sui Ishida's art throughout Tokyo Ghoul was my biggest complaint of the manga. It makes amazing panels most of the time but when there is a slugfest or some fast paced action the art becomes incomprehensible, there are no sharp outlines and it becomes hard to tell what the fuck is going on.

@@jaceharrison7936 i think he addressed that in his afterword. that if he took a break he felt he would probably just never go back to it. so he pushed through and just. gave it an ending, and closed the book on the series.

@@butituti9036 i agree. Even the "bad" ghouls have the saddest back stories T^T

For me it was what Garnt showed in the video, with Takizawa writing his will. Even in the anime it was damn powerful and harsh. At first it's treated as a way to show off the characters' personalities in a silly way, only to be reminded that all of these characters have lives that they're DEATHLY afraid of losing.

Music is good atleast, but too much would go in or happen while it’s playing to even appreciate it.

@@TheYoungFan0 Yeah fr

Personally, I think "edgy" is too vague to be criticism. And while some works considered "edgy" lack direction as you say, others don't have that problem and are still considered "edgy" nonetheless. For example, works that are mean-spirited and are made to rip on something else are considered "edgy" as well. Like Gigguk said, it's more of a feeling, not a genuine criticism.

So I have a question for you. What shows do you think are edgy with your definition? I have seen multiple people say shows like: Re-Zero, Devil man Crybaby, Akame ga kill, Tokyo Ghoul, Deadman Wonderland etc... are edgy shows. But in that same thread that was asking for: "What are the edgiest shows you've seen?" No one/or very little ppl ever mentions shows like: Berserk, Attack on Titan, Cyberpunk Edge Runners etc... All have dark tones to them. Just to expound and potentially start a discourse - Ultimately, I think part of the problem here is that people have different definitions of the word "edgy". Some think it's a good thing while others think it's a bad thing. Those who think it is a good/ok thing are quite honestly mistaken. They are defining edgy as: " dark & cool/mysterious" That's not what edgy is. Dark, cool & mysterious is dark cool & mysterious; We have words for those already. Edgy is something or someone, being or trying to be, intense/dark and or errant/deviant, for the sake of being so, cause its cool. 1. Characters can be edgy, but that's not synonymous with bad/edgy writing since that can be WHO the character is - people like that exist. 2. Writing can be edgy. Per the definition of edgy, this is basically when the writing is dark but is just plain and simple, badly written/executed to the point where the meaning, impact and experience are lost/overshadowed by merely the darkness itself. So, for all intents and purposes, it becomes writing/a story that is dark, intense etc... to be just that - cause its cool. Which should not be the case since the dark writing/stuff should be there to SUPPORT and CREATE, meaning impact and experience. [ Also, last side note (For Gigguk & others): Just bc something looks edgy, doesn't mean it is. Looks alone is not what makes edgy. This can be said for multiple other things. Ex.) Just bc it looks bad doesn't mean it is, looks don't determine what is of actual, meaningful quality. ]

I think the Edge line has more to do with emotional investment, which is admittedly tied to direction, but still more subjective. This is why Edge is associated with immaturity; younger audiences get invested more easily, and older audiences are more jaded to stories in general as well as their younger selves.

imo edgy is just another term for "teen angst" used by people being lazy when critiquing a work. I think its more a problem of people failing to critique work for actual failings. Its very similar to political statements meant to dehumanise the opposition so you can just point out failings because they hold the opposite view to you, rather than having meaningful discourse.

@@JLRB__ you need a tl;dr on that essay, but I'll answer the question at the top. I'm honestly not too in the weeds on anime, so I don't have a lot of examples to pull from, but shows like SAO and whatever the one is with the guy who makes a gun and gets way too cozy with a vampire or whatever that looks like a *child*, those shows are almost all edge and no substance. Bad things happen to the main character and a harem happens because the author was horny and the MC is the only character with any fleshing. It's that kind of egotistical worldview of "I'm so tragic and no one understands me" that rejects even the notion of other characters being more than set-dressing. Re: Zero definitely has some edge to it, but there sometimes needs to be leeway in that judgement when looking at the story being told. MC again ends up with a gaggle of gals following after him, but there is depth to other characters that not only disagree with MC but also outright oppose and fight against him. These other characters gain depth from empathizing with seeing a person going through trauma and also having different tolerances for their how far they extend personal sympathies as they interact. This is the substance that's needed behind the edge to really cut deep, because if all you have is edge then you'll only ever be skin-deep. Edit: the "leeway" I'm giving RZ is due to the broad scope of the story. If you were to either add more characters or better flesh out the ones in play, you'd end up with something similar to the run-length of the original Fullmetal Alchemist anime. That's not all bad, Hughes had more of an impact for the exposure we had with him, but it dilutes what should be the core of the story which is of two brothers trying to reconcile their shared grief.

We would have probably gotten the Kaneki v Suzuya fight drawn shame we didn't :/

Dragon arc has the greatest potential so far, I would spare any previous arc to get a better narration of it (except Rushima Island, oh god it went so wrong but still bearable). Just imagine Washuu members or other CCG regions across the world to response to the whole mess. it was too rushed even at the confrontation between Kaneki and Furuta. like how Furuta got kicked the day he was promoted. also Rize was treated so bad, she was disregarded. also the clowns were so wild imo. There's more but that's not the point. Arima's death was a flag and the beginning of an end, not the end itself. There're some cons at the end for the most part howerver, it could be better if ishida stopped for a while and handled it properly. Tokyo Ghoul was one of the gracious things he and we had, as it developed his art and fame, and for us, it was thought-provoking interesting and phenomenal. it is hard to see a mangaka puts his soul in the work like Ishida, the fact Tokyo Ghoul was done in 8 years never fails to amaze me regardless the art and quality. I would never sayisfy my appreciation for the man's work. he's the best.

Meh, sounds like an excuse. If it's true, then his manager or studio probably forced him to keep going

@@seemlesslies read it? As in your read a recap for root A? Root is season 2 of the anime so what exactly did you read?

For many years, it was unanimously believed that the mess that is Tokyo Ghoul √A was solely Studio Pierrot's fault. And there were a few reasons why people believed it. Studio Pierrot has a mixed reputation for having produced anime such as Naruto, Boruto, Bleach, Kingdom, and Black Clover. These anime would often be criticised for several reasons such as sub-par animation and visual quality, excessive filler episodes, pacing issues and more. Because of the general media perception that animation studios matter the most when judging anime, it's easy to see why Pierrot is constantly discussed when talking about the Tokyo Ghoul anime. Also, after Tokyo Ghoul √A finished airing, Sui Ishida's drafts of √A were released online and circulated rapidly among the anime community. To everyone's dismay, the drafts were very, very different that what was shown in the anime. Scenes like Kaneki proclaiming that he will kill the One-Eyed King, Touka seeing Rize in Anteiku's basement, and Tatara forcing Kaneki to eat Taguchi did not make it to the anime. Here are the links to the drafts I managed to find: sunset-tower.tumblr.com/post/129424575942/thank-you-so-much-for-you-post-about-the-anime sunset-tower.tumblr.com/post/129418629852/ishidas-root-a-storyboard-drafts-are-so-fun-to sunset-tower.tumblr.com/post/129451544167/how-does-tatara-make-kaneki-to-eat-her-corpse-and This led to the anime-manga community creating the narrative that Pierrot ignored Ishida's drafts of √A when making the anime. One anituber even made a rant video about the drafts, which I think accelerated the narrative even more. However, this cannot be further from the truth as there was an interview with Shuhei Morita (Director of Tokyo Ghoul S1 and S2) in 2018, around the same time as the Tokyo Ghoul :re anime was airing. Link to interview: www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/88fddm/im_shuhei_morita_the_director_of_anime_series/ Before I talk about the interview, I needed to clarify a few things about the nature of √A. When √A was announced after Season 1 aired, it was advertised as a season based on Ishida's original story concept that deviates from the manga. The drafts are proof of this because they showed scenes that were not in the manga. www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-10-11/tokyo-ghoul-2nd-anime-season-video-teases-new-story-by-creator/.79825 The reason why I am saying this is that a major criticism about √A is it not following the manga, whereas it was Ishida himself who wanted √A to deviate from the manga. However, the anime-manga community largely blamed this decision on Pierrot because of the animation studio stigma. So if you are unhappy with the fact that √A deviated from the manga, then blame it on Ishida, not Pierrot, even if you respect him. Back to the interview. Basically, Morita stated that the reason why the anime was different from the drafts is that the producers interfered with the original vision. To understand what he means, we need to talk about the production committee. The majority of the anime-manga community believes that the animation studio is generally responsible for how a work is adapted. This is not the case most of the time, as it's the production committee (manga publishers, merch, TV companies etc.) that decides that. In the case of Tokyo Ghoul √A, here are the main producers: - Marvelous - TC Entertainment - Pierrot Now you are probably thinking: "Pierrot is on the production committee so they should have some responsibility in how the √A story was handled". However, that is not the case. Pierrot is ranked at the bottom of the list so they really have little say in the decision-making; they simply do what other producers ordered them to do. Back to the topic, Morita wanted to follow Ishida's drafts, but the producers' interference prevented Ishida and Morita's vision of √A come to fruition. This could be because the producers find Ishida's original story to be risker than the manga story in that it may not make a lot of money. The result was a mixture of anime-original and manga-canon scenes that didn't really make much sense. My intent with this comment is not to change your opinion on Tokyo Ghoul √A, but rather to bring light to a topic that is severely twisted by the anime-manga community for a very long time.

@@lachlanle7940 Woah, that was an interesting read, thank you

@don't be surprised Oh wow! Thank you for giving full context! Sadly I think I know who that anituber is.......

Pity...

I've heard this forever and always told myself I would read the manga to see if the readers were right. I'm glad gigguk now is modivating me to revisit this series. Now I've heard the same thing about soul eater. I'm hoping the manga also blows my mind away

The anime did give us an amazing soundtrack however. Just wishing they'd redo it this time staying more faithful to the manga but keep the amazing soundtrack.

AoT animation and story telling isn't that great, lol. I'd say TG deserves the Madhouse treatment, but Madhouse only cares about HunterxHunter so they'd prob drop it after 1 season...

You can't beat reading the manga while listening to these bangers

*One of the things the anime had going for it was Yutaka Yamada. But seriously, his compositions are the only things that make this show memorable. His work on Vinland Saga completely outclasses TG too.

Licht und Schatten goes hard

@@nightgard Auferstehung is one of my favorites

for realz! I listen to Glassy Sky so often when I'm sad

@wolao siai why not read it?

@@nekozombie books are for nerds. I’m a man so I watch my media

@@entertainmentinc9735 r/iamverybadass

@@nourdjaoui3214 I’m not wrong thoe

@@entertainmentinc9735 Wow you're such a man to watch the edgified version of a series made for 14 year olds

I think that's the anime curse of trying to fit 300+ chapters of details into 48 episodes. The anime swerved around all the emotion and impact of the story in favor of the fighting (even though tokyo ghoul isn't a battle series). The whole point is the mystery, thriller, character development and emotional impact of the story, which can't be captured well when condensing that content into 48 episodes. Hell season 1 was a good adaptation but that still didn't even touch on what made TG great. Like how Kaneki volunteered to go with Jason to aogiri and enduring torture. Mostly skimmed over to condense the story

"They are two wolves inside of me"

The better version for that average manga it Parasyte

Better read Parasyte instead

@Bully peter scam link fr

@Bazinga thx

The first season is pretty solid even if some details are skipped it was still on track to properly adapot the events of the manga. Then they literally just did whatever the f they wanted dissapointing pretty much everyone.

I feel S1 was good enough but manga the true way to go

@@maineman5757 Ikr, you know it's fuck up when you don't even have season 3 and they skip to Tokyo Ghoul RE. Like wtf? If you're manga reader, you will be hella dissapointed that you won't even watch the anime and if you anime only you will be confused why Kaneki suddenly become investigator.

GLASSY SKYYYYYYYYYYY ABOVEEEEEEEEE

the more we raise hell the more likely they are to redo it like they did with FMA and brother hood

Bro when he said he loved his mom and touched his chin 😭

@@pineapplekun8769 Yeah Kaneki's life is so so sad and bleak even from the start. Someone on reddit literally went panel to panel on all of TG and TG:Re and recorded every single time he lied when he touched his chin and man it's crazy how much I missed.

I wonder if some essence of finality and confusion you describe is present in the anime because the naming is so fucking dumb lol

me with the exact same experience lel

Root A was a disaster i swear.

@@ghoulchan7525 and Ishida Sui made a masterpiece from the aftermath 😂

Wait,what trailer ?

Honestly I didn’t hate Root A but Re holy fuck was that dog shit, root A had some feeling towards it, Re just felt like an entire new universe that didn’t make sense

@@beastyboy101bo ☠️ are you talking abt the re anime or manga? Cuz I can’t speak for the anime as I haven’t seen it, but the manga certainly stays faithful to og, and is a great continuation

True.

lmao fr

If you think Tokyo Ghoul is underrated, you should check out the Ajin Demihuman manga, it's like Tokyo Ghoul, but with more interesting strategy, and is waaaay more unrecognized.

@@s-zz ajin was goated for sure 🙌🙌

@@KyleYousef. its not that you dont understand the hype, its the fact that you don't understand Tokyo Ghoul at all.

Chainsaw is too steril

The best thing about the anime is the ost in general in my opinion. But "Unravel" especially

We cannot talk about Tokyo Ghoul, without mentioning the famous piano arrangement of "unravel" by Animenz, the most influential ani-pianist of all time. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qauBmZidyNTOj6M.html I truly believe that this piano arrangement made a substantial contribution to Tokyo Ghoul's popularity and to the reputation of the ani-piano community. Not only is this the most popular anime piano arrangement of all time (currently sitting at 88M views) but Animenz described it his most difficult so far. The variety of advanced piano techniques, combined with its high faithfulness to the original song was what gave it such a notoriety. It has also become Animenz's signature song that he would play it in every of his live concerts. I would even say that the piano arrangement pushed the limits of what a piano arrangement could be.

As a TK super fan trust me, when you hear the rest of his discography unravel becomes mid lmfao

The root a ending theme fits more than unravel. There is a sort of nuanced beauty to it that's trying to tell the story from both sides

and we shall not speak of the live action movie

I discovered tokyo ghoul by watching the anime first so when i finally got to read the manga i was very positively surprised that there was so much more to it

The anime left out some details but ultimately was bad because the manga was bad.

This, yep you took the words out of my mouth. The 1st season was great, afterwards it was just confusing as hell

Yea I was just talking about how pierrot looks to be doing well with bleach and that they NEED to remake the abomination they've created with re: especially. Whoever/the group who was in charge of deadlines and dates to finish the sequels of tokyo ghoul were stupid idk how these people get these jobs and fail so badly, like changing the route of the story or compressing hundreds of chapters into 12-24 episodes?

So far Choujin X is moving pretty well. I kind of like the more laid back attitude of the series compared to Tokyo Ghoul. Tokyo Ghoul was great for being dark and edgy. Choujin X has its own persona and I am glad Ishida sensei decided to make it different in style compared to TG.

@@jayaniceday3602 I like the fact that Ishida has mire creative control but his new schedule makes waiting for new chapter a pain

@@zemox2534 For me, I actually don't mind. I go enjoy Spy x Family, Monster 8, both on Manga Plus, and when Choujin X comes out, I go happily read that. With this said, once the first real big cliff hanger comes out...I will probably be shouting MOARRRR! :P

Here's the manga PV kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bLt9er2TvK2diWQ.html

yes definitely choujin x is looking good so far and has a LOT of potential

Mee too, that art Is incredibile to me

I love how he mix a watercolor and actual manga style together to create that unique style. The only reason I don't completely hate season two is because of the 12 endings portraying his style.

THIS, Tokyo Ghoul is one of the few manga where the art style completely suits the tone and theme of the story. While I'm sad to admit this, Sui's latest work Choujin X was nowhere near good compared to TG since I feel the artstyle doesn't fits the theme so far. While there are great manga out there without great art, a great art could really improve the depth of the story. TG was one of the rare case where the art and the story was match made in heaven.

@@Username-cs1bi I personally think it's too early to tell, but I do agree that the story is somewhat weak right now in comparison to Tokyo Ghoul, and doesn't exactly fit with the art. But I think Sui Ishida is again, focusing on developing the characters and liking to take his time, and personally, I think he's having more fun writing Choujin X than Tokyo Ghoul, especially with the comedy involved. I just read for what it is, just a fun but can be dark manga, which I think is how Ishida's approaching it.

It was a touching moment for me also. I didn't like Juzou in Tokyo Ghoul at first but he became one of my favorite in Re thanks to his character development.

@lim sowq yep, started going downhill after the big arima fight and the last arc is a trollfest by ishida.

Juuzou is the best boy who deserves the world

I really like hiw much impact Shinohara has in Juuzou. He's great mentor that change a heartless brat into respected team leader. Like this boy doesn't even care at anyone in beginning, but his panel when he sees Shinohara gets injured is really powerful, showing how much now he has someone to care about.

Suzuya was easily my favorite character in the manga. When he was first introduced, I was thought, "Oh, here's an over the top edgy character for some fanservice" but oh boy was I wrong. Through his relationship with Shinohara and eventual leadership role, he proved he was more than just a zany guy with interesting stitches. Truly a worthy successor to be CCG's reaper.

I would not blame the studio for this one. This is more so a case of poor management from the production comittee and executive producers involved.

@@carloscauan7967 to add onto this I believe Root A was also meant to be an alternative take on the second half, with Kaneki making the choice of joining Aogiri Tree. Ishida specifically wanted it to be different from the manga.

​@@benjimoskau8172 I was gonna ask why but if the author insisted they do something different then that makes sense I suspect he wanted to be surprised? That would be a selfish request, but understandable One of the saddest things about being part of entertainment is inevitably getting spoiled unlike the audience

Root A is absolute trash. Boring overall, nothing memorable.

@@nelisezpasce The thing is that it's not just that the author wanted a different story. Author apparently wrote full draft on it which the studio and product team barely managed to adapt. Root A is basically missing big chunks of what the author wanted.

Ok but if the anime was just good in the first place you wouldn't need to read the manga

imo the manga wasn't that good either

since the reason you read it was √A, did you continue on from S1 ending or just decided to read from the start? if the latter, would you say it's worth doing so?

I don't care!!

@@luminescentcore Them's fighting words.

Not to mention he always remains focused on being gentle and protecting those he loves.

@@cortomaltese5206 the "flipping a switch" he had was amazing, the instability of his mind but him trying his best to keep it together while being thorn apart inside

Kaneki's the goat, litterally.

He wasn’t even a loser, he was just a normal guy who wanted p

He was never a weak loser lol

If I'm not misremembering Ishida though that, if he did took a break he wasn't going to go back to writing the Manga that why he kept pushing.

@@alerav4826 that actually sounds about right. I think I remember that being a line in his letter. I haven’t read the letter since the the final chapter released so I don’t know for sure tho

the ending was not fucking good lol

@@malsocio it’s decent Not good but decent

@@malsocio the fucking in the end was good though

Tokyo Ghoul needs a remake ? No, not really. It's not manga accurate, but it's still good. Berserk tho...that needs a remake. Original series, artstyle and animations were awesome, but new one...it sucks and it desperately needs remake (if they made it same as original anime artstyle, then that would be great).

The saviour

We will watch your career with great interest

That's not what happened. Ishida wrote a love letter to the fans when he ended the manga saying he eventually ''fell out of love'' with his work and that's why he rushed it, or else it would be unfinished. Anime studios have nothing to do with manga publishing and publishers, so an anime studio can't push for something that is entirely different from their work.

Ishida deserves a manga route reboot like Brotherhood to do this justice

Right dude!! The fights are underrated!!

And then you read Tokyo ghoul re, and you can't comprehend wtf is going on in the fights anymore :( something changed.

@@GreMLinSLoveCoOkies i dont think thats true for all the fights tho, usually its balanced out with cool art and dynamic poses but yea it can be hard to follow exactly
