I should finish Tokyo Ghoul sometime. I'm still in the first part of the series.

I feel like this show is going to be even more depressing and edgier than Akame ga Kill! when it comes to morality.

Am I getting the wrong vibes here, or...?

One of 'em is a beast, that's for sure...

@X 2 X: TBH, judging from the first few volumes of the manga, Tokyo Ghoul is a heckuva lot smarter than Akame ga Kill!

The main character definitely gets more interesting & cooler than Tatsumi

It also doesn't kill off most of the male characters on the protag's side.

[up][up][up]It's bloody and tragic, but not anywhere near as cynical as Akame. It's also way more intelligent and has far more things to say.

@X 2 X When it comes to the second season, you're right on the goddamn money. For the first season, it doesn't go nearly that far into the grimderp abyss.

Kaneki tries very hard to hold onto his morality. Hopefully, the anime will show that.

"Grimderp". I may have to add that to my vocabulary, because it fits certain things so well.

@X 2 X: It certaintly does edge better than Akame ga Kill dead, and there's some actual grey morality to boot in the handful of episodes I've seen.

Run, Kaneki! Run, damn it!

[up] To be fair, the promos also spoiled that scene. tongue

Poor guy. Thinks the girl he likes reciprocates, but nope! Just wants his blood.

For the record, there's a lot of censorship from the manga.

Is this going to be a shit on Akame ga Kill day lol.

also....I haven't gotten very far into the manga, but is there a reason why these doctors used organs from Rize and put them into Kaneki to save his life? Like...that always stood out.

[up][up] Monica Rial definitely has some pipes on her. It's easy to forget when you listen to some of her other roles.

[up] Isn't it obvious?

Also fun fact, Kaneki is in college, not high-school. This is seinen, not shonen so the protags are naturally older.
