In some ways, maybe censoring it makes it worse?

[up][up][up][up] Huh no wonder he sounds familiar.

For one thing it was made more explicit in the manga that Jason put the centipede inside his ear to eat out his brain.

The imagination can be a terrible thing.

Kaneki must rank up there with Ganta for nice guys who did nothing wrong but suffer a great deal. sad

That poor motorcycle. sad

The torture stuff is easily my least favorite part of the manga. It feels way too gratuitous.

[up][up][up] I disagree, it made for powerful scenes & really cemented Kaneki's transformation as a result of Jason's torture.

Next episode is seriously gonna be wicked.

Oh God, I think this season is almost over, does that mean we're going to get hit with Season 2 of Tokyo Ghoul? I'm not looking forward to that.

@Beary Yes. Just, yes.

[up] Indeed.

Even if this season ends on a major sequel hook I think it be worth not airing season 2 to maintain quality control.

Did...

Did Kurapika put a Contract on Hisoka, to kill him if he blabs to the Troupe?

At the risk of being Left Hanging, I am not looking forward to Root A from all the negative reception it got, so I would not be too remiss if Toonami skipped it.

Can someone give me a rundown of why Root A has such a bad rep?

[up][up] Now that you say that, that does seem to be the implication, doesn't it?

As creepy as Hisoka is, it's immensely satisfying that Hisoka is playing the Spiders for fools.

I hope they don't air season 2. I haven't heard good things.

Kaneki's torture is anything but gratuitous. It's the catalyst for his tragic transformation into a badass, which, unlike a Shonen series, is not played for awesomeness. His transformation is supposed to be really sad and depressing for the fact that his life has been completely, utterly ruined by the same circumstances that make him so powerful. He doesn't make the transformation through hard work and determination, but through horrible suffering.

As much of a STRANGER DANGER Hisoka is, at least he's working over the Spiders nicely.

I believe Jason confirmed on Twitter that both seasons of TG will air. We're in for the long haul I'm afraid.
