How is it that I liked TG so much better than Titan tonight?

That episode did everything it needed to, and it was so beautiful.

Normally, when the wimpy protagonist starts stepping up, it's a really cool moment...not so much here.

One hell of a season finale, am I right? grin [awesome]

Sad it all goes downhill in season 2. sad

Are we starting it next week?

[up] Cause he's literally lost his mind & adopted the philosophy of violent psychopaths right?

This fight alone makes the whole series for me. The long buildup to it since the first episode just made it that much more perfectly tragic.

One of the most fascinating things about it is the way Kaneki's voice changes from sobbing and high-pitched to deadly cold when he says "Anyone who tries to take them from me will get no mercy." Austin Tindle should change his name to Awesome Tindle.

I love this episode so much. [awesome]

Like.

Augh.

I'm reminded of Crona from Soul Eater. Kaneki didn't deserve any of what's happened to him.

It's a shame Tokyo Ghoul never got a second season, it seemed like things were really getting interesting. Oh well!

But seriously though, manga readers, how far into the manga did Season One go?

What's wrong with season 2? Does it lose animation quality, or does the story go foul?

[up] Both thought the latter more.

[up][up] Around 70 chapters I believe though a good amount of stuff got cut out.

Season 1 condensed 70-something chapters into 13 episodes. As you can imagine, they trimmed things down greatly.

#38543: Jun 24th 2017 at 10:35:37 PM

From what I hear, I'm guessing the problem with season 2 is similar to the problems with Darker Than Black's season 2.

Story and character quality and generally just not being the same anymore.

Its even worse that the author provided tons of drafts they could have used for a great season but they completely ignored him & fucked up.

Also the director is a disrespectful twat towards Tsukiyama.

Doesn't the second season deviate heavily from the manga?

Its like Stuido Pierrot were trying to avoid a Naruto by adding filler, but they ended up trimming too much.

Then they made Root A, and we'll be seeing it starting next week, and, well....

I'm not looking forward to season two. sad

Good thing it's not canon.

Is there a specific trope for when an adaptation diverges from the source material and takes a nosedive in quality? I'm remembering a bunch of different tropes, but I feel like I'm not narrowing it down.

Also the director is a disrespectful twat towards Tsukiyama.

Now this sounds juicy. Do you have specifics?
