It loosely adapts plot points from the manga but goes a very different direction with the characters.
Doing this rewatch made me realize just how bad the Tokyo Ghoul Adaptation was. I feel like people give it a free pass because of how much they like the manga, but standing on it's own, the anime is just terrible. Pierrot tried to squeeze far too much content in too short of a season length.
Still can't feel anything for Nobunaga's wanting to avenge his shitty friend. These spiders are naught but a bunch of hypocrites and that's that.
I do wonder if much, much later in the series the more dangerous ones of the bunch get their just desserts and are axed off at some point.
When you wish upon a side of beef, soon will come an end to all your griefTime for a simpler episode after that chaotic opening heist!
Improving as an author, one video at a time.I'm not sure why, but villains who try Avenging the Villain are always the lowest of the low to me. There's just something so contemptible about villainous hypocrisy.
That's right, boys. Mondo cool.It can be. Especially when there's the matter of who made the first aggressive act and so on. Context matters. It's not just something that exists within a void of just avenging someone.

Wait, if Kortopi can sense things around his copies if he's touching the original, does that mean he could see things in this entire forest of decoy buildings if he taps the wall of the real building?
I have a message from another time...
