Eh I'm not feeling it.

Prolly because of how out of focus Kaneki has been.

What is Hinami doing?

How many episodes are left of Tokyo Ghoul again?

You know, as far as disappointing second seasons to great shows go, I've seen a lot worse.

Maybe I'm spared from disappointment in this season because I've only read sporadic chapters of the manga.

[up]Well sure, when you compare things to Darker Than Black Season 2, almost anything will be not bad by comparison.

Its worse cause the manga writer Ishida wrote a ton of drafts that the anime team can use & they completely ignored him.

One of which had stuff like Tatara (white-haired guy with the red mask) forcing Kaneki to eat a human & basically seeing more of Kaneki doing Aogiri stuff in depth.

Its rude shit like that which very much sours my opinion.

DTB season 2... That brings back memories. None of them pleasant.

That show is one of 3 stories that created a very specific writing rule of mine. Don't turn your likable protagonist into a drunk, dirty asshole.

[up]x6: DTB Season 2 is like if we got a season of Batman the Animated Series where Batman didn't actually don the cowl until ten episodes in and in the meantime he's an abusive dick.

@Lennik And we got some weird pedo we're supposed to sympathize with. And...just all kinds of other problematic stuff. And Batman wasn't the protagonist half the time.

Made it just in time! (For HXH, I mean. Had to wade through the comments first, though.)

I see I missed the introduction of Benimaru Polnareff and more Jotaro dickishness. I know Beni's based on Polnareff, let me have this.

So if I ever start watching DTB, just stick to the first season & that's it?

God why do shows have lolicons?

Why can't the Japanese just learn those guys ain't cool?

I envy your ability to forget. I wish I could. The first season of Darker Than Black is a fave of mine and I watched the second as it aired, after getting hyped a sequel was coming out at all. Then we got...that.

@Slim Yes. Season 1 is entirely worth the watch. It has a unique story structure too, with every episode being 2 partners beyond the finale. They tend to do Part 1 from the perspective of the spotlight character while the protagonist interacting with somehow or involved then Part 2 reveals what covert mission he's working on. Plus overarching plot.

It doesn't help that the first season was almost perfect. It was like a flawless Batman series without even being a Batman series.

And Yoko Kanno did the music. Like you can't even go wrong.

@ X 2 X: So! Crusaders get on plane. Stand user attacks, kills pilots. Crusaders kill the Stand user. Joseph emergency-lands the plane near Hong Kong. Can't use public transport anymore. Too risky. Crusaders get lunch in Honk Kong restaurant. Polnareff attacks. "Walk Like an Egyptian."

I didn't pay attention to Tokyo Ghoul, so I can't recap that.

I think season 1 is the show that sold me on how important perspective is for a story.
