Tokyo Ghoul got a lot of hype and i wasn't sure if I should have watched it or not since every time something gets a lot of hype it turns out being pretty bad. But Tokyo Ghoul promised and it delivered. I can't say what I wish it had because I had never heard of it before so from what it had I was pleased. There is alot of blood and I mean ALOT of blood. The story was pretty good although I didnt care much about the story of the CCG Investigators so I do wish the story kinda forgot about those or atleast showed less but it covered that issue with the great story. The animation was pretty good, it looked great and had some really good details. The sound was also really good especially the opening. I would sing to it everytime it started ^^. The characters were also really good I did end up enjoying each and every one of them. It also did a good job in making you either really like the characters or really hate them. But not the type of hate that you wish they hadnt made that character, no no no, its the type of hate where if he/she was a real life person you would consider them one of those asshole friends of yours wich you try to avoid. And I feel like each character got enough screen time, although we didnt see much about some characters wich did dissapoint me it tried to focus on the most important ones and it worked.

Overall it was a really good anime and I highly recommend it if you dont mind all the blood. I hope that if there is a second season coming we get to see more of those characters that showed up at the final episodes and got little to almost no screen time.

Story: Hmmm, The story of Tokyo Ghoul is simple. A world of ghouls and humans living together. Then there are the "good" ghouls who just want to live in peace with the humans, n there's the "bad" ghouls who kills n eat them. Then there's the main character who is stuck between the two worlds of humans and ghouls. The idea of him being half-human n half-ghoul is something I love abt him. Just Watching him try to control his ghoul side n going almost insane makes me sympathise with him n its enjoyable to watch.:P

Animation: The animation is good so I have nothing to say about that. But what really bothered me was the censorship parts. Isn't this a gore anime?! So there is suppose to be loads of blood n flesh all around. Yet they censored many parts during the fights, its still ok for me to watch but it just bothered me a bit by having a big black area where the blood should be. I didn't read the manga, but i think it would be better to leave it as it is n just follow the manga.

Sound: Perfect!!!:D

Characters: The charaters are all very enjoyable to watch.

Kaneki: I didnt really like him at first. He's just looks so wimpy n pathetic, but i guess that's just to be expected; i mean he did suddenly got his whole world turned upside down n become a ghoul after all. But still, listening to him whine n scream abt it is just annoying. However, after a few more episodes, i guess i warmed up to him after awhile n even sympathise with him. Oh, n at the end, I fall in Love withh his new look!!So badass n cool!!!I just love his white hair n looks compared to before.

And who could forgot about Touka. I love her personaility n her powers!!Well, at first she was kindda being mean to Kaneki but after she warmed up to him, she started to treat him a lot better.It would be nice if both of them get together.:D

Nishiki Nishio: I LOVE this character so much, though at the start when he's "evil", not so much. But his love for Kimi so just TOO sweet!!!AWWWWW....

Shuu Tsukiyama: I HATE this guy!!Such a pervert!!! But i kept laughing when he starts going into his crazy obession with Kaneki....-_-

There are still many other supporting characters that are also enjoyable to watch but most of them i can't remember their names. Too many characters to remember...:P

Overall: I love this anime!!!Everything is great about it!!Though the only i have to say about it is that it's too short n ends with a cliff-hanger. Just when its getting to the good part, it ends....I hope a season 2 comes out soon...

I got through all 12 episodes.

I loved this anime and if you want to watch anything that can probably set off your imagination on different outcomes or different possibilities each character can have, this is it. It keeps you on the edge of your seat, has a season 2 (Tokyo Ghoul RootA) and it in general one of the best anime I have ever watched. If you like horror, drama, and straight up intense action then this is for you. Just give it a chance.

This story provides a variety of narratives, which I immediatly fell in love with.  Most characters have a chance to explain their backstory and motivations, which adds a fascinating complexity to the story.  The concept that nothing is completely black or white is amazingly depicted.

The plot is filled with drama, thrill, emotion, action, and great art, the fight scenes are amazing.  If you are ready for a ride of feels, shock, hope, colors, and awe, this is the anime for you to watch.

I had to put this anime on hold due to some depressing stuff towards the end of the second season, but I plan on starting it back soon.

If you like animes where every character has a back story or is just really interesting then this is the anime for you because I felt a connection with so many character. I personally think the main character is a jerk and stupid because he managed to make time for his love interest instead of his best friend that was always there for him and the connection between him and his love interest felt weird and rushed, but that's just my opinion and Hide deserved a better friend who didn't flat out abandon him.
