Tokyo Ghoul
Oshimeter
Synopsis
A shy college bookworm named Ken Kaneki goes on a date with a beautiful girl, and she tries to eat him. Turns out Tokyo has a ghoul problem: creatures that look exactly like humans but survive by feeding on human flesh. After a freak accident during the attack, Kaneki wakes up from surgery as something caught between both worlds, half-human, half-ghoul. Now he can't eat normal food, one of his eyes has turned ghoul-red, and he's got a hunger he really doesn't want to think about. He ends up at Anteiku, a coffee shop staffed by ghouls who are trying to live quietly among humans, and they help him figure out what he's becoming. But the Commission of Counter Ghoul investigators are out hunting, and the line between monster and human gets blurrier every episode. The whole thing is 12 episodes of dark, psychological body horror wrapped in genuinely solid action sequences. The ghouls fight using kagune, these wild organic weapons that sprout from their bodies, and each one looks different, which keeps the combat interesting. That opening theme, "Unravel" by TK from Ling Tosite Sigure, basically sets the tone for the entire show: beautiful and unhinged at the same time. If you liked Parasyte for its "something alien is inside me now" dread, or if Attack on Titan and Deadman Wonderland hit the right notes for you, this is in that same lane. It's dark, it's violent, and Kaneki's slow transformation is genuinely unsettling to watch.

Obsession with charecters
The one of my best series on Crunchyroll. But all I hate is the fast pacing but still I enjoy it.

Bueno con tokyo ghoul tengo un amor inmenso ya que lo vi hace años y es de mis animes favoritos pero si tiene algunos capítulos y partes muy lentas, respecto al anime siento que le faltaron varias cositas del manga, si pueden leerse el manga, se los super recomiendo
Storia bellissima, peccato l'anime. Da rifare perché merita tantissimo
Tokyo Ghoul is a dark and emotional anime that explores identity, survival, and the struggle between humans and ghouls. Ken Kaneki's transformation from an ordinary student into a conflicted half-ghoul is both compelling and heartbreaking. The series features intense action, memorable characters, and a haunting soundtrack that enhances its atmosphere. While the anime adaptation moves quickly in later seasons, its emotional moments and powerful themes make it a memorable experience. Overall, Tokyo Ghoul is a great watch for fans of dark fantasy and psychological drama.
Anime adaptation scraped some parts of the story which is a terrible thing to do.
It got me startled but i still like it.
Looks good,though i don't know for sure
True masterpiece anime and manga both
The beginning is good but then it devolves into mindless action without much purpose.
It is very good
Oh my! full with twist, It's something I watched without anyone telling me to watch, the main lead was cool, natural, like the expressions of a character who's be in that situation was well executed. Though it had 18+ content not modest. But highly character driven. A cool character NGL.
Love the mature themes here even if people hated the latter seasons. It made sense me tho
The intensity of this show and how it doesn't hold back at all is jaw-dropping. The visuals are haunting and I can't get enough!
First of all, beautiful opening theme. Secondly, the studio did the manga so dirty. Terrible adaptation that has skipped a lot of chapters but Kaneki's accepting himself as a ghoul was beautifully done.
Very good story, character development and fights without restraint, unafraid to be dark, far exceeds expectations, good anime.
A cena do reencontro com a rize
The episode is well crafted in building tension. From Kaneki's ordinary life, events gradually turn dark and frightening until a tragedy occurs that completely changes his fate.
Un gran primer capítulo, te mantiene atrapado durante todo el episodio. Las animaciones de Ghouls son bastantes únicas. La transformación de Kaneki como Ghoul es muy difícil y triste.
