Tokyo Ghoul √A
Oshimeter
Synopsis
After spending the entire first season trying to hold onto his humanity as a half-ghoul, Ken Kaneki finally broke: tortured until something inside him shattered. By the end, he got tortured until something in him broke. Now, in Tokyo Ghoul √A, he walks straight into Aogiri Tree, the same violent ghoul organization that kidnapped him, and his friends at Anteiku have no idea why. That's basically where this 12-episode second season picks you up and doesn't let go. The whole thing is built around this tension of not really knowing what Kaneki is thinking anymore. He's quieter, more detached, and way more dangerous. Meanwhile, the CCG, Tokyo's anti-ghoul task force, is ramping up operations, and the ghouls at Anteiku are caught in the middle trying to live normal lives in a city that wants them dead. The lines between who's a monster and who isn't get real blurry, real fast. Yutaka Yamada's soundtrack does a lot of heavy lifting here, it gives the whole series this melancholic, atmospheric weight that sticks with you after episodes end. The kagune fight sequences are brutal and visually distinct, with each ghoul wielding their own predatory organ in wildly different ways. If you liked Parasyte: The Maxim or Ajin: Demi-Human; that same vibe of a person losing grip on what makes them human while the world hunts them down, this hits similar notes. Deadman Wonderland fans will feel at home with the gore and psychological edge too. It's dark, it's heavy, and it earns both.

The filler eps not necessary
This is a visually and emotionally devastating finale. The main emotional core of this episode is Hide’s tragic death; this heartbreaking loss teaches us that true acceptance requires vulnerability rather than isolation. Kaneki pushed everyone away so he could gain the power to protect them, but this same isolation prevented him from protecting the one person he cared about the most, which is his friend Hide. The soundtrack also goes well with the soul-crushing finale.
A strong episode. Studio Pierrot focuses on key lore mysteries while keeping a constant sense of suspense, making it feel like something bad is coming. Despite no action, the pacing stays engaging, especially if you enjoy character backstories.
The finale feels suitable for the anime plot and everything that happened in a "blitz" pacing fashion. It really pulled off the bittersweet feeling of loss within all the main characters, and the lack of meaning in the "justice" being carried out between humans and ghouls.
What the hay, Hide didn't even play a significant role in the story and it feels like they kept him around to kill him off for a grand finale. What the episode did with Touka was also very cruel 🙁🙁 She ran just to see her home be destroyed and allat
Kaneki and Hide's talk in the beginning was something I didn't know I needed to see, it felt so fitting that I was shocked I didn't think about that earlier. The constant flashbacks during their talk made the first season feel so long ago
My goats are fighting each other :( I was looking forward to Kaneki and Amon's confrontation, and the episode truly did not disappoint in its execution. It feels like both sides don't want to and don't understand why they fight each other, but still follow the notions of battle..
Juuzou's helplessness made me realize how fearsome ghouls come off to humans as a race, especially since we fear what we don't understand. The second owl takes a very monstrous form which looms over him, and several ghouls which terrorize and destroy the city. Such a hard watch.
It was a little hard to empathize, but the opening scene with Juuzou was horrible, and there's suddenly a new ghoul?? I thought I would be more on the Anteiku group's side, but I don't know anymore everything is everywhere 😢
SHIT WHY. BRO i hate the police ppl so much, why does the show even bother trying to humanize them if they're gonna be dipshits anyways this whole thing is bull 😡
I wish I could, but again, no build or character development with the Anteiku workers who were defeated; It feels like a recurring issue with this series. Kaneki's arrival was the only part I found intriguing tbh, the owl and anteiku members did nothing to deserve this 🙁🙁🙁🙁
Irima and Koma's defeat felt so unfair, the CCG fought them thinking they were Aogiri?? Everything is so convoluted, it feels like it's being jammed into the episode at a relentless pace. Irima's battle especially, which highlighted the cruelty of the authorities.
