EPISODE REVIEWS

The title is so true, the system and hatred between the two main communities in this series' world is circular and never ending - which is a concept clearly displayed in this episode. The way the world is developed while the series is still characters centered, holy peakk

The reveal with Mado's ring made everything feel cruel and not like the justice she set out to instill. The interchanging scenes between the monologue about the injustice on both Touka and the police investigators side was both cruel and effective in showing the cycle of anger.

Kaneki's realization and epiphany in the rain made so much more sense for his character as someone who is caught between his existence as a ghoul and a human. Neither side sees or emphasizes with the other, and continue killing those from the opposing side without looking deeper.
