r/TokyoGhoul

Disclaimer after finishing season 2 I am going to start the Manga, but it is a shame because the anime is well animated imo and has great voice actors. I started season 3 and I am so lost it does not seem like a continuation from season 2 at all.

The anime shows Hide as a delivery guy one day then a CCG worker in the final battle with no explanation of him joining. Seidou was talking to Hide literally 1-2 eps before the final battle and Hide was still not with the CCG. So the CCG hired Hide and sent him to battle a week later like ?!?

The formal announcement that they know Kenaki is eyepatch is a 20 second newsclip there's no build up or anything to let the viewers know that Kenaki got found out. The only thing is that they looked into an organ transplant accident but at the time they didn't know ghouls could be made. Especially since in an episode AFTER the announcement came out the Owl questioned Juuzou and Shinohara and they were relatively clueless/not believing that it could be done.

Speaking of Hide again why did the CCG not interrogate him? He was Kenaki's best friend and you're expecting me a building of detectives didn't find it odd that around the time Kenaki showed up as eyepatch Hide started working with them and asking prying questions whenever he was in the building....then he gets accepted as a CCG agent just like that.

The anime sets up the fight between Shachi and Kenaki as being this huge sequence but does not give the viewer any back story at all to why Shachi is fighting Kenaki. It set up this fight like it had huge importance when there is zero backstory to it and then we never see Shachi again.

Why do I feel dumb watching the anime? I pay attention to it and still get the 'What is even happening right now?' vibe.

I thought season 1 was pretty good (at least the first half) but towards the end I felt like there was a lot of backstory left out of the Aogiri Tree group, the Anteiku group, and the CCG. With the final battle I had no idea how did they all get there/know to get there? Also season one it didn't properly explain the kagune.

Season 2 it gets even worse with me thinking I missed an important plot point, only to rewind and the plot still does not make sense.

For example why did Sachi fight Kaneki? There was ZERO explanation at all.

I was floored when I found out the same studio that produced Naruto produced Tokyo Ghoul. How does Naruto get 1000 episodes but this anime gets so little that I feel like I am missing basic details to track what is going on and why it is going on.

Edit: Also it never shows how they found out Ken Kenaki was eyepatch!! The CCG just knows and it was on a news broadcast?!

i’m yet to read but i’m planning on reading it tn and i just want to know why people say it’s THEE BEST manga. so if anyone can supply me with any reasons as to why it’s the best, that would be great

I only started watching anime a couple of years ago and one of the first anime’s was Tokyo ghoul. Through time I have realized that I just kinda watched it in the order crunchyroll had and dont remember a lot looking back on it. I’m gonna pick up the manga and read it all then re watch the series again. Here are some of my questions

After researching and kind of getting different awnsers all over I’ve come to find out “Tokyo ghoul Root A” doesn’t follow the events from the manga. Are ANY of the events in Tokyo ghoul root A actually apart of the story in the manga?

Also what are the OVA’s and when do they take place? watched them but don’t remember a lot lol

And is Tokyo ghoul re also apart of the actual story? The anime really fucked everything up for me and this story

Finally for the manga readers do I read both Tokyo ghoul and Tokyo ghoul re or just the original Tokyo ghoul series? From my understanding there’s like 14 original volumes and like 15 of the Tokyo ghoul re
