His only character trait is that he cares about his friends and his current lifestyle. Haise has to be the most boring main character I've seen all season, maybe all year. This is actually the worst part of the show. The sound does almost nothing to improve this adaptation. All the background music is mediocre and totally forgettable. The ending is also fine but kind of weird and not worth adding to any kind of playlist. The opening is good but not nearly as good as the original. Not one fight sequence is cool or impressive and the art can also be incredibly inconsistent at times.Īlso a big step down. It's production budget is likely close to half of the original and it shows. A show that could be praised for it's stellar animation and dark edgy art has fallen so so low.
The drop in animation quality is actually both astounding and depressing. They're all gone and replaced with Haise's boring crew of half ghoul investigators and a bunch of ghouls who's most interesting and human trait is that they don't want to die. And no more ghouls that are worth caring about.
Kaneki and friends constantly tried to balance peace and protecting their friends and that's part of what made the show great. It presented an incredibly difficult and interesting conflict where ghouls and humans desperately want peace but simply cannot coexist. One thing I found so great about the original is that the man-eating ghouls whoĬouldn't possibly seen as good people were constantly and effectively humanized through the folks at Anteiku. Not a single fight is cool, interesting, or well animated, and not a single character is as good as a character from season one. Basically it's just 12 episodes of Haise and his new buddies fighting ghouls. I'm not sure that a single interesting thing has happened in 12 episodes. Tokyo Ghoul except everything that was good is bad.Īs a fan of the first two seasons I can't see this season as anything other than a massive failure and disappointment.
