Tokyo Ghoul: "Pinto"

Shuu Tsukiyama is a "ghoul": a creature who eats human flesh, and he likes to enjoy his meals to the fullest. One night, while relishing in the premeditated murder of his dinner, Shuu's much anticipated first bite is disturbed by a sudden flash of light.

The flash turns out to be from the camera of high schooler Chie Hori, who presents Shuu with the perfect picture capturing his true nature; the extremely clear shot of a bloody corpse and an overly excited Shuu threatens to expose his ghoul identity, thus Shuu needs to sort out this situation quickly.

After Shuu discovers that Chie attends the same high school as him and is even in the same class, the reason behind his feelings of obsession changes from self-preservation to morbid curiosity. As he grows closer to the absent-minded and extremely odd photographer, he challenges them both to learn more about each other's conflicting worlds; Shuu promises that Chie will come out of this experience with a photograph superior to the one she already has.

*Some spoilers*

So here we have an interesting little side story from Shuu Tsukiyama's high school days when he met photographer, Chie Hori.

Story:

There isn't much to this story but it was interesting to say the least - it revolves around Tsukiyama meeting this "oddball", Chie Hori, who randomly takes a picture of him feasting on a meal one night; Tsukiyama's immediate response to discovering her was to devour her however he is distracted by her camera flashes as she takes some pictures, then all of a sudden Tsukiyama develops some lima syndrome and decides to "befriend" her instead which was an interesting choice.

As expected, with ... Tsukiyama's brilliant personality, he is extremely popular with the ladies in high school which brings some jealousy among the men however this idea isn't remotely touched upon as Hori immediately cuts into the scene. This story is mainly about Tsukiyama trying to find the reason why he didn't feast upon Hori that night.

Art:

Not the best, but definitely not the worst. It is acceptable to the point where it just flows and you don't immediately notice any flaws.

Sound:

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant - Tsukiyama's excellent choice of vocabulary, exhilarating french accent and orgasmic screams alone make up entirely for the enjoyment of the show.

Character:

We have a good contrast between Tsukiyama's extremely vivid design and Hori's bland/modest yet still interesting "oddball" - the sighs Tsukiyama makes towards Hori conveys so much of a lighthearted feeling in them.

Enjoyment:

Personally I enjoyed this short OVA quite a bit, not much as much as Tokyo Ghoul: JACK, but still on quite a high level. The voice acting of Tsukiyama is just superb in all ways.

If you're a Tokyo Ghoul fan, you definitely need to watch this.

This OVA i my opinion did better than the first. It did the better in the aspect of character development a the same time keeping me, the audience, entertained.

The main character being Shu Tsukiyama, I enjoyed learning more about a character I liked although at the same time he can be the most creepiest character of the entire anime. It explained well enough to understand the feelings of Tsukiyama the ghoul and how we would interact with Chie Hori the girl who mysteriously appeared in his life. He demonstrated that unlike other ghouls he didnt just feed on humans just for the sake of satisfying ... his hunger but instead to taste the best of meals, proving why he is a gourmet.

It also explains well to his relationship with Chie Hori in the manga Tokyo Ghoul:re.

I thoroughly enjoyed how Tsukiyama would react next in this OVA. The OVA was good overall and I enjoyed it much better than the first.

Mixed Feelings

Plot: The little story between Shuu Tsukiyama and Chie Hori turned out to be more captivating than I could have imagined! I confess I loved the development of their relationship! At the same time, the events that took place at the hospital proved so appalling to me that I experienced a drastic disruption in my enjoyment of the anime. Is not that I don't understand the purpose and role of those events, but it was just too much for me 😅! They were not only too graphic, but even the idea itself was horrifying 😖.

Characters: I was definitely impressed by Chie Hori! She really surprised ... me until the very end. The window moment was epic! It was actually what helped me understand her personality which brought me to a blocking contradiction as I experienced both shock and admiration toward her haha! Additionally, her interactions with Tsukiyama were so intriguing!! At the opposite side were the nurse and her old patient. In my perception, both went from disturbing to disgusting, although I must confess that at one point I actually felt agonizing pity for the old man.

Art: Nothing special in particular, except for the sinister scenes from the hospital. I guess the vivid remembrance I was left with should qualify them for a great art since they definitely had the power to shaken me emotionally.

Sound: I honestly don't remember anything about the sound hahaha. It probably did a fair job since I have no memory of being bothered by it, but this only means it was average in my opinion.
