| I liked it I guess, not much action in this episode. Loved the song at the end though |
| Hi there |
| Hide looks like ash ketchup, if only this show was about pokemon |
 |
| Akira is introduced, and she loses no time and immediately owns poor Amon. Oh, but never fear... Amon will get into some interesting situations with her down the road (if they even animate up to that point). Arima taking those quinques and engaging Owl with a whatever face was priceless. He's also too badass for meetings, the hell's info going to do him good anyway? Extreme absence of Kaneki, but not everyday is Christmas. Looks like he's playing the evil guy now, but it seems his compassion is still intact, since he let that human/ghoul live. Yoriko is the ultimate shipper, lmao. Little does she know Kaneki x Touka never happens in the manga. That song towards the end was awesome. Lol at how they pretty much revealed Yoshimura was the Owl. Also, those were some fine lips at the end. Overall a pretty good episode, despite the lack of action and Kaneki. Hinami continues to be adorable. 4/5 |

| Another nice episode. Yoriko and Touka's conversations are always fun. Keep it up, square root of A-chan~. |

| It was good to see the point of view of the others, while Aogiri was starting to take action. Eto... she was a girl? I seriously don't remember ever having seeing her on the manga o.O |
Kvothe51 said: I recently started reading the manga (I'm at chapter 20) and, so far, I prefer the anime in every way. The first few chapters had a lot of clunky exposition, and the art is shockingly bad at times— at least, in comparison to what I was expecting. Some of the ghouls' facial expressions are almost comical.Blaming Pierrot for things has kind of become a circlejerk at this point. Although they definitely did mess up the first season. |

| The first 2/3rds were fairly uninteresting. Many new characters. |
 |
| Akira talking about all the time she was saving by not talking so much gave me a good laugh and Nishio being a dork and wanting to take a break.Touka being sad over kaneki's absence though :(( great episode overall [lets just pretend uta and co. weren't there] |
 |
| The Anteiku looks well since they lost of Kaneki-kun to Aogiri group. Just Touka stills worry about him... The ending is better than the OP. Well is my opinion ;) |

I personally didn't have a problem with the art, and it gradually improves. I think most people are mad about Pierrot rushing the first season and not explaining certain things, such as the different types of Kagune and RC levels. |

| Why no Eto nudes? |
 |
| Is the mummy girl, Owl? If so, is she the one that was the big monster in ep 1? |
| This is so much better than the first season. I'm glad they took an alternate route. |
| That was nice :) Etooo <3 |
 |
| Eto was really HOT in the manga and I am sure that she will be even HOTTER (notice the caps, lol) in the anime. Those lips tho! hnnnnngg! |
 |
| Arima hype |
 |
| The Aogiri ED illustrations are gonna be insane next week. |

Well, that's definitely a first I've heard, considering how rushed the anime is. Keep reading, it gets better. kurcio said: Is the mummy girl, Owl? If so, is she the one that was the big monster in ep 1? No. That wasn't her. I don't know if it's a good idea to tell you who it is cause it's slightly spoiler-ish - I'm not sure if they made it as obvious in the first ep as they did in the manga. .-.

xsilicon9 said: Too much filler. I wanted to see Kaneki fighting. yeah fuck the story |
 |
| I understand that the anime has to build it's self up and show new characters and such, but agggh. Can't wait to get into meat of the anime. Want to see some fights scenes and such haa. Either way we'll see how the anime goes. |
| Ughhh I hate to be that one person who points it out, but. Kaneki is just FREAKING GETTING hotter as every episode pasts by. Like what is this even. How did I just notice the perfection and beauty of the black outfit he wears and how it contrasts with his hair. THE LEATHER. That mask. Those nails. |

| This episode was ok. I mean they seem to have rushed it Like there is not alot of animation put into this. Cant wait too get more into Kaneki kicking ass with Aogiri. |
| Is the coffee shop owner I feel like there's more to him than meets the eye. |

| It's been very vague this season so far. It is like it is two totally different anime going on at one time, and they do not seem to fit well with last season. I hope they do not end up destroying this show artistically. Everything just seemed to fit together so much more in the story line before. Dare I say... It is like the producers of TG are trying to drag out a story line. I've seen this type of thing many times over the last 30 years and it always destroys the series. They simply try to take one season of information and stretch it over 2 seasons. And this story's flexibility is not infinite, and if stretched too much, could snap. I know we are only upon the 2nd episode.... but am I the only one feeling.... well, unfulfilled? (Yeah... that was a pretty lame pun, sorry. lol) |

| Another good episode, glad it's still incorporating some stuff from the manga. And Eto's lips at the end really said it all. Can't wait to see more of her and hopefully some more Kaneki kick ass adventures. |

| I freakin' love the OST. Nothing much happened this episode, besides the fact that Mado's daughter got introduced. |
 |
| Meh, still a bit bitter that it's different from the manga, but it's pretty safe to say that it'll end the same way, just he's in Aogiri instead of creating his own team... |
yahzeeJan 15, 2015 7:13 PM
| That Eto at the end... feels like fan service for us manga readers Really liked the last few minutes. The whole Anteiku together happy, while Kaneki is going on missions Touka's friend ships her with Kaneki xD |
 |
| I just need to know what that OST just before the credit was! |
| Painfully boring. I'm hating that they're jumping from canon to new plot all the time. You do a good adaptation from the manga or a whole original story, not both at the same time. It's annoying. |
| Studio Pierrot and Ishida folks: - cuts out most hyped up Kaneki x Ayato scene, one of the most acclaimed fights in the entire manga. - leaves the Mado x Akira interactions almost word for word from the manga. *slow clap* That aside, they still made Takizawa as annoying and hate-able as he was in the manga, so I guess they did something right. They also decided that Arima had blue hair when he was younger, and they decided to give Eto brown hair since she had illustrations with both a brown and blonde look. The final results were acceptable so that's good. Tres_Bandidas said: I wonder if Akira is a ghoul herself? She's not. |
| Nice episode. More CCG perspective, some Anteiku parts and last but not least our Kaneki-kun in Aogiri. BTW the next episode title is "Hangman". ISHIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Pyr0 said: Barrian14 said: How did you ever get through the first season? I think these first two episodes alone have been more interesting than the first 10 episodes in the first season.I'm not enjoying this season so far. I think that the pacing is off and there is a lot of fat to be trimmed. There are boring being introduced left right and centre and the show hasn't given me a reason to be interested yet. Lol, Touka eating lunch with her friend. Investigators talking about ghouls. = more interesting than 10 episodes of season 1. Do you hear yourself talk? |
| Fuck that was too good! Eto!! Arima!!! Akira!!!! Glad there's still some content from the manga being used here, didn't expect to see that Owl fight from 10 years ago, plus they're filling some info left out from S1, nice! 6/5 |

| Zzzzzzz, waiting for next episode. |
| A solid episode. From the looks of it, it seems season 2 will be better than season 1 |
| Pretty boring episode and why is the animation quality so appalling for a popular series that's only 12 episodes. I like the first episode and thought maybe this season will be better, this second one does not fill me with much hope. |

| That Amon derp face when he was inviting Akira though.. |

| Ishida-sensei makes this season much better. The OST & the ED was great. People who said this eps was boring should think more carefully. This is not boring, It's called CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. |
| I think i'll like this route the best, seems pretty interesting :) However it feels a bit strange since it's not following the manga, but as Ushida-sensei is the one writting it it's ok for me. |

Investigators talking about ghouls. = more interesting than 10 episodes of season 1. Do you hear yourself talk? Background of Mado + Owl given, intriguing new character in the form of Mado's daughter, and a suspenseful ending. What the fuck do you want? A completely out of place fight? Besides the conversation with Touka and her friend signifies her feelings for Kaneki and shows that she hasn't lost her way as a ghoul trying to be human (At least as of now). Talk between the investigators was a tension reliever and presented a lot of key information for anime only watchers. hints of kaneki's motives are shown. Pacing is far more impressive than first season. But no, I guess this episode can be condensed into to two shitty conversations because studio pierrot does nothing right hurr |
