| I thought this season was gonna be uncensored ,but the blurs and shining lights proved me wrong lol this was a great episode though! |
| Great episode, animation was better but that censoring pissed me off. |

| I have no idea what's going on anymore, it's nearly as hard to keep track of than the manga |
 |
| Hmm, dat censor tho. So results: Kuro takes Shiro and runs away from Juuzo. Ayato faints (awesome flashback) then we have Shinohara vs Centipede Kaneki! Kaneki started eating Arata so Amon decides to knock some sense into him. Damn, One-Eyed Owl to the rescue! I like how these things are happening. I wonder where's it going though. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| This ep was so great!! Like, when the ending song started I was like "Nooooooo don't end now!!" lol I loved it! way better than the last ep! It had so many emotions involved and felt like I wanna see more. |
| It's pronounced like Kakuja? I read it like Kakuya in the manga every time. Anyway, the show looks like it's getting back on the track again, |
| The only problem I have with this anime is that I think it's for manga readers only. I've read the manga several times and I understand everything really well but for someone who hasn't read it YET 12 eps it was too short - no time to explain anythig, just random stuff at random time. |
| craziest ghoul lmfao |
 |
| Good Episode. The animation was better but the censor was annoying. |

| This episode was actually done well, and I think S2 is definitely better than S1. It's weird people are complaining and calling it a generic shounen because of the fights.When the first 3 eps (where there was important character introduction, especially CCG) were released everyone desperately wanted to see action sequences.And when there is action people call it 'nonsensical shounen.' Then there are people complaining about plot-holes like Amon beating up Kaneki while Shinohara could not. There's something called a CRC gas which was released. And then how Kaneki got away from Shachi. Eto bloody negotiated with him right at then end of EP4! How could people miss that! Lastly Kaneki's Kakuja. It was clearly shown there were dead ghouls where Kaneki was kicked and in episode 3 Tsukiyama said that cannibalizing ghouls make ghouls stronger. SO, most of the complaints are unnecessary and not even half the series has been released. Trash it all you want when it ends. Not before it. Also I remember, FMAB's first 12-13 episodes were atrociously done. So enjoy the show and wait for the moments of TG.(I hope they will do well with Ishda around) |
| Oh my Gawd! This Episode was super epic. I loved Kaneki Centipede Mode. The Fight was CRAZY. Holy Crap. I don't know what's going to happen to kaneki now.... I really want to know |

| Good episode I guess. Highlight was Centipede ofc. Action was fun and thankfully the Animation wasn't as horrid as last week. But, the censors made no sense at all. .-. |

Last season the biggest complaint was the lack of character development, the pacing and the inconsistencies but now when this season is covering up those issues they brush it aside with dumb excuses by calling it "boring" or "I don't know what's happening". |
Zee530 said: I still have absolutely no idea what's going on :( Same here. I know that there is probably going to be a huge reveal in the end of the season, but it's still irritating. |
| The censoring annoyed me so much....pointless and unnecessary. But the ep in general was so good!!! |
 |
| Whoa i did not notice that it was Kaneki until the end... I could not recognise him D: also him being so crazy and absent was probably to blame. I hope we see him go crazy on that Ghoul he was fighting against, probably another reason I thought it was someone else. With that aside, the damn censoring... blurring the character rather than white light is preferable though. |
| Kaneki is losing his shit, his choices don't even seem to make sense at this point. |

Yes, the MAL community is known for being entitled whiners; but it can also be due to the fact that people have different tastes and may find certain things boring or hard to understand whilst others find them, on the other hand, interesting and simple to understand. This adaptation ain't a masterpiece, that's for certain. |
| Yoooo censorship? Kaneki and Ayato are so precious though. The feelings this ep ;_; |

Well at the moment for anime-only viewers it is a little hard to understand what was going on, especially when centipede kaneki was first revealed. I do feel though that they will make sense of everything in a later episode (probably next episode). The majority of anime-only viewers are saying it so you need to try and understand it more from their perspective, instead of making out this season is superb, because so far its mediocre. But im trying not to judge it myself at the moment as it has 7 more episodes for things to get explained and to reach a satisfying conclusion. |

| 5/5 for kakuja's kaneki. |

It was clearly shown there were dead ghouls where Kaneki was kicked and in episode 3 Tsukiyama said that cannibalizing ghouls make ghouls stronger. I actually really enjoyed the first three episodes. I liked the slower pacing and the animation was undeniably better than the animation for episodes 4 and 5. I enjoy good action sequences too but it just seems like the animation budget was cut in half for the last few episodes (which is a real shame because those episodes could have been so good). The story is fine so far. I think a lot of people who have read the manga get hung up on how much better the manga's story apparently is (I say apparently because I haven't read it so I don't really know). |
| am I the only one hating Kaneki in Centipede Mode? |
| My Anime List | |
| ^ probably yes :DD Well after I told a friend of mine earlier that I have been kind of disappointed last week, I gotta say this week was waaaaaaaay better than episode 4. tbh I have no idea what's with the centipede-thing, but I dig it! The madness & craziness, it's baaack haha pretty cool episode in my opinion, screw the censorship tough -___- 9 / 10 (10 after the DVD release :p) |
| The animation was absolutely superb. The fight was actually pretty good, but I think that some other lines from the manga could be used as well. I believe the fight was made to be more intense and suspenseful, whereas in this one, Kaneki's lines were very few and the centipede ''psycho'' mode didn't make the necessary impression. But that's up to everyone's preference, after all these fight scenes are pretty hard to animate and interpret imo. What I have to say is, the anime seems pretty blurry to me. If I hadn't read the manga to know some characters and events, I don't know if I could keep up with what's going on. Tokyo Ghoul's events and info are quite a few, after all. So maybe after this episode, it's safe to assume that the main events are still there but the rest is modified..? Maybe the ending will be the same, just with a whole different route and without the raid of the lab. HandsomeMan said: Wow, never have I seen an anime where I felt sorry for pretty much every character. Lol that's the definition of Kaneki Ken. |
| This was probably my favorite episode of the new series so far. The fight scenes were really well done (excepting the really irritating censorship), and the sound seemed spot on. Also, I don't know why, but I really liked Akira's reacting to Owl. The animation there was sweet. The scene with Amon and Kaneki was fantastic. [spoiler] I'm really hoping that the two of them will have more encounters than in the manga series, because I was so upset at how that ended with nothing even really happening--although I guess I have to admit that it was realistic that way. [spoiler] |
Ahh yes the censoring is back  Good stuff happened in this show. A lot of development but I just can't ignore this. |
 |
| Good animation, the centipede was so fast. And damn that Owl, shame that they ended this differently than in the manga... |
| Fucking amazing |
 |
| Am I the only one that doesn't get how people don't understand what's going on? I mean, they broke into a prison to break people out. Is it that hard? |

You have a point there. We have no idea why Kaneki is doing what he is doing. However, remember that scene in the first episode with Eto? I have a feeling that a conversation took place, we just couldn't hear it. Eto probably told Kaneki something like if he works with them, Anteiku would be spared or something to that effect. He very much showed in ep 4 he cares about anteiku still. If people question his motives then fine. But he said he needs to get stronger for them which he has. What other character motives do we need? I mean, we have 7 more episodes for things to happen and these past ones have had lots of great character interactions. |
| Definitely more enjoyable than last week's episode, and I feel like the animation was a bit better this week, as well. |
