Ken Kaneki is a shy young man who lives an ordimary college life.Due to an unexpected turn of events his fate is bound to change overnight.From the lonely world of books is thrown into the mysterious world of "ghouls".At first he is in denial and cannot accept his "nature" believing he is still a human, but hunger now blinds him.It is only after he meets Touka that he realises life goes on. Touka is young ghoul in protection of a group of less violent ghouls who try to live well with humans.Ken gradually becomes a member.Joy and tragedies he experience as a ghoul will grow ... him up and direct him to abandon them.

I was amazed by the connection of colours with the mood of Ken and the other characters(sad,angry--->rain, happy,enjoyment--->sunny day).Also the presence of art diversity in characters was clear(face, clothes,hair) as well as details in the background (cars, traffic lights,buildings).Battles were okay(i've seen better ones) but thats fair because i think Tokyo ghoul focuses more on Ken's drama than ghoul action sequences.

Honestly,i didnt like the opening theme.The ending is catchy thought.I was not that impressed with the sound i must say.

Ken's dramatic character evolutes well(happy,shy,introverted to lonely,sad,angry and backwards).There is a gap on drawing the other "main" characters like Amon,Touka,Hinami but i believe is part of focusing more on Ken.

I really enjoyed watching Tokyo Ghoul and i recommend it to all anime lovers especially those who prefer the plot and drama with a spice of mystery and action.
