Tokyo Ghoul √A

Hey Guys,

the first season of ‘Tokyo Ghoul’ got me very fast, but the second season ‘Tokyo Ghoul √A’ is not so convincingly. When i started watching the second season i hadn’t read the Manga yet. So i can’t say if it is better or not as that. But what i can say is that the Anime is going a differnet way than the Manga.

Kaneki

The last season endend with Kaneki on a crossroad. He thinks that he needed to change and do bad things when it is for the rigth reasons.
So he eat Jason, who had tortured him and joins the group Aogiri. This decision is not really explained. It kinda comes out of nowhere. Jason, who also was a member of the Aogiri tortured him and Kaneki accepts not is Ghoul part but Riz from which he has the organs. This is a big differents. So he beginns to eat Jason, but why he came from that to joining the same group is behind me. I am sure that it has something to do with protecting who is important to him. Because if that is not the case it doesn’t get along with the character we already knew.
But we got very, very little scense with him.

Antique

We see alot about Toka and Himori. It is alot talking and very slow. Toka is not one of my favorite but it is alot about the girls living with Kanekis decision. Nishiki is getting also very little screen time.
But i definitly want more of Hide. He seems to know alot more than he let on. For me it is clear that he heart the conversation in the first season from Kaneki and the owner of the Antique. So he knows that Kaneki is a Ghoul. But it seem like i am the only one that seems to see it that way.

Alot of unanswered questions

We got alot new characters and the backstories are mostly really amazing. But i am sad that the old characters fall into the background and we got not enough information about the new persons. So much doesn’t make sense. Why are so many humans now Ghouls? Why would anyone do something like that? What has the whole storyline from the first part of the second season to do with the second part which is emotionally amazing and really good. Also it brings us characters back to the person they were.

Watching or not

Truth be told. If a season 3 will come i will be watching. This season was big let down for me. It is not that apparently the story is different form the Manga. I have no problem with that. My problem is that the decision is not logic and that we don’t get an explaination for it. We got so many new characters so many plotlines that ends nowhere. The last part of the season is emotionally bringing me down. It is final that makes my cry and break down it is for me the niveau of the first season but it doesn’t conacted with the first part of this season for me? Why is Kaneki now going back when we not even know he even started to leave. What was the reason for all the characters we never say again and never get really explained like the twins? Why are they Ghouls when they were human. Who made them Ghouls. Have i missed a few episodes? Because all that doesn’t make any sense for me. So yes i would watch it but it is totally a don’t watch this season…
