So... the show got it's second season. Was it worth it? Totally not. It turned to utter trash (from an already messy adaptation).
S2 further diverts from the actual story it adapts (not that I've read it nor do I want to) but it's all with the supposed consent and input of the author - which is cool.. if it made any sense. They throw in so many characters we're supposed to give a shit only to involve them in things we know jack about. The show does in no way stand on it's own feet. Heck, the MC by this point is even harder to grasp. How great is it to have edgy fights with boring choreography and constant spasm of god awful animation! I'm floored how some people seriously liked the season. The only slightly redeeming thing was the anticlimactic last episode but it's by no means good.
Downgraded my overall rating from a "5" to a "4" (S2 is a 2/10).

Tokyo Ghoul is one hell of a disappointing adaptation and thus fits in perfectly in the season... Who ever did the planning on this failed miserably leaving the anime rather flawed.
Without having read the manga we apparently get like 70+ chapters in just 12 episodes but it isn't just that - the arcs are not in order. As a result the characterizations are suffering and I can't say the story had a good flow. They pretty much picked out the action and went with that. Only in the last episode we got to see some of the inner workings but it's not like that cleared anything up. Just like the manga this week the anime ended on a cliffhanger although that is still better than trying to do an original end. The story seems to have some interesting ideas but with the manga now having no clear outcome either you can't even say "read the manga"...
Production wise the show was alright although suffering from ever present censorship of the gore or even leaving out certain mutilations.
With the uncertain future of TG's story I would not recommend checking it out.

Nice and fitting summary. On myanimelist a user said something similar: it became slice of life-ish in the middle (or rather from ep 2/3 or so on) and that is totally against the actual advertised premise.<br /> The whole first season just looks like an attempt in showing how an honest, young man trying to still live a human live while turning slowly into a badass, ruthless, insane ghoul. Too bad this (actually fine) transition was done in the last episode only.<br /> Liked the final episode, it showed a lot of potential of what could have been done the whole season long but wasn't.<br /> I, too, would disrecommend watching this considering the unclear end of the source material.

Well, the third season is very boring compared to the 1 and 2.

Never read the manga for this, but WOW!! Cannot believe the stuff that goes down in season one. Shocking moments, heart wrenching scenes, and so much ghoulish awesomeness. In love with this anime atm. Why have I not heard of this one before? Glad I happened to come across it.

I liked first and second seasons, you can feel main characters (anteiku's group). Conversely, the third one is boring and confusing (especially the second part), just fighting all the time and too many characters

1st season, cool i like it.
2nd season, ok alright, not that bad...
3rd season, What the f is happening, what am i watching right now? what happened??!
4th season, oh, ok i see.. well, that's pretty boring to be honest.. (also a lot of the supposedly diseased characters came back to life for some reason that was never explained.. omg i have so many questions at this point, but don't really care about the answers )
Very disappointed :/

Keep hoping that the show will get better, but so far it seems to be more confusing and annoying more and more with every episode .... wish it stayed like season 1........ its frustrating

It's pretty sad how they ruined it like this way, a lot of unexplained thing's and like they just wanted to end it, This could be one of most awesome animes ever but the studio really make it really bad at last 2 parts, that's really sad, Such a lost masterpiece

but anyway i recommend anyone to watch first 2 parts, was really great, maybe you can read the original manga after finishing those 2
and once again
shame on the studio
