Details : 

Tokyo has become a cruel and merciless city a place where vicious creatures called “ghouls” exist alongside humans. The citizens of this once great metropolis live in constant fear of these bloodthirsty savages and their thirst for human flesh. However, the greatest threat these ghouls pose is their dangerous ability to masquerade as humans and blend in with society.

Based on the best selling supernatural horror manga by Sui Ishida, Tokyo Ghoul follows Ken Kaneki, a shy, bookish college student, who is instantly drawn to Rize Kamishiro, an avid reader like himself. However, Rize is not exactly who she seems, and this unfortunate meeting pushes Kaneki into the dark depths of the ghouls' inhuman world. In a twist of fate, Kaneki is saved by the enigmatic waitress Touka Kirishima, and thus begins his new, secret life as a half-ghoul/half-human who must find a way to integrate into both societies.


Reviews : 

Tokyo Ghoul is a dark action supernatural manga adaptation of the same name. It was one of the more hyped anime for the 2014 Summer season, due to the success of the manga and the proposed themes. It is an another take on the survival sub genre, one that is really popular nowadays in the West, however fails to have a clear direction of where it wants to go with it.

Tokyo Ghoul can be summed up using the same three points that just about every other overhyped adaptation of an unfinished manga series ends up falling under:

1. Incomplete (ends dissatisfyingly with almost nothing resolved)
2. Undeveloped characters (because they were written to have nearly 100x the screen/page time as they ended up having)
3. Mediocre plot (because it was written to be nearly 100x as long)

In other words, Tokyo Ghoul is a commercial for its manga. Watching it as an anime is almost entirely devoid of purpose (and no, I haven’t read the manga).

The plot is pretty basic and simple but the premise looks really promising and you expect it would deliver a thrilling experience on what it takes to be a ghoul and how to survive in the cruel world. And that's where it ends. Soon enough it turns out to be a ghoul gang turf beef anime where the "good" and the "bad" ghouls fight each other for territory while the "police", the doves, try to eliminate them, and it starts playing out as a shonen.

You will love this show if you like:
1. Good action sequences with superpowers
2. Blood and gore + screaming
3. Emotional scenes that make you cry T.T

4. Cute tsundere main female protagonist :3

Those that keep comparing the anime to the manga need to seriously really think things. Manga is manga and anime is anime so what if he anime isn't to the high standards of its manga counterpart doesn't mean you have to ruin it for others.
Some may miss out plot lines but that's what OVA's are for etc etc even still I like this anime is it as good as the manga no but that's my preference I wouldn't call this anime a disgrace though so yeah good anime loved it
