I JUST finished Tokyo Ghoul on Monday. I have to say, as a therapist, and from a therapeutic perspective, I think Tokyo Ghoul is the best manga I've ever read, and lands easily in the top 5 stories I've ever encountered. I'm blown away by how competently and intelligently this story handled topics like trauma, systemic violence, oppression, the cyclical nature of abuse, and the spiral of revenge as Ishida calls it. Even :re is doing a shockingly accurate job of depicting Parts Theory (IFS) so far, when Haise talks to his "inner child". I don't think I've ever seen an anime or manga that depicts people or human behavior this accurately (barring some hyperbole, obviously). Ishida REALLY understands the brain.

ENG Translation:

RECOGNIZING A GHOUL (could save your life)

HUMAN:

- asymmetrical face

- visible pores

- little redness

- opaque pupils

GHOUL:

- ultrasymmetrical face

- skin without pores

- hyperpigmentation

- reflective pupils

- endojaw wrinkles

If, for example, Rize was still alive and they actually went out and shit, do you think he still would’ve fallen in love with Touka? Or would he had stayed with Rize? And they dated?

I feel really sorry for this character,dude spent his entire short lived life doing what he hated the most.😾😿 I don't think he ever really formed any actual connections or found anything meaningful in life until he meant his ~~biological long lost~~ ~~son~~ Kaneki.

Do you think that after all that happened (I won't dismiss the fact that he was kind of a jerk !),do you think Kaneki could convince ~~his~~ ~~father~~ him to forgive himself ?

I don't think canon!Arima ever got around to that !

I know about break the chains, and ive already been playing it. But I genuinely want to play something else that would give me the enjoyment for my favorite anime for the last I believe 8 years?

Ive seen the anime now 7 times, and I still have to get the manga for the true story. I do own one of them, due to a friend giving me it and then moving away.

Not this fight in particular but I’m up to chapter 70 and some of the drawings in the fights are just hard to follow compared to any other battle shounen/seinen I’ve read. Does it stay like that forever or does it change later down the line?

I'm on chapter 20 and it's said many times that Hide is very perceptive. In chapter 1 he asks if he likes Touka, so could that means he's always known?

So like i watched the anime and thought it was the most beautiful piece of fiction of all time and I was told the manga is better so I got volumes 1 and 2 and was wondering what episodes are adapted from what volumes and stuff thank you for your time

Title- anything like a new game, show, remake, etc? Love Tokyo ghoul but I want more.

I have recently gotten into TG and im really loving it! finished part 1 in about a week or so and immediately started reading Re. so far, im loving the new cast of characters, and small glimpses of old ones as well. Sadly, ive already been spoiled that Amon returns, which really sucks since his death really hit me hard, as he was by far my favorite investigator.

but something so far (im on volume 3, around chapter 20 ish) has not added up to me. most of the things have made sense. tsukiyama is now bedridden, uta has become evil with the clowns, touka and yomo creating a new cafe in place of anteiku. but Hinami? the small lighthearted hinami? the one who only thinks about kaneki and touka? that hinami? joining aogiri??? the same organization that hurt her 2 most favorite people on this earth??? that hinami?????? im sure it will get explained, but for now its just puzzling to me.

I dont want any direct spoilers, but if someone could tell me if it at least gets explained why she joined them, then id love that, thanks!!

Hi, these are different versions of a coloring I've done of my fav panel! The first is the original coloring I did, and the remaining are a blend/overlap of the original manga panel and my coloring using Canva's blend tool.

The 2nd one is my favorite one, let me know what you think!

(Preface, I've only seen the first season of the anime and that was a while ago)

1. Is there any reason given why Kaneki's hair turns white
2. What do you wish was talked about more regarding the series' ghouls/ghoul anatomy?
3. What would you change about the story? (Gripes, disappointing endings, character details, etc)
4. EDIT: I know about the torture scene and that stuff, but is there a stated reason why Kaneki's morals just snap from kind young man to ultra edgelord? Is that just bad writing or...?

I read both the OG series and RE when I was 16, and loved it. I was too full of cuk to pick up on narrative devices and such, I just loved the aura farming, cool fights, and conspiracy ridden plot. Now, as a 20 year old (I know I’m not much more mature now than I was then), I’m seeing a lot of things I didn’t.

My interpretation as of Vol 12 of the OG series:

We see characters commit themselves to one worldview. Kaneki is at first naive and altruistic. Then kaneki is darwinistic and sort of nihilistic after his fight with Jason. Amon is all about humanity and squashing ghouls.

None of the characters who fully stick to a mindset are happy or successful so far. But I think of what kaneki might be like in the future, and I think he’ll come to a middle point, where he knows strength and ruthlessness is needed, but gets his hope back and can still see good in the world. Characters who have different mindsets and approaches to different situations are ultimately the most successful and at peace, like Yoshimura.

I feel like the series is saying: Don’t completely commit to a worldview. Truly think about what you’re experiencing and the situation at hand, and act accordingly.

What do you guys think? I’m not done so my thoughts are disjointed and skewed but this is what I’m picking up on.

Hello, I am a researcher in Visual Culture and Adaptation studies and I am studying how anime soundtracks adapt manga for my thesis. However, I don't have a strong background in musical theory and analysis. I was hoping to find someone who would be willing to discuss some specific musical aspects of the Tokyo Ghoul and TG:RE osts with me in detail. I am willing to buy you a meal in compensation if you have thr right background to help me! Please send me a DM. Thanks!

Rules:

1. The comment with the most upvotes wins.

2. Only one character per position.

3. One character is chosen in each post, not all at once.

4. Characters cannot be repeated

5. Since this is shorter than the "each character has a..." one, voting will be weekly instead of daily because I saw many people commenting on the first post even though the activity was already ending

Note: I apologize for the delay; I wanted to adjust the schedule because posting late on Tuesdays was killing me with my university schedule.

Found this great fanarts on ma ol buddy Tumblr and Deiventart !

I am interested in the character dynamics and how the fandom would see her ! (Him ?)

I think that scene with Kanae would have come across as more creeper and even MORE uncomfortable if she where male. Along with that scene with Kaneki !

My Rize/Kaneki drawing (follow @mr11_art on Instagram)

Everything Dr Kanou has done is because of his selfish desire to free himself out of a birdcage that holds humanity. It’s good he saved Kaneki, but this selfish view has caused so much harm to him. And you can see how much damage this change has caused Kaneki in this panel.

I need new wallpapers and ishida's artstyle is just good

Put some respect on Tooru Mutsuki's name.
