You can’t, it seems, ever get just the series with Tokyo Ghoul – you have to get the whole menagerie of complicated nonsense and confusion that goes along with it. Read more

Tokyo Ghoul √A – 12 (End) and Series Review)
I don’t know what stunned me more – that final episode, or the reaction to it. Author’s Note: Given the obvious gap between anime and manga events, please refrain from posting manga spoilers in the comments even if the anime has concluded. Many of us plan to read it in […] Read more
Tokyo Ghoul √A – 11
For me, there’s no question Tokyo Ghoul is the most vexing show of the season. What a strange series this is. There’s definitely some Kiseijuu in its genes, but the spin it puts on its tragic storyline is novel and interesting. But for every moment where it seems as if […] Read more
Tokyo Ghoul √A – 10
I’m left wondering if the things I thought and felt about that episode were what its creators intended. That certainly lived up to its billing, on the whole. There were elements of this week’s episode-encompassing fight scene that were animated unevenly, but on the whole it was visually excellent – […] Read more
Tokyo Ghoul √A – 09
Perhaps the most important thing I can say about that ep is that it was a lot better than I feared it was going to be. I’ll admit I was pretty pessimistic watching the first few minutes of this episode of Tokyo Ghoul √A. I really didn’t want to see […] Read more
Tokyo Ghoul √A – 08
Honestly, between the first and second halves of this season of Tokyo Ghoul √A, it’s almost hard to believe it’s the same series. Watching Tokyo Ghoul this season has certainly been an odd experience. The first half of the season was almost like a band releasing an album of B-sides […] Read more
Tokyo Ghoul √A – 07
And just like that, Tokyo Ghoul is all the way back. Raise your hand if you saw that coming. It seems almost unnecessary to say that this was the best episode of Tokyo Ghoul √A, the gap between it and any that preceded it is so wide (though last week’s […] Read more
Tokyo Ghoul √A – 06
That was certainly a change-of-pace, in a good way. This may not have been the perfect episode of Tokyo Ghoul, but I think it came at the perfect time. Frankly “Root A” has been all over the place – scattershot, utterly confusing, uneven and sloppy. Sometimes it’s been exhilarating and […] Read more
Tokyo Ghoul √A – 05
Wai! More effing named characters to keep track of! I saw a comment about this episode (from an ASF poster named Blakstealth, FTR) that sums it up as well, I think, as any can: “I hope the next episode takes some time to explain what the fuck is happening.” Frankly […] Read more
Tokyo Ghoul √A – 04
What a weird series Tokyo Ghoul √A is turning out to be. I’ve mentioned this before, but I have almost no idea what’s going on here. Tokyo Ghoul has to be approaching some kind of record for the most new characters introduced in the shortest time with the least exposition. […] Read more
