Tokyo Ghoul review, Horror has never been so fabulous

When this years summer anime season began, I had all of my viewing plans sorted out and had my expectations. Now that summer is over I can say that while some of these expectations have lived up to their name, others have been quite a disappointment. But there was one very important show that when it was announced, I didn't expect anything from it, I thought it would either be a terrible adaptation or studio Perriot trying to relive the good old days of Bleach popularity. Well, after the first episode it was the best first episode to a series of the season, and that includes Zankyou no terrors first episode. This was the highly controversial horror anime Tokyo Ghoul.

Since this anime is an adaptation of the very popular manga series, Tokyo Ghoul had a lot to do to impress not only the new viewers but the die hard manga fans as well.
For the most part this show was very entertaining as it had brilliant animation, interesting characters and some kick ass action scenes.The first two episodes of the show were the best first episodes of any anime this year so its a big shame at how vague it became. Now while some people loved the ending to this anime, I thought it was tedious and predictable since we all knew that it would happen eventually but the rest of the fighting was pretty awesome 

The characters were definitely the strongest element in this show. Seeing Kaneki becoming the new Shinji Ikari was quite annoying sometimes but he was well developed all the same. Also, the supporting characters like Touka and Nishiki had their moment in the spotlight which was good to see as they were very engaging and compelling characters throughout. But my personal favourite character throughout the entire series had to be Tsukiyama, simply because of how ridiculously fabulous he was constantly and how he was always so striking in clothing and posture (probably because he was bat shit crazy).

Now obviously Tokyo Ghoul is getting a season 2 since it ended on a clear to be continued so luckily its not gonna be just 12 episodes. But overall while it has some gaping problems Tokyo Ghoul is a show worth watching if you love the horror/psychological genre. Its dark, its intriguing and it has lots of cool looking masks, so check it out now.
