Tokyo Ghoul
is one of a kind. A psychological thriller that will send a chill down your
spine. The anime looks promising in the first two episodes showing the
transformation of Kaneki from human to ghoul and the later episodes also have
plot twists and overall the enjoyment level is high for the viewers.
The
animation is pretty decent and the fight scenes have been nicely animated. The
tentacles of the Kagune are somewhat way too pulsating. But still there were no
flaws whatsoever. The characters are pretty decent but the story is mainly
focused on the MC and other characters are not that remarkable. The characters
are a bit of a letdown but that does not effect the series whatsoever. Morita
has done a splendid job in showing the internal conflict of Ken Kaneki with his
human and ghoul self.
Natsuki
Hanae has done an excellent job of playing the young, timid, scared and
conflicted Ken. The other voice actors have also done a good job. The opening
theme was awesome and set well with the series and Original Sound Tracks were also rather good
and deserve a thumbs up. Considering it the first season of Tokyo Ghoul, it has
been awesome and worth watching so far. The anime creates an atmosphere of
mystery and suspense and the viewer gets involved in the life of Kaneki. The
story is more action based than having a deeper meaning.
The plot
revolves around the main protagonist Ken Kaneki. The story is set in Tokyo
which is haunted by mysterious ghouls whose identities are masked in mystery.
Kaneki here meets a girl called Rize who also is an avid reader like him and
then the fate of Ken changes forever that night.
Verdict :
This show a must watch for everyone out there who is longing to watch a dark,
action oriented anime show.
