"Watch as these characters clash to find out the true depths of what it means to be good and evil... or for all the awesome supernatural fighting action. Yeah, I think I know what I'm here for!" ~ Honest Trailers Anime - Tokyo Ghoul
Script[]
From the studio (Studio Pierrot) that produced Naruto and Bleach, and ruined Beelzebub (shows a feminine-looking Tatsumi Oga in the anime adaptation of Beelzebub), comes an anime so gruesome, the only thing you ever get to see are terribly placed black screens. (shows moments of extreme gore censored by black smudges) You should probably wait for the Blu-ray.
Tokyo Ghoul
Welcome to Tokyo, the only place that ever exists in anime, where humans and Ghouls are in a constant battle for supremacy. Then follow the human nerd Kaneki as he's thrust into the world of Ghouls with a bunch of characters with really nice hair, like... Touka, the hot, sexy maid who always gets her ass handed to her; Rize, the horny glutton whose only reason for existing is to be a cheap plot device -- Or make that two reasons. (shows Rize's cleavage) Bewbs. -- Jason, the worst math teacher ever; Tsukiyama, the pervert gourmet who will somehow be your favorite character; Mado, the bastard who you love to hate until they hit you with that tragic backstory; and Amon, a newbie agent with sweet gains. Then watch as these characters clash to find out the true depths of what it means to be good and evil... or for all the awesome supernatural fighting action. Yeah, I think I know what I'm here for!
Immerse yourself into an anime that will make you question the definition of humanity, as our hero tries to find meaning in his life as a creature in between the worlds of Ghouls and humans... by completely wasting time drinking coffee and crying a lot. Then watch as Kaneki spreads his rotten luck like a plague, ruining everything around him, making his best friend (Hide), his new friends (Shuu and Haru), and even his enemies (Mado) as miserable as he is with the force of an emo tornado, in this anime so difficult to comprehend, we're still asking questions like, "How does Rize get messed up in such a pathetic accident? Conventional weapons can't penetrate a Ghoul's skin, and they have beastlike reflexes, so why couldn't she dodge it?", "Why do they wear masks when they don't try to hide any other part of themselves, like their very obvious haircuts?", "If Ghouls can eat dead flesh, then why can't they just regulate that? Where are the advocacy groups?", "Are Ghouls only central to Japan? Why hasn't the U.N. gotten together to try to figure this out?", "Why would you let a dude that couldn't be more obviously a freak be your friend?", "How does Kaneki just know how to fight like a badass all of a sudden? Is this The Matrix?", and the biggest question of all: "Would Kaneki never have become a Ghoul if he wasn't so desperate to get laid?"
Spend over 11 episodes building towards a suspense-filled climax... to watch it end abruptly for, like, no reason, just as Kaneki finally graduates from being a helpless little bitch to a traumatized anti-hero, in the anime equivalent of premature ejaculation that's just sad for everyone involved. But don't worry; there's another season... for you to be disappointed about. But who needs story development, anyway? Look at this guy! (shows Kaneki's Rinkaku kagune) He's a f*cking pterodactyl made of knives! Awesome!
