Can we just take the time to appreciate the different endings for each episode(thank you based ishida). Episode 7 was especially my favorite seeing Hinami's life go by and the different colors passing by. Also, it shows Hinami's RE version so I'm pretty sure by now the ending of root A will be the same as the manga and we'll get a third season of RE for anime when there's enough chapters.

[quote=crazypoorer]I didn't know calling anime crap because it doesn't have a deep plot or because it isn't as good as its manga counterpart bandwagoning, especially when this idea's been over the internet for years[/quote]
I was arguing over your definition of a bandwagon, not whether or not he was bandwagoning.
You also can. It's called not watching the anime and spouting things that other people say about it.
This goes for movies, video games, etc.

[quote=djmaxaaron]For something like Tokyo Ghoul, I highly ever doubted an anime could truly capture the essence of it. The source material is written very well and as for most other mangas, an anime adaptation doesn't do it justice most of the time as well. Considering all that, even though the anime was faster paced than usual, censoring was present, and skipped some important parts are all things to be expected(besides the censoring). That being said, the first episode and especially the last episode in my opinion were done extremely well. The first episode did its part in capturing what is needed, and the last episode truly captured the breakdown of Kaneki as he discards his humanity and I thought it was an episode I would always remember.[/quote]
I agree with every bit of that. I was fairly excited about this series when I heard it was going to air, because I did enjoy the manga a lot. First episode, even with the censoring, I was perfectly fine with. It drew me in. And the finale was spectacular. But then everything else was... terrible. The original plot notwithstanding, the one they presented was awful. It was bare bones, with no meat to chew on. If you're gonna go with an original route, it better be good. And this wasn't to me. It's almost as bad as it gets.
This COULD have been an amazing series, if a) they went with a proper adaptation and b) didn't ruin the majority of the characters or c) came up with one hell of an original story. But it didn't happen, and it's a shame.
And no, I'm not on any bandwagon. I like what I like. I dislike what I dislike. I don't need someone else's opinion to make my own feel valid.
[quote=crazypoorer]You can't consider him being on a bandwagon if what he believes in is usually true. This anime was obviously going to be horrendous when they announced the amount of restricted episodes along with the announcement of the anime. If people actually thought the directors could fit almost all of the plot from the manga into the anime, they were either just expecting a bad anime or have never watched anime for its plot before.[/quote]

There is plot in every anime, saying that it doesn't have plot is idiotic, there would be no anime in the beginning. I understand the rage, but the thing is there are way too many people that justify it with "THE MANGA IS SUPERIOR, THEY RUINED THE ADAPTATION" yeah no crap. It's obvious from the start, but it wasn't terrible either. It did its job, got enough viewers captured for a second season. There will be a third season at this rate when RE comes with more chapters and the Hinami spoiler in episode 7 in Root A as well.

I couldn't care less that the anime deviated from the manga. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. That's how it is. Tokyo Ghoul, the anime, would be trash whether it deviated or not. Because it's a horrible adaptation. Season 1 was trash. Season 2 is going the same direction. Bad action, bad drama, bad storytelling, bad everything. It has next to zero redeeming qualities.
And the original FMA was trash the second it deviated. I haven't read the manga either. I just knew something happened, because all logic was thrown completely out the window at that point. Yet Trigun was amazing. Like I said, sometimes deviating is fine. Sometimes it's not. It all depends on how it is handled.[/quote]
So true, I couldn't take it and stopped halfway </3

Yes you can.
"Jumping on the bandwagon" involves one jumping into a fad and supporting said fad by backing it and believing the ideals that someone else has already put down.
But that's beside the point.
[quote=djmaxaaron]Butchered? The season two went a different route for a reason. It's condensed into 12 episode arcs, obviously it will be butchered. After all it's assumed that most people have already read the manga that watch it. Not to mention season two is a different route after all. I'm just glad to have more tokyo ghoul to watch while waiting for the manga chapters. You need to get off the bandwagon of how the manga is so much better. It is and always will be but the fact that there's more to it is enough to me.[/quote]

idk I think everything you said is bad is pretty alright.

[quote=HolyBloodly]Oh great, that's just what we need... more Tokyo Ghoul. How this ended up a popular anime is beyond me. It's butchered beyond belief.[/quote]
Just because a series deviates from "hurr durr muh god tier manga plot" doesn't make it bad.
Next thing you're gonna tell me is that FMA and Trigun are bad because they deviated from their manga plot.
Granted, S2 has an alternate route, it still feels hella rushed. There were quite a number of scenes I wish they expanded on.

@Noblesses: The manga was good, sure. But it's not that the anime deviated from the manga. It's just a terrible adaptation in general. They only hit a couple of the characters (Touka, the old man, and Hinami in the last episode)... all the others were just terrible. Action is lousy, plot direction is lousy. It's just plain bad.
The music is fine. But it can't possibly save this one.
OH GOD NO!, just let it die in peace. No more ghouls please.

I guess people don't know about the manga
At least the ED pictures are pretty.
