(this review is about not only TG re S2 but also the other previous anime seasons)
Tokyo Ghoul
After rewatching all the seasons of this anime. It was very nostalgic since it was the first anime i watched. Im still impressed by how many thoughts the anime was able to show to us with Ken Kaneki - i guess it was expected with 4 seasons. Even tho lot of people will say that anime went downhill after season 1 (i agree) i still think that if you werent just crying about that. You could still learn a lot of stuff thanks to Kanekis journey through the anime. For example showing amazing will to fight even after breaking completely multiple times. The only thing i wish for still that the anime had more stable storyline and that it wouldnt have such a big holes in the storyline - sometimes it really felt like it is going nowhere without any point. I was also trying to compare it to parasyte and what they did in same or similar way - came to conclusion that it would be focusing on human actions being sometimes highly affected by their emotions and feelings - grudge, anger, sadness, pleasure... i guess you could come up with some other ideas.
I really like how the anime showed multiple times that Kanekis story here was meant to be a tragedy, at start being a quiet kid which is almost all the time reading books, to if i try to put it in a very easy way carrying a burden of the whole tokyo and fate of ghouls and humans.
Ken Kaneki
The main character of the anime Ken Kaneki was at first a normal and quiet kid which doesnt really hang out with others and mainly spends his time reading books. If he actually went out, it was with Hide. After meeting Rize lot of things changed for him. Here is one thing i dont believe some people would pay attention to. Ken Kaneki wasnt good and lacked social skills, well now imagine being in his situation.. having social skill problems and turning into a half-human and half-ghoul, must have been fun to try to establish himself in one of those atleast. With that said i really liked how he was actually able to overcome this :D. After getting comfy to a certain extend he was revealing slowly but surely to himself and us that ghouls aswell have their families and that they arent only monsters. This must have been again something so hard on Ken Kaneki - being the only one to actually know this. The fact that he understood both viewpoints must have been very uncomfortable and hard to swallow, at his place i would feel a REEEEAALLY big pressure on my shoulders only. One more thing i really liked about Ken Kaneki at the very end when i looked at all of the seasons progress he made, i really liked the fact that he learned to just move forward, even tho he not always made the best choice, he atleast was still doing the best possible option he believed he had in that certain moments.
My main takeaways
Thanks for reading and keep dreaming
