This can be said for the anime as a whole but if your first introduction to the series is the anime i can't recommend enough for you to please go read the manga. Saying this season is "rushed" is a total understatement of how "Bad" it is.

As a manga reader of the series i will try to not to spoil anything but the anime did not do anything justice. At best the only complement the anime gets is it's OST and opening/ending music is a total banger because they brought back TK( the singer who did unravel) and there's a certain scene between Kaneki and Touka i thought was somewhat done pretty good but that's the only complement that the anime gets. It really did feel as though the Studio read the series and decided to do foot notes of the series instead of properly adapting it.

First off the animation for a good majority of the fights are a total let down. One of the most important fight's Kaneki Vs

Arima

was done so dirty something that is very touching and important moment for the protagonist had both lackluster animation and art.

. If lackluster animation and art wasn't bad enough they decided to skip major scenes towards the final arc (one most notable is the Kaneki in white Suits). I had heard that the studio had threw away the Arthur's script for the anime sometime around when making Root A and if that's the case then that explains why the anime is so lackluster.

And speaking of Root A if you are an anime only completely ignore Root A as it's not cannon and them expecting anime only's to make sense of this mess of an anime is sad. If you do side by side comparisons between the anime and manga you can easily tell the smallest of things that are missing compared to the manga. I have never seen a anime get as much disrespect as Tokyo Ghoul got especially for a studio who loves to put countless filler in their anime sure did feel like they had something against the series and the author. Even the character designs felt off a lot of the times, for example Ayato, Hinami, and even Kaneki if you go to the manga their designs look way better, just something about the anime makes them look off.

In terms of voice acting i would said the voice acting is somewhat okay nothing really great. I did like Kaneki's Japanese voice actor but that's about it and the english dub sure didn't help in fact the english dub voice acting came off as cringe for this show.

My overall score is a 1/100 if it wasn't for the music and a certain scene i would give this anime a negative 0 out of 100 and i highly and can't recommend the manga for this show, because this isn't an adaptation this is more like someone's wikipedia summary of a show and it's sad because such great music gone to waste on such a garbage adaptation. This "adaptation" is an insult to The fans, TK, and Ishida Sui. In my opinion it's because of adaptations like this as to why many dark series get such a shitty adaptation.
