Should I Watch Tokyo Ghoul?

Tokyo Ghoul Review

About:
In an alternate future there are human-like beings called Ghouls that feed on human flesh. Kaneki is living his life out quite normally with his friend Hide until he is attacked by a Ghoul. One thing leads to another and Kaneki is thrust into a Ghoul filled world. However, he soon learns that there is much more to these Ghouls than meets the eye... especially the eye... Essentially, super cannibals with super powers and no less super moral dilemmas.

Pros:
- Each Ghoul has their own powers called kagune which are their own form of predatory weapon and vary greatly
- Coffee never tasted so good
- Relatable main character, has lady problems, bros before hoes problems and shows character development
- Two factions that are both justified in their actions, good luck taking sides!
- Should definitely watch if you are a zombie

Cons:
- Differences between the manga and anime :(
- 4kids-ed/censored you'd think when someone watches a show about cannibals they would accept the fact that there might be some gore
- Can be quite dark and you will not enjoy this if you are put off by gore

 <--What every anime watcher wants to hear from a flesh eating babe


Verdict:
When I first heard about this I thought "Ew, gross!" and wondered if I would turn into a Wendigo (google it) if I watched it. This anime is dark and brutal but does not miss out on touching moments and it makes you feel sympathy for the heroes as well as the "bad guys", I was like NO you can't be nice you're the bad guy but man.... so deep. Although Touka, one of the protagonists can be abrasive she has a really cool super power so I forgive her. You will think it is cool, weird, gross and badass all at the same time. The manga is more like a thriller whereas the anime has been transformed into an action style probably to make it open to a wider audience, not everyone wants to get chills while reading a manga but EVERYONE wants to go WOOHOO BLOOD GUTS SUPERPOWERS! We can't deny it and therefore I cannot deny that you will enjoy this anime if that is your style!

YES YOU SHOULD WATCH TOKYO GHOUL 
(if you turn into a Wendigo I'm sorry. While the anime IS COOL the manga is highly recommended too)


- The one kagune looks like Abarai Renji's Zabimaru
