Tokyo Ghoul √A

Kaneki has left Anteiku and decided to follow his own path. Naturally, during this time, cruelty and ruthlessness in Tokyo have reached their peak. The factional conflicts between the department fighting the ghouls and the ghoul groups themselves have only intensified the violence. After Anteiku and Kaneki went their separate ways, they each charted their own course. Kaneki joins an organization called Aogiri Tree. Everyone begins to take sides. Chaos and disorder completely dominate the environment. The existence of ghouls has become increasingly apparent; moreover, ghoul groups other than Anteiku engage in actions that support this visibility, arguing that their existence should be known and that elements posing a threat to them must be eliminated. The department waging war against the ghouls views them as a threat to humanity and, following recent events, has obtained crucial information about these important organizations.

Review

The anime picks up right where the first season left off, adopting a harsher, more somber tone. Furthermore, the transformation Kaneki undergoes elevates interest and curiosity about the series to its peak. The conflicts and rivalries between the various factions within the series keep the action constantly fresh and lively. You also find yourself constantly curious about the powers of the different characters. The only drawback of the anime is Kaneki wandering around with an air of having tasted much pain. His perpetual immersion in a gloomy mood and his attitude, which can be described as akin to that of Little Emrah, can sometimes become tiresome. Apart from that, the anime lives up to the reputation it has earned. Additionally, there is a third season of the anime. You will be able to see its review on our site in the near future.
