With the characters being so dreadful, the anime relied heavily on the plot and the violence. As the MC of Tokyo Ghoul, Kaneki's main role is to disappoint us to death, cry a lot, and bitch a lot about how much he sucks. Kaneki is worth talking about because he is a boy born with a vagina.oh and he is a also a half-ghoul, almost forgot about that. Frankly I'm not going to talk about any of the characters aside from Kaneki because there is nothing to say about them after 12 episodes. The worst aspect of Tokyo Ghoul are the characters and their development. This review will be based on the anime alone, which I believe is more correct then the people giving this adaption a break solely for their admiration of the manga. I'm going to fess up now and admit that I have not read the manga although I'm aware that it's a lot better and that they crammed 60 chapters into 12 episodes. The opening theme is good, and the ending theme is pretty catchy.

Why? Because it's one sentence long so lets get it

Lets actually start off with the 'good' in Tokyo Ghoul. Remember when you were little and you tried to bake that really awesome cake following the instructions on a cooking-book and ended up forgetting half the ingredients or using the wrong ones and the cake looked like complete shit and shit was all over the kitchen and then your mother walked in and slapped you across the face? Whether or not you remember, if you can picture that scenario then you can picture how Studio Pierrot's attempt at adapting Tokyo Ghoul into an anime unfolded.
