It was probably a choice between most-requested items.

I can only imagine someone at WS looking at that poll after it got circulated to TG fans and promptly going "ugh."

Broken record on this topic but the TG fanbase is still the most invisible loving thing that apparently has a presence that I've ever seen.

I don't know why they would hate a show, especially rather solid one.

I think this is more wishful thinking than anything else,

Ah so it is just wishful thinking. I don't care whether you like the show or not but don't try and graft it into others.

Also Tokyo Ghoul is not edgy at all.

Now when people call it boring, do they mean "Bleach second-half" boring or "Gundam Unicorn" boring? Because Bleach at least was fun to mockwatch because of all the hilariously stupid dialogue, bullshit/counter-bullshit and silly character designs, while Gundam you're just sitting there in confusion trying to figure out just what is even going on through all the purple prose.

It's not hard to follow as it's rather simple plot wise, so I assume just to much talking for some.

Though to be honest I never saw Root A or whatever it's called.

Well like I said I haven't seen Root A which is what that is from. Also Root A isn't actually that close to the manga from what I hear.

Well I saw the first episode which you have to as they made a really weird season dividing decision.

I watched half of this show before getting bored and trust me, it's edgy enough.

I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna!!!

LAST WEEK ON TOONAMI

Samurai Jack: It's been 50 years since we've last seen Jack. He's lost his sword, and seemingly his purpose. Meanwhile, seven women are raised from birth for the express purpose of killing Jack.

Dragon Ball Super: Goku's a Super Saiyan God! Let's fight!

Dragon Ball Kai: The complete waste of time that is the kid's bracket of the Budokai comes to a close and Trunks clowns Satan.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Storming the Pillar Men's HQ, Caesar gets clowned by Wamuu. It's very sad because we have no more Bryce.

Gundam Unicorn: Zeon Remnant forces attack the Federation's Capitol Building in Dakar in a feint operation to allow the Garencieres to safely descend to Earth. Banagher and the Unicorn Gundam are revealed to have been rescued by the Garencieres during re-entry, but he broods over the death of Gilboa by his hands. Meanwhile, Marida is transported to a Federation facility somewhere in North America, where Martha Vist Carbine manipulates her with the remains of a Qubeley mass-production unit, which she and other Ple clones piloted in the past. Audrey is held at the Marcenas estate, but she escapes captivity and stops by at a local diner, where she engages in an insightful conversation with the diner's elderly owner. Bright Noa is ordered to take Riddhe on board the Ra Cailum under his command, as well as capture the Garencieres. I am just copying from Wiki at this point.

Hunter x Hunter: Gon and Killua run into Leorio again, yay! But we need money for the auction, so let's fleece people! Oh no, it's the villains!


LAST WEEK ON GOONAMI

Steins;Gate: To save Mayuri, Okabe needs to undo every change to the past he and others have made. During this process, we have to make a woman accept her father's death and go on a date.

Is Parasyte considered edgy? Because they hit the same beats. Though edgy in general has lost most meaning.

I feel like it's all in the execution. And like I said, I've seen Tokyo Ghoul.

But this all doesn't change the fact that the series is dull as dirt anyway.

Perhaps the truth lies...somewhere in the middle. I'd honestly rather have the other posters come to their own conclusions on whether they like TG or not, since what little bit I've seen seemed fine, but it just wasn't the kind of story/setting that I liked. Posters on here seem to not care for dark/violent content, so those aspects shouldn't be a problem for them, and I'm sure at least a couple will actually enjoy it.

I'm very willing to accept the possibility that I might be giving it an unfair shake, since I didn't see it in the best conditions, but I'm still not sure if I even like the premise.

Not liking the premise is fine, because I don't either :v:

But yeah, just writing it off like that without an explaination can color other viewer's perspectives a ton, and make the difference between a group having mixed reactions or straight up unabashedly hating/loving a property (looking at IBO/SAO and JJBA here)

Hey if you don't like it it's fine. I am not trying to dissuade you from that I just don't think edgy is a fair description.

I like Tokyo Ghoul but I don't think many of you will and that's fine.
