So, I've actually started reading the GitS original manga this week. Here's a taste (courtesy of the dude posting these in the Bad Webcomic thread):



Turns out Sand Whale and Me is the rule for Shirow's output, not the exception. That would be SAC and the movies, which strip out all his humor and some of the grosser fanservice. Who knew? Fuchikoma are still adorable as hell, at least. And now I know what the hell a "geofront" actually is.

EDIT: Ignore that, I'm dumb. SWnM was the movie dude, Oshii, not the manga dude. Shirow just makes straight up porn these days.

If you think Tokyo Ghoul is stupid and pointless now, read up on what comes later. Because they are seriously going on about "bringing about peace between Ghouls and Humans" when one of them STILL NEEDS TO LITERALLY DEVOUR THE OTHER TO LIVE.

I zoned out in Season 2 when my friend wanted me to watch it, so I barely remember anything aside from the ending.

Have Ghouls ever tried to eat the meat of other creatures that are still alive? Why is human flesh/organs the only thing they can eat aside from coffee? For that matter, why not collaborate with humanity to make some kind of coffee substitute food that prevents both sides from warring? Or at least have some kind of ambassadors or something that release a statement that not all Ghouls are like Rize or Jason Vorhees.

None of this makes sense. :psyduck:

Except Parasytes can eat regular food that any other animal, human host or otherwise, could metabolize - as well as not eat the host brain. Most just choose to eat humans because they can.

Tokyo Ghouls need to devour only human flesh to live. Its why they can't really eat or handle other forms of food. There are apparently other forms that don't need to do this, but most of the species, save for cannibalizing other ghouls, need human flesh. There are not enough cloning facilities, willing idiots, suicides or prisoners to pull that poo poo off.

Also I only thought they drank the coffee because it has that weird hunger suppressant chemical. They still eat up suicide bodies if they are weak or can't hunt humans, so they're still likely just murdering homeless people while crying about why does everyone see them as monsters.

Like, plot points I didn't like aside, the end of that season was still paced badly, and I don't buy that they wrote it without thinking "we really should have asked for more episodes". Part of the reason I didn't like the later eps was because I knew it was going to end as abruptly as it did.

I kind of understand where he's coming from in that the series was written by Genndy and he has the ability to end it as he sees fit, but at the same time it does come across as an overly defensive statement. Especially in light of the fact that criticism of the ending doesn't do the show any harm.
