Also Owl is the evil boss. Mado the Crazy White Haired guy from the starts ultimate Target was the Owl who killed his wife.

I have not read or watched this show I am just taking this stuff from Synopsis stuff.

Ok, wow. Ok, since I like reading Trash Manga, I'll just say that the show hosed up the Rescue Arc. It also really hosed up the Owl's design. And with this rear end-pull, we skip out on about two books of Kaneki actaully changing as a character, getting beat up by a ghoul with kung-fu (just Kung-Fu!) and the reveal of the Owl's actual identity (spoiler, it's The dude in charge of the Cafe, but the original was his son )

So, yeah, they kinda just rear end-pulled this.

Like, I sort of enjoy the book despite it being trash, and I agree. And that was just one episode!

Waffleman_ posted:

Nope.

His reveal in the book is when the CCG is like 'Chase after those guys who escaped', and he's just standing there in the mist. He then takes down two of those guys in that dumb armor to stop them, then peaces out. He's just there and gone. We don't see him again for another three books. He's used sparingly in the manga because he's supposed to be an urban legend that people think the older inspectors made up to sound badass. I take it the show is not going to go that route.

I mean hell i kinda liked Tokyo Ghoul at first because much like AgK, it was fun to laugh at it as it tries so hard to take itself seroiusly. But the difference between Agk and Tokyo Ghoul is


1.Tokyo Ghoul wasen't originally going to be a hentai game so there are no hot anime babes.

2. Takumi had a cooler power than being able to cry on command like Kaniki can

I don't know if someone already revealed this or if it's just loving obvious because I was assuming that anyway.

Yeah. They popped up at the end of the first season and the first episode of this season to fight the CCG.

It's pretty easy to miss, though, since those episodes had a clusterfuck of nonsense going on, not to mention that the focus was on Kaneki being tortured.

Like, I'm not defending TD, it's pure trash and possibly the worst show ran on Toonami, or at least a Top 3 Finish. But tentacles.
