Sometimes good people make bad choices. It doesn't mean they're bad people. It means they're human.

Hello community. I have missed you guys. The previous two weeks have been really hectic and unnerving. I've been down to hanging onto my last straw of sanity and nearly shoving my fist into a wall. It's been good.

There was this song by Chase Atlantic, Consume that I was listening to. I remember writing a review about it and learning how the song came about due to an inspiration from Toyko Ghoul. I had it on my laptop, so I decided I'd just rewatch it to try to get myself back and think normal thoughts.

Toyko Ghoul is a four season anime written by Sui Ishida with its first season airing sometime around 2014. There's this prospect I've been wanting to address,concerning social medias and recommendations gotten from them. I get a lot of recommendations from them so I know it first hand. I don't really like reading the comments concerning a particular anime that I'm interested in its edit. I mean I'm probably being sensitive and indirectly not respecting other people's feelings about whatever it is they watch. But the idea of completely badmouthing a show alot of people liked doesn't sit right with me. Even if it wasn't good or to your liking,you could just say it politely and add a bit of humor to it. No need to come around,spreading weird vibes all around.

Toyko Ghoul revolves around Ken Kaneki. Ken Kaneki is an introverted and shy college student who is also an avid reader. His life takes a huge and dramatic turn when he goes on a date with a girl named Rize Kamishiro,who turned out to be a ghoul. Ghouls are supernatural creatures that resembles humans but are primarily known for their ability to consume human flesh. They also have enhanced features like speed, regeneration and strength.
After a series of event, Rize attempts to eat Kaneki but an incident occured causing her death. Kaneki survives the encounter but unknowingly undergoes an experimental surgery and had Rize's organs transplanted into his body,causing him to turn into a ghoul.

"Tell me. Why does bad things happen to good people all the time?"

Kaneki struggles with his new identity,trying to dampen and grapple with the insatiable hunger for human flesh that comes with being a ghoul. He tries to adapt, discovering and getting to know other ghouls,that helps him understand the changes occuring in his body and how to go about it. He is taken in by the members of a certain cafe,Anteiku, a safe haven for ghouls who mean no harm to the community and to humans.

Throughout the anime,we see Kaneki's struggles with becoming to ghoul whilst trying desperately to hold onto his humanity. Toyko Ghoul is an emotional striken anime,with all the heart breaking stories being told, you're reminded again how the world is really not it in a way. You feel things. Things that doesn't relate or concerns you in a way. Toyko Ghoul has a lot of gore and really sad scenes. I mean,Kaneki was just a good, normal and boring kid,minding his own business..He didn't deserve that. He didn't deserve any of that,any of what he went through.

'She said, "Careful or you'll lose it"

But girl, I'm only human

And I know there's a blade where your heart is

And you know how to use it

And you can take my flesh if you want, girl

But baby, don't abuse it

These voices in my head, screaming, "Run now"

I'm praying that they're human'

If you don't mind seeing excess blood and random organs here and there on your tv or phone screen,I think you should watch Toyko Ghoul,if you haven't. It's a really good anime. Although,it dropped a little after season 1. Alot of complaints were made about how the other seasons could've done better. This is one of those animes that definitely deserve a remake cause it is 'up there'.
Thanks for reading;)

A veces, las personas buenas toman malas decisiones. No significa que sean malas personas. Significa que son humanas.

Hola, comunidad. Los he extrañado. Las últimas dos semanas han sido muy agitadas y desconcertantes. He estado aferrándome a mi última gota de cordura y casi empujo mi puño contra una pared. Ha sido bueno.

Había una canción de Chase Atlantic, Consume, que estaba escuchando. Recuerdo haber escrito una reseña sobre ella y haberme enterado de que la canción surgió gracias a una inspiración de Toyko Ghoul. La tenía en mi portátil, así que decidí volver a verla para intentar recuperarme y pensar en cosas normales.

Toyko Ghoul es un anime de cuatro temporadas escrito por Sui Ishida, cuya primera temporada se emitirá en algún momento de 2014. Hay una perspectiva que he querido abordar, en relación con las redes sociales y las recomendaciones que he recibido de ellas. Recibo muchas recomendaciones de ellas, así que lo sé de primera mano. Realmente no me gusta leer los comentarios sobre un anime en particular que me interesa en su edición. Quiero decir, probablemente estoy siendo sensible e indirectamente no estoy respetando los sentimientos de otras personas sobre lo que sea que vean. Pero la idea de hablar mal de un programa que le gustó a mucha gente no me sienta bien. Incluso si no fue bueno o de tu agrado, puedes decirlo educadamente y agregarle un poco de humor. No hace falta que vengas, esparces vibraciones extrañas por todos lados.

Toyko Ghoul gira en torno a Ken Kaneki. Ken Kaneki es un estudiante universitario introvertido y tímido que también es un ávido lector. Su vida da un giro enorme y dramático cuando tiene una cita con una chica llamada Rize Kamishiro, que resultó ser un ghoul. Los ghouls son criaturas sobrenaturales que se parecen a los humanos, pero son principalmente conocidos por su capacidad de consumir carne humana. También tienen características mejoradas como velocidad, regeneración y fuerza.

Después de una serie de eventos, Rize intenta comerse a Kaneki, pero ocurre un incidente que causa su muerte. Kaneki sobrevive al encuentro, pero sin saberlo se somete a una cirugía experimental y le trasplantan los órganos de Rize en su cuerpo, lo que hace que se convierta en un ghoul.

"Dime, ¿por qué le pasan cosas malas a la gente buena todo el tiempo?"

Kaneki lucha con su nueva identidad, tratando de moderar y lidiar con el hambre insaciable de carne humana que conlleva ser un ghoul. Intenta adaptarse, descubriendo y conociendo a otros ghouls, que lo ayudan a comprender los cambios que ocurren en su cuerpo y cómo abordarlos. Es acogido por los miembros de un determinado café, Anteiku, un refugio seguro para ghouls que no quieren hacer daño a la comunidad ni a los humanos.

A lo largo del anime, vemos las luchas de Kaneki por convertirse en ghoul mientras intenta desesperadamente aferrarse a su humanidad. Toyko Ghoul es un anime conmovedor, con todas las historias desgarradoras que se cuentan, recuerdas nuevamente cómo el mundo realmente no es de alguna manera. Sientes cosas. Cosas que no se relacionan o te preocupan de alguna manera. Toyko Ghoul tiene mucha sangre y escenas realmente tristes. Quiero decir, Kaneki era solo un niño bueno, normal y aburrido, que se ocupaba de sus propios asuntos... No se merecía eso. No se merecía nada de eso, nada de lo que pasó.

'Ella dijo, "Cuidado o lo perderás"

Pero niña, solo soy humana

Y sé que hay una espada donde está tu corazón

Y tú sabes cómo usarla

Y puedes tomar mi carne si quieres, niña

Pero nena, no abuses de ella

Estas voces en mi cabeza, gritando, "Corre ahora"

Rezo para que sean humanas

Si no te importa ver sangre en exceso y órganos al azar aquí y allá en la pantalla de tu televisor o teléfono, creo que deberías ver Toyko Ghoul, si no lo has hecho. Es un anime realmente bueno. Aunque, se dejó caer un poco después de la temporada 1. Se hicieron muchas quejas sobre cómo las otras temporadas podrían haber sido mejores. Este es uno de esos animes que definitivamente merece un remake porque está 'en la cima'.
Gracias por leer ;)

When I watch this series, I was always excited especially during fighting scene and the intro of the song "Unravel" will start to play. It's been a long time, I kinda forgot some scene of this anime. Maybe I should rewatch it too 😻.

It was the first anime I saw in broadcasting and for which I decided to read the manga, there were important changes in the anime, but it was still one of my favorites in its time ❤️

I didn't complete the manga cause I was busy at some point but I will definitely do that now. Heard the manga is way better than the anime itself.

This anime is quite interesting, and since I don't mind seeing blood I think I'll give it a chance, because the plot caught my attention right away.

Este anime está bastante interesante, y como no me importa ver sangre creo que le daré una oportunidad, porque la trama llamó mi atención de inmediato.

I never felt special attraction to watch this anime, but I know it has a large fandom, so I guess it must be worth it. What I do like about this anime is its opening “Unravel”, it's a song I always listen to.

Thanks for sharing with the community. See you soon!

I really liked TG a lot, but they made too many bad decisions regarding its anime adaptation that I feel made people lose interest in it, I always recommend 100% to read the manga.


Realmente me gusto mucho TG, pero tomaron demasiadas malas decisiones con respecto a su adaptación al anime que siento que hizo que la gente perdiera el interés en este, siempre recomiendo al 100% leer el manga.

I had read its manga, and it's really great. You'll really say that Sui Ishida's art style evolved as it progressed. Yes... A lot of people were really complaining that the animation did bad, but personally I think it was decent. I've seen worse anime adaptations, so I guess those viewers just expected too much—but that's not really a nice reason to badmouth the ones who animated it because we can't really expect that it would be animated straight like it was portrayed in the manga...

So yeah, hopefully one of these days I can watch its anime (I didn't finish it because I got impatient and switched to manga ahaha).

You impatient lady!😭😂 You should find time to watch the anime,maybe during Christmas or something!
I haven't read the manga but I think I have it in my Christmas break bookings! I can't wait to leave this school and go home. Been in it for just two weeks and I already feel and look like shit.

You impatient lady!😭😂

Ahahaha yeah I am! And like you, I'm really looking forward to our Christmas break. School stuff are starting to take a toll on me ahuhuhuhu...

I really missed its opening song, and it's been years since I last watched the early eps (back then my impatience got better of me, so I ditched it for manga!). Hopefully, our Christmas break is long because I'm really planning on binge-watching a lot of anime during that break!

Es una serie intensa que realmente hace que reflexionemos sobre la humanidad y las decisiones difíciles. Estoy de acuerdo, a veces los comentarios negativos pueden arruinar la experiencia de alguien. Lo importante es disfrutar lo que nos gusta y ser respetuosos con las opiniones de los demás.

Sí. Énfasis en ser respetuoso con la opinión de los demás. La gente de Internet no tiene educación sobre esto :(
