With season 1 and 2 being high 8s or 9s.Tokyo Ghoul ( Japanese: 東京喰種 ( トーキョーグール ), Hepburn: Tōkyō Gūru) is a Japanese dark fantasy manga series written and illustrated by Sui Ishida. At the end, after 2 viewings, I believe this season is a high 7, even 8 out of 10. I enjoyed this season far more on 2nd viewing as I understood the various characters better and could follow the story arch in more depth.

I thought the main villain was a little weak to be honest, but there were many secondary bad guys that were very memorable, particular the priest. Character archs come to fruition in mostly satisfying ways and the season as a whole was ultimately very enjoyable. The story has loads of pay-offs that you're hoping for and the story is very engaging. That being said, the 2nd half of the season is much much better. I was very annoyed at where the series had gone. This is probably why the reviews for this season are so mixed! And to be honest, I originally gave this season a 5/10. What makes matters more challenging is the change in animation style, with various characters looking different. Various MAJOR changes have taken place without any explanation or context regarding integral (and much loved) characters which is extremely confusing and ultimately leads to initial frustration. This season jumps ahead into the future, and without having read the original manga, the story is very confusing for the 1st half of the season. The 1st 2 seasons were really fantastic and were a continuation of the same timeline.
