Tokyo Ghoul: Review

Tokyo ghoul is an anime about a world filled with “ghouls” which are people who look like humans but find human food disgusting. Instead, they have to eat humans. The only thing from the human world that they like coffee.
Ken Kaneki the main character was a book nerd but only one real friend. He was at a coffee shop when he saw this girl he thought was pretty, and he wanted to ask her out on a date.
When he finally did they bonded over their love for reading and a specific author.
Near the end of the date this woman tried to kill him because she wanted to eat him. She turned out to be a ghoul.
Nothing that night went according to plan. She died and Kaneki turned into a ghoul.
He painfully finds out by trying to eat his favorite food and seeing that it is now absolutely disgusting and is making him sick. Through this he finds out he’s a ghoul and is now realizing that by the cause of one night his entire life has changed.

I really enjoyed watching all three seasons of this show.
At some parts it made me happy and others it made me very sad. It got me emotionally invested and pulled at my heartstrings.
It did take me awhile to finish it but I finally did it and man do I not regret a thing.
(I might have almost cried at the end btw)
I know it’s not a lot of people’s cup of tea but I guess it was definitely mine.
Recommend to anyone even if you think it looks disgusting you should still give it a chance.

Over all a good anime.
