A Fresh Start

The original Tokyo Ghoul anime was groundbreaking when it first dropped in 2014. However, the adaptation had a lot of flaws which were even more apparent to manga readers. The rushed pacing, lack of depth and overall narrative changes were a loss against the manga. Scenes like Kaneki realizing he was a ghoul depicted no intense feelings unlike in the manga.
