Tokyo Ghoul :re Opening Review (Video - Music - Lyrics)

After all the hate that the Opening of Tokyo Ghoul Root A has received, it looks like Studio Pierrot has tried to make up for that atrocious failure and pleased us with a relatively good Opening for this new season of Tokyo Ghoul.

MUSIC
Music is sure the thing most fans were concerned about since the Opening of Root A. In my opinion, the voice of this new opening is very good, with nice shifts and tones, and is perfectly in Sync with the Music itself, which has surprised me quite a lot. Like in all the previous intros we have some sick piano plays, the drops sound awesome, also because the voice follows them perfectly. The Guitar work is also astonishing. At a certain point I could also hear some Xylophone notes that melt perfectly with the theme. The way it closes is very sudden, almost like it was cut. This is because it actually was. But it doesn't sound as bad as I first thought. Overall, it can not beat unravel.

VIDEO
The Video mainly shows off all the main Characters of the Series. One thing I noticed is that certain characters like Torso do not appear, leading me to believe they wanted to showcase only characters that will have more presence than others through the series. The factions showcases were also awesome. I particularly liked the one of Juuzou's Squad and Rosewald / Washuu ones.
There are also certain fighting scenes such as Sasaki VS Eto during the Tsukiyama Extermination Operation and Ayato scattering his Crystals from his Kagune from above. I found the Kakuja of Eto a bit weird since the Animation simply stops for a split second in the end before transacting to the next scene.
It's important to notice how Furuta was pictured in this Opening. It looks like they are hinting to the public that Furuta is not on the good side, and I think this shouldn't have been done, because it ruins the tension and element of surprise for the Anime-Only watchers. But that's the only flaw I've noticed.
I also liked how Amon's face was hidden while Takizawa's was openly shown, probably because of how unrecognizable he is. The fact that Amon is showcase in the same scene and right after Akira though is probably enough to give away his Identity.

LYRICS
I found the Lyrics decent but nothing particular. I believe the Lyrics of the first 2 Openings were better, assuming that the Translation I've gotten is right. There's not much to say about them. They mainly tell about the trouble that Sasaki has with Kaneki.

Final Rating: Pretty Damn Good and Enjoyable, I listen to it every now and then.

Black Reaper - Tokyo Ghoul :re Episode 12 Review

WATCH EPISODE 12 What a run and beautiful series we had. Sadly, the time has come, the time where I review its last episode. Nothing to fear, though, the premiere for the Second Season of Tokyo Ghoul :re is rumored to happen in October of this Very Year. Anyways, let's get back to this episode. I have some complaints, like many others, I believe certain scenes didn't have an equal impact than they had in the Manga. Can I let that slide? Partially. The scenes were still well drawn, well Animates, the text was similar if not the exact same, so what's wrong with them? Hard to explain. In the Manga they simply looked cooler I'm guessing. The fight between Kaneki and Eto was wonderful. I expected it to be carried by Asphyxia in all honesty, but sadly, it wasn't the case and that's probably for the better. It was well Animates, no important scenes were skipped. Shirazu's death was well made, his Kagune looked a bit weird I have to say, and Noro...

Tokyo Ghoul :re Episode 8 Review

WATCH EPISODE 8 Yet another solid episode, what can I say. While the sound-track is becoming a little repetitive, it's still very good. The introduction of new characters was also well done, and it was animated particularly well. Kanae's flashback was also very well done, even thought Trukiyama looked a little bit dull in it, I guess his suit wasn't of the best colors back then. I don't know why I felt I had to mention such thing, but moving on, there's one thing this Anime is focusing on that I might actually like, that being the relationship between Ayato and Hinami. Also worth mentioning how different Ayato looks in the Flashback, he looks nothing alike his TG Season 1 counterpart. I am agreeing a lot with the panels the Anime decided to adapt and cut. So far it has been focusing on what's important, the relationship between Shirazu and Nutcracker (as a Quinque) is a good example for this. And Mutsuki's gender is constantly being hinted to be Fe...

Tokyo Ghoul :re Chapter 171 Review

READ CHAPTER This chapter was very focused towards the past of certain characters. I was expecting something more from it, things such as Renji releasing a Kakuja or something but I guess what we've got is more than enough. The conversation between Uta and Yomo was very deep, I liked it, even thought I still can't fully understand Uta or how Yomo managed to bring him to his knees like that, unless Uta himself was just playing a Role like he's always been doing. Meanwhile the fight between Amon and Donato has been apparently brought to an end. Even thought I'm fairly sure that hit that Amon striked on Donato wasn't enough to take him down. In fact, I believe Donato's abilities could easily match the ones of someone like Eto for instance. He hasn't gone full out yet, and I wonder if he buries some kind of feelings towards Amon, perhaps similar to the feelings Amon has towards him. Donato could easily take down Amon in a blast, I'm pretty sure of that. I...
