This and...
...this! The new OP didn't really do anything for me if I'm being honest... Maybe it's a grower? Excellent episode, the action and animation was great whilst the plot is throwing up more unexpected surprises. Roll on next week! |

Season 2, Episode 1
You really can't expect someone to go through that and come out the same person, and he certainly has not come out the same. Although the fallout only being now in the second season makes it feel a bit too disconnected, kind of makes me think of Shakugan no Shana's last season which had a big problem. The people who were supposedly bad outside of the obvious psychos also seem like they have more to them than we thought. It looks like this will be a different season at least. |

Good eppie. Gawd, I love me them slick production values. I wish Kaneki would have been a bit more spoiler[understanding with Touka:
*drops bombshell, then leaves silently*] ...but he has had a tough night at the office, so I'll cut him some slack. Anyway, good start to a series I had soured on a bit due to its torture revelry/lack of resolution in the finale of season 1. |

Has the new season been picked up for streaming in the UK? Wakanim had the stream for the first season but doesn't seem to have bothered with this one, and Funimation is only available in the US apparently.

I have no inside knowledge on it, but yeah, I would chalk it up to them likely being difficult to produce in quantity, and also probably dangerous to use. Even the "base" mode could still be risky for all we know, and without proper testing, they could cause more harm than good. It's kinda like saying to a modern soldier, "we have this new body armor that works by explosively flinging armor panels out to deflect shots, which could allow you to take just about any bullet or even a rocket launcher and survive it, buuuuut it might just implode your internal organs, we aren't sure, haven't done the proper testing yet. You want in?" |

Season 2, episode 2:
Not much happening in terms of spoiler[action but we do get a re-introduction of the other main characters including Hinami and Amon. Now I wonder how Kaneki will be able to handle the responsibility, to be teamed up with those ghouls...] spoiler[Touka seems to be a bit busy herself too.] |

Things went back to normal, more or less.
It was pretty quiet this time too. More time was dedicated to investigators & the aftermath. We didn't get to see much of Kaneki.. Next episode could offer more excitement. |

Season 2, Episode 2
A few things spotted in the episode to think about. The doves mentioned in the past aspoiler[ big bad ghoul by the name of the Owl, and implication seems to be that it is the owner of the café]. We saw two other [spoiler]one-eyed ghouls, so we know that there are more like him[, maybe someone making more(/spoiler]. On another note I kind of miss the goofy bits that were at the end of episodes. Last edited by DuskyPredator on Thu Jan 22, 2015 10:47 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Season 2, episode 3:
Hmm, it was an alright episode. spoiler[Hinami looks adorable in those clothes while Hide has a meeting with Touka. I'm curious to see what other roles he'll play for this season. Hoping for the best.] And as for impressions, spoiler[I think Gourmet made quite the presence there in the second half. Kaneki seems to be adapting well with Aogiri Tree though.] |

Making a move.
spoiler[One-eyed ghouls made an appearance.] Looks like they have some interest in spoiler[Kaneki]. Touka getting the spoiler[college experience.]. sort of. Things were pretty calm though. Felt more like a preparation for something more. |

I enjoyed the episode, but while this pacing is much more enjoyable for me, I have no goddamn idea how in only 9 episodes with this pacing is going to develop and conclude around 20 active characters right now with a few more still yet to be introduced
 I hope this is not becoming over-ambitious to its own sake that it's going to end abruptly.

Season 2, Episode 3
More than someone spoiler[making more half ghouls out of people, the girls seemed to have the exact same power as Kaneki], which has me think they are actually spoiler[still using Rize's body]. I wonder if we will get some reveal that spoiler[Rize is still alive]? We have some focus on other characters, but not quite the emotional and psychological part that was making some parts of the first season so effective. It would also appear that the girl spoiler[covered in bandages is probably the author we saw in this episode], which might mean something but I can't quite see what. If it was that he was a spoiler[fan of he author], then maybe that is something. |

Season 2, episode 4:
Finally, spoiler[business picked up this episode.] I thought spoiler[Amon did a decent job fighting. Same with Mado. Not sure how I feel about Kaneki fighting although I do think his powers have gotten better control since he fought on-screen from season 1. The fight involving him was a bit fast though imo and I bet that hit he took directly to the stomach hurt like hell. Overall a good way to deliver after the buildup with this group against the investigators. Kaneki also took quite a beating.... but we'll see if he can get his payback next time.] |

A small part of spoiler[Amon's past got revealed.]
Guess you can never run far enough from a messed up past. No wonder spoiler[he became an investigator. Aogiri attack] came at an interesting time. That spoiler[ghoul prison] sure offered a whole bunch of interesting characters. So the spoiler[halfling twins know Juzo... intriguing. Kaneki proved once more that he's a weakling..] |
