I know worse

It's chuuni and super edgy, teenagers love this kind of garbage, it just can't be helped.

>>157406323
Wikipedia synopsis reads horribly. The Japanese needed a third bomb.

>>157406140
Cause the premise is pretty cool, the characters are fun and colorful, has some pretty nice music, interesting fight scenes and some pretty heavy ambiance. It's a good show.

>>157406323
This is pretty much porn, it doesn't count.

>>157406725
Its Japanese Twilight.

HAHAHA. But seriously we should ban "bait" threads.

get over yourself the manga is shit too

>>157407089
Not really, twilight is a love story before anything.
They didn't put time or effort into crafting well choreographed or executed fight scenes like they do in ghoul.

Also we take the perspective of someone who is just now joining the ghoul world, so we learn with him.

Twilights is a romance, drama
Ghoul is a gorey action shounen

>>157407243
Wow you totally convinced me!

>>157407363
>shounen
It's a seinen in every way.

From what I've read, isn't it the anime version of Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines?

>>157409056
Can't blame him. The anime looks shounen.

>>157409139
hahahahaha nope
it's your typical shounenshit with a barely fleshed out setting
there's nobody aside from humans, ghouls and hybrids unlike VTMB

>>157407363
They're both equally bad and the audience share the same age.

>>157409208
Bummer. Touka is cute.

>>157409139
>Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines?
I've never heard of this so had to look it up on Wikipedia, and it sounds nothing like Tokyo Ghoul, aside from monsters living alongside modern human society and the MC getting turned into a monster at the beginning, neither of which are are exactly specific or unique in any way.

Dear god you poor fool.

>>157406140
Because the manga is popular.

The first part is actually quite a good read but the sequel starts underwhelming, slowly gets better and then takes a nosedive halfway through.

The anime is just trash all the way. Especially the second season.

The premise is as alright as any premise is, it was the dodgy direction that really ruined it.

>>157406140
>Character designs and plot are nothing but edgy bullshit for menstrual 14 year olds.
Maybe because the target audience is menstrual 14 year olds. Most anime is not geared for you grandpa.
mcs like kaneki, eren and kirito are absolute cancer though, I doubt I would have liked any of them even as a middle schooler

He is right though. Edgy isn't inherantly bad. It gets bad when its handled or thrown around poorly.

The premise of Tokyo Ghoul is semi related to the premise of Evangelion. The main character has to learn to stop being a pussy because the idea of noble suffering is a fucking lie. "Noble" suffering is merely enabling the shorty people around you, and you have to wise up to the way of the world if you want to keep the people you care about safe. At the same time one can draw the line at being a complete monster, striking a balance is important.

If one is an actual edge lord or to NEET to comprehend the above point then both the anime and the manga are effectively incomprehensible.

tl;dr: the entire work is a refutation of the idea of noble suffering

>>157410912

I can tell, but those criticisms mean literally nothing.

Are there any batch downloads of Re:tard? I've run out of manga to read, so I may as well get to this.

Non Non Biyori has what is possibly the most arbitrary, stupid fucking premise of any series I've ever heard of. Character designs and plot are nothing but moe bullshit for virgin 30 year olds. How the fuck does this garbage have an audience?

First Tokyo Ghoul manga was fun and interesting.

Anime was hot garbage and the sequel manga is hot garbage because the writer is trying too hard to cater.

>>157410912

This, but saying "if you don't get it then it's incomprehensible" is a tautology. It's more "if you don't get it then it seems like pointless edge instead of a running metaphor". Life is inherently grisly and living can feel like cannibalism.

>>157406140

>trying too hard to cater
that's not a problem with re
the problem is a garbage pacing, garbage art, no interesting hype moments, and barely any interesting character interactions

>>157411834
>the sequel manga is hot garbage because the writer is trying too hard to cater

So what, is it just wall-to-wall gay sex and cannibalism? Because that's all the Western fans seem to care about

>>157411721
I don't really like either, but at least SoLfags have the decency to admit that they're only watching this because it's cute and calming, can't say the same about TGfags, who unironically believe that their shitty edgyfest battle manga is somehow deep and complex, or even worse comparing it fucking EVA.

>>157409665
>kaneki, eren and kirito
Are all extremely different characters, the only reason I can imagine comparing them in a lineup is if you're judging them to be the same bland MC archetype just based on a cursory glance at their semi-long, straight hair and late-teens appearance.

You're just embarassing yourself at this point. And for the record, this is my first contribution to the conversation, I'm none of the guys you've been baiting up until this point.

>>157412289
>Angry self insert characters
I don't remember if Kirito was really an edgy mad brat like Kaneki and Eren, but they're similar.

>>157410912
B-but anon, he's weak and pathetic at the beginning and there's lots of gore, that means it's pointless edgy garbage, I just know it does!

>>157410152
Not even.

Elfen Lied was fun

>>157412110
You can find all kinds of people watching all kinds of shit for all kinds of reasons.
The point was that OP is borderline shitposting with that buzzword filled drivel.

>>157412396
IIRC the only time Kirito ever showed anger was at the end of the Alfheim arc when the worst villain ever written was literally raping his waifu infront of him. 99% of the time Kirito is supposed to be a cool, calm, and collected badass, but bad writing just makes him completely bland, inconsistent, and uninteresting.
Kaneki isn't angry at all either. He goes through some arguably edgy phases, but never anger or rage. Even his edgiest point is during the first section of the manga before he gets tortured, because he has a boner for tragedies and is a fucking loser thrust into a suffering-filled world. Then he develops and begin taking a very active role in trying to change the broken society he lives in through way of force, and ultimately where the manga is now, he is just seeking as wide a viewpoint as possible to truly understand this world before trying to properly "fix" it, he has tons of friends and allies, and hasn't really hated any of his enemies. It's been a LONG time since he was edgy, and even longer since he was remotely close to "angry".
I can understand the misconception if you're an anime-only, though.
Eren's the angriest one you listed but even then the fans overplay his anger a lot because "kill all titans" is his primary stated objective, but considering that the vast, vast majority of characters he interacts with are not titans, it's not like he goes around screaming at people. And the few people who ended up being titans and ruining his life had already built up relationships with him before the reveals, so his encounters with them are very much a mix of anguish and their "betrayals", while he strengthens his convictions and resolves to defeat them anyway.

Kirito's the only self-insert here, unless you count "oh man I wish I was in their position, here's what I'd do in the circumstances instead" as self-inserting, which it's not.

>>157412837
Sure, but it doesn't change the fact that TGfags are a embarrassing bunch.

>>157412907
Well, can't argue with that desu.

I love edgy shit. Black lagoon, requiem for a phantom, Deathnote and darker than edge and are all fun to watch. It's just this one seemed a little too eager, like why does he wear the mask and bleach his hair after his torture. It reminds me of guilty crown where shou decided to do a 360 and walk away from his usual beta persona, with an added cape.

Still need more edge though.

>>157406140
>arbitrary
The only arbitrary thing is why they can drink coffee.
>>157412416
Far from it.There's hardly any real gore and nobody fucking dies
If you want to see edgy gore go read Deadtube

Pokemon Kagune, Kagune Bunshin no Jutsu, plotholes out the wazoo and "lol so edgy randumb memeclown keikaku" main antagonist.

And yes, fujobaiting.

>>157411933
I don't know if it is.

What I do know is that it's like Kubo took over Tokyo Ghoul. From shitty dialogue, to asspulls, to blank backgrounds, to forced cringy romances, to hamfisted cliffhangers.

>>157412416

You mock, but that's what entry level people actually think.

>>157414004
Such is why I mock.

>>157406323
Good. Stupid. Fun.

>>157409852
Stop fucking misusing edgy, it's obvious you're underage when you do this. Edgy does not mean "trying too hard to be dark" or "melancholic" It fucking means trying too hard to be cool or flashy.

>>157406140
Interesting all around, but the show didn't really go anywhere with the story, no idea about the manga

>>157414332
>no idea about the manga
Much better, the first season covers the most boring and uninteresting part of the manga, which just involves Kaneki adjusting to ghoul life and learning about the world. The second season completely butchers literally everything from the manga that it can and if anyone has watched it before reading the manga, I can only give my strongest recommendations to forget everything you saw.
So if you found anything interesting about the story in season 1, try out the manga.

>>157406323
woof thats bad

>>157409056
You're right it is a seinen, the anime feels like a shounen besides some key moments from the manga.

>If I dont like it, you shouldn't like it neither ok? b-because I say so

>>157412901

And then he is tortured until he goes insane and is only now going on with what people expect him to be doing because helping his friends is the only thing keeping him from killing himself
