Shu’s dinner plans are pretty devilish. He intends to eat Ken as Ken is eating a human victim. Leave it to the dandy to make a show out of eating. If he had been a true mastermind, however, he [...]

This week I have a lot studying to do, so this post is gonna be sort of lazy, especially since I feel like a broken record talking about Tokyo Ghoul at this point. Spoiler alert: I still really don’t [...]

In what’s essentially the second delectable episode in the Tsukiyama arc, Touka kicks, Kaneki punches and Nishio crawls. It’s like rock, paper, scissors —  zombie style. Tokyo Ghoul continues to be a [...]

I can’t imagine anything much worse than being amongst a group of people in a land unfamiliar while you’re on your own. Sure, you can worry about things like horrible ways to die, the presence of God [...]

This week picks up right where the last left off: Ken meeting the flamboyant ghoul “gourmet” and bon vivant, Tsukyama Shuu, voiced by Miyano Mamoru who purrs most of his lines with a silky menace. [...]

Apparently humanity’s solution in their battle against ghouls is to hire humans who are even creepier than the ghouls. Just as a heads-up for those few who weren’t already aware of it: Nickelodeon has [...]

We get to see a bit more of Touka’s life outside of Anteiku. Despite her telling Kaneki to keep ghoul life separate from their human lives, she too has human friends that she cares about. She tries to [...]

「晩餐」 (Bansan) "Supper" As anime episodes go, that one was quite the slap in the face. The post Tokyo Ghoul – 04 appeared first on Random Curiosity.

I’ve had my fill for the week, thanks. Impressions: What an awful episode following on the tail of the abysmal one last week. Our protagonist continues to simply wander from point A to B at the behest [...]

This very well could be my favorite show of the season. And not for any spectacular reasons either. It’s as though I come into this show with questions, but instead of giving them to me, it decides to [...]
