Review 47; Tokyo Ghoul (Gimp Masks Everywhere)...

So I've been told time and time again, not just by you guys, but also close friends and web friends to watch this... But was it worth it?

The majority of you just haven't shut up about this, I've had messages, I've had comments and I've had my friends bugging me to watch this. If anything everyone seems pretty hyped up about the anime. But i hadn't actually watched or seen any images to do with this anime until, i think, two or three weeks ago.
So even my boyfriend had started to bug me about watching this, so i gave it ago and i swear to god the main character just likes gimp masks or something.

So as soon as the anime started i began to hate it, if you read any of my reviews then you would know that i hate the panty flashing and the big boobed princesses that some animes have. It wasn't too bad, but it was still there which bugged me just a litttleeee bit.
So we start of with our main character becoming friends with a young woman who just happens to be a Ghoul (He doesn't know), she ends up turning on him and attempting to eat him alive... But just by Coincidence , there's an accident which means that she is killed and he lives by a thread. so obviously their smart enough to give him parts of the Ghouls body which then turns him into a half Ghoul half human thing. 

so at first i thought that the Ghoul concept was pretty weird; If they try to eat human food it's bloody disgusting and they spit it out straight away, also if they swallow it they could potentially be very ill... which i get because if your a different species then it's understandable but the whole taste thing bugs me because i think that Humans could of tricked ghouls and killed them secretly by doing stuff with human meat instead of just killing ghouls.
Also all Ghouls seem very kinky and are into gimp masks; So most of the characters go to some guy who makes masks so they can hide from police or the authorities, and then they all seem to have an orgasm when they eat meat or see a human being killed... So it was quite awkward for me to watch since i didn't expect any of that. 

Our main character called Ken Kaneki looks so innocent and sweet in the beginning and i loved the fact that he was completely oblivious to practically everything that was going on. But near the end of the first season he turns badass and his hair is white and he always wears the gimp mask and he takes a SERIOUSLY un-expected change of heart which made me hate him just a little bit more.
But i loved the first season, but near the end of the second season the animation of the anime as a whole turned rather shit and disappointed me; in fact, i only watched a few episodes of the second season because people said it got even worse, so i picked out episodes and watched them and then got the internet to fill me in on parts. 

Ken Kaneki; is seriously shy and his best friend is pushy and comes across as a loud mouth. So his mother died from over working herself and he doesn't have any family, all he has is his close friend; so he lives in an apartment by himself and goes to school with his friend and he seems like a very average person all in all... But when the Ghouls body parts are placed in him and he starts to realize what humans are really like to these unfortunate creatures, he takes an unsightly turn and just starts to hate everyone in existence... which is seriously strange to believe when he was so innocent and you kind wanted to grab his cheeks and cuddle him because you wanted to wind him up.
But i felt so, so, so bad for him in the beginning because of everything that happened, but at the end of the first season i seriously started to hate him it made me love the other characters that i hated in the beginning. 

I bloody hated the Ghoul hunters though; once they kill a ghoul they take their weapon ,which in most cases, is tucked inside their body somewhere and it breaks out when they need it. So it was upsetting when they took a dead womans weapon so they could kill her daughter too; i literally wanted to cry when i saw the tease her and make her upset. She was one of those cute characters that i wanted to hug. 

So did i like it? Yes i fucking did, the character designs where un-usual especially when you think "This adorable little kid is actually a human eating machine" Or when you see their weapons which become even awesomier as you go along. But i was over all quite disappointed with the second season and i didn't see the point in watching it all of the way through. But the little bits that i picked out where still averagely good to watch, but good knows what happened to the animators... Maybe they where drunk or something?
It was good and very enjoyable, i don't know if i would re-watch the whole thing again though; maybe the last half of the first season and if i had the time i might actually watch the whole of the second season just to see if it really is that bad altogether.
It's a little bit on the gory side (Not as bad as the other things i've seen), But it isn't completely disgusting that you don't watch it; some sites even go to the lengths of blurring out the blood just for those who want to watch it but don't like the gore, so just look out for those if you don't enjoy all of the blood and stuffing your face with intestines

I also fell in love with the art style in this one, the way that the weapons formed and took shape was pretty interesting to me... So there's something else to look out for.
