The censorship remains though I would say it's bit less egregious lately. No idea why AoT could get away with its gore and TG can't. ;(
I don't think the inverted colors are for censorship. It's just a style thing.
I actually think that the censorship makes everything seem worse than it actually is, although some of the (ep 9-11 spoiler)
torture scenes
Does AoT Season 2 get that much more gruesome than season 1? I thought the violence in AoT season 1 (what's been on toonami anyway) is positively child's play compared to what TG would be without some censorship.
Watch Aldnoah ZeroTermInaho has no such problems
I just realised Aldnoah and TG have the same voice actors for their main duo's. :O
Really ? I would have to rewatch it but my from my memory they went farther than TG. For example they had no qualms about showing severed limbs while Ghoul felt the need to censor it in EP's 1,2,6,8. Second season of AoT is on par with the first I would say, maybe even bit lower on the gore scale
Question for manga readers, should I avoid ep 12? I am worried that it will spoil something that happens much later just for it to have an ending.
I was quite enjoying this, shame they condensed and chopped and changed so much. Kaneki going from being captured to being tortured straight after made me check to see if I had skipped some episodes by accident.

Hmm.. damn. So this is the end of the Anime? Like, it just... ends. On a cliffhanger. I dont know, Id probably have appreciated it if they gave the Anime a satisfying ending - even if its not in the Manga lol
Oh well, If they did one thing - then its making me go read the Manga right now lol.

No, they stopped at a cliffhanger, I remember hearing that the anime will continue after the next season. If that's true I would just wait for the anime.
I read the manga beforehand up to the latest, even though the anime cut a lot of stuffs out, it is a lot more impactful than the manga. I think it got to do with the horrible art in the manga. The sound effects and voice acting made the whole experience a lot more "colorful".

from reading this thread I see that they neutered the torture scene, the most impactful/unique/disturbing part the series.(after that I ended getting bored and dropped it)
They might as well have not done an anime if they weren't going to do that scene justice

I've heard the opposite, actually. The anime adaptation has its problems, but Episode 12 has generally been well-received.
If anything, it greatly boosted the popularity and awareness of the manga, especially outside of Japan. Though, the manga is now over so it didn't capitalize on that for very long.

I just read it after watching the anime and it's worse.
I liked the final episode, but now that I read the manga I can see why it's rushed.
so much left unanswered in the anime, surely they will have another season?

ganna give this a go thaaaaaaaaaaanks
Don't quote me on this but yes it should be.
Tokyo Ghoul 12
Thankfully Pierrot saved the budget for this one, the execution was impeccable. Great episode,the best of the show, Though I wish now they didn't spoil that moment in the opening. I did expect to see more of Doves and Anteiku but now that I think of it, it would only break the flow of this episode. I would have liked still more graphic depiction of the torture and I don't think the OP song meshed well with the combat but I can't really nitpick anything else. Good stuff. I hope it will get another season.
Rize for the best motivational speaker of 2014. Really liked how she ripped into Kaneki's mother.
Also it was hilarious to see them end it the same way they ended the first episode.

I've read that part of the manga and the torture in anime seemed much worse. It was censored, but it felt a lot longer and the sounds..dear God..the sounds. I was watching with headphones and when he put that bug inside his ear the screen turned black and they set up the sound of the bug moving and chewing in a way that made me feel like it crawled into my own ear. Awesome

^ Was just about to post that.
Agreed about the sound effects. They were really great and so was was the background music and voice actor's performances.
Are the torture scenes in manga intertwined with the Aogiri/CCG/Anteiku stuff outside ? Don't really want to get spoiled on those if we get a sequel so soon.

So how many episodes is this current season going to be?
I haven't read the manga yet nor caught up on any production information but I'm heavily interested in it.
This weeks episode was pretty awesome, imo, but the censoring irritated me quite a bit. I want to see the gore ;/

The current season ended with 12 episodes. Next should also be 12 episode.
Glad its continuing.
Simply stupendous, was it wrong that I was cheering Ms. Rize for her lashing towards Kaneki? Can't wait for season 2 =D!Don't quote me on this but yes it should be.

The last two episodes were some of the hardest I've had to watch in a while. Torture scenes tend to unnerve me in a cliched way, but watching Kaneki's mental barriers slowly corrode and break down just made this even more disturbing.
I really hope the next episode is just 23 minutes of Kaneki devising new ways to out-torture the piece of shit, though I'm much more worried of what will be left of his mental state once it's all over.
Nice guys truly finish last.
Also season 2 starts in January, so I won't have to wait too long: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/new...o-ghoul-anime-season-begins-in-january/.78943

The anime ended roughly around 65-66, before the end of Yamori and Kaneki's struggle. There are 143 chapters in the manga, although it's sometimes hard to gauge where the anime is at all times due to skipping/reordering events or altering them.
Really wish this had been given two 26 episode seasons. It's not going to be anyone's favourite anime but it's strangely compelling and the action is quite well animated.
I also thought the torture scene in the anime had more impact than in the manga despite all the censorship thanks to all the screams and crunches and seeing that insect animated. The manga has some pacing issues after the ward 12 action, the CGG folks aren't as interesting as the ghouls but i'll stay with it.

It definitely is, I expect an announcement for a sequel manga in the near future.

Just finished watching Tokyo Ghoul, its started off slow but after the first few episodes, its been brilliant ever since.
I dont know what everyone is complaining about.
Tokyo Ghoul is right up there with Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood and Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion R1.

I wouldn't go that far but I agree that second half of the show was pretty good. (Only watched FMA:B)
Kaneki learned so much from his foster mum. ;_;
Been reading bits of manga and I actually like the added appearances of Jason, Mado and Amon.(Though not the rushing through chapters.) It made the arcs seem less artificial and brought some sense of closure to the season in the finale. (As much as was possible under the circumstances)The torture in manga wasn't really more graphic, they just showed
Dissapointed. -_-

I was really shocked at the finger cracking in this anime series.
Mainly because I crack my fingers too and I do it the exact same way by cracking my knuckles using the one hand.
I thought that was something only I did haha

I watched all 12 in the past couple of days. Very fun. I don't know anything about this, and just on a whim decided to watch it. Alot of wasted potential, as you can tell it was super rushed/condensed. Going by the thread, that seems to be the case. But there's hope! A second season in just a few months? Fuck yes.

yay! here's hoping there won't be any timeskip and kaneki stays as the protagonist
edit: just saw the picture, that doesn't look like kaneki..... hmmm
Cool. I was hoping that manga ending wasn't the actual ending.

Been really wanting to check this show out but I've been worried about the censorship ruining the experience for me. Is it that bad? Should I wait until the uncensored DVDs come out?
The censorship is pretty bad especially in the first half. At this point I would wait.
No one seems to have posted the teaser here ....

This is interesting. I have not read the manga, but it being a separate direction fascinates me.
