So I just finished Tokyo Ghoul...
“Anything is okay, as long as everyone is harmless and understands each other.” This is the pervading philosophy of our age, rooted in Jacques Derrida’s post-structural philosophy, which has uprooted morality as we've known it as but a mere convention of words and attachments to their meanings.
Put all of this crap in the hands of the Japanese and add a dash of teenage angst? You get
Tokyo Ghoul
.
While I find it personally gut wrenching and unfathomable to narrate the social injustice of flesh-eating monsters, I nod in defeat as I admit this is a very well written and constructed story, drawing out empathy for me as would anyone living in this age of civil rights.
I'll cut it short and give it a 7.5/10. Tsukiyama was the only original character, not my style musically (I did not like the OP/ED), this is basically what I'd expect from a 21st century animation.
“Loddfafnir, listen to my counsel: You will fare well if you follow it, It will help you much if you heed it. If aware that another is wicked, say so: Make no truce or treaty with foes.”
