Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog! Today, I'm bringing you one of the famous animes, which is none other than Tokyo Ghoul. This is one of the best animes I have ever watched. Recently, I have only watched season 1, and I am planning to watch a few more seasons later, as they have 4 seasons, which is a lot for me. I find it difficult to watch long-term animes, but I hope to make it. Right now, I will share my point of view with you along with the story of the anime.

The trailer does not express much about the story, but I guessed it was related to our protagonist, Kaneki, who has gotten himself into something. One of his eyes looked scarier while the other appeared normal, so I guessed it's something like half demon and half human because I have heard stories like this before. Anyway, I have already seen many good reviews about it, so I became interested.

To save Kaneki the organs of Rize was transplanted into him by the surgeons. As a result Kaneki became a half-ghoul and a half-human hybrid.

Review

There's a lot of things that I have heard about this anime, let's leave that because I will be honest about it so, in my opinion Tokyo Ghoul has very unique storyline. When I first started watching season 1, I felt it was kinda murderous and the bloody scenes and I thought that was all about this anime nothing special. But after completing few more episodes of it, I could clearly understand the concept and plot of the anime. I really enjoyed the concept of Ghoul, it is basically about human flesh-eating creature's in the anime which is kinda like the zombies. But Tokyo Ghoul has additional storyline that makes it unique and better than other animes.

From the beginning I was fully invested in the anime, I love the main character Kaneki we can see his perspective what he goes through and it's saddenning that nobody understands his pain. Also, the characters of the series were absolutely amazing and fun to watch on screen. Moreover, the friendship between Kaneki and Hide is so sweet and entertaining. I could see how much Kaneki cared for his friend and giving his best to protect him at any cost. It's rare to see friendships like that in real life. But anime is giving me high hopes to find friends like that.

I could not resist sharing this opening song of Tokyo Ghoul; it's just amazing beyond my expectations. I do not easily like any intro song, but this one has captured my heart. 'Unravel' is one of the best Japanese songs I have ever heard; it's a blessing to my ears. I am going to keep it in my playlist. Even if you haven't watched the anime, just listen to this song for a while, and you will also fall in love with it.
