The Two Sides of this Board.

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
I appreciate the balls to just dedicate the entirely of the last episode to a torture scene. There's no closure whatsoever. They gave no shit lol

I'll be impressed if they manage to take the generic mediocre Black Clover and turn it into a clusterfuck too.
Feels like Pierrot only cares for the Naruto franchise these days.
 
What kind of stupid season finale puts all the action at the end of the episode? And we didn't even get to see the other fights. This is honestly the dumbest an anime has gotten on Toonami. How do kids even like this? There's so many more edgy anime that actually have a good structure. Christ, man. Time for Hunter x Hunter.

So... was there a point to the torture other than it to give Kaneki a power up?

I think it's supposed to be that: Kaneki's tendency to hesitate lead to more suffering than there needed to be, and after experiencing both his own suffering and the suffering of others, he is now determined to act more readily and whatnot - even if there are some consequences. They tried to tie his dying mother into this revelation.

I missed several episodes, and I'm giving this more consideration than I should.

I look forward to this week's ToonamiGaf podcast LOL

The sad part is I know exactly what they were going for with this and can recognize that they had the moment required for this change like half-way through the season.

That's about what I got from it. The issue is they could have gotten here a few episodes earlier and without any of the torture porn.
 
Remember when Anteiku was going to come and save Kaneki?
WHAT? Wait, what? You're right! The fuck happened to the entire rescue mission??!#()*!&$(*@ Or the battle outside! Or the bar owner? Or... ALL OF THAT CRAP they spent half the season hyping up with surrounding the Doves.

..................fuck.

The Tokyo Ghoul anime has pretty much nothing to do with the manga, except for Season 1 theoretically covering the same events.
