I'm so mad that I finished everything I needed to do before Toonami for once

Thank god that HxH and Lupin are good, fun shows

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.

the anime skips over a good deal of his hesitation in tapping into his ghoul powers because he doesn't feel he can control it, which heavily figures into this moment so it's kind of weird without that buildup (though again it's still got some issues in the manga)

"hmmm, how can I make people confused about Kurapika's gender even MORE?"

No, I mean why was he being tortured? What point did it serve his captors? I get that Jason is a psycho but I mean... I don't know. Whatever.

Minor HxH spoiler

Spoiler

isn't it funny how Kurapika's disguise makes him look like Kite?

 

[Moaradin]

The fact that Pierrot dedicated the entire last episode to that scene with no closure whatsoever just leads me to believe that they REALLY wanted to adapt that scene, but didn't give a shit about everything leading up to it that would actually make it impactful lol.

 

[Mizerman]

hey guys I'm back, how was Tokyo Ghoul

You were lucky to avoid it.

 

[ramoisdead]

hey guys I'm back, how was Tokyo Ghoul

You missed out on some hilarious awful shit.

 

[Man God]

Crap Puka's rain gear cracks me up.

 

[Raxus]

Killua wearing his Yoko Ono outfit I see.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Hunter x Hunter, the manga, came back this week, you guys. We're truly blessed.

 

[Morlas]

can confirm marathon shopping is torture

 

[Crocodile]

THIS MUST BE THE WORK OF AN ENEMY STAND!!!!!

Anyway, was Season 2 for Tokyo Ghoul confirmed before Season 1 ended? That would have been a bad/weird ending if it wasn't confirmed there would be more anime later

 

[cntr]

Why haven't they done that yet?

GW's been getting their shit together, so here's hoping!

 

[Shard]

Getting a strange Ocean 11 vibe from this planning.

 

[Grexeno]

I NEED THIS WHOLESOMENESS

 

[B-Dubs]

He's a crazy person. Honestly, it did feel contrived. It's like the writer had an idea for something cool (what we got) and had to find a way to justify it.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Season 2 is even more of a shitshow than season 1.

There's no way after seeing what we just seen.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

Well it looks like I missed that train wreck.

Can't say I'm envious.

 

[BatDan]

i forgot that they made Kurpika look like a woman for this part

Spoiler

Or rather Kite, who I shouldn't have to spoil but the anime cut him out for later

 

[Moaradin]

I don't think so.

 

[Htown]

"hmmm, how can I make people confused about Kurapika's gender even MORE?"

Right?

 

[B-Dubs]

They still don't have a picture of Kurapika or Melody.

 

[Toad.T]

I hope the Lupin tonight has no cuts to it. That's all i'm saying.

 

[Xe4]

Kurapika is a damn good crossdresser. Not even gonna lie. It helps he's already super effeminate.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

No, I mean why was he being tortured? What point did it serve his captors? I get that Jason is a psycho but I mean... I don't know. Whatever.

we got a little bit of it last episode in that Jason is sort of seeking to recreate the moment he was "created" as a separate personality when he himself was tortured and it's the only way he can feel like alive or in control or something (i forget); they skipped his monologue about this.

 

[TheChits]

Man I love Chrollo

 

[Imperial Bishop]

There's no way after seeing what we just seen.

Believe it, baby. We've haven't even reached the summit of Edge Mountain yet.

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

The Phantom Troupe theme. I love the OST of this series so much.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Guys, is it weird to say that Franklin is handsome? Like, he's supposed to be Frankenstein but the dude has good facial structure.

 

[BatDan]

Chrollo made quite an error.
But now it's all coming together

 

[Zonic]

"certain body parts"

UUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[B-Dubs]

And they just put it together

 

[Morlas]

York new city. this girl is a freak lol

 

[Shard]

Putting the pieces together.

 

[ramoisdead]

Nobunaga really wants to meet Kurapika.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Oh crap. They're coming for you, Kurapika!

 

[BatDan]

Feels good to have new chapters alongside the dub premieres

 

[Schadenfreude]

Kortopi's En is ridiculously strong.

 

[cntr]

According to a friend, Season 2 of Tokyo Ghoul is basically anime-original but loosely based on the manga "in an uncanny valley" way. Oh, and they skip several arcs and omit several characters anyway. And the animation is worse.

Hey, Kortopi!

 

[Seda]

2500 meters is a mile and a half. They are pretty close.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Nobunaga looks so happy to kill the chain user

 

[Man God]

Melody is a good person.

 

[Mizerman]

"hmmm, how can I make people confused about Kurapika's gender even MORE?"

I know, right?

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Chrollo put his shirt on to go outside

 

[Morlas]

does melody ever come back after this arc?

Spoiler

does she die?

 

[SparksterMeta0]

"That's a hell of an ear."

 

[B-Dubs]

Kortopi's En is ridiculously strong.

There's a time limit as a result.

 

[Shard]

The game is getting heated and much more dangerous.

 

[ramoisdead]

I think Melody is gonna pull a clutch move soon.
