Poor at best

Well I don't get much of the reviews on this anime here..

I just finished watching both season.. while season 1 would have been more than enough with some study over the dominant specie and such.. nothing really original, seen that theme for instance in Chronicle (the movie).. but yeah why not? Graphic wise it's not bad, some will like, some like me will find it pretty generic, not the issue at hand Problem comes from the so called character development that so many here seem to praise.. it's typical from Japanese stories, the wuss that turns all badass overpowered for god knows what reason in matter of hours or days, same goes for the bad ass girl turning into a cry baby if to some it sounds like character development, to me it looks like a convenient switch to serve a so called plot purpose which at the end of season 2 still concern me...

As usual in anime we get those "heroic" moments which look SO out of style, so unrealistic to the limit that it just kicks your attention out of it and just wish the episode will end up faster to get over it.

Also we have those "mysterious" things that are supposed to make you go wooah, so COOL and stuff.. well it doesn't, I might grow too old for those things, cool poses, cool this cool that.. is NOT cool So while the first episodes of first season might look like some dark anime it's imply ISN'T, it's just the polish on a bland anime with random super power, some are totally useless gun fodder and some completely OP.. you expect that in anime like one piece or games like dynasty warriors, not in an anime that's supposed to be adult like and serious Soooo.. well am done with season 2, am not gonna bother checking if there is a third coming though there probably will be, since they added some "mysterious random white haired guy" at the end, some "shocking revelation totally not predictable" and so on..

if you want dark and gore go for Attack on Titans, if you want "dark" without the gore go for Full metal alchemist, if you need more gore go for terraformars, but I strongly advice you to stay away from this random anime that is tokyo ghoul

score 3/10
