Synopsis[edit]

Setting[edit]

Tokyo Ghoul is set in an alternate reality where ghouls, creatures that look like normal people but can only survive by eating human flesh, live among the human population in secrecy, hiding their true nature in order to evade pursuit from the authorities. Ghouls have powers including enhanced strength and regenerative abilities — a regular ghoul produces 4–7 times more kinetic energy in their muscles than a normal human; they also have several times the RC cells, a cell that flows like blood and can become solid instantly. A ghoul’s skin is resistant to ordinary piercing weapons, and it has at least one special predatory organ called a kagune (Japanese: 赫子), which it can manifest and use as a weapon during combat. Another distinctive trait of ghouls is that when they are excited or hungry, the color of their sclera in both eyes turns black and their irises red. This mutation is known as kakugan (赫眼, «red eye»).

A half-ghoul can either be born naturally as a ghoul and a human’s offspring, or artificially created by transplanting some ghoul organs into a human. In both cases, a half-ghoul is usually much stronger than a pure-blood ghoul. In the case of a half-ghoul, only one of the eyes undergoes the «red eye» transformation. Natural born half-ghouls are very rare, and creating half-ghouls artificially initially has a low success rate. There is also the case of half-humans, hybrids of ghouls and humans that can feed like normal humans and lack a Kagune while possessing enhanced abilities, like increased speed and reaction speed, but shortened lifespans. Naturally born half-ghouls can also eat like normal humans or full ghouls.

Plot[edit]

The story follows Ken Kaneki, a student who barely survives a deadly encounter with Rize Kamishiro, his date who reveals herself as a ghoul and tries to eat him. He is taken to the hospital in critical condition. After recovering, Kaneki discovers that he underwent a surgery that transformed him into a half-ghoul. This was accomplished because some of Rize’s organs were transferred into his body, and now, like normal ghouls, he must consume human flesh to survive. Ghouls who run a coffee shop called «Anteiku» (あんていく) take him in and teach him to deal with his new life as a half-ghoul. Some of his daily struggles include fitting into the ghoul society, as well as keeping his identity hidden from his human companions, especially from his best friend, Hideyoshi Nagachika.

The prequel series Tokyo Ghoul [Jack] follows the youths of Kishō Arima and Taishi Fura, two characters from the main series who become acquainted when they join forces to investigate the death of Taishi’s friend at the hands of a ghoul, leading to Taishi eventually following Arima’s path and joining the CCG (Commission of Counter Ghoul), the federal agency tasked into dealing with crimes related to ghouls as well.

The sequel series Tokyo Ghoul:re follows an amnesiac Kaneki under the new identity of Haise Sasaki (the result of horrific brain damage sustained from Kishō Arima). He is the mentor of a special team of CCG investigators called «Quinx Squad» that underwent a similar procedure as his, allowing them to obtain the special abilities of Ghouls in order to fight them but still being able to live as normal humans.

Synopsis[edit]

Setting[edit]

Tokyo Ghoul is set in an alternate reality where ghouls, creatures that look like normal people but can only survive by eating human flesh, live among the human population in secrecy, hiding their true nature in order to evade pursuit from the authorities. Ghouls have powers including enhanced strength and regenerative abilities — a regular ghoul produces 4–7 times more kinetic energy in their muscles than a normal human; they also have several times the RC cells, a cell that flows like blood and can become solid instantly. A ghoul’s skin is resistant to ordinary piercing weapons, and it has at least one special predatory organ called a kagune (Japanese: 赫子), which it can manifest and use as a weapon during combat. Another distinctive trait of ghouls is that when they are excited or hungry, the color of their sclera in both eyes turns black and their irises red. This mutation is known as kakugan (赫眼, «red eye»).

Synopsis[edit]

Setting[edit]

Tokyo Ghoul is set in an alternate reality where ghouls, creatures that look like normal people but can only survive by eating human flesh, live among the human population in secrecy, hiding their true nature in order to evade pursuit from the authorities. Ghouls have powers including enhanced strength and regenerative abilities — a regular ghoul produces 4–7 times more kinetic energy in their muscles than a normal human; they also have several times the RC cells, a cell that flows like blood and can become solid instantly. A ghoul’s skin is resistant to ordinary piercing weapons, and it has at least one special predatory organ called a kagune (Japanese: 赫子), which it can manifest and use as a weapon during combat. Another distinctive trait of ghouls is that when they are excited or hungry, the color of their sclera in both eyes turns black and their irises red. This mutation is known as kakugan (赫眼, «red eye»).

A half-ghoul can either be born naturally as a ghoul and a human’s offspring, or artificially created by transplanting some ghoul organs into a human. In both cases, a half-ghoul is usually much stronger than a pure-blood ghoul. In the case of a half-ghoul, only one of the eyes undergoes the «red eye» transformation. Natural born half-ghouls are very rare, and creating half-ghouls artificially initially has a low success rate. There is also the case of half-humans, hybrids of ghouls and humans that can feed like normal humans and lack a Kagune while possessing enhanced abilities, like increased speed and reaction speed, but shortened lifespans. Naturally born half-ghouls can also eat like normal humans or full ghouls.

Plot[edit]

The story follows Ken Kaneki, a student who barely survives a deadly encounter with Rize Kamishiro, his date who reveals herself as a ghoul and tries to eat him. He is taken to the hospital in critical condition. After recovering, Kaneki discovers that he underwent a surgery that transformed him into a half-ghoul. This was accomplished because some of Rize’s organs were transferred into his body, and now, like normal ghouls, he must consume human flesh to survive. Ghouls who run a coffee shop called «Anteiku» (あんていく) take him in and teach him to deal with his new life as a half-ghoul. Some of his daily struggles include fitting into the ghoul society, as well as keeping his identity hidden from his human companions, especially from his best friend, Hideyoshi Nagachika.

The prequel series Tokyo Ghoul [Jack] follows the youths of Kishō Arima and Taishi Fura, two characters from the main series who become acquainted when they join forces to investigate the death of Taishi’s friend at the hands of a ghoul, leading to Taishi eventually following Arima’s path and joining the CCG (Commission of Counter Ghoul), the federal agency tasked into dealing with crimes related to ghouls as well.

The sequel series Tokyo Ghoul:re follows an amnesiac Kaneki under the new identity of Haise Sasaki (the result of horrific brain damage sustained from Kishō Arima). He is the mentor of a special team of CCG investigators called «Quinx Squad» that underwent a similar procedure as his, allowing them to obtain the special abilities of Ghouls in order to fight them but still being able to live as normal humans.

Tokyo Ghoul (東京喰種(トーキョーグール), Tōkyō Kushu (Tōkyō Gūru), обычно переводится на русский как «Токийский гуль») – манга под авторством Ишиды Суи. Выпускалась с сентября 2011 года в журнале Weekly Young Jump издательства Shueisha. Была завершена в сентябре 2014. В том же году вышла аниме адаптация и продолжение «Tokyo Ghoul:re».

Сюжет

В Токио возле небоскреба Такада происходит странное убийство. Благодаря уликам, найденным на месте преступления, следователи заключают, что это дело рук гулей, «питающихся» в данном районе. Молодым студентам и закадычным друзьям Канеки и Хиде приходит в голову мысль, что на самом дели гули выглядят как обычные люди, поэтому их так сложно вычислить. Однако они даже не подозревают, насколько верна их теория.

Краткое содержание

Сеттинг

Действие Tokyo Ghoul происходит в альтернативной реальности, где ghouls, существа, которые выглядят как нормальные люди, но могут выжить, только поедая человеческое мясо, живут среди человеческого населения в секрете, скрывая свою истинную природу, чтобы избежать преследования властей. Вурдалаки обладают способностями, в том числе повышенной силой и регенеративными способностями — обычный гуль производит в своих мышцах в 4-7 раз больше кинетической энергии, чем нормальный человек; они также имеют в несколько раз больше клеток RC, которые текут, как кровь, и могут мгновенно стать твердыми. Кожа вурдалака устойчива к обычному колющему оружию, и у него есть по крайней мере один особый хищный орган, называемый кагуне (яп. : 赫 子), который он может проявлять и использовать в качестве оружия во время боя. Другой отличительной чертой гулей является то, что когда они возбуждены или голодны, цвет их склеры обоих глаз становится черным, а радужная оболочка — красными. Эта мутация известна как какуган (赫 眼, «красный глаз»).

Полугуль может быть рожден естественным образом как гуль и потомок человека, либо создан искусственно путем трансплантации некоторых органов гуля человеку. В обоих случаях полугуль обычно намного сильнее чистокровного гуля. В случае с полу-вурдалаком только один глаз подвергается трансформации «красных глаз». Прирожденные полуугли очень редки, а создание искусственно созданных полууглей изначально имеет низкую вероятность успеха.

Есть также случай полулюдей, гибридов гулей и людей, которые могут питаться как обычные люди и не имеют кагуне, обладая при этом улучшенными способностями, такими как увеличенная скорость и скорость реакции, но сокращающие продолжительность жизни. Прирожденные полугули также могут есть как нормальные люди или полные упыри.

Сюжет

История следует за Кеном Канеки, студентом, который едва выжил в смертельной схватке с Ризе Камиширо, его девушкой, которая обнаруживает себя в образе гуля. Он доставлен в больницу в критическом состоянии. После выздоровления Канеки обнаруживает, что перенес операцию, которая превратила его в полугуля. Это произошло благодаря тому, что некоторые органы Ризе были перенесены в его тело, и теперь, как обычные упыри, он должен есть человеческую плоть, чтобы выжить. Вурдалаки, управляющие кофейней «Антейку» (あ ん て い く), берут его и учат справляться с новой жизнью полугуля. Некоторые из его повседневных проблем включают в себя приспособление к обществу гулей, а также сокрытие своей личности от своих товарищей-людей, особенно от его лучшего друга Хидэёси Нагачика.

В приквеле «Токийский гуль» [Джек] рассказывается о молодых людях Кишо Арима и Тайши Фура, двух персонажах из основной серии, которые знакомятся, когда они объединяют усилия, чтобы расследовать смерть друга Тайши от руки вурдалака, что привело к тому, что Тайши в конечном итоге последовал по пути Аримы и присоединился к CCG (Комиссия по борьбе с упырями), федеральному агентству, которому также было поручено заниматься преступлениями, связанными с упырями.

Продолжение серии Tokyo Ghoul: re следует за амнезиаком Канеки под новым именем Хайсе Сасаки (результат ужасного повреждения мозга, полученного от Кишо Аримы). Он является наставником специальной группы исследователей CCG под названием «Quinx Squad», которая прошла аналогичную процедуру, что и его, позволяя им получить особые способности Ghouls для борьбы с ними, но все еще имея возможность жить как обычные люди.

Review

Amazing from the midpoint on

Initially I thought the first half of season one was too slow paced and kind of boring because I just couldn’t figure out the direction of the plot and the main point to the whole story. What happens to the main character just wasn’t enough to drive the plot forward in my mind; the «now what? so what?» question kept nagging at me. But I was patient and kept watching and realized how wrong my initial impression was. I realized that the slow pacing and lack of a central purpose/goal of the early episodes actually works to improve character development so that the finale hits us that much harder. From the midpoint on Tokyo Ghoul turns into an absolute masterpiece; I began to see depth to the whole story and the shows profound take on ethics and psychology.

This series has potential to become one of the best anime’s in recent memory if it gets a few more seasons. In fact, I think that the plot is thick enough here to warrant many more seasons. Season 1 does a excellent job setting the context and introducing us to the characters. It would be a shame if Tokyo Ghoul ended after just 24 episodes. I want more than that. If you fail to reach the midpoint of the first season, you will judge this series inaccurately based on limited data. If you make it to the midpoint, however, you will have that epiphany you’ve been searching for and the show will appear before you in a new light, as it has to me.

Don’t judge this series based on the manga; they’re totally different artforms and should be judged separately. It seems to me that a lot of people who negatively judge this series are extremely biased in favor of the manga, and that’s just unreasonable.

If judged by the first half alone: 7.0-8.0/10.

If judged by the second half alone: 10/10.

If judged in hindsight taking into consideration everything I mentioned: 10/10.
