This is how this will go down, folks. We’re going to keep this article short and to the point. Down below, we will discuss a few pros about the Tokyo Ghoul:re anime adaptation and equally we will talk about some negatives about it as well. The goal here is to see which is better ultimately not from just our perspective but from the community’s as well. We did research online to see what people have been saying about Tokyo Ghoul:re’s animation and took that into consideration while writing this article. We’re not personally saying either one is better or worse, folks; remember that though. These are just opinions we have and share with others about Tokyo Ghoul:re and how it could show a clear victor of which is better between the two versions.

Honestly, one of the best things about seeing a manga get adapted into an anime is the fact that we get to see our favorite series get a form outside still images. Don’t get us wrong folks, the manga art for Tokyo Ghoul:re is drop dead gorgeous, but the animation isn’t too shabby either. While it has some moments of weaker animation here and there, the Tokyo Ghoul:re animation adaptation looks pretty darn good from our perspective. Plus, those action sequences are just stunning to see moving in stunning anime format. Now let’s hope studio Pierrot keeps it up with further episodes of Tokyo Ghoul:re.

One thing that hasn’t been lost in the Tokyo Ghoul:re anime adaptation—though some things we’ll soon mention have been lost—is the excellent story. Every week we still grip our computer desks and chairs as we watch what will happen next in Tokyo Ghoul:re. The world set in the prequel story continues strong in Tokyo Ghoul:re and that’s a good thing indeed. We won’t spoil some of the new characters such as Haise Sasaki and how they work into this new tale of humans versus ghouls. If you want to know for yourselves—and we know you do—then you’ll just need to watch the Tokyo Ghoul:re anime or read the manga.

If you look up the biggest complaints about Tokyo Ghoul:re anime adaptation, it would be that there is a ton of content missing seen in the manga. We won’t say exactly what scenes are missing—in case some of you are trying to avoid spoilers—but there are a lot of chapters skipped in just the first few episodes alone. Trust us folks, we also dislike when an anime adaptation messes with a manga we love but we also understand its not possible to get every scene from the manga either. Ultimately, just don’t expect everything from the manga to make it into the Tokyo Ghoul:re anime.

Another complaint we’ve been hearing from fans of both the manga and the anime for Tokyo Ghoul:re is that it’s really confusing, especially if you aren’t a manga reader. Possibly due to the content skipping, Tokyo Ghoul:re feels all over the place in the anime. It doesn’t mean we don’t understand what’s going on, but we can sympathize for anime-only fans of Tokyo Ghoul:re. We recommend picking up the manga for Tokyo Ghoul and Tokyo Ghoul:re. If you decide not to, you’re going to be a bit lost in this anime adaptation.
