Tokyo Ghoul :re has just been released today! The 3rd season to Japan's hit series Tokyo Ghoul.
I recently caught up to Tokyo Ghoul and honestly I didn't think I would be into this series but as it turns out I got quite into it that I ended up binge watching it!
Here is a quick review synopsis so you can hopefully get into it too and start watching the new season!
Ken Kaneki is an average university guy who likes to chat it up with his friend Hide, the anime starts with them at a cafe called Anteiku where Kaneki reveals that he has a crush on a girl that likes to frequent the place. He finally gets the guts to ask her out and they arrange to go on a date.
His date, who goes by the name Rize, seems to have a lot in common with Kaneki as they are both book worms, towards the end of the date she reveals that she is scared to walk home because Ghouls have been attacking near where she lives so she asks Kaneki to walk her home.
Little does Kaneki know that Rize is a Ghoul and is after him. Sure enough she lures him into an alleyway and starts to take a bite out of him, however Rize is not able to eat her prey because some construction beams fall on her and crush her to death.
Kaneki is taken to the hospital where he nearly escapes death when the doctor decides to take the organs from deceased Rize and transplant them on Kaneki in order to save him.
Of course you can only guess what happens...yup this transplant has turned Kaneki into a Ghoul.
Kaneki's life takes a huge turn, he denies he is a Ghoul at first, but human food doesn't taste good to Ghoul's because Ghoul's feed on human flesh. with Kaneki's hunger getting worse he has no choice but to look for food. As much as he doesn't want to he runs into an alleyway where another Ghoul is eating, and unfortunately he runs into more Ghouls. But lucky to him he ends up finding a soon to be ally in Touka who stays in an apartment above Anteiku.
We learn that Anteiku is actually a safe place for Ghoul's who are just trying to survive and are not what we would refer to as evil.
I'll leave the review here, trust me it gets good, Kaneki adjusting to his life as a Ghoul, discovering powers he didn't know he had, and joining in on the Ghoul turf war.
Like I said I really enjoyed it, found myself binging through this, and I can't wait to start the new series!
