Anime(?) Review: Tokyo Ghoul (2017) — I Hunger! | Standing
: Portraying Kaneki’s descent from a timid student to a desperate predator is no small feat. Reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes praised the acting, noting that it captured the emotional weight missing from many other live-action adaptations.
: Critics from Horrornews.net and Psychocinema highlight the high-quality CGI used to create the kagune (the ghouls' predatory organs used as weapons).
If you enjoy dark fantasy with a side of body horror, this is a must-watch. It manages to balance "tasteful gore" with a deep exploration of "otherness" and the nature of morality. While it may feel a bit rushed to those who haven't read the manga, it stands as one of the stronger entries in the live-action anime genre.
