Plots(1)
His memories restored; Ken Kaneki is desperate to end the bloodshed in Tokyo. But overthrowing the One-Eyed King isn't enough. His only hope is to unite the city against the organization pulling the strings. There's just one catch Kaneki, himself, is the greatest threat of all. (Anime Ltd)

I was afraid of the setup porridge because several nice plot doors had already been thoroughly closed, but with this unit I was in for a surprise. Re is often not a classic slaughterhouse, sometimes it doesn't even look like a Tokyo Ghoul brand series. The first new action starts slowly, very differently and with the face of supernatural procedural crime. And the main hero finally does not seem like a troubled puppy, thinks about future actions with effort and nostalgically and purposefully plucks at the viewer with fragments of memories. The central group of investigators is fortunately not just mandatory shrubbery and everyone (led by the amazing and chubby Saikou) has their place in the story. It's not the best chapter, but it exceeded my expectations in all respects.

Best Tokyo Ghoul season? Well, I donť think so! I am sorry; but I found the brainwashed Kaneki living under the identity of Haise Sasaki quite boring. His entire Quinx Squad was full of characters I could not relate to over the course of twelve episodes. So then, when someone in the show was in danger or even died, I was left completely cold, and it did nothing for me. I was expecting suspense and great controversy since the former ghoul was now an investigator. I was expecting characters from Kaneki's past to make imaginative and interesting attempts to bring back Kaneki's memory. In addition to that, I was somewhat disappointed, probably most of all, that one of my favorite characters, Gourmet, was reduced to a wreck for most of the season. He only woke up towards the end to achieve what? Well, even the rest of my favorite ensemble from the previous seasons were just there. They belong in this world, and their turns are probably still waiting for them, even though that could only happen next season. I did not enjoy watching the narratives and investigations from the other side. The best bit was probably the auction part and then the season finale itself, where at least something was finally concluded. So, I can say that after this rather mediocre and uninteresting season, I am at least looking forward to the next one. However, the storytelling was quite good; everything was presented clearly and understandably. The action and fight scenes were again full of gore, with so many severed limbs. Well, all the nice things for some people. All in all, it is a real shame that I enjoyed the fight scenes, even though I could not care about the people in them this time... 5.5/10.
