    Watch after you have read the manga
    Tokyo Ghoul is a overall overwhelmingly positive story, IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE MANGA. The whole story aspect has been thrown out of the window as if the TV screen was on fire. All the story aspect is messed up and ruined and there are too many plot holes. It feels like what a five year thought this was about and then wrote the story briefly. I made a mistake of watching the anime first then the manga because I didn't like the story this much but my friend kept recommending the manga so I gave it a try and oh gosh... It was great. Most of the plot holes were covered and important story aspects were covered in the manga rather than this unfinished anime. Overall, I would not recommend this anime at all UNLESS you read the manga first and want to watch a animated version of the ACTION SCENES. But at least they got one thing right. The awesome soundtrack. So please watch after you had read the manga.
