On my review for the first Tokyo Ghoul live action, I approached the points I thought would be most relevant. I haven't noticed any real change in this title in comparison to the first, therefore, I'll be brief here. The visual effects, which are mostly the kagunes, still have a variable quality. Personally, I think they're tolerable for the most part. Yet, if you watched the first and came here expecting some improvement, you'll have to find it yourself because I couldn't detect any. The cast has not changed much, with the exception of a new actress playing Touka, I haven't really noticed anyone new. The acting quality is still the same, which means it is also variable, but at least in the important moments it is decent enough. The story is really the only thing different, which is quite obvious as this is the adaptation of another arc from the manga. I haven't noticed any major changes here either in comparison to the first, they seem to have preserved the canon. However, this one is a bit slower compared to the first and for those of you who expected it to have more action you'll be somewhat disappointed. Ironically, the moments that would have deserved more time end up rather fast and that's a con. Still, wouldn't say that the movie is completely ruined.
Is it worth watching? If you watched the first one, I don't see why you shouldn't see the sequel. It's not as good as the first, but at least it starts and finishes another arc rather well. Biggest problem is the pacing, but even then it's not so vexing. Decent, but that's all.
