so anime logic of the day.
Kirio from Magical battle festa.
I must find out if I am strong enough to protect the girl I love. So I'm going to beat up the girl I love to see if I have the power to protect her.
*slow clap*
Anyway, I'm hearing tons of buzz over Tokyo Ghoul... any good?
First season=full season of shinji ikari with no eva. very ignorable.
second season=shinji ikari in the eva and cannot leave and slowly going bat shizzle.
>TFW implying Shinji wasn't Bat Shizzle to begin with
I'm honestly unsure whether that sounds interesting, or like a pile of powder monkey dung...
Well season 2 of durara or on at the same time. So Just ignore it for by far superior animu.
I might give it a shot. I gave SAO a shot, and it wasn't blasphemously horrible, so this can't be too bad.
From what I can determine, though, Vampire + Freaky Tentacles Sprouting From Back = Ghoul.
Barring the vampire part (think more like yoma from claymore), pretty much but much dumber. As in Japanese writers don't understand a thing called logistics.
A race of creatures that survives ONLY on human flesh? Huuuge logistical problem there and that ruins an important part of story telling. Suspension of disbelief.
I mean I can believe in vampires as a creature because they drink blood. Blood from anything but ideally human as they were themselves human, and the act of drinking blood is regaining life essence to continue living. Where in some vampire lore to drink blood is to drink the soul (hence when a person is bitten they become vampires which are soulless beings).
etc. etc.
A good creature holds great logistics in how it exists in the given universe and thus an audience can suspend the disbelief in their existence.
Classic ghouls were first vampire underlings. Like mid way zombies. In modernised lore they're mutated cannibals (think gollum) made from generations of inbreeding and consumption of human flesh.
