I am a big fan of Japanese animes! I will be posting more on the ones I like every now and then. The one anime that I felt was brilliantly made and affected me is Tokyo Ghoul.
Here is a synopsis of what it is about - Synopsis
Tokyo has become a cruel and merciless city—a place where vicious creatures called “ghouls” exist alongside humans. The citizens of this once great metropolis live in constant fear of these bloodthirsty savages and their thirst for human flesh. However, the greatest threat these ghouls pose is their dangerous ability to masquerade as humans and blend in with society.
Based on the best-selling supernatural horror manga by Sui Ishida, Tokyo Ghoul follows Ken Kaneki, a shy, bookish college student, who is instantly drawn to Rize Kamishiro, an avid reader like himself. However, Rize is not exactly who she seems, and this unfortunate meeting pushes Kaneki into the dark depths of the ghouls' inhuman world. In a twist of fate, Kaneki is saved by the enigmatic waitress Touka Kirishima, and thus begins his new, secret life as a half-ghoul/half-human who must find a way to integrate into both societies.
In short follow the story of keneki turn from this(IMG on left) to this (IMG on right).
Badass right?? Well his journey of transformation however is painful and might give you nightmares. There is alot of gore and mental trauma, in a few scenes, for those watching it. But all in all its amazing.
For those who have watched it, please tell me in the comments below which was the most touching scene for you? For me it was this one wherein keneki carrying his friend, the song that plays during this will make even the most stone cold person weep.
