Tokyo Ghoul: Jack

My first ever and very simple review of this OVA. All I can say is thank you Studio Pierrot, but I still don't forgive you for Root A. They did a 180 from Root A and did not butcher Ishida Sui's work at all! Tokyo Ghoul: Jack's story, art, and characters are all beautifully adapted from the manga for our viewing pleasure. The OST is also completely brand new and fitting! You will not, I repeat, you will NOT be disappointed in by the Tokyo Ghoul: Jack OVA adaptation. The only possible downfall is that it's only 30 minutes long! Overall enjoyment is 10/10. P.S. NoArima dorito-chin.

*Minor Spoilers Ahead* There is one word that describes the Tokyo ghoul Anime and that word is "Lacking" from the first season through the second season and now this OVA , Which is something disappointing since I like this series very much and the idea of it , The Story of thisOVA follows the Arima Kishou the God like CCG Agent or as the description says the CCG Shinigami through his high school days , now it might say that the focus in this OVA is Arima high school "DAYS" but its not completely true because its focuses more about another main character , Enter Taishi Fura Who is a high school student hell bend on revenge after seeing his former gang getting killed by a Ghoul Called the Lantern Ghoul , so the description is somewhat off now to point out some good and bad points about this series now the good thing that I found in this OVA is the animation and background music same thing as the first season and the second season of tokyo ghoul but that is the only good things about this OVA now when I say lacking I'm not exaggerating at all when I finished this OVA I had so many questioned unanswered to give an example : why is Arima so powerful at a young age ? how did he end up working for CCG ? now this can all be answered in the third season maybe ? but the problems doesn't stop there , there were only two fighting scenes and they were mediocre at best and all others are skipped , now I'm not saying fighting scenes matter all the time but when there is no much character building which required more than one episode because I didn't buy the friendship between the two main characters at all and this is why I say the LACKING , this needed more episode and the fact that we had two time skips in only one episode with 30 min run time doesn't help at all

I feel that this OVA was a really well developed and had great depth of character and story. It felt like a bit of a let down since there was no Kaneki. But that still doesn't affect my review cause the characters and action was great without it. I really liked the mood the Introduction of the OVA generated. It gave me a sort of "Japanese Hotline Miami" feel, which i loved. Fight Scenes were action packed and full of tension. I think conclusion was a great summary, which was also not a completely closed ended ending as it leaves room for other OVA's to develop. T~T No Kanekibut still 10/10
