Love Stage episode 6

So folks....I am the type of person who likes things. Little things. I am not all about fancy clothes or food. I rather have spaghetti every night and tons of relatively inexpensive stuffed animals because I can keep those. The same goes for technology. I think I am the only person I know who has a 5 year old phone. Actually I think it is might be older than that. It is seriously an old phone, like 70 in dog years. My car is slowly falling into tiny pieces. And now folks...my laptop has stage 5 cancer. Maybe even a made up stage 6. Hopefully buying a new lap protector/fan thingy will help extend it's life but as of right now it is incapable of downloading anime episodes without failing and what not. Be prepared for me coming on one day and going NOOOOOO MY LAPTOP! It am preparing myself. XD

...Rei has priorities. Surely he does.
Episode Summary: Rei returns home super late to the house because he has no life. The housekeeper/second maid lady sees Rei and tells him that Izumi has a friend over, the first friend in his entire life. Since Rei knows all he knew something was up when he saw the shoes at the door but who does Izumi know that has expensive shoes? Ryouma comes running down the stairs and briefly talks to Ryouma before heading out. Rei has suspicions and runs upstairs to find Izumi sleeping with clothes on and the manga manuscript all done. Rei notes that the parts Ryouma did actually look good. Ryouma has arrived at his agency to be screamed at by his President. Mr. Trapped in his Youth President is super pissed and screams a bit about Ryouma being a brat while Ryouma and the assistant just stand there for a bit. Then the President finally gets to the point of this meeting. When Ryouma was in the park with makeover Izumi there was scum sitting around waiting to take pics. Now the pics are going to be in a magazine and the magazine gave President the heads' up. President is super mad Ryouma is dating the girl from the commercial. Girl? Before Ryouma says anything he calls Rei and asks if he should say anything about Izumi at all. Rei gets his creepy smile on and says to leave it to him. Izumi wakes up to singing birds and happiness in his heart as he is well rested and has a finished manga thanks to his new friend Ryouma the super star. He goes downstairs to find Rei who is excited about Izumi's debut. Um what? Rei quickly and insanely explains that Ryouma and Izumi had their pics taken at the park and are now going to be in a magazine. Izumi is a mystery lady and it is going to be a scandal. But Rei wants to have his own news press conference thing and announce that Izumi is Ryouma's friend AND going to be make his showbiz debut. Izumi is like....I can get down with helping Ryouma but I don't want to be in showbiz, I am going to turn in my manga and win the prize now duh. Rei tries to keep it together but eventually is like look Izumi you suck at drawing. They go back and forth and eventually Izumi and him enter into a bet. If Izumi wins the manga contest he is free to be himself. Loses and he has to enter showbiz as planned. Izumi leaves all dramatic like and Rei wonders if he was too harsh with the boy. Izumi makes it to the manga studio but stops to watch an episode of LalaLulu that is playing. Apparently he really gets into it as he attracts attention. He is called over to submit his manga which he happily does, visions of winning entering his mind. Or at the very least being asked to work at this studio. The man looks at him like the manga is a joke. When he realizes Izumi is being super serious he tries to gently tell Izumi he has no talent at all. Izumi leaves dejected. He travels down the road in the rain with all his hopes and dreams smashed on the ground, a broken man. He accidentally lands in some trash bags and looks pathetic.

The pleasure is all his I am sure.
Late that night Rei realizes that Izumi still isn't home. He wonders if he was too harsh on the boy but decides that tough love is for the best. Izumi texts Rei saying he is going on a trip and not to look for him. He turns off his phone so Rei loses his mind at the idea of Shougo losing his mind and Izumi being dumb over this manga nonsense. Ryouma is chillin at his house thinking it is his fault that Izumi is going to be in this magazine. Rei calls him as he can't think of anyone else shut in Izumi would go to for help. Ryouma doesn't really press for details but realizes Izumi is in trouble and needs to look for him. Suddenly Izumi and his trash smelling self is at the door. He had Ryouma info on his phone and the man lets the gloomy kid in. Ryouma goes to call Rei to tell him Izumi is alive when Izumi flings himself on Ryouma begging him not to. The moment might have been magical if Izumi hadn't fell in trash earlier. Ryouma quickly gets Izumi to take a bath and to leave his clothes in the basket outside. Ryouma seems conflicted on whether or not to call Rei. He wants to look inside the envelope but doesn't want to break trust. He gets worried when Izumi is being too quiet and goes into the bath. Izumi had fallen asleep and nearly drown. Ryouma gets him up but Izumi seems to be out of it. He gets out of the tub in front of Ryouma and then dons one of the man's shirt which is way too big on the kid. Ryouma dies of a nosebleed. Before Ryouma can go buy underwear Izumi decides to sleep in Ryouma's bed. Ryouma sleeps on the floor near the bed thinking some god is testing him. In the morning it is revealed Rei did not get a wink of sleep. He doesn't know what to do and is slowly losing his mind. Ryouma on the other hand is making breakfast for his grumpy sleepover pal. He gives Izumi coffee when it is apparent the kid isn't in a great mood. Ryouma presses Izumi for answers, that he can trust him. Izumi explains his story of sad woe and Ryouma feels for him. Izumi has brief happiness thinking of LalaLulu but is overall a sad panda. Ryouma decides that Izumi can stay while he goes to work but Rei needs to call. Izumi is like no I am never going back. I will just join your family. Ryouma decides it is time to point out he still has a crush on Izumi and this is a very tempting situation for Ryouma. Izumi is like...fine have me and offers up his body. X___X THE END!
 photo lovestageepisode613_zps01824ecf.jpg
Ryouma will never sleep again.
Well that was sad...I think. Yeah I think it qualifies as sad. Izumi might be delusional but still sad faces for all. Also is Ryouma going to change agencies during this series or what? Maybe these boys should run away and Ryouma can be the artist and Izumi can be the assistant because I am not seeing good times for a while for these two.
 photo lovestageepisode6_zps56dc783b.jpg
How does Izumi have friends MOG!
Rei is a super hard worker. He always seems to be at the house, Izumi's house. Being assistant must be code for slave in Japan. I guess if you want to move up in the industry you have to work until your eyes melt out of your head and have no social life at all. Then when you are old and grey and too weak to enjoy your money...you die. Sounds fun to me. So Rei arrives at the home in time to spot Ryouma's shoes. Like um I am here every single day and know everyone's shoes and no one owns these shoes for I am the all knowing assistant. The...housekeeper/maid/cook person was all like oh it's Izumi's friend and Rei was surprised. Um Izumi has friends, the manga club DUH! Just because he is an otaku doesn't mean he is friendless. He can have otaku friends. And how is he a shut in if he goes to school? So Rei...stop being dramatic. Or or...you can see Ryouma coming down the stairs and be dramatic all over him. Because yeah he was awful to Izumi and he needs protecting. Rei can do nothing and watch as Ryouma leaves happily. Like great those two are friends now life is amazing now that Izumi has someone he can invite over.
 photo lovestageepisode65_zpsb76110a9.jpg
I am causing that many problems?!
Ryouma had to leave Izumi and all his unconscious kisses because the President of his agency wanted to have a few words with him. A few angry words. A lot of angry words actual. I think that Ryouma needs to take this President dude on his own make over because hommie is trying to dress like he is 16 still and it isn't a great look for him. Anyway after making some insults to Ryouma President explains that Ryouma has a girlfriend and life as we know it has ended. The van that was outside during Ryouma and Izumi's little park time took pics and sold them to a magazine. Yay to people who need to get a life. Since Ryouma is a little cash cow and having relationships is super frowned upon when it comes to idols in Japan this actually is a big deal. Ryouma wasn't even doing anything but that doesn't matter. Ryouma is with a cute girl alone so things must have happened.
 photo lovestageepisode63_zps3dc81360.jpg
Ah the girl....I see....
Wait a girl? Izumi? I thought that Ryouma was going to explain himself right away, that Izumi has an elephant but nope. He is in showbiz and needs to think about how this will affect his image and Izumi. Because he really is sorry for being taken over by a demon and doing bad things to Izumi. So instead of getting himself out of immediate trouble and allowing the magazine to go oh...that is boring, they are both boys (or the magazine going WOOHOO that is hot two boys) Ryouma went the more polite and roundabout way of calling Rei to see what he should do. Because Rei is an adult and should have the answers. Unfortunately Rei works for the parents and not Izumi. I am sure Rei wants the best for Izumi but everyone thinks he should be in the entertainment industry and not a manga artist. Anyone with eyes should see that but not Izumi. Of course anyone who has eyes and ears should see that Izumi doesn't want to be the center of attention and in the spot light but I guess that is not the point.
 photo lovestageepisode64_zpse5852121.jpg
Just...so very proud of work. Soon it will explode though.
So in the end Rei was unhappy that Ryouma spent time at the house helping Izumi finish his sad manga. I would have been more concerned that Ryouma was alone with Izumi is a room but you know...Rei has priorities. And an eye for detail as he could tell Ryouma did the...less than sucky work while all Izumi can do is suck. Izumi had no idea anything happened with Ryouma or that Rei had spent all night trying to fix this disaster. So when Izumi got ready to turn in his awful manga Rei stopped him and explained the situation about the pictures and how the magazine is going to make a big deal about this no matter what Izumi's gender. Probably more scandalous that Izumi is a dude. RYOUMA TALKED TO A DUDE! In Rei's amazingly messed up world he is going to head this scandal off at the pass and hold their own press conference introducing Izumi to the entertainment world. Of course Izumi wasn't down for that and I can't blame him. Like okay press conference to help the now nice Ryouma but I don't want to be an entertainer. Rei wants to strike while the iron is hot and I guess in the entertainment industry introducing Izumi despite the fact that he has only done TWO commercials his entire life and has no real desire/talent to do anything like singing,dancing, acting, ect. Because he has other dreams. Dreams with the manga. Of course Izumi sucks at that too and Rei actually said it to his face this time. Something a little nicer but to his face Izumi you have no talent. It worked Izumi up enough for make him agree to a bet with Ryouma. Win the award or go through with the press conference like Rei wants. Rei feels bad about this later and I would too because how can they MAKE Izumi do anything in the entertainment industry? Does Shougo have a never ending supply of LalaLulu crap? I think not.
 photo lovestageepisode67_zps12e2e638.jpg
I sorta feel bad for that man for having to unleash the truth too. :( Like he killed a dream....
Izumi spent a lot of time on this manga despite the fact that it looks like crap. Barely got any sleep for days and wakes up rested to angry Rei and his crazy demands. But Izumi wasn't going to let that get him down. He has a plan and it is to turn in his manga in person and win the competition by default. He will be rich and famous and Rei will eat his words. So after watching a few moments of LalaLulu the anime Izumi turned in his manuscript. Now.....because Izumi was waiting until the last minute to turn in his manuscript he had to do it in person. Had he sent it by mail things wouldn't have ended so sadly. I mean the way it ended I think Izumi will get the message. But it was still sad folks. Izumi was delusional and he deserved to have someone in his life tell him before he embarrassed himself that his manga really truly sucked. I mean maybe you need some new glasses or something. But yeah....the man asking Izumi if this manga was a joke and upon realizing Izumi was serious...the man tried to break it to him in as gentle but nonsense as possible: You have no talent at all in this field.
 photo lovestageepisode66_zpsfcfcb5f2.jpg
Also this. Rei and his fight...yeah this won't end well for him...
I can make fun of Izumi all I want but I still can feel bad when Izumi was devastated. Like beyond drained and upset. So upset he left his entire bag at the studio, only taking his manuscript that has been deemed trash. Imagine if all your life you wanted to be a singer and you practiced all the time and devoted all your free thoughts to that one thing. Then BAM you go into the studio and are told you sound like a dying cat. Because no one in your life ever told you the truth. Not hard enough to drill the truth into your head. That is how Izumi feels. I don't think he KNOWS yet that his manga sucks but his dream has been crushed. He is walking down the street covered in rain and sadness. No hope. Oh look a random pile of trash. Lets make sure that Izumi falls into as well since he is having that kind of day. :( It was just rough to watch Izumi face the cold hard facts and see that sad little face. :( He certainly needs a LalaLulu hug after this horrible day.
 photo lovestageepisode612_zps5a885d9c.jpg
Lord give me strength because this family drives me insane.
Rei had regrets folks. He thought he was doing good for Izumi by giving the boy the truth. THE TRUTH. I have been known to unleash the truth on people before. I do not support Rei pushing Izumi into the industry. You can be worried for the boy's future all you want but pushing him into an industry he doesn't want to be probably won't help. The family is pretty famous and wealthy I am sure. I would probably focus Izumi on leaving the house and making friends as he could probably not work at all and be okay with the money his family has. But yeah telling him the truth about his art because it does suck. I think Rei would have spent the entire episode pissed off at Izumi being rude to him but when Izumi decided to break out the dramatic messages, I am going on a trip don't look for me...yeah Rei lost his mind. And spent the rest of the episode in lost mindness. Like nooooo why was I so honest? I hope Rei is getting a lot of money at this job. Doesn't seem worth it to me.
 photo lovestageepisode69_zps0db999d0.jpg
Ryouma wants to do the happy dance but Izumi smells like ass so you know....
I like how Rei automatically thought of Ryouma. I mean the man tried to rape Izumi once and then bought him clothes/texted him another time that he knows of. I wouldn't automatically think oh yes he might be at Ryouma's house. Just seems like a dramatic leap to me as there are people in the manga club. But Rei decides that otaku Izumi has no one else in life and must look there for the boy. I think Rei didn't realize how much Ryouma would have gone into a panic for Izumi. Like my love is gone?! I must look for him. I will not rest until his blond self is found. I actually thought that is how things were going to go down, that Ryouma would have found him in the trash or somewhere else all sad and lonely.
 photo lovestageepisode611_zpsfd943cb5.jpg
A test of your will. Are you going to fail?
Nope folks. Apparently emails in Japan have personal information. Or the ones that Ryouma sends out. Because here is Izumi with his turned off cellphone, manga manuscript, and trash smelling clothes. I feel as if for the next few hours Ryouma went on a roller coaster of emotions. First he was like YAY Izumi is here and alive, choosing me to protect him. Then he was :( about Izumi being sad. Then he tried to be the mature adult and take care of Izumi who smelled like crap. Bath time and laundry kept his mind off the naked love interest in his tub. Just up and down should I ask what is going on with Izumi, should I call Rei, what is up with the manga manuscript? Ryouma was trying to be a good friend while also trying to work in his angle as possible love interest where a real friend might have unleashed the truth on Izumi as well.
 photo lovestageepisode610_zpsa470fba6.jpg
I can't handle the cute says dead Ryouma.
Izumi was having a super bad day and was pretty out of it. I am sure had he been aware of his actions he wouldn't have behaved the way he did. Or maybe he would have as he is a slightly spoiled kid. But yeah just walking naked out of a tub is a bit much, especially after what Ryouma did to him. Granted anyone can be naked and it doesn't give them the right to be touched. Izumi was just pushing it with Ryouma's feelings. Maybe Izumi missed the nosebleed then but then it got WORSE when Izumi put on clothes. Because boyfriend shirts are hot ya'll. Izumi did look pretty cute. In a quest to not explain anything to Ryouma Izumi then took the only bed in the house and passed out. Like hello you are the unexpected guest, ask to take the couch like you should. I am sure that Ryouma would have insisted Izumi take the bed anyway but it is the thought that counts. Of course Ryouma could have slept on the couch instead of torturing himself all night with the thought of a nonunderwear Izumi rubbing against his sheets.
 photo lovestageepisode615_zps42785ef7.jpg
The only thing worse than having your hopes and dreams crushed is someone making the I told you so face. True facts.
Instead Ryouma and his no sleep self greeted the day with a smile in his heart. The opposite of what Rei was doing as he imagined that Izumi was dead and Shougo would surely flip his lid at the knowledge. No no folks Ryouma, whom has a busy day at work, got up and made the most awesome breakfast I have ever seen. It was like they went to a Disney buffet or something. So amazing the amount of effort that went into that breakfast. Sadly it was not eaten because Izumi woke up with the sads. I guess I can forgive him since he was in no mood to tell Ryouma yesterday about his woes. Now he is awake and has coffee and has enough brains to talk about the worse thing that has ever happened in his life. Considering he and Ryouma were operating under the assumption he was the best manga artist ever I can see how they came as big blow to Izumi. All his hopes and dreams gone forever. He has nothing to live for woe is him.
 photo lovestageepisode616_zps7c5b9abb.jpg
Stop teasing me with your sexy self.
The episode ends with Izumi having a tantrum and Ryouma trying to be a mature adult about the matter. I think that Ryouma was probably doing cartwheels at Izumi's no I don't want to go home and talk to Rei, I want to live here forever in your family. I am sure Izumi meant as an adopted son and Ryouma was like cute little house wife! But Ryouma was like no no...I must keep back my excitement and cartwheels and point out that Rei needs to be called and what not. Well....Izumi is dramatic and had his dreams crushed. That is all he wanted to do in life, draw manga so without it he feels as if he is nothing. So when Ryouma pointed out that he was in fact in love with Izumi and all these words were having an effect on him and his mentality stability Izumi was like psht I don't care. Don't hold back. Have me. Izumi laid back with his boyfriend shirt and no underwear wearing self and said have me to a man who was barely holding back as it was. So....Ryouma cracked? Cracked all over the place at the sight of Izumi giving himself up to the man. Yeah I am guessing this will not end well for our little crazy. I am sure Ryouma will regret whatever he does and it will create a bigger mess than before. Or Izumi will be like never mind I care stop kissing me. Either way...dramas for next time yes?

Tokyo Ghoul episode 6

It's Friday Friday....err...I don't really remember the rest of that horrible song. But I am sure I did enough to make the awfulness stuck in your head. XD But yes folks it is Friday and a holiday weekend for a lot of people. Since I am currently working as a stay at home wife (IE super cleaner) this means little to me but a lot for the husband as he is Mine Crafting the weekend away. I keep looking over to his computer and I think I see aliens. That game is so weird.
 photo tokyoghoulepisode65_zps9e36212c.jpg
Which part....?
So while it is alien time for the husband it is cleaning, Tsum Tsum playing, and anime blogging time for me. XD You know every day for me. What is up first on the catch up list? I will go with Tokyo Ghoul episode 6. Spoilers for Toka liking to save the day and then make everything worse weeee!
 photo tokyoghoulepisode62_zps72f44c97.jpg
Because Ghouls and zombies are different. DUH!
Episode Summary: Toka takes a bite out of Kaneki's shoulder and she is able to summon up her massively cool kagune. She attacks Shu and he takes damage. He doesn't act too broken up about it as he is happy to see the return of strong Toka. Kaneki sorta stands there in awe of Toka being amazing. Shu senses he needs more power so he runs to take a bite out of Kimi. The barely alive Nishiki grabs Shu trying to save Kimi. Kimi starts to wake up as Nishiki gets his head stomped on a million more times. Before Nishiki is killed Toka jumps out of nowhere and I am assuming slices him in half starting at his head. He is like oh this will take a long time for me to heal, maybe I should eat you now Kaneki...and flops on the ground. Toka advises Shu should eat himself while Nishiki crawls up to a now awake Kimi. Toka then is like OH so she knows you and Nishiki are Ghouls I will kill her now. Nishiki looks rather..pensive while Kaneki tries to tell Toka that Kimi is his version of Hide and Yoriko. Toka attacks anyway and Nishiki uses his body as a shied. Kimi then sees Toka for the first time and calls her pretty. Toka runs off all upset at a human finding her pretty in that state. Kimi cries because Nishiki is okay (?) and Kaneki is acting like he doesn't have giant holes in his tummy. Hide comes to the cafe soon after and is surprised to find Nishiki working there. Turns out that he is working there to earn “food” since it wouldn't be good for Nishiki to hunt and date a human. Hide and Nishiki sorta talk about Toka for a bit who is not feeling well and isn't working there today. Hinami and her mother had been sitting nearby and Hinami gets upset that she can't see her dad and takes off upstairs. Hide questions what is going on while Nishiki tries to advert the attention off them. Kaneki sits down and basically the Mom is like woe is me being a single mom is sad. She worries about her husband and the situation he is in. Back at the “clinic” Dad is startled as Jason shows up and starts playing with Hinami's artwork. Dad gives Jason this weapon and wants to move on peacefully in life. Jason cracks his knuckles and decides that is not going to happen as the clinic fills with blood. At the cafe Mom explains to Kaneki how her husband used to be a Ghoul on the wrong side of the tracks but he changed his ways when Hinami came around. How lovely. Mom says she will handle this because she is the mom.
 photo tokyoghoulepisode613_zps27e555d6.jpg
This is...an interesting way to investigate and look for suspects.
At the clinic Jason leaves the broken clinic to see crazy looking Mado and plain looking Amon waiting for him. Mado is especially thrilled to see such a top Ghoul. They transform their suitcases into some special kind of weapon that is personalized to each of them. They fight against Jason and Mado acts like he has a chance but really Jason is way too strong. Amon almost dies and Mado's weapon is completely broken. Jason walks away and promises more fun next time. Dad Doc has crawled out of the clinic clutching Hinami's picture. Mado bends down and calls Dad scum. Dad tries to use his kagune but he is killed. While all of this is going down Mom goes upstairs to talk to Hinami. Hinami is a kid and says some hateful things but eventually both of them cry it out as they just miss Dad. Mado and Amon see that Dad is holding a pic of the family and decide to use these arts as way to find other Ghouls. Kaneki sees the Mom and daughter make up and goes to see Toka. She refuses to open the door and Kaneki talks to her about how families make up and made Nishiki and Kimi can show everyone how humans and Ghouls can be together. He apologizes for bringing up Toka's friend but still feels as if the situation is the same in regards to Hide. Kaneki spends some time with Hinami helping her learn words and what not. He leaves so she can spend more time with her Mom. They decide to go out and get a new book to give to Dad later when things calm down. On the streets there are Doves holding Hinami's artwork and pics of her clothes comparing them to other mom and kids on the street. Hinami dances around after buying the new book for her dad while Mom notices all this funny business going down. She tries to get Hinami to walk away but then Hinami takes off as she think she smells her Dad. They end up in alley with Mado, Amon, and the two other Doves. Mado talks his crap and Mom uses her kagune like flower petals to pull Hinami close. She tells Hinami to run and she will join her later. Hinami cries but eventually leaves as mom turns full Ghoul. Mado says some crap about them not really being mom and daughter as Mom gets ticked. Hinami runs through the streets asking for help as Kaneki is seen walking maybe nearby? THE END!

Mother will be right behind you....right. Say goodbye forever kid.
That obviously went a bit different than I thought it was going to go. I thought the battle was going to take all episode when in reality it was all taken over before the (late) opening song took place. I see indeed.
 photo tokyoghoulepisode63_zps437bd290.jpg
Really? I can't tell so I will have to take your word for it.
Or maybe I don't see. Because you know censors. Censors over here and censors over there. Got to have a reason to make people buy Dvds and suchies. I am used to such censors here in the United States, especially if you watch Final Destination movies on cable. So I know Japan has cracked down on things recently and things are going to end up looking....well not sure how cause obviously I didn't see what it looked like. I guess I could look it up online, to see if the manga follows the anime pretty closely but I can use my imagination. Hope on the Figment ride and just use my other senses to understand what is going on.

Here is Toka kicking some ass. This we can see.
What went on was Toka kicked ass. Lots of ass indeed. This kagune is different from Ghoul to Ghoul. But just a little bite from blood/skin from Kaneki and Toka was kicking a lot of ass. Shu almost had a minute to fight back. He got hit and tried to regenerate and it really didn't help him. Maybe less talking and more attacking would have been better. Or or...he could have taken a bit out of Kimi then since Toko had backed off at the moment. Doesn't matter though as they only flittered around for a few more moments. Nishiki is a good boyfriend and....grabs Shu's leg. While Shu was going to town on Nishiki's head Toka did the final move and sliced Shu in half. Ghouls must be made of something magical though because this guy is still talking! I assume he is still alive as Nishiki is still alive after Kaneki's amazingness. Still that attack looked awful and I am sure no one is really running to make sure he glues himself back to life. I am sure they left him in the church so maybe a human will come and call Doves first. Or Shu will eat them. All we know is Shu and his ugly clothes had something massive happen to his body and he is currently down for the count.
 photo tokyoghoulepisode64_zps4d686bbf.jpg
Wait!!! We shouldn't be fighting at all!
Since Shu is basically dead all is well and everyone can go home and get some suicide meat. Or or....Toka can decide the body count needs to increase. Kimi is wearing a blindfold and is way too calm about this situation. I am going to assume she was woozy and knocked out for most of the battle but I would still wake up alarmed hearing this things and not knowing what is going on. Since Kimi knows about them being Ghouls it is time for her to die. For their own good, to protect them all. At this point Nishiki is really just done trying. He has nothing left in him so all he can is stare at Toka. Kaneki who apparently only have a broken arm and no holes at him at this point is like wait this is Nishiki's special friend. We have special friends Toka so you can't kill her. Toka is like no I want to protect our special friends from this knowledge and this Kimi is dangerous. Nishiki has enough energy to protect Kimi from the blasts Toka lets out and he finally....doesn't die. What the heck is Nishiki made out of?! During the attack Kimi's blindfold is cut and she is able to see Toka. Toka and her full on Ghoul/kagune self and declares her pretty. Pretty? Toka has issues with being a Ghoul so this throws her off enough to run away and let Kaneki, Nishiki, and Kimi all live. In various states of what the heck?! 


Despite the fact that Toka has been given Kaneki a lot of crap about being a Ghoul and that he has a lot of things to learn Toka herself has hung ups about the whole Ghoul thing too. I am not seeing many Ghoul parents so I am guessing the life span of these creatures isn't long. You know with humans being afraid of them and all. Plus....they do look pretty messed up when they are transformed. In other shows with different creatures that are sorta human they find their appearance okay/better than humans. Toka doesn't share that thinking. Like no I look gross. Maybe Toka wants to be human. She is Ghoul and not proud. It probably took a lot in her to even attack the girl and then to stop because of the word pretty. Toka is going through a lot and needs some time to think about this all. How dare Kaneki come in and make Toka think about having a relationship with a human being and all this nonsense. Toka can take all the time in the world to think as I appreciate the fact she took a bit out of Kaneki and didn't lose her mind.

Best friends forever weee!
So while Toka is upstairs pondering about life and her role as a Ghoul Hide has come to visit his two friends at the cafe. And since Toka upstairs who is this other friend? Of course it is Nishiki. Of course it is guys. He has redemption now. He has a girlfriend whom he realized 5 minutes ago matters. Kaneki helping him touched his heart. Hide's head what? So yeah...Ghoul relationships seem to be a bit off since there are so few of them. They can't stay mad for long as they have to stick together against the humans. That is what I see happening. Since Nishiki and Toka didn't interact this episode it is hard to tell if things are 100 with them. I guess Kaneki is the one who needs to forgive more. Yay for Nishiki working there and Hide not asking many questions. So what did he overhear in the room that day?

Because moms suck duh!
Maybe Nishiki would have talked to Kaneki more but Hinami and her mom decided to have a fight in the middle of the cafe and have a scene. Hello you are in Japan, you can't be acting like this! But yeah Hinami wants to see her dad and despite not being a toddler/old enough to understand why she can't...she needs to blame her mom and say hateful things to this woman. Now Hinami's mom does come across a bit as a pushover who is all lala clouds and rainbows what is mean? I am sure she is not like that as she is a Ghoul and have seen some horrible things in life but that is how she comes across. Instead of chasing after Hinami first Kaneki stays with the mom to talk about her side of the story. How the woman feels useless and is also worried for her husband who has been mixed up with some bad Ghouls in the past but changed when Hinami was born. Not when he was boning her or other things, just when the kid came around. Mom is worried and Kaneki really can't do anything about it.

Thanks for the product but Jason is still not happy.
While mom is talking about how worried she is about the dad...well things are going down at the clinic the man works at. I am guessing he did some unpleasant things prior in his life and regrets it. Regrets it majorly. I am going to guess he makes these Ghoul hunting tools (as I think that is what they are) for Jason and all the other Ghouls thought he was a bit of a turn coat. But one can't quit Jason and apparently it takes a while to make these tools. That or Hinami really needs to get over the fact she hasn't seen her dad in 3 days. But Jason has returned to get his tool so all will be well soon. The family can be reunited and they can go on getting their food from the cafe and not hurting humans. Or....Jason can feel slighted from Dad turning his back on him and what not and decide to beat the man into pieces. Not to death as Ghoul on Ghoul death seems to be rare since everyone regenerates. But yeah Jason beat the Dad Doc pretty good.
 photo tokyoghoulepisode69_zps8ddc6685.jpg
And now the suitcases look a whole lot cooler. Makes more sense now.
Then...TADA Mado and Amon are there. Amon reminds me of the heroes from CLAMP stories. Just without the personality. Well some of the personality as some of them are stoic. Stoic is still a personality trait to me. Amon seems to be a newbie. Someone who sees the Ghouls as an evil and tries to not get connected to the fact that they look and act human. Demons that must be destroyed but that is it. No pleasure in the fighting or what not. Mado on the other hand...he is 15 kinds of crazy. All over the place. Like woohoo I took this job not to protect people but because I want to hurt people. Sorta like how some people in the military really don't belong there at all. So during this Mado/Amon verses Jason fight Mado was really having fun while Amon was trying not to die. Jason seems to be pretty powerful and was just playing with the pair. Like lala let me toy with you Doves. During this battle we got to see what the suitcases actually did. Which was good because I was like...so the Doves are hitting Ghouls in the head with a suitcase and that is how they die. Nopers. They are made of some special material and they turn into a weapon of choice. They are actually really pretty cool. So both the Ghouls and Doves have access to this special metal. I see I see. I also see Jason tearing Mado's weapon up like it was nothing so maybe Dove better run away for now? If Jason was in a mood he could have taken them out like nothing. Probably should have but not today.

I don't have a pic of Dad dying so have Jason kicking more ass.
Maybe Jason did that on purpose though, so Dad Doc would die. He left the man on the ground suffering and if the Doves killed him...well it wasn't Jason technically. I don't think he really has to worry about people going after him for revenge anyway but he can say that he really didn't kill the man. Mado and Amon did. Dad didn't really go down without a fight though. His kagune made him look like that baddie from Spiderman. Not a good look. But they didn't prolong his death. I mean....I don't think he would have killed them, just gotten away to be with his family. Maybe there can be an understanding with Ghouls and humans one day but this is not the day. They eat humans so Ghouls are the enemy. No sympathy for his dying self on the ground or the family he still has out there. Like lets go inside and find out how we can hunt down more Ghouls. It is clever thinking, how to get more “criminals”. One leads to another to a cell of them and poof promotions for everyone. But since we all know Ghouls have personalities and souls and what not it is a bit bitter sweet. Feel free though to throw around the plushies and drawings of the young girl. Feelings are for losers.

We understand each other now. Hug it out and cry!
So while all this sadness and suitcase bashing is going on mom and Hinami had a talk. They had to because Kaneki exists and he wants everyone to be happy. I think he was going to go help the family out anyway with his tea making but it worked itself out. Well after Hinami told her mom she hated her. I mean I guess I am being too hard on the kid? I doubt that but maybe I am putting her in an adult situation and expecting her to man up and handle it. She looks about 8 yes? I think 8 years old is old enough to realize that dad is in danger and we need to stay alive somewhere else. But I guess it was weighing on her and mom wasn't really looking worried. Maybe that was the real issue, mom needed to show that she was sad and missed dad too and wasn't a robot about the situation. So yeah they were having a moment and had to comfort each other, tell the other that things were going to be okay. All the while that dad was being killed. Bitter sweet moment. Like thanks for trolling me show.
 photo tokyoghoulepisode612_zpsfeb5b89a.jpg
This is Kaneki getting through to Toka. Can't you tell?
Before the show can get more sad and troll me more Kaneki and his coffee/tea handing out self decided to go see Toka first. Because she is still having weird feelings about sparing Kimi and Kimi calling her pretty and what not. Toka is a Ghoul but has no Ghoul pride. Kaneki is stuck in between both worlds. So while Kaneki's words might come across as a bit....what is the word I am looking for? How Kaneki is new to this situation and is trying to tell Toka how she should feel about the situation. I am sure that Nishiki and Kimi aren't the only ones who have trying to have a Ghoul/human relationship. But I am also going to guess that the ones who have tried in the past haven't done so well. I mean didn't Kaneki just get told of a half human/half Ghoul baby that didn't make it. So yeah this isn't some magical once in a lifetime relationship. Still Kaneki wants Toka to have faith and not feel so bad about having regrets and conflicting feelings about Kimi. Whatever Kaneki says seems to have worked but Toka isn't going to let him know that...yet. She does have her badass image to protect.

Stealth Hinami. You need to learn to have it. And quick.
After the mom and daughter have some bonding we understand each other time they venture out to get a present. For the dad. The super dead dad now. I think the Ghouls need to start a better system of communication. Like wow Doves are in town...and that seems to be all the information that anyone knows. Not um yeah Doc is dead warn the wife. I guess everyone running around alone is a better way to stay alive. Of course it was a bit eye rolling when the Doves were using childish drawings to profile people. Like oh we know we are in an anime and people wear the exact same clothes the entire time they are in the anime so surely these pictures represent exactly what the rest of this Ghoul family looks like right now. So that and no one contacting ANY Ghoul at the cafe in which the Doc's family is staying at is a bit eyerolling. So Hinami and her mom go out, all happy and cute trying to get a present for a Dad that was now gone.
 photo tokyoghoulepisode615_zps3a2b7d46.jpg
Thanks for that.....won't want a merciful death or anything.
Does this end well folks? Of course it doesn't. It never does. Ever. Doves are all over the place looking up and down any mom and kid combo. If only mom had gotten the book alone. Since we know what the suitcases are now and these police officers are pretty far away from the world stealth mom was able to get Hinami slightly away from the problem. I would think a Ghoul child would have more brains than Hinami though. Like mom I am going to bring more attention to us with my questions and what not. When you are being hunted by humans and you live among them maybe you should develop some sorta of system. Like eyebrow raise, run away. Mom does her best but of course they end up being cornered after Hinami takes off running because she thinks she smells her Dad. Turns out mom and her old lady clothes help her kagune out? That is what it looked like to me anyway. She is sorta like a crazy ass flower. She enveloped her kid and told Hinami to run, that she will be along later. HAHA yeah right. Hinami eventually does run but it isn't looking good for her or momma Ghoul who is being taunted for “pretending” to be a mother. Hinami is running and begging for help and the viewers see Kaneki walking along...but we don't know where. I am going to go out on a limb and say the mom is toast but Hinami? This show hasn't shy-ed away from violence yet so is this going to be the first kid death? Something that shakes Kaneki to his core? Guess we will find out next time!

Tokyo Ghoul episode 5

 photo tokyoghoulepisode54_zpsbc1c27d2.jpg
More insane behavior that makes me want to barf?
I think I am on post number 4 right now? I think anyway. Obviously I had plans to get more done this week while the husband was out of town but you know...zankie happened then exploded and I lose track of time. Since the husband's plane has just landed most of my anime list won't get done this week. At least the house looks nice though. Anyway anyway you are here for late anime posts yes? So here we go folks. Up now is Tokyo Ghoul episode 5. Spoilers for Kaneki not making very good decisions...again.
 photo tokyoghoulepisode52_zps663f50c9.jpg
Shu spends the entire episode being insane. Spoiler alert.
Episode Summary: Kaneki has survived his night with Shu but still has horrible nightmares about the event. He wakes up on a couch in a cold sweat at a thought of the man. At work other Ghoul customers are complaining because there are more Doves in town being Dovey and killing them. Kaneki is relieved from work but not by Toka. He is told she is sick and since she lives above the cafe maybe he should go see her. He walks up all awkward to see Hinami being dropped off by her mom. Toka is up and about and is pissed to see Kaneki wasting her time and being empty handed. When Kaneki offers to help Hinami with her homework Toka offers to make the only thing they can consume. In his mansion of insanity Shu is still upset that Kaneki has slipped through his insane fingers. Not sure how since....Kaneki was weak on the ground and surrounded but you know. Shu needs to eat Kaneki but how?! Suddenly it looks like he has a plan but he needs a third party person to help him. Back at her tiny apartment Toka is all X___X because her friend Yoriko has come to visit her. She opens the door but Kaneki doesn't take the hint and makes himself visible to the friend. Yoriko sees a boy and is like oh snap you go girl, hands the homemade stew to Toka, and takes off. Kaneki apologizes for sucking and realizes that Toka is “sick” because she has been eating Yoriko's food. Kaneki is touched by how Toka loves her friend. Some time after this lovely stew eating Kaneki is walking home thinking how Mr. Yomo needs to take it easier on him. While walking he sees three Ghouls beating the crap out of Nishiki who apparently survived his encounter with Kaneki. Kaneki is like good since you hurt me and Hide. But then the beating gets super serious and Kaneki steps up. The guys advise Kaneki to leave but he stands his ground. One Ghoul starts to attack Kaneki but Yomo's training has paid off, especially since this Ghoul is slow. Kaneki wins and helps Nishiki home who is pissed at the irony of the situation. When he opens the door a worried girl starts accusing Kaneki and being pissed. Nishiki is beyond starving and suffering. They get him in bed and go to a nearby park to talk. The girl Kimi (the lap girl from episode 2) is human and Kaneki can't wrap his mind around her being with a Ghoul. As long as Nishiki doesn't eat her family...she just wants to be with him and help him. But if he needs to eat now she doesn't think she can help. Kaneki tells Kimi he will handle it. She runs off relieved to buy more coffee. Shu appears and kidnaps Kimi as she leaves the store.
 photo tokyoghoulepisode56_zps10132e14.jpg
Bish you better step off Kaneki. He didn't do anything. Either time!
Kaneki goes to the cafe to find the flesh but it is locked up. Before he can ask for help a note and rose arrive at the back porch. Obviously the note is from Shu and it is about Kimi. Panic city. Nishiki has made his way to the cafe for some reason and is pissed that Kimi is in trouble. Together they go to the place Shu is. Shu is upset that Nishiki is there but no matter. Shu wants Kaneki to eat Kimi and Shu will eat Kaneki while he is doing that. In Shu's mind that will make him taste the ultimate amazingness. Nishiki and Kaneki are like...um no insane person and go to attack. Nishiki is flung away and Kaneki...well he tries. Shu is just playing with him. It isn't until Toka does a flying kick does Shu take some damage. But surprise...it heals in 10 seconds. Shu is upset as Toka used to be amazing and now she is a shell of her former self. Toka is like whatever I am just getting warmed up. They spar for a bit but then it becomes apparent that even three on one Nishiki is stronger. Kaneki gets a broken arm and Shu stabs him so he can sample a bit of his blood. Apparently he is magically delicious. Toka also gets stabbed for her troubles. Shu goes to get Kimi ready for dinner and notices an ugly scar on her shoulder. Nishiki slowly starts to get up as memories come flooding back to him. His parents must have died when he was younger but his older sister took care of him, killing people and getting jobs to support them. She seems to fall in love with her manager at work as they get older which causes her to die. He turns her into the doves and as the sister dies she urges Nishiki to live on. He grows cold and distrustful, first killing the manager dude and then not caring about anyone. He came across Kimi one day when she was looking rather sad at school. He thought that he could use her one day and become friendly with her in school. Extra naked friendly. Then one day Kaneki beat the crap out of Shu and he was struggling at home to recover, unable to feed himself. Kimi came over and realized that Nishiki was a Ghoul. She offers herself up to Nishiki as she had been close to killing herself over the recent death of her family. So she will die for Nishiki. He starts to bite her...then realizes it is okay to trust her. Back in the present Nishiki has found the strength to fight Shu. Over and over again he is stabbed but keeps trying to save Kimi. Shu seems amused and tells everyone he is stronger because of his diet. Toka confirms to Kaneki that diet does affect the strength of a Ghoul and since she ate human food recently. She says if she ate probably she be equal to Shu. Maybe. So...Kaneki tells Toka to eat him. They direct Shu's attention off of nearly dead Nishiki and Kimi and Toka takes a bite out of Kaneki. Shu is devastated his meal has been tainted and Toka starts to look like a badass again. THE END!

I should go alone instead of asking for help! That is surely a great idea!
Kaneki...Kaneki...boy I know you are in college. You are a smart kid. A confused and scared kid but a smart one. Maybe just maybe...you should be telling people what is going on in your life. Open that mouth of yours. Just....Kaneki...sometimes he makes me frustrated with all the decisions or lack of decisions he makes. Poor dumb Kaneki.
 photo tokyoghoulepisode5_zpsb1c6cb46.jpg
Nightmares forever!!!
It looks like Kaneki did not tell anyone about his adventures with Shu. I would hope if he had he would be given a room at the cafe and not allowed to walk around alone and what not. Since he was walking home after work I am assuming he kept his mouth shut. I don't know if Shu would have been punished as Ghoul rules seem to be different. Like yeah we have a bunch of assholes in our midst but what can you do about it kinda attitude. Still I think Kaneki would have been given some sorta advice on how to not get eaten. Since...you know...Shu let Kaneki go out of the mansion. Why did Shu do that? Just take Kaneki in the back and eat him later. So both men made stupid decisions.
 photo tokyoghoulepisode512_zps0ec22b61.jpg
Where does he get such horrible clothes? I mean he is insane but then the haircut and the clothes too?
Shu isn't going to make that mistake again. Or maybe he had to let Kaneki go so not to look greedy. He had to bide his time and I guess people might come looking for Kaneki if he went missing for so long. I guess Shu got lucky that Kaneki kept his mouth shut. Shu decided to hole up in his giant library and speak in French while he thought about the delicious Kaneki. SO DELICIOUS! There were a few more let me stab my eyes out moments. He is really getting off on just how Kaneki smells. Wouldn't it make more sense to keep Kaneki alive and just drink his blood sometimes? Have a tasty meal forever? I guess not and I am creepy for thinking that. He has thought of something though. Something that will make Kaneki taste amazing. Ah eating. When your options are limited apparently you go crazy.
 photo tokyoghoulepisode53_zps26b8d1d0.jpg
This is true friendship. Toka is in denial that she is a good "Ghoul".
Kaneki is going about his normal day, trying to not have nightmares over creepy people named Shu. When he is relieved from work he is surprised it is not Toka. Does this girl not have a day off? Well apparently she is sick and up he goes to have awkward conversations with the girl. I am sure she appreciated him being there even if she didn't look that sick at all. But I guess it was the kind of sick that matters. Sometimes when I am yucky I look okay still. But it became obvious to Kaneki that Toka pretends to be strong sometimes. Toka missed school and her friend Yoriko came by with stew. Get well stew. I think Yoriko was going to stay and help Toka feel better but saw a boy and did the right (or wrong) thing by giving space. I think Toka was slightly special in eating the stew to prove her friendship to Yoriko. The girl is never going to know and since Toka can't describe the flavor anyway what is the point? Especially with what Toka says later in the episode. I guess Toka wants to be a good friend even when no one is looking so...you know....more throwing up for her.
 photo tokyoghoulepisode55_zps8475fc19.jpg
Kaneki having a moral dilemma of his own.
Kaneki takes in all this wonderful information about Toka and makes his way home. But since his name is Kaneki something has to go wrong. This time it is a chance encounter with Nishiki. Well him and a few other Ghouls who want to kill Nishiki. He is the kind of guy who makes friends really fast. Also how many Ghouls are in the area. It just seems like there are so many of them. Especially at Shu's party. How are there that many Ghouls and not more murders? This takes place in Japan not Chicago. Anyway Nishiki is getting beat up and instead of walking away like he should Kaneki stops and defends the person who was going to EAT Hide and tried to kill Kaneki. That is just what he does for some reason. Keeps around someone who threatened to eat his friend. Kaneki and his work outs with Yomo helped Kaneki out in his three against one battle which is surprising since Kaneki was tired from the work out and he is new at being Ghoul. Maybe these three Ghouls didn't care enough to really fight?
 photo tokyoghoulepisode57_zps2eb1507e.jpg
Since she just found out about this I will give her a pass at being morally confused on the subject.
For whatever reason Kaneki gets a very sick looking Nishiki home. He is greeted by the worried girlfriend Kimi who takes her anger first out on Kaneki. It might have something to do with the fact that Kaneki put a rather large hole in Nishiki's stomach last time they saw each other. Kimi hasn't really been told the whole story and judging by how Kaneki likes to leave out details she still doesn't know that Nishiki started it. Turns out that since Kaneki blasted a hole in his Nishiki hasn't really been eating. Oh and this girlfriend is human. We had to talk about that first while Nishiki was wasting away into nothing of course. I wish they had spent more time talking about their relationship and how complicated it must be for her to accept things. Things were moving around quite fast in this episode so we got just the basics. I wonder if there are more couples out there like that....Ghoul and human. Probably since they look the same. Kimi doesn't gather the food and I guess she thought Nishiki was killing just the criminals and baddies of the world. She is worried for him and doesn't know how to go about getting food for him. Since Kaneki is best friends with Nishiki he will get the human flesh for his buddy. He'll be right back.
 photo tokyoghoulepisode59_zps8fd487d1.jpg
Terrible is the fact that you need Kaneki to help you out, after you did all the horrible things to him and Hide.
So things turn out really, really bad in a short amount of time. Kimi goes to fetch more coffee as that is the only thing Nishiki can consume. Since Shu is insane he must have been following his dinner Kaneki around and saw his interaction with Kimi. I might have stolen Hide for maximum assurance that Kaneki would show up but since Kaneki likes everyone I guess it doesn't matter. Instead of waking anyone up that lives at the cafe or calling someone to open the cabinets for him...or to even break the cabinets himself Kaneki is like oh well no meat for Nishiki. Like how was that even trying? In the 5 seconds that Kaneki was at the cafe Shu was able to drop a note off to Kaneki stating they had a dinner date and to show up or else Kimi will be dined on alone. Also in the 5 seconds Kaneki gave up looking for meat Nishiki himself shows up at the cafe. He was so weak he needed help home but now even weaker he was able to make it to the cafe by himself. Good thing Kaneki didn't call anyone for help as Kaneki is on their crap list right? If I were Nishiki I might have waited a little longer before assuming the worse but I guess he was right in the end. Kimi is in danger, time to send in the rescue party.
 photo tokyoghoulepisode510_zps4420f3a5.jpg
Yep...this is insanity.
The rescue part of course was only Kaneki and a half dead Nishiki. I could see Kaneki trying to keep things hush hush when it was just a bit of food but now that Shu has gone to crazy town maybe call in a few folks. Yomo maybe? No? It is better to go in this with just Kaneki the new Ghoul and Nishiki the Ghoul who hasn't eaten for a long time? Surely this will end well. Wake me up when it doesn't. Wow that was a fast nap there folks. Shu and his awful wearing clothes greet the boys warmly and explain his plan. For some reason he has decided that Kaneki will taste better if he is eaten while eating himself. OH I SEE FOLKS! This is what insanity looks like. Maybe I would believe this insanity if Shu actually researched the best tasting meal for Kaneki to eat so he can be at his maximum tastiness. Instead he is just picks a girl that Kaneki is talking to. Good thing once again Kaneki has a good heart or he would have been like peace out random girl.
 photo tokyoghoulepisode511_zpsf55850a9.jpg
Even Toka didn't do a great job battling Shu.
While Shu's plan might have been insane he had the power to back it up. A lot of power. A LOT! I think we knew that Nishiki wasn't going to be much help. Like okay he will be a meat shield and die saving Kimi, sorta like redemption. Then I was like....so while Nishiki distracts Shu Kaneki is going to morph into his super Ghoul self? HAHAHA I guess I am delusional. Kaneki was able to do that once before when Hide was on the line but I don't think Rize is going to appear each and every time Kaneki has a bad moment. There are probably going to be certain triggers. Although Rize did hate Shu....Anyway Kaneki and Nishiki were doomed because they didn't invite someone like Toka along to help...oh wait there's Toka! I am going to assume that she was invited or heard all the noise they made downstairs and still knew which makes Kaneki and Nishiki exponentially smarter than I gave them credit for. However...turns out you are what you eat in the Ghoul world. Wish Shu sampling Kaneki the Super Ghoul and Toka being sick off human food...they are back to boned. Nishiki and his empty tummy can only watch as everyone takes their turns getting stabbed nearly to death.
 photo tokyoghoulepisode513_zpsc38dd3eb.jpg
He did start off as a cute little Ghoul kid...
While Kaneki and Toka examine the rather large holes in their stomachs and Shu prepares Kimi to be a salad for Kaneki Nishiki decides now is the time to.....sit there and have a walk down memory lane. He might die next episode so I guess we need to learn about him so when he does splat we will feel bad for him and not remember the fact he threw up and stomped on Hide's head. It was a lot of walking down memory lane surprisingly. Started with Nishiki being a tiny little Ghoul not wanting to kill people. Good thing he had an older sister to take care of him. I am sure they had parents and Doves took them out. This older sister was pretty amazing too, Nishiki's whole world. She did everything for her little brother. So clearly she had to fall in love with a human and he had her killed by Doves in front of Nishiki. This started the young man down a road of I hate everyone and no one can be trusted and people who?! I guess that makes sense but then......
 photo tokyoghoulepisode515_zps7970421b.jpg
Now that Kimi means something to Nishiki it is time to...die?
Yeah folks. Apparently Nishiki met Kimi the day her family was all killed in an accident. He didn't know about the accident, just saw a girl all alone and decided that maybe he could use her. And use her for a long, long time. In the bed and what not. So to be clear he was STILL an asshole when Kaneki kicked his ass, an asshole to Kimi. It wasn't like he learned to love her before that. I am sure once Nishiki got better he was going to kill Hide and Kaneki. The fact that Kimi actually loved him and once she found out he was a Ghoul changed him. She was like MOG....here eat me since my life is yours anyway. AND HE DID IT FOLKS!!!! Like oh what a tasty shoulder you have there. But then Nishiki's heart grew 5 sizes that day, with his mouth full of blood. That might not be a big deal though, like Nishiki has a half a heart now. So yeah...three days ago Nishiki decided he liked Kimi and maybe was going to change his evil ways. Since he hasn't left bed since then we really don't know how much of his behavior would have actually changed.
 photo tokyoghoulepisode516_zpsb21c08e5.jpg
And then Shu loses his mind. Well more than usual.
Nishiki had the will to fight against super Shu but...yeah the body wasn't willing. Nishiki got stabbed about a million more times and left for dead as he tried to save Kimi. This is when Shu decided to brag about having stronger power because of what he eats and Toka agrees with the crazy. So Kaneki does the only logical thing...allow Toka to have a bite out of him. I would have just told her to lick the pooling blood on the ground as that seemed to power up Shu but that wouldn't have been as dramatic. Toka had to bite Kaneki so Shu could have another freak out moment. I am sure Kaneki can just wear a shirt all the time and cover up that wound. Maybe Toka was super careful with how she bit him. Or since everyone was about to die anyway maybe a slight wound doesn't matter anyway. Toka is super powered now folks and is about to kick some ass. A lot of ass hopefully. I guess we will find out next time how many body bags are needed. Til then peace out!

Duffy the Disney Bear Adventures: A Stitch-y kind of day

I reuse Build a Bear boxes to hold all my different toys.
It's been a rather calm summer in this house. Mom and Dad have been busy doing whatever it is they do when they are not taking me out to fun places so I have to find ways to entertain myself. Good thing Mom and Dad got me a lot of toys and outfits to keep me busy. Do I look a lot like Stitch? Sometimes Stitch can be a little bad so I won't act like him, just play nicely with my Cars toys.
