Tokyo Ghoul is one of the most popular and celebrated dark fantasy anime of all time. Underneath all of the flashy violence, horrifying antagonists, intricate battles, and crazy special effects lies the immensely poignant tale of Kaneki attempting to maintain his humanity and not succumb to what has now become biological to him. But its creator, Sui Ishida, does not personally think so. Even so, it’s not entirely unexpected to hear that someone doesn’t like the anime.
Fans have already expressed dissatisfaction and described it as a disaster when compared to the manga. It allegedly declined starting with Season 3, to the point where viewers were so perplexed that they were unable to even recognize the individuals or the relationships between them.

Opinion from the creator stuns Internet
In a discussion about the German release of Choujin X, creator Sui Ishida addressed the interviewer’s claim that Tokyo Ghoul was a hit by saying:
“As a premise, I don’t really consider Tokyo Ghoul a success. For me, success is when I feel like I’ve drawn something well. When I think about it, I don’t actually ask that it be well received in society or that many people like it. So, success for me is whether I can praise myself for it or not.”
These remarks from the anime series’ creator shocked the audience and prompted conversation. Notably, the creator of the series did not assert that the series was severely poor but rather that it was not his best work, as his definition of success was when he was happy with his work rather than what people thought or what may be deemed a commercial success.
Ishida also discussed his difficulties relating to readers, admitting that he is unsure of how his writing resonates with them. He began by saying, “I have no precise idea what kind of people like to read my manga,” and then added that obsessing over it too much makes his artwork “weird.” He is alleged to continually try to get past the obstacle of not feeling connected to his intended viewers when he draws. He concluded by saying that he is content if people enjoy his work after “overcoming my hurdles.”

A psychological side of the protagonist, Kaneki Ken
Over the course of the series, Kaneki’s state of mind goes through significant transformations. Prior to being tortured, Kaneki occasionally referred to his activities as “we” or “us,” though usually under strain. Kaneki embodies his emotions to the point where he adopts the shape of actual individuals. He named him “Sasaki,” the “other” self he had within himself.
Sasaki came to see that his psychological models of “Rize” and “Hide” were all merely visible displays of his innermost wishes and emotions, thanks to “Hide’s” advice. Sasaki concluded that after Hide started thinking this way, he started to want to live again because he thought Hide would stop him if he went past his own limits.
After being battered by Juuzou and Abara down to just his body and head of flesh, Kaneki once more withdraws into the depths of his thoughts. His multiple versions get together and talk about what went awry and what they ought to have done. His many personalities eventually clash, causing havoc to ensue before they all come to the realization that they all need to save Touka. Kaneki questions whether he is prepared to cross the threshold and kill people and children after coming to this conclusion while posing as his numerous identities. He replies, “I will,” adding that he will “press forward, like a centipede.”
