@BananaBoatJim:
Hopefully this is the right spot to post this question.
I just finished watching the first season of Tokyo Ghoul and I did enjoy it, but not as much as I thought (could of been the massive hype around it).
I'm a little interested in how the story progresses, should I watch the next Root A series, or should I just read the manga?
Please read the manga, starting from chapter 1. The anime, being only 12 episodes or so per season, cuts out a lot of stuff and changes things around for no reason. It's present in season 1, but only worsens in Root A, where the story claims to be a completely different story, but is actually still a watered down version of the manga.
Readingt the manga gives you the full story, no censorship, better looking artwork, and better themes.
