The anime is a 10/10 its one of the best ever but the problem is this says (original japanese version) yes it is in subbed but its way too censeroed they made it so its basically TV-14 not TV-MA they really made it very unenjoyable i suggest you dont buy this unless you like censored anime.its not low blood its that they blur it out and black it out and change colors. Please make it uncensored.

I love this anime, but the google play version has much to be desired. If there was no censorship, it would greatly improve the quality. Its a mislabeled product, don't call it "Original Japanese Version" if its been censored. Also, the addition to the English dub would of been nice . 4/5

Tokyo Ghoul is an amazing show. Loved it! What bothered me the most is that season one and root A were too short. 2 seasons weren't enough for this great ass anime.
