Tokyo Ghoul S (2019)

Une suite dans la continuité du premier film

Je dois tout d'abord dire que je n'ai jamais lu le manga ni vu l'anime... (Même si j'avais vu le premier épisode, la violence de celui-ci m'avait assez rebuté à l'époque. Aujourd'hui, puisque mon état d'esprit n'est plus le même, il y a de forte chance que je finisse par regarder l'anime.)
Je ne suis donc partie d'aucun préjugé par rapport à l'histoire et n'aurais de ce fait, probablement pas le même avis qu'un fan du manga.

Pour moi, l'histoire de ce deuxième film continue là où c'était arrêté le précédent, dans le sens où on voit l'évolution de Kaneki dans ce monde où il ne connait pas encore bien les codes. On le voit d''ailleurs beaucoup galérer puisque sa vision des choses reste fortement humaine.

Côté casting, je reste fan de "Kubota Masataka" (malgré son personnage naïf à l'extrême) et ai été bluffée par "Matsuda Shota" que je n'avais encore jamais vu dans le rôle de méchant ! Je dois dire que le rôle de psychopathe en puissance lui va comme un gant =D !

Great Movie!

Two main watching points: Matsuda Shota’s acting and Yamamoto Maika’s fighting scenes

Matsuda Shota did an outstanding job in portraying the villain Tsukiyama Shu. While being able to act as a good looking gentleman he is this perverted ghoul lusting for Kaneki’s meat. The scenes in which he smelled and tastes Kaneki make the viewers crouch in disgust which clearly demonstrates his wide range of acting ability. The famous scene of Tsukiyama smelling Kaneki’s blood could have been more exaggerated I was really looking forward to it. But I do admit it is difficult...

The other watchpoint is the fighting scenes, esp. that of Maiko, who is acting Toka-chan. The moves and so clearly defined and beautifully choreographed. They are further emphasized by the beautiful CG (such as her Kagune), and the backgrounds and lightings. The final fighting scene with Kaneki and Tsukiyama is really epic so that the viewer's eye are stuck to the screen to not miss any kick or hit.
I watched the movie in the plane but wished I would have watched them in the theatre just because of the scenes.

Storywise they stick quite close to the original materials so that there is nothing new. They focused solely on the few moments with Tsukiyama and the fighting but not the others so that for those who are looking more story development might be disappointed. But this was ok for me as I liked Tokyo Ghoul for the fighting scenes and was looking forward to how the movie would realize those and the producer surely did not disappoint me.
