Talk:Tokyo Ghoul: Jack (OVA)/@comment-26967758-20151021164704

Well, just saw this adaptation, and while I liked the some of the actions they took, it was obviously poorly paced, could have expanded much more and split this into two parts, spend more time into developing Minami's characters, and Fura's friends so that we liked them more rather than just throw them in there for a complete plot moving device.

I'm aware and have read the manga, but there's also lots of bits they clipped off, despite most of these coming straight from the pages itself. As usual again.

Although, I'd like to note something. I finally understand why it's called JACK, thanks to the logo of the OVA. Seeing the House of Spades signs on the logo and Arima's title of Knight (which Minami describes him as resembling as well as how his name sounds like it too) kind of makes sense, when you think about it, the Jack is the next closest male card to the King, almost like a Knight. So it's basically just a play on metaphors, the name literally meaning Arima in his younger days, before he became the "King" he is now.
