I've just finished the first half of the first season, and I'm not liking it. There's barely any tension, there's no laughs, the plot crawls at a snail's pace.  I like the characters well enough, but they don't think outside of the box.   I was also expecting a twist, like really everything happened in an hour at an accelerated pace and no one really died, but none of that.  I think the capstone was the villain not giving a plausible reason on why he did the things he did, or even seeming evil.

Thor's Hammer, Mjolnir.  Marvel's version, of course.  Gives him a distinctive edge against people who outpower him, like the Hulk.  Acts as a focus for his power over lightning, the weather, opening dimensional portals, etc.

I've watched the whole series on Hulu.  I have not read the manga.

 

I think the series is more or less sound, but I would definitely have directed it differently.   I feel like the characters are a little flat and typed.  My favorite one was Mado, and it's a little sad when you enjoy the villain more than the protagonist.  I would have focused more on the world and history of ghouls, and not on a whiny Shinji Ikari clone.
