Tokyo Ghoul (Superpowerful Zombie-vampires)

Some high school student it's getting attacked by one of these Ghouls and an accident sends both victim and attacker to the hospital, where the attacker dies and the doctors make the very unethical decision of transplanting from the dead mugger into the student, turning him into a (you'll never guess it) half-ghoul. For some plot convenient reason, half ghouls are more powerful than normal ghouls.

This shows the first season has all that Anime should have. It's visually striking, cleverly funny, and somewhat innovative. The fights, very important for an action Anime, are top-notch. The Ghoul society is varied and interesting, the characters are more or less developed, I was hooked and everyone was happy... But after that things go downhill, real fast. The second season is not as good as the first but still interesting, after that it's plain unwatchable. So, 9/10 for the first season, 6/10 for the second. The rest remains unrated but it would score pretty low, I'm sure.
