For better or for worse, TG has a lot of characters. The focus rotates so often, I'm not always sure who is supposed to get more focus in the character development department and who's not. For example, counting Shirazu we've had seven Quinx. Urie and Mutsuki are the only ones who have had a lot of character development. Shirazu had a decent amount, but was killed off, and Saiko had a bit. There are the three new ones who the plot hasn't had time to explore because they showed up at around Kaneki's Black Reaper phase. With the way things are now, I'm...not sure how relevant they're supposed to be. Granted, they're new characters so they'll get more exploration at some point, but they're hard to measure. I can't tell if they're "fodder"/plot devices, or if we're legitimately supposed to expect more from them.

I kind of take these things in stride because Ishida has a tendency to address things a million years later and his ride is wild, but if things were to be examined closely, the balance is off in some places I think.
