I second the motion for a total reboot. As much as I liked the first season, Root A derailed a lot. Heck, Root A didn't even make sense; if you Google up Sui's original drafts, it mentions Kaneki joining Aogiri to go after the One-Eyed King.

Here's the problem with that: can anyone even more familiar with the anime than I am remember if the phrase "One-Eyed King" ever came up? If it surfaced, it was only for a minute. Having that be a plot point and barely mentioning it earlier would be awkward.

Disclaimer: Root A did some things right. The OST was pretty good, the slightly greater focus on Eto made sure that nobody would ever mistake her identity again, and if I recall, Irimi and Koma got a bit more development. It's a shame the protagonist's development and "who killed Rize?" subplot had to be all but botched for their sakes. As-is, it wouldn't work well with TG:re.

Wake me when someone reboots.
