I think I'm starting to realize why they're not showing Kaneki much in season 2. It's because they're, once again, trying to shoehorn too much into 12 episodes.

I mean, at this point in the story we got a lot more focus on Kaneki in the manga than we did prior. Not only that, but we also got more focus on other characters like Amon, Suzuya, Akira, etc. in the manga too. Let alone all the added plot development that goes on in it as well. The problem here is that this is way too much content to cover in just 12 episodes. So basically what they did is they removed or changed a lot of Kaneki's focus, development, motives/goals so they'd have enough room to focus on everything else. A great way to do that was to have him join Aogiri, so it not only could be used as an excuse to cut out Kaneki's screen time, but also to cut down on the plot. It also explains why they're not giving us very much anime original content either, because it was probably never their full intention to begin with.
