I don't think Ishida would have wasted time on the draft, if he wanted them to just chuck it.

Honestly, while the second season had a LOT of good stuff overall the finished product is very flawed and weak. So many plot holes, a loss of character development, and too much filler.

They could have spent less time on random "TOUKA IS STUDYING AND WORRIED" scenes, and instead focused on Kaneki in Aogiri. There are a lot of problems that could have been fixed by a single shot or extra scene. Like, give us a shot of Kaneki's body at the end......or Touka spotting Haise from a distance and smiling. Or him waking up in the CCG hospital, or greeting Akira at the grave site.

And Kanou talking to Eto, like in the manga.

I have to imagine the anime viewers are super confused, with so many plot holes. Like...I can infer Amon was taken by Aogiri, but the anime gives no hint of why he's not there. And we can infer that Arima trashed Kaneki, and they kind of set up Haise with Marude and Commander Washuu realizing who Kaneki is and wondering what they should do with him. But there's so little pay off.
