I was also disappointed by Tatara's apparent death but... I disagree with the criticism to Ishida; true, he seems to be fond of killing on a pretty simple way strong characters; I did expected to know more (A lot more) about him and Noro. And about Eto and how her abilities work, all before Ishida killed them. But... that's why Tokyo Ghoul is a Seinen-Shonen: strong characters, even the strongest ones are still "human" (not literally). They may be strong but they can still be defeated by a lucky strike, a surprise attack or just by beeing weekened for emotions and mental unstability.

Kaneki's forte is for example precisely the opposite: he is not the strongest (yet) but he is an skilled tactician, very smart, able to read the opponent and plan accordingly. The same way a very strong Ghoul like Tatara can be easily defeated when he is raging, facing the killer of his clan, not thinking straight but acting berserker. A cold, calm, precise Tatara may have been able not only to defeat Hoji but even, who knows, Takizawa.

That's what makes TG great, its characters are not as shonen-like as they could be. Strong, but not gods; they are able fighters, but they can also be defeated very quickly if the right things happen.
