Obviously, folks are going to have differing opinions on stuff. I've known folks that wish Re hadn't happened, because they liked the "Rocks fall, everyone dies" unresolved nature of how TG ended.

My argument isn't purely emotional, as much as it may seem so. Like I said, Amon has been one of our viewpoint characters from very early on. He provides half of our story, and serves to guide us through the half of the world Kaneki is not involved with.

Honestly, I think it's a mistake to be so dismissive of "what fans want", since ultimately Tokyo Ghoul is a product being sold to the masses. As such, there is a delicate balance that needs to be maintained. They have to be cautious about alienating the audience, or pissing them off. While real life can be unresolved, and people randomly die.....in fiction there is an expectation that the narratives and plotlines we follow will have pay-off. In general, dropping threads like that is poorly received.

(There's actually a trope for it: "Dropped a bridge on him". It mocks the way one of the Star Trek movies brought back Captain Kirk, just to have him randomly die.)
