I think it's all a blessing and a curse. It has really expanded the possibilities of the plot and has added a lot of hype to the series. I'm referring more to the reveleations than the Kaneki stuff. At the same time, while theories and thoughts are fun and all, it does seem all over the place and again, while the teases are always fun, I keep on waiting for some explanation. Honestly, we all remember when part 1 ended and there were so many things unexplained. To this day many things on that list are still unexplained, if not even more complex, and dare I say convuluted, than before. Like you said, I have faith that Ishida will be able to tie it all together, but it needs to start happeneing at least relatively soon. I also agree that the Eto flashback was sorta unneccessary, and the time could've been used better to advance the plot of this arc. I also am somewhat tired of continously getting mind-wrecked by the continuos one-ups that are constantly being thrown into the plot. Yes, they are awesome, Yes, they are hype AF and can POTENTIALLY really add to the plot. But if the game of oh Kaneki's using Furuta, no Furuta is using Kaneki(and wait Arima is involved too), and oh wait! it's very likely Eto is playing Kaneki, but wait is Kaneki playing Eto?, and oh wait have we all forgotten about the Clowns? is Furuta a part of the Clowns?, doesn't start to stop soon then I just don't know.

My main problem is Kaneki. I enjoyed this new phase initially, and still do to an extent, but it really feels like he's just a walking mask right now. We have no idea as to his real intentions, and only slightly more insight into his personality, mindset, etc. People, including myself, have thrown around that he's the most "whole" he's ever been, the most "clear-headed." I still think that can easily be the case, but it's so annoyingly hard to tell. I really hope that he throws aside all the bullshit in this arc and airs out everything. At least as Sasaki he felt like a real person, albeit very confused. Now, while he is cool to watch, is very distant, unreadable, and does not seem at all like Kaneki, at the least any of the personas we have been with before. In of itself that is not a bad thing, in fact it adds yet another dimension to his character. However, if things are not cleared up soon then it will just become tedious and annoying. I will say I enjoy the unsettling factor of his character though; it sort of adds suspense.
