@Rigigerald First of all, "delisted" just meant that the official Chinese website for Tokyo Ghoul removed the notification for the second season. Afterwards, Studio Pierrot continued with the reveal of the 2nd season at the TG Secret Event, where it was originally supposed to be announced anyway. There was no pandering to the 99% of fans like you suggest.

Second, there was absolutely zero indication of Ishida's dissatisfaction with the anime ever. Literally the only information given was that Ishida is credited with the story concept for Season 2 (Tokyo Ghoul S2 PV) and that he already drew a name; respecting the wishes of the author, Morita and Studio Pierrot went with the name for the second season (TG Secret Event). Ishida isn't directing anything because that would be suicide to do in addition to his weekly manga. Lastly, the second season will not be loyal to the manga, as it explicitly states in the PV AND the article.

My frustration isn't directed at you in particular, but at everyone in the English fandom in general for spreading gross misinformation without once providing concrete sources. Literally all it takes is a 5 minute Google search to find out for yourself, and some common sense. (Like, do you REALLY believe Ishida would insult the people who make the anime of his story? That makes neither financial nor cultural sense, considering Japan's/Asia's norm of politeness.)
