I can't speak for anywhere else, but from what I've experienced a good portion of this Wiki would like a reboot from another company. I think Mad House has been the most popular suggestion. It was too short and a lot of stuff was cut out. Even with season 1 there was stuff left out that was inexcusable. When I got into the series, I knew the anime was based on a manga and had heard it was inferior, but decided to check it out first anyway because I wanted to judge it on its own merits. Up till episode 24, as Kaneki was walking towards Arima and the proverbial curtain was about to drop, I was still asking myself: "what the blue blazes is a kagune!?" I understand having to cut information for time, but I don't understand how they could leave out something like that out of all things.

To play Devil's Advocate for a moment though, I think nowa days most studious prefer doing 12 episode shows as opposed to 24. I'm not savvy on the workings of the anime industry, but the way I understand it is that it hasn't been going so hot. There aren't funds to make approximately 24 episode anime like before, so many studios have cut down unless they have a series they know for a fact can rake in the dough. It that way, it's sort of understandable. They probably could've worked it better, but it's sort of understandable.
