As a manga reader, I was really excited to have an anime adaption. I knew Studio Pierrot wasn't the best animation studio for something as big and in-depth as Tokyo Ghoul. I don't understand why they would make a season 2 and not put any effort into making it a faithful adaption considering that Tokyo Ghoul is a series that contains LOTS of content. I was looking forward to Root A, especially because it was an alternate story because then that would mean they wouldn't leave out so many things and we would get more original content. But they basically included parts from the manga with a few original scenes. I was hoping for more insight on Aogiri's motives considering that Kaneki chose this path instead. Root A left out so many plot holes, and I'm not saying this for the sake of manga readers, but only-anime watchers must be so confused on a lot of things. For example, Kurona and Nashiro had a few appearances in the first 4 episodes or so and then after that they just disappeared? What was their purpose exactly? Despite all the loss of character development, we still have so many unanswered questions from the anime alone. And I really doubt they would animate :RE so soon. It would just be all the more confusing and there's not enough content to animate since there's only 22 chapters so far. As much as we'd like to have a faithful adaption by another studio, it's very rare for it to happen. I'm pretty sure we're all glad that we got an anime, but Root A is pretty disappointing for an "alternate" story.
