Well I wish they'd have made 36 episodes, cuz you can't expect to put another 5 big arcs into 12 episodes, but I guess they have their limits, and I think they're doing just fine. If you were to drag the auction arc over more than 12 episodes, people wouldn't watch cuz 12 times 24 is a big time.

So basically, 4-5 episodes are, like Voltairefan said, pretty reasonable, and since after the Tsukiyama arc Kaneki remembers his past and his basically just Kaneki pretending to be Haise, it's a good place to make a pause. I think they did a rather good job, I just hope they don't squash the next stuff too much since you'll basically have to put Rushima + Cochlea, which is one big arc, the Lab Infiltration as they can't just leave Akira, and then Goat Migration + Goat Wipeout and finally the Dragon Arc, they all aren't entirely small arcs, and you have some more little arcs that are important as well, like Furuta's Integrity Enquiry.

Stuffing all of it in 12 episodes is pretty hard, hope the don't rush it too much.
