I suppose people that are only there to watch "Kaneki be badass" and fight people won't care. Everyone else that wants a coherent plot, character development, and a decent story won't get it.

Trying to adapt :Re would have enormous plotholes you could drive a truck through, because the story relies on a lot of things that Root A staff decided to toss out.

Like I said, the secondary plot that leds up to the climax of the first part of :Re cannot be done properly. The Rose stuff influences all the other Arcs in :Re, leading up to the big climax on the roof of the L.E. Building and Kaneki regaining his memories. If they just turn it into an emotionally-empty Action Fest.....I guess it would be enough to keep people only there for the fight scenes happy? But the central motivations and emotional conflict wouldn't be there. There'd be no reason be Sasaki to be conflicted, no reason for Kanae to have such extreme jealousy because Kaneki's just food, and no reason for any of Shuu's actions. We lose the emotional conflict from Sasaki being used to destroy a former ally, since Shuu was never anything but an enemy to him in the anime.

It'd be one big trainwreck of scrambling to explain stuff they left out in Root A, or otherwise just abandoning entire chunks of story.
