For me it's pretty much the same between older and newer characters. I love both new and old gen but I think I see more fans are attached to the older ones. I mean most of the major confrontation had always been between the original characters since they have far more development and history between them in Part 1. Not to mention, all those tremendous changes, and all those mysteries, teased backstory for significant amount of the original characters, they are likely to be hyped and anticipated by fans.

For example, most people are eager to see Houji/Tatara battle, Seidou/Akira/Amon clash, Kaneki/Amon reunion, Hide, Rize whereabout than Miza's story or even Mutsuki's fate(tho I am interested in them nonetheless) Not to mention most of the newer guys are either underdeveloped or get killed immediately (the exception maybe for the original Qs squad) and we barely get to know them since there are less screentime for them anyways.

I think rather than no longer hype for the characters, I think it's more to the interest towards the plot itself. Most of the characters are pretty much established now and most readers want to know their path and dynamic contribution to the plot.
