Preach!
What I simply don't understand I guess is that why do people kept reading TG and finished the first TG without understanding that the franchise is a plot heavy one. They completed 14 volumes of TG yet now complains about PLOT in TGRE. TGRE is technically consistent with plot and character development. Ishida only delivers what the series is suppose to deliver. Romance is part of the plot but never its main focus nor it's purpose thus it was never a genre for TG. The people who complain should have dropped TG even before finishing 14 volumes and now complain how stupid it is now, because then it was already stupid in the first place.
So true.
I think it just got better because the plot keeps growing and giving at least some focus on different aspects of the life of normal people, there's not only drama or comedy in someone's life, there's so much more complexity than that.
And the author keeps the most important point of this serie the same as that in the beggining (for me at least). I Still can't choose a side, can't pint point the morals behind the characthers nature, can't argue the unbiased method to put those same characters trough good and bad. All in all it's an exquisite balance that can only be achieved with lots of thought and hard work.
WORD. It's like you are reading real people. Making characters feel as human as possible takes a lot of effort from the author and Ishida does it so well. That is why it's hard to choose sides because Ishida established well that humanity is beyond your biological make, it is all about intelligence and emotions, which ghouls are capable of. Humans are not the only beings who are capable of those. The series gotten this long because we need to understand humanity to make sense of the war the story is heading to. And on top of that, Ishida uses tarot cards, mythology, etc to expand the reading experience.
Seems like a lot of people do not understand the significance of Kaneki being in a relationship with Touka. It's not for fan service nor shift in genre. It's called PLOT AND CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. Kaneki needs to find his reason to live, to be able to make decisions properly, to avoid being reckless, and to STOP being suicidal.
If you think this is fan service or this is shit, then you are butthurt because your ship did not happen or because you don't know who the characters are. Right? The author is simply adding depth to the characters and their probable actions in the coming events. Forgot about the genre DRAMA at the top? HOW DO YOU CREATE DRAMA? Isn't it by crushing the happiness of characters? What makes Kaneki happy? What did Kaneki wanted all his life? How do you take something by not having it first? Ishida is creating something before he disrupts it and make everything emotional. How does he disrupt it? Through Horror and Action.
Please, don't mention Shoujo if don't even know what that genre entails.
