One thing that really bothered me the most, and I'm sure happens in the manga too albeit at a probably better pace with some explanation, is all of these fucking form changes going on that didnt happen in the original manga.
In the original Tokyo Ghoul every Kaneki form change was deliberate and happened for a reason. The white hair happened because of the ridiculous amount of physical and mental stress he suffered from torture. The centipede happened because it was his kakuja from cannibalizing other ghouls. His actual Rinkaku was always 3-4 tentacles. It never changed shape to fit the situation.
Meanwhile in :re his rinkaku became 1-2 large tentacles, a spear on his arm, could grow swords out of it, had a fluid like appearance, became a giant centipede/dragon, became angelic wings, and then became body armor/tentacles with giant blades on the end. And his hair magically changed color at the flip of a switch twice to match his personality change.
They also never explained those markings on his face. I thought it was just some cultural makeup shit for the wedding ceremony since Touka had it too and hers came off, but his is just on there and was even changing shape while he was fighting Furuta (which also affected half of it).
They waited till the end of the fight to bring in Takizawa, which was...alright, until naked Washuu showed up out of nowhere like a fucking meme.
Furuta was also a completely shit villain. Dude just wanted to create chaos and watch the world burn. What was his reasoning? He didn't really have any. He thought that life was meaningless, but that doesn't explain a single one of his actions or motives. And then they try to make us feel sympathy for him? Like..what? Dude created his own mini nazi army and systematically planned the massacre of loads of people using Kaneki because he thought life was pointless and we're supposed to feel bad because he was childhood friends with Rize?
Speaking of which, Rize was the core of the dragon roots even though the thing spawned entirely from Kaneki? What? WHAT?
The 6 years later bit was kind of hit and miss too.
Casually showed some of the former CCG employees chilling in a coffee shop. Randomly showed that Naki and Miza had like 35 fucking kids even though they were always at each others throats. They somehow conceived more children than would be possible in 6 years unless they had shitloads of twins and triplets. Hinami and Ayato are a thing now, uh ok. He looks clean cut now at least. They show Nishiki but not Kimi. They show Banjo who was essentially irrelevant, but they don't show Amon Akira or Takizawa. No mention of what happened to Uta or that other pierrot bitch from the nightclub with the big tits who also lived. Oh no mention of Kurona either, but they show that investigator who mentored Suzuya whos name i cant even fucking remember at this point waking up from his coma that was almost a decade long. Might've actually been a decade seeing as how :re was I believe a 2 year time skip after the original, plus the actual timeline of :re was over a few years, and then the 6 year time skip epilogue.
They show Shirazu's grave and mentioned his body was found and his sister was also healed. I know his corpse was abducted by Aogiri in the manga as well, if that's what happened to him in the manga as well as the anime where nothing ever comes of it except for the grave, that's a fucking waste. They hyped it up in the manga like he was going to be an experiment like Rize and Yoshimura.
And then we get to the happily married couple which also irked me. Touka was fine. She got the long anime mom ponytail thing going on thats fine. But then we get to Kaneki and his daughter. First of all, Kaneki still has those weird fucking unexplained markings on his face. Second, he still has white hair. By all sense of logic after 6 fucking years he should be back to his original color. It's only still white for the edge factor. Then we get to his daughter...who has fucking black and white hair, which literally shouldn't be a thing because biologically Kaneki doesn't have two-tone hair, and Touka's hair is blue-ish. The time his hair looked like that was when he was Haise and his hair was returning to it's normal color AS IT SHOULD after years of no stress and trauma. The only reason the daughter's hair was two-tone was to pay homage to his Haise persona and once again for edge factor. Her hair color should be Black, Blue/purple, or a mix of those two. Not black and white two tone. Minor details that tilted the shit out of me only because they were done that way to appease super avid fans who would think that shit is cool.
God I fucking pray this series get's justice and sees a good remake from a better studio like Bones. Keep the voice actors though, they deserve justice and were actually good. Somebody should take the composer from :re outback and shoot that motherfucker though. Laziest sound track composition I've ever seen. "Hey, lets either insert 30 seconds of random piano keys, dead silence, or re-use unravel and the main fight theme from the original series in every major scene, because writing new music is too much work".
