This anime was basically just a game of "guess which character has come back to life as a ghoul since you last saw them". Now, I actually don't have much of a problem with anime removing scenes from the source material as long as the story still makes sense and keeps you hooked. With this show, as a non-manga reader, I just found myself confused and puzzled at many of the plot points. I constantly asked myself "hey, wasn't this guy supposed to be dead?" It was kinda explained later on but the characters weren't surprised at these people just showing up again out of nowhere, it felt like everyone was in on a secret apart from you.
I do believe that if everything was actually explained, this anime could've been much better. I wish they had given the show more time to explain plot points instead of just thrusting them at you. At least the ending was satisfying I guess. I doubt there's any new perspective I could give on this. I would recommend the manga but I haven't read it so I couldn't really do that in good faith.
