Yeah, I don't give a fuck about that guy. Like, there are other ways to survive other than murdering innocent people. And then being a douche while you do it doesn't do you any favors.

yeah, this really feels like it's just speeding through the manga. I really do wonder what the logic was for this adaptation & skipping so much to fill in 12 episode. Sounds like it should've been stretched out to 24ish.

the series even has a great cutoff read the goddam manga part they could have used.
 
Uhhhhhh lack of drama?

You know it's funny, the end of Parasyte mentioned there were still Parasytes out there but they've learned to stop eating humans and eat animal meat like the rest of us. I know the whole thing with Ghouls is they can't properly digest animals but surely surely they could figure out a way.

What even is it about the human body that's so different from other animal bodies?

It's a really not-fleshed-out concept.

SO whom am I supposed to be rooting for here because I literally hate everybody in this room and want them to die,
 
So why can't ghouls just subsist off mortuary leftovers? When a body is prepared for a funeral a lot of stuff is taken out.

This has always been the central flaw of Tokyo Ghoul, and this is speaking as someone who likes the manga ok; the Ghouls as a whole aren't that sympathetic when you consider the context. The main characters goes out of their ways to avoid causing any problems for society, limiting themselves to Humans who committed society, but they are the minority. All the other Ghouls are varying levels of assholes who only care about themselves.

And the author goes the Akame Ga Kill method of compensating for this morality issue by having the human antagonists being hilariously over the top immoral.

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.

Heh pun, but you're right. They don't seem to go into why human meat is so different and why all other food is impossible to eat.
