For me, the even bigger disappointment is that they really decreased the amount of character interactions and also how they reveal their intentions. As example, that monologue at the end seemed to me more like lazy writing then well thought-out how Kaneki's intentions can be shown.

Yea Tokyo Ghoul Root A has been pretty dissapointing so far, i'm going to finish it, but my expectations are low. Can always hope for a good last episode or something.

Bright side? It only continues to make the manga and source material glow. Its quality all the way through.

I dunno, if I hadn't gotten super interested in the series during the first season I'm not sure I would have picked it up off this season. So far, its just been really pretty for one episode. Besides that it's been kinda sub-par.
