What went so horribly wrong

the first part was kino
:re was a little lacklustre and hyperextended, but the beginning was comfy, but everything in between big madame and arima fight was garbage with a few good shirazu moments. everything afterwards was garbage until the very end. kaneki vs furuta and most of the dragon arc was a masterpiece.

the main criticism of :re was that there were too many characters and subplots, which makes serial reading with chronic releases a nightmare since its hard to keep up when youre reading it as it releases instead of reading the entire thing as a whole.
in addition many important and likeable characters, such as tsukiyama, nishio, shachi, and tatara lost their entire purpose, import, and personalities.

based naki was still kino though

Cast bloat
Subplot bloat
Author blatantly got bored/burnt out
Furuta and his contrived ass plans
The entire last quarter.

This, this and this

Nothing, the OG was one of the greatest things to happen to this medium and :RE is a misunderstood masterpiece with few flaws.

It was supposed to be niche relatively short manga, but then it exploded in popularity that the author had no choice but to milk it until it eventually lost it soul.

This but unironically

But I think the author planned a sequel/at least some of the stuff in :re beforehand, it was probably supposed to be much shorter though

Being a ghoul was ultimately just a aesthetics gimmick with little to no consequence other than having cool powers.
It was always just a edgy power fantasy.

LMAOOOOO

Based. Fuck all these buzzword spouting underaged like this guy who jumped on the anime hype train but never touched the manga.
