I felt the same way until it was revealed that the second season would be an anime original story written by the mangaka. And 24 episodes? Yes, please!
I'm not gonna get my hopes up too high, but I am looking forward to it.
I actually liked Tokyo Ghoul, although I would say too it has some elements of other anime, but they used it very well, however the ending is totally bulls*** and I hope they will fix it with the beginning of the second season. biggrin
