Some say that anime has bad pacing, but it's not anime, actually, but manga, too. I picked up the manga recently and decided to give a chance to anime while I was somewhere on volume 9 and I can say that anime simply fleshes out all of the flaws of the manga. You may not feel it in manga since one scene can take a few more pages, thus little time to consume, but in the end, it also has the same gaps: it jumps from one thing to another, introduces even more characters just to attempt to show that characters are not special, which is pointless, since we know they are. And besides majority if not all of characters are pretty flat. They are not flesh out, they seem to lack proper motivation to their action and in majority of cases here it does keep up the intrigue at all. There are too many plot gaps, too, like why Takizawa is a ghoul now, let alone a crazy one, why Juzo has black hair and why Haise's hair changes colors so frequently for almost no reason and with no logic to that? What's Uta's goal? Why so many girls dress up like boys in here?
Dropping anime, since it does not bring any value besides color, but will keep to the manga, since I hope to find some answers at least.
