Anime Kaneki is great S1, i remember episode 12 S1 how badass he was. S2 though.... Idk maybe its just my expectations as Manga Kaneki is one of my favorite protagonists of all time.

So manga Kaneki is very different? Odd, usually, at least most things they keep the same, Naruto, Ichigo, Guts and others they are pretty much the same in the anime/movies.

I love him. On the outside he became very calm, cool, badass; but on the inside he is still the person he was before.

Manga Kaneki is one of my favourite protags ever (I hate pussy characters like Shinji from NGE or Yuki from Mirai Nikki too)
he has such great character development

But if I was only watching the anime I would be probably agree
they have shown no character development in shitty route a so far

still Yuki? Even Anime Kaneki isn't that horrible
I didn't say he was that terrible. I said he was slightly better

just realize kaneki wasnt that sheepish, asocial, coward and weak even at first. (thats for comic san) there is quite a big difference between being sheepish and gentle. i mean ... just remember the first season, when gourmet arc was going on, he fought and protect himself... i think thats a big difference. c'mon... that coward amano yukiteru.. please...

and kaneki got tortured, people. i dont know if you remember that. barely they dont show kaneki to us in anime but if you think, you can understand his situation a little.
He had one friend and didn't do anything but read books. Take away the friend, replace the books with a cellphone and you have Shittyteru Amano!

Yes he was, but I am not just talking about Root A Kaneki, I am talking about season one Kaneki too. I don't remember any torture scenes before episode twelve, do you?

He at least he had the guts to ask out a girl way out of his league which of course destroyed his life.

i was completely about to write this. thanks Z4k!
he was brave from the beginning 0_0
i think most of the people doesnt like him after he doesnt want to eat human food for a long time at first. they think like "dont whine, just eat it. what is your problem? 0_0" or when hinami's mother got killed, he stood there and did nothing except closing hinami's eyes. at least, my friends thought like that. but i was like "how can you eat it??? just dont eat pleasee!! " or i was paralysed just like kaneki when hinami's mother got killed. and from then, i understood his whole situation. whatever he does, i can understand him 0_0 he is the fool who enters completely a foreign world. so its normal to be a little bewildered or confused at first, isnt it?

Because he had a friend who tried to make him take the first step. How many friends did Shittyteru have?

Then why don't they try to show us different sides of him? All we get to see is 95 % I DONT WANNA BE A GHŪL PPL DIE BUT I DONT WANT 2 DO ANYTHING CUZ IM 2 AFRAID CRI CRI and 5 % other stuff. I can definitely understand if he feels insecure and a bit lost, but it becomes extremely annoying after a while when all he does is whine and cry.

Say whatever you want, but the character development in TG is absolutely terrible and if a character doesn't get any development then I simply don't like him/her. I think anime Kaneki is a great example of a "character that could have been fucking awesome but instead ended up being nothing than an one-sided, irritating crybaby"

I can't help but feel bad for him. he wanted nothing more than to be a human but isn't compatible with the human lifestyle anymore. he was forced to become a ghoul that's why the first season was a bit dull. he was fighting the ghoul side of himself and also trying to live by what his mother taught him. saying that being kind and caring will get you through anything but that obviously wasn't the case. and finally at the last episode of him being tortured by jason, he couldn't take it anymore. i feel bad for him because he didn't want any of this but it was all forced on him. so it was either live as a ghoul and change your entire lifestyle in one night, or die.

He bored me 'till he grew some balls / stopped trying to accumulate victim-points.

Also, as someone who identifies as psychologically androgynous, I was kinda hoping that concept would be explored with Ken, if we are to assume that Rize is actually a sentient part of his personality and not just a hallucination or PTSD symptom. There was even hints to physical androgyny, saying he smelled like a female ghoul, for example *shrugs*.

Disclaimer: Have watched first two seasons on anime, but only read two volumes of manga + one-shot.
