My biggest issue with Tokyo Ghoul is that I find the story and characters not interesting. I'm so sick of the "Main character starts off as a wimpy shy human and slowly becomes some type of badass later on". This trope has been done to death that I'm bored of it. Not to mention I also find the animation to be lack luster at times from looking "That was very nicely animated" to "Wow they must have run low on money fast".
The series wants to introduce some deep philosophy behind humans oppressing ghouls but the ghouls literally only survive by eating humans and are complete sociopaths with no regard for human life. Too bad none of it was done very well in my opinion. I may sound harsh on the show, but I really did not like it at all. I guess the hype of the show really hurt it for me.
The anime blows through a lot of the development or just skips it outright in order to make it more of a shonen action series, and then season 2 (Root A) just completely abandons the manga. Trust me when I say this, the manga is FAR superior. There's much more focus on the ghouls as individuals and Kaneki struggling with how he has to live.
Anyways, I've been watching Gunbuster. The pacing is a bit odd, but it's actually kind of refreshing. I'm REALLY enjoying it so far, and about to start episode 5.
