Tokyo Ghoul anime was a terrible adaptation, hopefully the 2nd cour is better.

Really? I had heard otherwise.

The manga was very psychological and had a LOT of symbolism. Not only did the anime cut nearly all of that out, they had to ham fist a few scenes for it to make sense. Hopefully the 2nd Cour will be better since the mangaka, Ishida, is the lead writer for it.

All that good stuff happened later in the manga, there were only some bits in the beginning that were even present, and its mostly just referring to a book that Kaneki had, which happened to be foreshadowing more than anything, I may be missing something else.

Well,

Spoiler

the whole thing with Rize was changed in the anime given that he started hallucinating her much earlier. A big part of that was that, during Jason's torture, he held onto her as a symbol of his strength. It wasn't anything to do with his surgery, like the anime incorrectly implies given how it is set up, it was due to him coming out the other side a little worse for wear. The anime also lacks the goat egg and Kafka symbolism that both Eto and Kaneki share. Among the other buts and pieces, it never even touched on the Tarot symbolism from the manga whatsoever.

For those who don't want to spoil themselves, they basically ripped out all the symbolism and Kafka references from the manga and completely fucked the development. That's why I'm relieved that they're not bothering to follow the manga now, because there's no way it could turn our any way but a train wreck if they did that.

Ja.

Well, I can't say that I'm actually familiar enough with his work to catch the references that would be in the source manga. Is the plot dependent on them or something, that the lack of them in the anime is inherently bad?

Ishida slips in a ton of Tarot cards into the manga's art. One of the most noticeable ones is in this page:

Kaneki represents the hangman arcana. Look it up, it makes the manga more interesting on a second read.

The Naruto movie obviously. They fight in space and on the fucking moon.
