any catharsis in the literary sense you’ve seen/anticipated in both tg/tg:re?

Oh, tons of it. I don’t think I could list it all. The Anteiku Raid was all cathartic–tragic, but beautiful–Yoshimura, Kaneki, Hide, Irimi and Koma, and especially Shinohara. The Rose Arc also ended on a semi-cathartic tone for Shirazu and definitely cathartic for  Karren, though not for Hairu–there was nothing cathartic about her death. Kaneki’s decision to live in Cochlea. Yomo’s almost-death in Cochlea. Mado’s death in the Doves Emergence Arc. Juuzou’s confrontation with Big Madam. Mutsurie hug. Akira sacrificing herself for Seidou on Rushima. 

What I anticipate: Urie coming clean about his feelings for Mutsuki. All the Qs coming to terms with Shirazu’s passing. Tsukiyama dealing with his family’s sacrifice again and taking over the family legacy. Kaneki tearing down that goddamn throne and coming to a true understanding of himself and still finding a home. Hinami completing her journey from child to adult (likely with Ayato). Touka and Kaneki holding their baby. Amon coming to terms with the fact that Donato did love him to an extent.
