I honestly don’t know. I don’t much like nihilistic stories, and Kaneki’s conclusion that Sen Takatsuki’s books were written by someone who was very angry at the world for some reason make me think the books were nihilistic, though if they weren’t I would probably read them.
I also do like the idea of the Hanged-Man McGuffin. Have your read Dostoyevsky’s House of the Dead? Or the first few chapters of The Idiot? Both of those works deal with what you describe, prison and the death penalty. House of the Dead in particular is short and based on Dostoyevsky’s own experiences being imprisoned and undergoing a mock execution. He was very very anti-death penalty after that (which I am too), but the psychological way he explores the prisoners’ minds is really gripping especially when you know he has firsthand knowledge of what it’s like.
*dramatically looks off into the distance* A good story.

Actually, that’s all I want. If things that I don’t want to happen happen but make for a good story, that’s okay with me in the end. But personally, my wishlist:
グルステ感想&次回作妄想(*‘▽’)原作ファン&アニメ好きホイホイな演出が多々あって…嬉しかったです…///月山さんの歌×③、CDとか作ってほしい…。歌&歌詞が素敵でした。プロジェクションマッピングを使った戦闘シーン等も綺麗でした…!アオギリ編もあったらいいなーー!滝澤くんも…!出たらいいなぁ…!(切実)
“Because I want to take this fucked up, piece of shit world, fuck it up even more and then give it a factory reset.”
“I see. That’s great”.
