Man, I wonder when he'll finally eat human flesh. Seems like a matter of time considering he can't get substance from anything else.

He can.

At one point I think Kaneki says a burger tastes like raw pig intestines. How and why does he know that flavour? Lol

You'll have to lay this one out for me as I've never understood it. What classifies something as being edgy? Like I personally just dont see it most of the time.

If using explicit content or dark themes more for the actual shock effect or a sense of cool factor rather than for theme exploration and character development, then it can easily count as edgy.

There is good edge if such events in a series actually contains the latter two points. For example, the Eclipse in Berserk or :donovan are edge done right as they have a permanent effect on the characters. On the other hand, something such as Kaneki's cannibalising power up is completely lacking in substance and just there for the gore, so it can easily count as poor edge.

The example you pointed out is a good one of poor edge since, as you said, there's no way Kaneki should really know about it and seems to only be put in there for a superficial sense of seeming dark.

Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. And I can completely agree on that. Said power up is one of the biggest issues I have in the manga.

You have to put care into it as if the cup of coffee is the child that you plan on molesting.

They're ok. Amon is pretty gay at the start but he gets some development. I like that the CCG major players all have their backstories fleshed out, so they actually have reasoning for killing ghoul.
