My objections to trying to make this a simple moral conflict aside, I totally get why this would not be someone's cup of tea. There's been mention of this being a terrible adaptation, but even without that, this really strikes me as the kind of thing you're either all in for or aren't.
But also that, when you make the first Ghouls we see cartoonishly evil, and then bring in the likes of Mado...

Yeah, I feel as though they could have used another character a bit more......gray in a sense?
This guy was basically some generic villain dude who falls flat on his face even with the heartwrenching backstory
Warrior to the very end! My tumblr, dood!Yeah, I usually feel for Ax-Crazy killers, but Mado was just a bastard that went too far. I personally draw the line at killing a young child's mother and then bragging about it to their faces.
And speaking of Even Evil Has Loved Ones, the Spiders. They can all die in a ditch. Even if Machi and Shizuka are cuties.
"Just wants a friend but had to give up his ding dong for it, tragic." - AngelLightStarI think the way that this guy could be seen as a hero and be mourned by his colleagues is a good way for the series to show how total th divide between the two species is. His human colleagues don't see his sadistic work as bad, because he's doing it to Ghouls.

I have a message from another time...![]()
As the saying goes, there are two sides to every coin.
Copycat.

Chrollo and Feitan don't exactly strike me as paragons of sanity.

"Just wants a friend but had to give up his ding dong for it, tragic." - AngelLightStar@ Lennik: Yeah, I think everyone here agrees with you on that. It's just that we've only seen Mado in one setting as opposed to a more multifaceted depiction, which is why the humanizing aspect of that final flashback falls short.
"Just wants a friend but had to give up his ding dong for it, tragic." - AngelLightStarTrademark that.
This should be a very satisfying fight, though I know Chrollo's going to somehow survive this.

Yup there's a thing called nuance.
Making characters that follow either extremes to an unrealistically cartoonish degree kinda wrecks the message your going for.
