Most fans are looking forward to the
announcement of a full remake of the anime series, one that closely follows the
plot of the original manga. However, many fans are being
cautious, as in the past, teasers and announcements for the franchise have
resulted in less exciting reveals, such as episodes being posted for free on
YouTube instead of new content. In addition to a possible remake, speculation
also includes a new Blu-ray collection, possibly with remastered episodes and
additional content, or even a simple digital re-release.
“ Tokyo Ghoul ” is an anime series
produced by Pierrot based on the manga of the same name created by Sui
Ishida . The first season aired from July to September 2014. A second
season, titled “ Tokyo Ghoul √A ”, aired from January to March
2015. The third and final season, titled “ Tokyo Ghoul: Re ”,
aired from April to December 2018 in two parts. The manga ran in Shueisha’s
seinen manga magazine Weekly Young Jump from September 2011 to
September 2014, with a total of 14 compiled book volumes.
One of the biggest criticisms of the
anime adaptation of “Tokyo Ghoul” was the drastic change in the story during
the second season. Unlike the first season, which
closely followed the manga’s plot, the second season took a completely
different direction. Instead of continuing the original plot, the anime
introduced elements and events that were not present in the manga, which caused
confusion and discontent among fans. This change not only altered the
development of the characters, but also affected the sequence of crucial
events, creating significant inconsistencies with Sui Ishida’s original work.
This narrative departure is one of the
reasons why many fans are eagerly awaiting a faithful manga remake. They
want to see an adaptation that does justice to the complexity and depth of the
original story, something they feel the anime series failed to fully capture.
With the announcement coming soon and expectations at an all-time high,
we can only wait and see what surprises Tokyo Ghoul has in store for
its 10th anniversary.
