Report Indicates That A New Tokyo Ghoul Anime Is In The Works
There is speculation and buzz on social media platforms about a potential new anime project for Tokyo Ghoul. While there is no official confirmation yet, fans may hear an announcement regarding the project in July 2024.
Given the mixed reception of the manga’s first anime adaptation, fans are eager for a chance at redemption. If executed well, this new project has the opportunity to be a successful anime series, given the impressive source material it is based on.
Tokyo Ghoul’s new anime might be announced next month
Reports from Japan suggest that a new Tokyo Ghoul anime project could be in development, although no official confirmation has been made yet. The rumored announcement is expected to take place on July 3, 2024, at 6 p.m. JST. Fans are hopeful for more updates on the project soon, including details about the release date and animation studio involved.
Notably, the 2014 anime adaptation of Tokyo Ghoul did not meet fans’ expectations, as it deviated from the original manga by Sui Ishida. This disappointment has spurred hopes for a more faithful adaptation in the future, which might finally be realized.
Why is the Tokyo Ghoul anime so disliked?
Fans typically expect anime adaptations to stay true to the original manga while delivering a high-quality audio-visual experience. Studio Pierrot’s rendition of Tokyo Ghoul in 2014’s first season fell short on the former expectation.
Although the initial season closely followed Ishida’s manga, it deviated on important plot points and character development. Despite its shortcomings, fans still praised the season for its soundtrack and impactful moments. However, the second season completely diverged from the manga’s narrative, disappointing fans who were eager for a faithful adaptation. A successful upcoming Tokyo Ghoul anime project could potentially rectify these past missteps and capture the series’ beloved essence.
