Fans are still hoping to see a remake of the series.
Summary:
- The Tokyo Ghoul 10th anniversary special project has been announced.
- An official website for the project has been launched.
- Fans expect the project to be a remake of the series.
The Tokyo Ghoul anime is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, and there have been rumors about a special project meant to commemorate the event.
As it turns out, the rumors were true, and the Tokyo Ghoul fanbase can finally wake up from their slumber: they’ve been given something to look forward to.
Official website launched
A website with some official information and the first teaser visual for the project has been launched. It announces a special YouTube broadcast of the series that will start on April 5, 2024. All the anime episodes will be on Studio Pierrot’s YouTube channel, and they will be released every Friday.
Each episode will be available for free for a limited period of time: two weeks after its release. And there will be no new episodes on public holidays.
The new visual is rather minimalistic: it features Kaneki’s iconic mask and comes in two forms: the one with the fully white mask and the one where you can see scenes from the anime within it.
The official website also mentions the distribution of Tokyo Ghoul stickers at AnimeJapan 2024 that will take place this weekend, on March 23-24, 2024 in Tokyo. Does it mean we might get more details about the project at the event?
Fans want a remake
There hasn’t been any further information about the upcoming project. A number of fans think that we shouldn’t expect anything big, and the YouTube broadcast is all we’re getting. However, it doesn’t feel like a 10th-anniversary-worthy event, so there has to be something else coming. The only question is “what?”
The most common expectation remains the same: fans really want to see a Tokyo Ghoul anime remake. This is, without a doubt, one of the greatest seinen manga series out there, and it’s practically a crime that it doesn’t have a satisfying anime adaptation.
The anime by Pierrot received all types of criticism in the past for its deviation from the manga and overall poor quality of the adaptation, so a remake just feels right.
The One Piece and Spice and Wolf remakes make Tokyo Ghoul fans really jealous, and they want their favorite series to be treated the same way. It’s too early to get your hopes up, though, since nothing has been officially confirmed. But something interesting is coming, indeed.
