To celebrate the anime's tenth anniversary, the production revealed that the work will have an exhibition with an immersive experience in October 2024 in Japan. However, this announcement left many fans unhappy, as they were expecting a remake of the anime adaptation.
Tokyo Ghoul, based on the manga by Sui Ishida, is one of the most popular franchises of the last decade. The manga tells the story of Ken Kaneki, a young man who becomes half-ghoul after an accident. His struggle to maintain his humanity while navigating the violent world of ghouls has captivated millions of readers.
The anime adaptation, however, has been the subject of controversy and disappointment. The first season, although receiving mixed reviews, was generally well-received. However, the second season, "Tokyo Ghoul √A," significantly altered the manga's story, deviating from the original plot and making narrative decisions that displeased fans. To make matters worse, the third season, "Tokyo Ghoul: Re," attempted to correct the mistakes of the second season but ended up creating even more narrative confusion.
Fans of the series have been clamoring for a remake faithful to the original manga. The lack of a remake announcement on the tenth anniversary was a blow to many who hoped to see Kaneki's story properly told in animated form.
Check out the theories about Tokyo Ghoul:
- Studio Pierrot : The studio responsible for the anime adaptation has received criticism for its handling of the series. It's possible the studio isn't interested in investing in a remake due to the time and resources required (or selling the rights to another studio).
- Shueisha Publisher : As the owner of the manga rights, Shueisha may have a role in decisions about new adaptations. The publisher's priorities may be focused on other, more lucrative projects.
- Production companies : Decisions about remakes also involve the production houses that finance and distribute the anime. There may be a lack of interest or financial support for remaking a series that has already been adapted.
The fan community continues to hope that one day Kaneki's rich and complex story will receive an adaptation that honors its original source.
- “Was that the big announcement they had prepared?”
- “Oh no, one of the biggest disappointments of 2024 so far.”
- “I'm feeling nothing but misery, pain, and anger right now.”
- “Good thing I had low expectations about all this.”
- “How do you still expect a remake of this?”
- "Why make such hyped ads for this? What's wrong with the Japanese?"
- “I had no expectations, and I'm still disappointed.”
- “I think I would feel less insulted if it was about a pachinko machine.”
- "As expected, no company will invest in re-adapting a manga aimed at adults. After the success of Kimetsu no Yaiba and Jujutsu Kaisen, which are shonen, no one should be holding out hope at this point."
