To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the anime, 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 expected 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 it received 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 did not please fans. To make matters worse, the third season, “Tokyo Ghoul: Re”, tried 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 had hoped to see Kaneki's story told properly in animated format.
Check out the theories about Tokyo Ghoul:
- Pierrot Studio : The studio responsible for adapting the anime has faced criticism for its management of the series. It's possible that the studio isn't interested in investing in a remake due to the time and resources required (or selling the rights to another studio).
- Publisher Shueisha : As the owner of the rights to the manga, Shueisha may have a role in decisions about new adaptations. It may be that the publisher's priorities are focused on other, more profitable 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 this the big announcement they had prepared?”
- “Oh no, one of the biggest disappointments of 2024 so far.”
- “I’m just feeling misery, pain and anger right now.”
- “Good thing I had low expectations about all of this.”
- “How are you still waiting for a remake of this?”
- “Why make such hyped announcements for this? What is the problem with the Japanese?”
- “I had no expectations, and yet I'm disappointed.”
- “I think I would feel less insulted if it was about a pachinko machine.”
- “As expected, no company will invest in readapting a manga aimed at adults. After the success of Kimetsu no Yaiba and Jujutsu Kaisen, which are shonen, no one should get their hopes up at this point.”
