The brand “Tokyo Ghoul” has announced a major project to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the anime’s release, which will be an exhibition featuring a live experience. This project is set to take place in Japan in October this year. The announcement has left fans completely in awe, especially since they are eagerly waiting for news about a remake of the original anime series. The anticipation is high, particularly because the production company has been building up excitement for many days, creating significant expectations.
The anime “Tokyo Ghoul” is based on the manga by Sui Ishida and is one of the most well-known anime series in the past decade. The story follows Ken Kaneki, a young man who turns into a half-ghoul after an accident. His struggle to maintain his humanity in a world filled with ghouls has captured the hearts of millions of fans.
However, the anime adaptation has been a subject of controversy and disappointment. The first season, despite receiving mixed reviews, generally garnered positive feedback. But in the second season, “Tokyo Ghoul √A,” the narrative diverged significantly from the original manga, leading to decisions that left many fans feeling unsatisfied.
In an effort to rectify the situation, the third season, “Tokyo Ghoul: Re,” attempted to address the issues from the second season but ultimately created even more unsatisfactory plot developments.
Many fans are now calling for a remake of the anime to align more closely with the original manga. The lack of announcements regarding this remake during the 10th anniversary celebration has left a strong impact on many, who are hoping to see Kaneki’s story portrayed more faithfully in an animated format.
Why has a remake not yet been produced despite the strong demand from fans? There are several theoretical reasons for this:
- Pierrot Studios: The studio responsible for the anime adaptation may have faced challenges in handling the source material. They might not prioritize investing in a remake due to the time and resources required (as well as not owning the rights to the original material).
- Shueisha Publishing: As the publisher of the manga, Shueisha may play a role in deciding the direction of any new adaptations. Their focus could be on other projects that might yield better returns.
- Production Companies: Decisions regarding remakes are often related to the interests of production companies in funding and distributing the anime. They may lack the financial support or interest to produce a faithful adaptation of an already adapted series.
Regardless of the circumstances, the Tokyo Ghoul brand remains popular and beloved. The handling of its anime adaptation still holds many disappointed expectations. Fans continue to hope that one day, a legitimate adaptation will faithfully depict Kaneki’s journey and the essence of the original manga.
