Overview of Recent Developments in Tokyo Ghoul
- Anime enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating news about Tokyo Ghoul following the unsatisfactory reception of its last season in 2018.
- The Tokyo Ghoul manga has achieved remarkable success with sales exceeding 50 million copies, reflecting Sui Ishida’s exceptional storytelling abilities.
- A special celebration for the 10th anniversary of the Tokyo Ghoul anime ignites hopes for a potential reboot.
Tokyo Ghoul aficionados have been largely in the dark regarding significant updates for some time. However, a recent announcement suggests an exciting development when a special stage event will take place on December 21, 2025, to commemorate the anime’s 10th anniversary.
While this news is exhilarating for dedicated fans, many are approaching it with a sense of caution. A similar event was held earlier this year but concluded with the unveiling of the Tokyo Ghoul EX art exhibition, leading fans to temper their expectations.
The Necessity for a Robust Return of Tokyo Ghoul’s Anime
The last anime adaptation of Tokyo Ghoul aired in 2018 and was met with lackluster reviews from the audience. Consequently, when rumors of a new announcement surfaced, fans were hopeful. Unfortunately, their enthusiasm was met with disappointment when the revelation turned out to be merely a promotional art event.

It is essential for the creators and stakeholders involved with Tokyo Ghoul to manage expectations this time and work diligently to meet the hopes of their committed audience. Many fans are yearning for real news about a potential anime remake, as past adaptations have not fully lived up to the excellence of the original material. Studio Pierrot has an opportunity to improve upon its previous shortcomings.
The Remarkable Acclaim of the Tokyo Ghoul Manga
- The manga consistently outshines the anime adaptations.
- Calls for an anime remake continue to grow stronger among fans.
The Tokyo Ghoul manga debuted in the Weekly Young Jump in September 2011 and ran until September 2014. Following this, Sui Ishida launched the sequel titled Tokyo Ghoul: re in October 2014, set two years after the original series and introducing a fresh cast of characters. This sequel concluded in October 2018.
Sui Ishida’s series has garnered multiple awards, showcasing both the author’s talent and the series’s narrative depth. The sales figures for both Tokyo Ghoul and Tokyo Ghoul: re have been impressive, with recent estimates suggesting that the total sales have surpassed 50 million copies.
Since the first anime adaptation premiered on July 4, 2014, and its continuation into the second season from January to March 2015, followed by Tokyo Ghoul: re airing its first episode on April 3, 2018, the franchise has seen a fluctuating trajectory in viewer reception.
For those interested, Tokyo Ghoul is available for streaming on Crunchyroll, providing access to all the episodes for fans who wish to revisit the series.
