"Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3 is subject to numerous rumors and speculations. There are many reports doing rounds that the anime would see an official release soon. There are many other interesting reports but the authenticity of these reports is definitely questionable. There is very less information on the next season of "Tokyo Ghoul" and hence we have pulled together a few facts what's highly improbable with "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3.
Rumors Surrounding "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3
There are reports that "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3 will have a link to "Tokyo Ghoul:re manga." This theory is highly questionable. Also, it was reported that the series will concentrate on female lead Touka Kirishima and her review period as she attempts to enter college instead of focusing on the main character, Ken Kaneki. Reports also generated stating that "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3 will be released in the last part of 2016 or early 2017, reported Release Date Portal.
The chance that the anime will be released soon is very slim. This is because of the anime's polarizing reviews, particularly the second season. "Tokyo Ghoul Root A," differed vastly from the script and the story line deviated from the source material. This was not taken well by the avid fans of the manga, and it translated to poor reception and weak DVD/Blu-ray sales. We all know that an anime's future in the industry depends on how lucrative the title is. "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 2 practically drove a nail straight into the franchise.
If the franchise is taking up the risk and further deviating from the original story, we do not know if we will see another season of "Tokyo Ghoul" ever. Also, when we look back, when a new season is to be released, there will be reports on it months before the actual release. The absence of any such announcements Studio Pierrot or FUNimation reveals that "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3 is not going to be released soon.
"Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3 - An Insight
Though there will be delay in the release date, we can't really say that "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3 will be shelved. Anime series always get second chances and we should not completely ignore the fan base that this series has amassed. "Tokyo Ghoul" has a steady fan base and this will ensure that "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3 is made and released.
At this point of time, we cannot really say if it will be a reboot or a sequel. FUNimation's own CEO and President Gen Fukunaga has expressed his interest in another season for "Tokyo Ghoul's" anime adaptation. He seemed to be excited about the future of the franchise.
Having seen the results, we can be sure that "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3 will be more faithful to the manga. The plot line of the new anime will coincide with the events going on in "Tokyo Ghoul:re manga." Since the manga has already covered a lot of material and has expanded on the manga's universe significantly, "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3 will have more than enough content to explore and adapt.
The creators of "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3 will most likely not change. So we can assume that "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3 will be produced by Studio Pierrot, the same firm that managed the first and second seasons. There is still hope for the fans that "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3 will be released though we do not know when it will happen. Until then, it is advisable to take in all rumors related to the series with a pinch of salt.
