The official X account of the Tokyo Ghoul anime has fans buzzing with excitement and speculation after teasing a major announcement coming on July 3, 2024, at 6 PM JST, as a part of the series’ 10th anniversary.
The post featured a 20-second video showcasing a montage of scenes from the original anime series.
This has led to fans taking to social media to voice their hopes and theories about what the announcement could be.
Majority of the fans are hoping for a complete remake of the anime series, a version that will closely follow the storyline of the manga.
However, many are approaching the announcement with caution, as previous teasers and announcements from the franchise have sometimes led to less thrilling reveals, such as episodes being released on YouTube for free rather than new content.
Apart from these, speculations also ranged from a new Blu-ray collection, possibly featuring remastered episodes and new bonus content, or even something as simple as a digital re-release.
As a part of the 10th anniversary celebration, all the 48 episodes of Tokyo Ghoul anime and 2 OVAs were distributed for free on Studio Pierrot’s official YouTube channel from April 5, 2024.
