'Tokyo Ghoul' Season 3 News & Update: Studio Pierrot Anime To Be Overhauled? S3 Manga Adaptation Of Ken, Rize Will See A Remake?

"Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3 will not be new episodes but a rework of the anime produced by Studio Pierrot. "Tokyo Ghoul" fans could see friend Ken Kaneki and Rize Kamishiro relive S1 and S2 in a remake of the adaptation of the manga series by Sui Ishida.

"Tokyo Ghoul" saw enthusiastic reception from longtime Sui Ishida fans when Studio Pierrot first aired on Tokyo MX in 2014. However, disappointment from "Tokyo Ghoul" fans, who hoped to see Ken Kaneki and Rize Kamishiro in the same Sui Ishida treatment, soon became apparent as reported on Parent Herald.

Nonetheless, Studio Pierrot successfully aired all 12 episodes of "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 1 in the series debut. Because Sui Ishida built a strong plot in the "Tokyo Ghoul" manga series, the Studio Pierrot managed to maintain popularity despite fan protest.

So much so that after a quick break Studio Pierrot aired "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 2 premiere aired on January 2015. The Studio Pierrot production of "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 1 and 2, will now also be distributed in New Zealand and Australia.

Clamor by loyal "Tokyo Ghoul" fans, however, will not be dismissed. As posted on Reddit, fan protest against the Studio Pierrot production of "Tokyo Ghoul" centered on Ken Kaneki and Rize Kamishiro departing from the original framework by Sui Ishida.

Although "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3 by Studio Pierrot would still be welcomed by a considerable number of viewers, overhaul of the anime series would have more potential for establishing a solid fanbase. So yes, if fans had their way "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3 would be a reboot of the Studio Pierrot anime with Ken Kaneki and Rize Kamishiro returning to the Sui Ishida fold.

Following S1 and S2 patterns, Studio Pierrot should have aired "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3 by early 2016. However, "Tokyo Ghoul" manga fans may have gotten through to Studio Pierrot.

Are you looking forward to "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3 by Studio Pierrot? Or are you among those lobbying for Studio Pierrot to develop "Tokyo Ghoul" more faithfully to the Sui Ishida canon?
