Fans of Sui Ishida's "Tokyo Ghoul" experienced mild panic attacks when news surfaced that they might be waiting forever for a third season of the show to appear.
There were reports that the release date of "Tokyo Ghoul" season three will be revealed after the release of the OVA "Tokyo Ghoul: Jack." However, the silence that's been emanating from Pierrot, the studio developing the anime, has given rise to rumors that the series has been cancelled.
"Tokyo Ghoul's" second season ended with Arima and Kaneki finally facing off and fans have been anticipating their fight to happen in the third season, with "Tokyo Ghoul: Re" as the main storyline. Keen eyes have noticed that when Tokua flipped the coffee shop's signboard, the word "Re" was on it.
Now some hard-core fans are saying that with the way the last season deviated so far away from the manga, the series will be encountering a lot of problems in season three. As one fan explained, the decision to "skip out on entire story arcs and derail the development of several characters" would make an adaptation of "Tokyo Ghoul: Re" challenging, unless the studio opts for an anime-original piece. This might be one of the reasons why the cancellation rumors started.
The "Tokyo Ghoul" OVA "Tokyo Ghoul: Jack" follows the adventures of Kishou Arima and Taishi Fura, two characters from the original series, who met when one of Taishi's friends was killed by a ghoul and they set out to investigate it. Like Kishou, Taishi eventually joins the Commission of Counter Ghoul, the federal agency tasked to investigate crimes that might have involved ghouls.
The trailer for "Tokyo Ghoul: Jack" has already been released and it introduced several key characters. The movie has been released in select theaters in Japan on Sept. 5 and will be followed by a wider release on Sept. 30.
But for fans who really need their "Tokyo Ghoul" fix, a PS Vita game based on the well-loved manga and anime will be released in Japan on Oct. 1.
