"Tokyo Ghoul" season 3 is rumored to come out sometime in 2017. According to new reports, it is unlikely for the anime series to release this year.

Fans may not be able to catch a brand-new season of "Tokyo Ghoul" this year. Rumor has it that the delay of the release is due to the lack of source material from the manga. If the producers of the anime decide to push through with the series and release it this year, then they will have to create their own storyline.

According to reports, the third season of "Tokyo Ghoul" will move its spotlight to Touka Kirishima and his journey to college. In the manga, Touka has a major role in the storyline, and his character is also well-developed in the anime. He is introduced as Ken's training partner. However, some fans of the manga and the anime series don't seem to approve the idea of Touka getting more attention than Ken, whose story needs more development and completion.

According to the reliable sources from Anime Maru, the upcoming season will be the anime's boldest one yet. "This is perhaps the most disillusioning, psychological and darkest plot line that we will attempt to adapt," the source said. "We hope to remain as faithful as possible to the source material, although we cannot guarantee that more gory scenes such as Touka's standardized exam test-taking will not be censored."

There are also reports saying that production of the much-awaited season of the anime has not started yet. Apparently, there is a good reason, although not disclosed, for the delay. Madhouse will take over the production of the next season of "Tokyo Ghoul." Fans are also expecting that the upcoming season will stay true to the original manga, just like the first and second season.

More information about "Tokyo Ghoul" season 3 will also be revealed soon.
