'Tokyo Ghoul' season 3 release date could in 2017: what to expect

(Tokyo Ghoul / Facebook)Tokyo Ghoul season 3 will probably be released in 2017.

"Tokyo Ghoul" fans may wait a bit longer since it has been reported that season 3 will be released in 2017.

While some may consider the delay as a disappointment, others see this as a good sign. Fans who have been following both the manga and the anime noted that season 1 was great because it incorporated the events in the manga to the anime, but season 2 was a disappointment since the anime deviated a lot from its source material. Thus, "Tokyo Ghoul" releasing in 2017 is seen as a good opportunity for season 3 to have more time to improve.

At this point, the fanbase of the anime is divided with some clamoring for a reboot, while others wanting season 3 to be based again on its source material — the manga. This may be a tough decision for the teams behind the anime and manga because it may boil down to who adjusts to who. If the anime adjusts to the manga, then there will be a lot of filler episodes to explain certain events that happened in season 2, while if it was the other way around, then the manga will be forced to follow the events that transpired in season 2 and create a new storyline that may be used in season 3.

The rumored storyline in season 3 will revolve around Touka Kirishima, who also plays an important role in the manga and has been established in the anime.

In related news, there have been rumors that "Tokyo Ghoul" will have a mobile game. It is speculated that the gameplay will adopt similar features seen in the anime. This may be the compromise that the fans may need moving forward while awaiting for the upcoming season 3.

More "Tokyo Ghoul" news and updates, as well as the rumored mobile game, coming soon.
