Those who are anxiously awaiting the arrival of "Tokyo Ghoul" season 3 may be up for a major disappointment if the latest rumors claiming that the highly anticipated anime series is not just delayed but has been canceled turn out to be true.

Despite "Tokyo Ghoul" season 2 disappointing its fans with its story that deviated from the events in its manga origin, avid fans of the series are still looking forward to the arrival of its season 3. While there were numerous rumors claiming that the anime will arrive this March, the latest reports suggest that there may be no "Tokyo Ghoul" season 3 at all as, allegedly, the anime series has already been canceled.

It is said that one of the probable reasons for the alleged cancellation of the series is due to lack of materials to be used for the production of the anime. As the heavy backlash on "Tokyo Ghoul" season 2 was due to its story deviating from the events in the manga, rumors claim that Pierrot Studio wants the upcoming season to be faithful to its manga counterpart.

However, the problem is that, because of the pacing of the anime, it has already caught up with the story of the manga, and the anime does not have enough source materials that it can run on. Because of this, rumors claim that the studio just decided to cancel the third season of the anime.

On the other hand, hope may not be lost at all for the fans of the anime. After all, it was reported last year that "Tokyo Ghoul" season 3 will arrive after the live-action movie of the manga series has been released in the theaters. After all, it is also suspected that it is one of the causes of delays of the anime's upcoming season.

As the "Tokyo Ghoul" live-action movie is slated to hit Japan theaters this summer, it is still possible for "Tokyo Ghoul" season 3 to happen and may not have been canceled at all.
