Viz Media, the Japanese-American entertainment company behind the hit anime series, "Tokyo Ghoul," has denied that Season 3 is currently in production. This was made after their official claimed that it would be released this year.
Various reports have stated that "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3 will be back on the small screens after its cancellation in 2014. Viz Media's senior director of sales and marketing, Kevin Hamric, revealed some interesting details about the anime series.
In an interview with ICv2, Hamric reportedly said that fans of "Tokyo Ghoul" will finally see their favorite anime series this year. According to him, the dark fantasy anime series featuring the characters of Ken Kaneki, Touka Kirishima, and Hinami Fuegechi will come back for Season 3.
Even if the series already ended years ago, fans of "Tokyo Ghoul", mostly consisting of teenagers and adult fans, are still sticking with the show, hoping that it would have its comeback. Some of their fans are still waiting for new updates and even making speculations about having "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3 despite the absence of an official statement from Viz Media.
Hamric also said that the comeback of "Tokyo Ghoul" will be as hyped as "One Punch Man," another acclaimed fan-favorite anime series. He added that these two anime series will be the biggest anime releases this year.
However, Viz Media quickly released a press statement saying that Hamric's claims are far from the truth. According to the company, Hamric may have been misquoted since "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3 is not currently in their slate of production.
If there would be a third season of "Tokyo Ghoul," rumors about the plot said that it would focus on the character of Ken Kaneki. He would assume a new persona after almost getting killed by Kishou Arima.
What do you think about this? Should there be another season of "Tokyo Ghoul"? Sound off in the comments below.
