"Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3 is one of the series that anime fans are looking forward to seeing this year. However, the year is ending already and the show is still nowhere to be found.
So, what could be causing the delay of "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3? Firstly, there were speculations that the show is getting a movie adaptation so the focus right now is on the film production.
Secondly, the original developer of "Tokyo Ghoul," Studio Pierrot, was rumored to have sold the anime to Madhouse Studio and the turnover seems to be slowing down the progress in the series' production. Thirdly, the latest rumor is that the team responsible for the popular Japanese anime is now busy with another manga series called "Hunter X Hunter."
Although "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3 has been confirmed to return to broadcast, fans are getting worried because the delay did not happen once but many times already. Many even wonder of the anime is really getting a third season or not.
Actually, fans should stop thinking that "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3 has been scrapped. Everyone knows how successful the anime is. In fact, the first two seasons left impressive records with its huge success.
With what "Tokyo Ghoul" has achieved, surely that show's producers will not let go of the chance to produce another hit sequel that earns a lot. It is highly likely that the problem with the hold up is related to internal issues.
There was news that "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3 is finally coming this winter season but this is unlikely. This is because teasers should have already been released by now if this is true. Then again, there is a chance for a mid or last quarter of 2017 air date.
Meanwhile, My AnimeList stated that the final volumes of the English manga version of the series are going to be released on Aug. 15, 2017. Perhaps, "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3 is also arriving around this time?
