After all, "Tokyo Ghoul" made its major announcement, and fans feel deceived.

Ishida Sui's Tokyo Ghoul has shown itself to be much more than just a gritty, gloomy tale about a damaged and withdrawn hero. The first manga, which follows Ken Kaneki through many phases of his life, is an eerily brilliant character study that somehow strikes a balance between its harsher themes and the underlying notion that things get better.

While many series fans see the manga as a narrative masterwork and a must-read, subsequent Sui Ishida translations have received significantly less positive reviews, and fans seem to always be let down when Tokyo Ghoul attempts to expand its franchise prospects.

Tokyo Ghoul Fans Believe the Most Recent Announcement for the Series Was Overhyped

The official X account for Tokyo Ghoul started sharing a mysterious countdown to a "big announcement" in honor of the series' tenth anniversary. Naturally, thoughts quickly converged on one thought: Tokyo Ghoul would at last get the Brotherhood treatment. Unfortunately for many, Tokyo Ghoul will be commemorating the big "10" with an art display instead of a new anime.While it is understandable that fans, particularly those in the West, are devastated to have their dreams of a legitimate anime adaption of such a cherished series crushed, it's possible that too many of us placed too much hope in something that wasn't even hinted at being real. Furthermore, a new anime based on Sui Ishida's most recent series, Choujin X, would be even more intriguing.
