'Tokyo Ghoul' season 3 release date news: third installment's storyline surfaces amid cancellation rumors
The anime adaptation of Sui Ishida's "Tokyo Ghoul" has already been subjected to numerous speculations since it was birthed in the universe back in 2014. Ranging from its glowing reception all the way to its successful transitioning from manga to anime, the franchise has managed to generate its own loyal stronghold of followers and viewers — which in the industry nowadays is a difficult feat in itself.
And so, the growing number of fans of the Japanese series has grown exasperated with the latest conflicting speculations about the anime's purported cancellation mainly due to the offering's massively hit following. For them, it just doesn't make sense that the adaptation is heading to an abrupt conclusion.
Furthermore, their frustration has gotten so big recently due to the recent rumors that the show's third season was reported to be premiering before the year ends, contrary to the now circulating information. Subsequently, the news that followed has indicated that the third installment's airing date has been moved inconclusively to another date.
Meanwhile, the furor over this debatable cancellation has come to its apparent end when a new air date of "Tokyo Ghoul's" third season has gone surfacing in the rumor mills. As per Saiko Plus, the new air date has been assigned on March 2017. Accordingly, the reason for the delay has been the lack of materials for the show's production.
On the other hand, another cause for the delay has been pointing to the show's change of management. The show which was originally managed by Studio Pierrot is now being spearheaded by Madhouse.
Perhaps one of the more pertinent speculations that now hint at the show's imminent return is the upcoming third season's storyline which has now been leaked, much to the fans' delight. The surfacing information is signaling that the third season will be focusing on Kaneki Ken, Furuta and Kirishima Touka. Moreover, the forthcoming entry will dwell on the hardships that Touka will have to endure as a college student. A tension between the relationship of Touka and Kaneki and the reason behind it will also be explored.
