Tokyo Ghoul, created by Sui Ishida in 2011, stands as a visually stunning series published under Shueisha. Despite its excellence, the Tokyo Ghoul anime failed to live up to expectations, leaving fans yearning for a remake.
Recently, rumors of a potential redo have surfaced, stemming from updates to a new website domain related to Tokyo Ghoul’s 10th anniversary.
In Japan, speculation surrounding the remake began when netizens, including Manga Mogura, noticed changes to the Tokyo Ghoul web domain.
Although the specific domain name has yet to be revealed, it seems linked to the 10th anniversary of Tokyo Ghoul’s conclusion in September 2021.
This milestone holds significant importance for fans, especially as the anime series approaches its own 10th anniversary, with the first season debuting in September 2014.
"Tokyo Ghoul" Anime 10th Anniversary Project might be upcoming judging from a recent web domain registration.
Please note that nothing is confirmed and I'm not sure what such a project/event would actually entail. If you see/hear anything interesting, let me know please, thank… pic.twitter.com/hw6fy1ZlLq

The initial season of Tokyo Ghoul garnered praise from fans but faced criticism with its sequel, Tokyo Ghoul √A. Despite efforts to rectify the storyline with Tokyo Ghoul: re in 2018, the damage to the anime’s reputation had been done.
Recognizing the disparity between the stunning artwork of the manga and the subpar adaptation, fans have long clamored for an anime remake.
With numerous anniversary milestones approaching, excitement among Tokyo Ghoul enthusiasts is palpable as they anticipate the possibility of a remake. The prospect of revisiting the series with a faithful adaptation reignites hopes for a more satisfying portrayal of Ishida’s masterpiece.
