Tokyo Ghoul’s anime adaptation has a tumultuous history, especially with its “Re” version leaving fans disappointed. Despite the initial success of the first two seasons, the transition to “Re” marked a decline in quality, sparking mixed reactions among viewers.
Sui Ishida, the manga’s creator, reignited discussions about anime adaptations with his new work, Choujin X, expressing interest in seeing it animated. However, this announcement stirred concern among Tokyo Ghoul fans, wary of a repeat of past disappointments.
The wounds from Tokyo Ghoul’s botched adaptation by Studio Pierrot still linger, with many fans lamenting the omission of crucial gory scenes from the manga. Ishida’s desire for a Choujin X anime sparked hopes for redemption, but fans remain vigilant in their plea for a faithful adaptation this time around.
Given Pierrot’s missteps, fans are vocal about their preference for a different studio to handle Choujin X. Studios like Mappa and Wit have garnered praise for their respectful treatment of manga source material, contrasting sharply with Pierrot’s approach.
As anticipation builds for a potential Choujin X anime, fans cling to the hope that their beloved manga will finally receive the adaptation it deserves.
