This year, remakes are gaining momentum, giving the opportunity to revive great works like Tokyo Ghoul so that new generations can learn about and enjoy the fascinating story. This event is especially significant as it coincides with the 10th anniversary of Sui Ishida’s original work. Unfortunately for fans, however, a remake is not in the current plans.
All that is known is that in honor of the anniversary of the work, a new project has been announced – an art exhibition.

Tokyo Ghoul Has a Surprise, and It’s Not a Remake
The event’s name will be TOKYO GHOUL EX, but it will only be available in Tokyo from October 21 to December 1 and in Osaka from December 14 to 29. The location is still being finalized, and more information is expected to be released in those days.

The reveal of the official title of the Tokyo Ghoul art exhibition has given the anime’s 10th anniversary celebration an unexpected twist, as many fans were expecting a more shocking announcement, such as a remake.
However, the question remains: is this the only announcement we’ll get? There’s still hope for more surprises, especially considering the licensed footage related to Tokyo Ghoul that has been discovered in recent months.

The question of whether too little time has passed between the original anime and the announcement of the remake has caused controversy among fans. Some think that yes, it is too early for a new version, while others believe that enough time has passed and the series needs it.
To illustrate this point, we can take the case of Hunter x Hunter as an example, whose most famous anime premiered 10 years after the original broadcast ended in 1999. This shows that there is no universal rule regarding the amount of time that must pass for a remake.
In the case of Tokyo Ghoul, the decision to remake should not only be based on the date, but also on the actual need for the series. While some fans are satisfied with the original adaptation, others feel that aspects such as animation, consistency with the manga, or resolution of some subplots could be improved.
The fact is that many were waiting for a remake of this great work, but now all that remains is to wait for the details.
