Recently, an impressive visual that announced a supposed remake of the anime “Tokyo Ghoul”, scheduled to premiere this year 2025became a trend on social networks. Thousands of users shared the image with enthusiasm, believing that it was official news. However, the truth behind the visual was soon revealed: the artist himself left his signature in a corner of the illustration, confirming that it was fanart and not a legitimate advertisement.
The visual, which shows Kaneki Ken in a dramatic pose, accompanied by a graphic design that includes the text “Remake” and mentions of interviews with the cast, managed to fool even long-time fans. The quality of the illustration and the professional presentation of the image were enough to make many think that Studio Pierrot or even the original author, Sui Ishida, were involved in the project.
The virality of this visual reflects a feeling shared by a large part of the community: the desire for a faithful remake of the “Tokyo Ghoul” manga. Although the anime aired between 2014 and 2018 managed to attract a considerable audience, criticism of the adaptation was numerous, especially for the significant changes to the narrative and the omission of key elements from the manga.
Over the years, fans have asked for a remake that does justice to Sui Ishida's original work, similar to the success of adaptations like “Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood,” which remade a series with greater fidelity to the source material. The expectation is still alive, especially now that other popular franchises have begun to receive remakes or new adaptations.
The author of the visual, identified by his signature in the corner of the image, is an artist known for his high-quality fanarts. Although some users expressed their disappointment upon discovering that this was not an official announcement, many also praised the artwork and the way it managed to capture the essence of “Tokyo Ghoul.”
For now, there is no official indication that a remake of the anime is in production. Sui Ishida's manga remains a benchmark in the industry, and its popularity has endured even years after its conclusion. Meanwhile, fans continue to speculate and wait for an announcement that meets their expectations.
