It's been almost a year now since the second season of "Tokyo Ghoul" ended and fans of the dark fantasy anime series are clamouring for a season 3. News came out via Movie Pilot that the CEO of FUNimation Entertainment, Gen Fukunaga, has confirmed that this year, fans will again see their favorite anime with a new season. Season 3 is expected to be released within 2016.

This has made the fans excited but, at the same time, disappointed, because season 3 is said to be a reboot of "Tokyo Ghoul" based on the ongoing manga version "Tokyo Ghoul: re." Fans are thinking that the showrunners might make the same mistake that happened with the second season of the series. Season 2 is still an action-packed season for the half-human and half-ghoul Ken Kaneki but suddenly, it strayed from its original source material storyline.

There are petitions set up by fans online that are still ongoing. The petition sites iPetitions and Change.org show the fans' demand in continuing the series, not by reboot. The fans are aiming for a continuation of Ken's story for season 3. They want a story that will stick to the original source material. This act of petitioning is not really an assurance for fans to get what they want for the show. However, there is a possibility that the show's creators will listen to the fans and change their minds about the reboot. If all goes well for fans, "Tokyo Ghoul" will have a third season that fans want to see.

The season 3 reboot will be focusing on Toka Kirishima's story. The 18-year-old ghoul is known as Ken's training partner in the series. There could be more than what the fans expected for this anime. Madhouse is known to be a great animation company and reports are saying that they will take over the anime series from Pierrot. This could probably make a difference in terms of animation quality when Madhouse takes on the production.

Not a lot of details have been revealed yet about the storyline of "Tokyo Ghoul" season 3, so fans should stay tuned for the latest news and updates.
