Tokyo Ghoul 10th Anniversary: The 5 Biggest Reveals, The Grand Finale Recap, And The Verdict On A New Anime Remake

As of today, December 21, 2025, the massive, year-long celebration for the *Tokyo Ghoul* anime’s 10th Anniversary Project has officially concluded, leaving a trail of unforgettable events, new merchandise, and, crucially, a final answer to the question that has haunted fans for years: will there be a full anime remake? The anniversary, which primarily commemorated the 2014 television anime debut produced by Studio Pierrot, spanned from late 2024 through the summer of 2025, culminating in a spectacular "Grand Finale" event. The project successfully reignited global discussion about Sui Ishida’s dark fantasy masterpiece, focusing on the harrowing journey of Ken Kaneki. While it delivered on a promise of extensive celebrations for the anime, the final announcements from the *Tokyo Ghoul FES. -PLAY BACK-* event in June 2025 are what truly matter to the dedicated fanbase, and we have the full, definitive recap of everything that was revealed.

The Definitive Timeline and Major Events of the 10th Anniversary

The *Tokyo Ghoul* 10th Anniversary Project was a multi-phase campaign designed to celebrate the anime series, which includes *Tokyo Ghoul*, *Tokyo Ghoul √A*, and *Tokyo Ghoul:re*. The celebration was less about new animated content and more about a nostalgic look back, culminating in a massive fan event.

• October – December 2024: The Immersive Exhibition. The project kicked off with the "Tokyo Ghoul EX" immersive exhibition held at Warehouse TERRADA G1 Building in Tokyo. This event allowed fans to step into the world of the CCG and Anteiku, featuring detailed recreations, original artwork, and exclusive anniversary merchandise.
• February 2025: Season 1 Compilation Movie. A new theatrical release, a compilation movie of the first season, was released, bringing back the most important moments in Kaneki's life to the big screen. This move successfully stirred up remake rumors by re-contextualizing the original story.
• June 8, 2025: The Grand Finale — *Tokyo Ghoul FES. -PLAY BACK-*. Held at the Tachikawa Stage Garden in Tokyo, this was the highly anticipated main event. It was billed as the *Tokyo Ghoul* anime’s 10th-anniversary celebrations finale.
• November 2025: New Digital Content. A brand-new Pachinko machine, "e Tokyo Ghoul," was launched, confirming the franchise's continued commercial viability in Japan.

5 Key Reveals from the Grand Finale Event

The *Tokyo Ghoul FES. -PLAY BACK-* event on June 8, 2025, was the centerpiece of the entire celebration. It featured a star-studded cast and musical performances, making it an emotional night for the fandom. Here are the five most significant takeaways from the finale.

1. The Return of the Main Voice Cast

The event saw a massive reunion of the core voice actors, which was a huge draw for attendees. The main cast, including Natsuki Hanae (Ken Kaneki), Sora Amamiya (Touka Kirishima), Rie Kugimiya (Suzuka Juuzou), and Daisuke Kishio (Hideyoshi Nagachika), participated in live readings and discussions, reflecting on their decade-long journey with the characters. This "playback" format focused heavily on the emotional beats of the series, particularly the relationship between Kaneki and Hide.

2. Live Performance of "unravel" and Other Iconic Theme Songs

No *Tokyo Ghoul* event is complete without its music. The finale featured live performances from the artists behind the series' most iconic theme songs. TK from Ling Tosite Sigure, who performed the legendary opening "unravel," was a major highlight. The emotional weight of hearing the song live, which is arguably one of the most recognizable anime themes of the last decade, was a perfect capstone to the event.

3. The Definitive Blu-ray Box Set Release

A comprehensive 10th Anniversary Blu-ray Box Set, collecting all seasons of the anime, was a major announcement and release. This premium collector's item included new artwork, bonus features, and served as the definitive home release for the entire anime adaptation. It was positioned as the essential physical memento of the anniversary.

4. New Collaborative Merchandise and Global Partnerships

The anniversary project expanded *Tokyo Ghoul*'s reach through various global merchandise partnerships. Tie-ins with fashion and lifestyle brands, including collaborations with Dim Mak and other event partnerships with companies like Planet Hollywood, were announced and rolled out throughout 2025. This focus on high-end, limited-edition apparel and collectibles ensured the franchise remained visible in the global pop culture space.

5. The Tease of Future 3D Animated Content

While not a full-blown new anime series, the anniversary did include the release of new 3D animated content in early 2025, hinting at the franchise's potential future in different animation formats. This, combined with the new Pachinko machine's launch, shows that Studio Pierrot and the production committee are exploring various avenues to keep the IP active, even if a traditional sequel or remake isn't currently planned.

The Burning Question: Will There Be a Tokyo Ghoul Anime Remake?

The single most persistent rumor and fervent hope surrounding the *Tokyo Ghoul* 10th Anniversary was the announcement of a full anime remake. The original anime adaptation, particularly the second and third seasons (*√A* and *Tokyo Ghoul:re*), is often criticized by fans for deviating significantly from Sui Ishida's original manga, leading to years of pleas for a faithful reboot.

The Final Verdict from the Finale

Despite the intense fan speculation, the official Grand Finale event on June 8, 2025, did not include an announcement for a new, full anime remake or a continuation of the animated series. The focus of the entire 10th Anniversary Project was clearly on celebrating the existing 2014 TV anime series. The events, the Blu-ray set, and the compilation movie all served to honor the original production. The lack of a new anime reveal at the grand finale, which was the final major announcement platform, is a strong indication that a full-scale remake is not currently in active development by Studio Pierrot or the production committee.

Why the Remake Rumors Persist

The hopes were fueled by several factors:

• The Manga's Popularity: The original manga by Sui Ishida remains a critical and commercial success globally, providing a rich, untapped source of material for a more faithful adaptation.
• Industry Trends: Anime remakes (like *Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood* and *Hunter x Hunter*) have become increasingly common, and *Tokyo Ghoul* is frequently cited as a franchise deserving of a faithful reboot.
• The Event's Teases: The mysterious countdowns, the compilation movie, and the "project" branding kept the fan base on edge, with many interpreting the hype as a build-up to a major animation announcement.

In the end, while the 10th Anniversary was a spectacular celebration of the anime's legacy, fans will have to continue to wait for a potential future announcement regarding a complete reboot of Ken Kaneki’s story. The focus has now shifted to the upcoming *Tokyo Ghoul FES. -PLAY BACK-* concert and the hope that any future creative projects will build upon the foundation laid by Ishida's iconic work.
