The official website of the Tokyo Ghoul 10th Anniversary Project revealed the details of the celebration of the anime series' milestone anniversary on Wednesday, July 3, 10 days after dropping a provocative key visual and countdown about the affair.

While many were expecting an announcement of a reboot of the anime, the 10th anniversary celebrations will entail two large exhibitions to be held in Tokyo and then Osaka. The event, titled "Tokyo Ghoul Exposition", will begin its run in Tokyo on October 21.

About Tokyo Ghoul Exposition

The upcoming event will show off the world imagined by Sui Ishida through various interactive, three-dimensional exhibits. The first exhibition will be hosted in Tokyo from October 21 to December 1 at the Terada Warehouse G1 Building, while the Osaka leg of the anniversary celebrations will run from December 14 to December 29 at Gran Green Osaka. A key visual drawn by series character designer Kazuhiro Miwa was released alongside the news. The official website also showcases some of the unique merchandise that will be for sale at the event. Ticket sales open on Saturday, July 6, and there are various ticketing options available, such as one-day tickets, tickets that come with made-to-order merchandise like a set of Tokyo Ghoul character pins with original character illustrations and an acrylic diorama of the key visual. There will be presents given to expo visitors that feature original illustrations by Sui Ishida.

Expectations vs Reality

The Tokyo Ghoul 10th Anniversary project was originally announced back in March, and part of the initial celebrations included the release of all 48 episodes of the anime, including OVAs, for free on Studio Pierrot's YouTube channel. Milestone events, especially for popular franchises like this one, can often herald a reboot of the aforementioned titles. Some titles in recent history, even some that do not have the same level of popularity, have undergone the reboot treatment, and for many fans, Tokyo Ghoul is the prime example of an anime in dire need of a faithful adaptation of the source material; however, that will remain a pipe dream for now. In the meantime, the anime is still being streamed on the official Pierrot YouTube every Friday at 18:30 JST, with the episodes remaining available for up to two weeks after the upload, and tickets to the upcoming exhibition can be purchased on the official website.
