With the Halloween season already well underway, a lot of fans now want to know more about the new season of the anime adaptation of "Tokyo Ghoul." As fans can remember, it was announced last year that the anime will have its third season, but sadly, no exact date or even a window of time has been offered. Regardless, fans are still patiently waiting for the latest season of "Tokyo Ghoul."

According to Game N Guide, there are various reports regarding the release of the anime, and majority of them are saying that the anime will come out next year, sometime in early 2017.

Others say that the wait will not be long as it is possible that the latest season will be released before 2016 ends. Regardless of the release date for "Tokyo Ghoul," fans are still speculating what could happen next for the upcoming season.

Fans have speculated that the new season will delve even deeper to the life of Ken Kaneki, the main protagonist of the show since the first season. As such, most fans agree that his life will undergo even more drastic changes, and this will include his identity, loyalty, and even his own name.

The fans even went so far as to say that at the end of the series, he will be able to redeem himself as a person and as a ghoul.

The University Herald confirms this by reporting that the scriptwriters for "Tokyo Ghoul" claimed that the upcoming season will be the darkest, most psychologically disturbing one just yet. The scenes might even get censored for the sake of younger viewers. The reason behind the sudden change of tone is because Studio Madhouse will take over the third season of "Tokyo Ghoul."

Regardless, fans can only hope that the new season will be released before the year ends, or at least during early 2017.
