While waiting for the official confirmation about the status of the production of "Tokyo Ghoul" season 3 from FUNimation, some fans say they would rather see a completely revamped version of the anime adaptation of Sui Ishida's dark fantasy manga series.

Complaints about how FUNimation deviated from the original manga have been rampant online. Many fans believe that the creative changes that were included in the TV adaptation of "Tokyo Ghoul" have affected its entire plot.

Based on the rants posted on a "Tokyo Ghoul"-dedicated forum, the changes in the plot shown in the anime are already irredeemable, which made it harder for the writers of FUNimation to put it back to the original storyline from the manga.

"I don't want a season 3. I want someone to start animating 'Tokyo Ghoul' from scratch, with all the gore and scenes from the manga, after that happened to all 143 chapters we can talk about an anime for regarding in my opinion," one of the fans posted on the forum.

While there are no available updates regarding the development of "Tokyo Ghoul" season 3, Movie Pilot previously reported that FUNimation Entertainment President and CEO Gen Fukunaga confirmed that the anime's third season will come out in 2016, together with the release of a "Tokyo Ghoul" video game.

"Ever since we began simulcasting the anime series last year, fans of 'Tokyo Ghoul' have been clamoring for a mobile game. With Season 2 now finished and Season 3 set for 2016, the anticipation for the game has only grown higher," Fukunaga said.
