The third season of "Tokyo Ghoul" is still pretty hyped up despite the fact that its official premiere date is still unconfirmed. Despite this, a lot of rumors are saying that the anime will be released before 2016 ends, so fans are still aflame with excitement to see the third installment in the highly popular anime adaptation. The "Tokyo Ghoul" manga is the 10th most purchased throughout the globe.

According to Game N Guide, a lot of anime fans on Reddit are expressing their desire for the third season's immediate release, making it one of the most highly-requested anime among viewers. As such, people are rejoicing over the fact that the anime's producer notes that "Tokyo Ghoul" is already in the process of development, but the release date is still unclear.

With 2016 down to its last quarter, some rumors are saying that it is possible for the anime to instead be released on 2017. This is compounded by the fact that the production staff and crew are still hard-pressed in animating the show.

Regardless, with Studio Madhouse handling the third season's production, it is expected that the latest season of the "Tokyo Ghoul" anime will have a higher quality. After all, this studio made the anime adaptations of famous manga such as "Death Note" and "One Punch Man," which are both well-liked both inside and outside Japan.

As for its plot, Ecumenical News details that the new season of "Tokyo Ghoul" will feature Kaneki Ken declaring himself as the new One-Eyed King after battling Arima. The latter gives explicit instructions to Kaneki, saying that the former should claim responsibility for slaying him so he can become the leader of the ghouls before committing suicide.

However, this plot is still unconfirmed, and as such, fans should just wait for further announcements. This applies to both the third season's plot and its release date, regardless of whether it will be this year or the next.
