A scan of the wraparound jacket band to be included with the tenth volume of the Tokyo Ghoul manga reveals that the series will be receiving an anime adaptation. No cast, staff, or airing date has been given.

Synopsis:
"In Japan, strange creatures that eat humans are around and they're called "Ghoul." A university student, Kaneki Ken, is riding a normal life and has fallen in love with a girl. But, after their first date it turns out that she's a Ghoul. Being seriously traumatized, he got saved as the Ghoul accidentally died.

What happens when the doctors implant some of her organs to him, in order for him to survive?"

The genres of the manga make me 100% interested. I'm always down for a good psychological horror. Will be keeping an eye out for this one.

Yay horror.
The synopsis looks interesting enough, will probably read the manga first.

The manga... isn't great. At least from the few volumes I've read. The art style and creepiness factor are well up there though, so it should be a fun watch if adapted right.

And by adapted right I mean the complete opposite of Pupa.

Haven't read the manga but the synopsis seems pretty good. I'll be reading the manga to see how it is.

Hopefully its good because the pictures look really really really creepy... :P

LOL too true. Another Pupa quality horror and I give up on the genre. Pupa is THAT bad in my opinion.

How hype are you


In case anyone doesn't know this is a promo for the manga not the anime. Regardless it does look pretty cool. Hopes are now raised a little more than they already are.

YES. Just read the latest-translated chapter yesterday and got thinking when should I expect this to get an anime. Hopefully not a messed up adaptation though.

Too bad most horror manga/anime are hardly anything special. Same applies to a lot of Western movies as well, though.
It's just really hard to make a good horror that doesn't look tired, uninspired or relies on too many cliches.

Have read 10 chapters, rated it 6, but I am pretty excited for an anime adaption. Psychological, mystery, horror, supernatural, and seinen, what's there not to love?

The manga is not that good, but an anime adaptation, if done well, could improve it substantially.
If it has solution, don't bother; and if it hasn't, why bothering?

Same here. There are just so few out there.

Hopefully it will turn out good. Haven't read the manga, so I have no idea what to expect.

It turns into a bit of a battle shonen latter on, though.

That's impossible, because the story is pretty complex.

the paltry amount that is translated doesn't even give justice to the manga. The author spends a considerable amount of time fleshing out the characters and setting. I'm pretty sure not a single person has read the source material, but presume to ALREADY have SET ideas about whether or not it's good.

I don't understand: if there are a lot of people excited for this news (myself included), and the horror genre in anime is so much loved....why the hell is this kind of anime so damn rare?

Eh, looks like it could be interesting. It also looks like it could be nothing but a juvenile gore fest.

I guess I'll wait to make a judgement on this.

Pupa isn't bad because it's short. It's bad because the story is fucking garbage.
