Tokyo Ghoul revives Unravel for its 10th anniversary: and fans are spiraling

Tokyo Ghoul is an anime series that is known to introduce the iconic character, Kaneki Ken. It has been over 10 years since the show first made its debut, and fans cannot get enough of it. One of the most unforgettable parts of the show was its opening theme, “Unravel.” This song became so popular that many viewers started watching the anime after hearing it.

When the anime was at its prime popularity, this show was described as legendary. The story of Kaneki Ken, a human who became a half-ghoul and had to fight against the world which was forcing him to lose his humanity.

That is why, when the music video of Unravel was released, fans did not waste time watching it because not only is the song beautiful, but the opening with the visuals is more than enough to convey what the protagonist was going through in the story.

Unfortunately, after Season 2 was released, many viewers did not seem to like the anime a lot because of how it shifted the whole build-up from the first installment and changed the whole vibe of the show. When there were rumors that Tokyo Ghoul was going to make a comeback, fans were excited to finally receive new content.

When it was confirmed that the creators had planned to only release the opening theme, many fans were happy about the fact that Tokyo Ghoul would be making a comeback in the anime community. Meanwhile, some fans show dissatisfaction as they were hoping to receive a brand new season.

Reanimating Unravel is a bold choice from the creators as it carries emotional weight. The song itself managed to capture Kaneki’s sense of self. This new music video is to remind fans of the series’ emotional peaks that this show once offered.

The creators have also announced a new movie, Tokyo Ghoul: Sink Your Teeth

Fans have an option to watch their favorite series on the big screen. With the help of Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment, they plan to release a movie in selected theaters, a compilation of season 1 of Tokyo Ghoul.

It is set to be released on July 21, 2025, and will cover key episodes from season 1 of the anime. The expected runtime is 147 minutes and aims to cover episodes 1, 5, 8, 10, 11, and 12 from Season 1.

This special cut captures the emotional and psychological core of Ken Kaneki’s descent into ghoulhood. From his fateful encounter with Rize to his transformation and ultimate acceptance of his monstrous identity, the film offers a streamlined but powerful version of his initial arc.

Moreover, the movie will be available to watch in Japanese with English subtitles and also in English dub. The creators have ensured that this movie will be accessible to all types of anime fans.

Whether you're watching it for the first time or revisiting a personal favorite, Sink Your Teeth: A Tokyo Ghoul Celebration could very well be the start of something new. With Ishida more involved than ever and fan interest surging, the hype feels like it's building toward a bigger revival.

Final thoughts

Trending

Now that it’s been ten years, I think bringing Tokyo Ghoul back is not just nostalgic, it’s necessary. So much of the anime community has grown since it was initially released, and many newer fans never got to experience Tokyo Ghoul in its prime.

If the movie gets released in theaters near me, I’m going. It’s a little sad how the franchise’s popularity declined over the years, but maybe this anniversary is the turning point.
