To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the anime adaptation of “Tokyo Ghoul,” an immersive exhibition event titled “Tokyo Ghoul EX” will open in Tokyo on October 21 and in Osaka on December 14. With great excitement, a newly released illustration drawn exclusively by the original manga author, Sui Ishida, will be given away to all attendees. Additionally, new details about the exhibition have been revealed.
“Tokyo Ghoul” is an anime television series based on the manga by Sui Ishida, serialized in “Weekly Young Jump” and has sold over 47 million copies worldwide. Set in a world where creatures called “ghoul” exist that eat humans, the story follows Ken Kaneki, a protagonist who becomes a half-ghoul in an accident and becomes involved in the battle between humans and ghouls.
The anime was adapted into a TV series from July to September 2014, followed by “Tokyo Ghoul √A” from January to March 2015, and “Tokyo Ghoul:Re” as a new series in 2018. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the anime series, a 10th anniversary project was launched in March 2024, and “Tokyo Ghoul EX” is part of this project.
“Tokyo Ghoul EX” is an immersive exhibition that allows visitors to experience the wonderful and tragic world of the hit television anime series “Tokyo Ghoul” through a variety of exhibits, interactive experiences, and immersive visuals.
The event announced several highlights, including an “Immersive Theater: Kaneki vs. Yamori” that uses haptic technology to recreate iconic scenes from the anime with stunning visuals and vibrations that stimulate the sense of touch. Additionally, visitors can explore the “Kaneki’s Mask Production Process” exhibit, which showcases the 3D data used to create the intricate masks seen in the series.
A newly released artwork by the original author, Ishida Sui, has been revealed exclusively for this event. As a special gift, all attendees at the Tokyo location will receive a colored mini sheet featuring “Ken Kaneki wearing the Anteiku uniform,” while those attending the Osaka location will receive one featuring “Ken Kaneki with white hair after the battle with Yamori.” Don’t miss out on these exclusive gifts, available only at each location.
Additionally, a wide variety of exclusive original merchandise will be available, featuring newly drawn illustrations by both Kazuhiro Miwa, the character designer for the anime “Tokyo Ghoul,” and Atsuko Nakajima, the character designer for “Tokyo Ghoul:Re.” This wide range promises to be a treat for fans.
Additionally, new details about the exhibit were revealed. The general layout of the exhibit area was revealed, and in addition to previously announced attractions such as the “Kaneki vs. Yamori” theater, there will be interactive exhibits, three-dimensional displays of ghoul masks, and installations that will guide visitors through the story of “Tokyo Ghoul” through dialogue and objects. It looks like the exhibit will offer a truly immersive experience, allowing fans to dive deep into the world of anime. The series’ beloved bar, “Anteiku,” will also make an appearance, giving fans the chance to explore a recreation of the bar’s interior.
