Overview

Tokyo Ghoul √A (東京喰種[トーキョーグール]√A) is a highly acclaimed TV. Produced by the renowned Studio Pierrot, this adaptation perfectly blends the Action, Drama, Horror, Mystery, Psychological, Supernatural genres.

Both the Tokyo Ghoul manga and Tokyo Ghoul √A anime concluded with the same last arc, but how the anime arrived at that ending diverged greatly from the source material. Besides changing the ending fight scene and the main major plot of the manga, which was the focus of many chapters in the manga, Tokyo Ghoul √A also features a watered-down and greatly changed version of the source manga's final arc. Episode 1 was previewed at a screening at TOHO Cinemas, Nihonbashi on January 4, 2015. Regular broadcasting began on January 9, 2015.

With a deeply passionate fanbase, it has secured a global AniList score of 67% and attracted over 6,492 favorites worldwide. It currently holds a massive popularity ranking of #383687 globally, making it a must-read/watch for enthusiasts of the medium.
