In a world where ghouls live among humans, they are the same as regular people in virtually every way -- other than their craving for human flesh. Shy Ken Kaneki learns that the hard way when he goes on a date with beautiful Rize, who is only interested in him to eat him. After a morally questionable rescue, Ken becomes the first half-human, half-ghoul hybrid, which draws him into the dark, violent world of ghouls that exists alongside the world of humans.

"Tokyo Ghoul" is an excellent title, that may not reach exactly the level the top titles of the category have, due to a few clichés here and there, but is definitely not far behind. Go to Full Review Tony Whatley II Black Critic Guy 02/07/2019
This may not be a "horror" anime, but that last episode... Wow. Talk about a visceral experience! Go to Full Review Callum Williams What Culture 02/07/2019
Finding its plot through a young boy's transition into a blood-hungry monster, this harrowing series is grotesque, unnerving and like nothing else you can really find in the medium. Go to Full Review Yasmin Kleinbart Screen Rant 02/07/2019
Gaining new powers isn't a new storyline, but Tokyo Ghoul manages to execute it efficiently. It makes sure to specify that there is no clear distinction between good and evil, and that it's more gray than anything. Go to Full Review Daniel Kurland Den of Geek 02/07/2019
Full of flashy violence, terrifying villains, ornate battles, and absurd special effects, but underneath all of that is the incredibly moving story of Kaneki trying to retain his humanity and not give into what has now become biological to him. Go to Full Review Koda Kazar Ani-TAY 02/07/2019
One of the most surprising things about Tokyo Ghoul is just how beautiful the kagune of the ghouls are... They look stunning in motion. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Tyler K. @gorphead59 Sep 2 I’m really loving the manga so watching it back to back has been fun. I think some of the changes in here were very unnecessary and I know season two is just gonna be a totally different story, which, even though I really like the manga I’m kind of excited to see what season two will look like. But yeah it’s a pretty faithful adaptation with a couple of small changes and the opening is great. Still I really enjoyed this season. 7.7/10 See more Ben F 11/24/2024 I hope this anime gets a remake and or a continuation See more 12/31/2022 I like it!but I feel much pain See more 05/30/2021 This is the greatest anime of all time. The english voice acting was great, the animation was flawless and the OST was spectacular. I highly recommend it. Rating: 96% See more 02/25/2021 Go read the manga you normies. Actually tho, the manga is better like everyone says, but that doesn't mean the show is bad. It's good. See more 01/01/2021 Good but a little predictable at times See more Read all reviews
