As the name suggests, <\/span>Tokyo Ghoul<\/span> is one of Japan\u2019s darker, more unsettling anime<\/a> shows.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Based on Sui Ishida\u2019s 2011 manga (now one of the best-selling of all time), the story follows a student named Ken Kaneki who\u2019s attacked by a flesh-eating ghoul and ends up becoming one himself \u2013 or at least a half-ghoul, thanks to some surgery that helps him retain his humanity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Still, the hunger for flesh remains and his new ghoul friends aren\u2019t making things any easier for him, either\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Pierrot\u2019s anime adaptation began airing in July 2014 and since then, there have been a few prequels and live action spin-offs added to help flesh the story out further on screen. <\/span><\/p>

But don\u2019t worry. If you\u2019re confused, we\u2019re on hand to help you figure out how to devour <\/span>Tokyo Ghoul<\/span>\u00a0the best way possible, in all its gruesome glory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tokyo Ghoul.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/div>\n

After you\u2019ve watched the first two seasons in full, the <\/span>Jack<\/span> and <\/span>Pinto<\/span> OVAs help flesh out what you\u2019ve seen so far with a lot of interesting background information. After that, the two \u201cre\u201d seasons, which are essentially seasons 3 and 4, help complete the story.<\/span><\/p>\n

  • Tokyo Ghoul (season 1)<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Tokyo Ghoul: \u221aA (season 2)<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Tokyo Ghoul: Jack & Pinto OVAs<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Tokyo Ghoul: re (season 3)<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Tokyo Ghoul: re second season (season 4)<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Tokyo Ghoul (live action movie)<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Tokyo Ghoul S (live action movie)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>

    The live action movies, released in 2017 and 2019 respectively, aren\u2019t vital when it comes to understanding <\/span>Tokyo Ghoul\u2019s<\/span> wider story. In fact, they\u2019re a bit cheesy in places, but we\u2019d still recommend giving them both a watch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The first film includes information from the manga that\u2019s not included in the main anime series, and <\/span>Tokyo Ghoul S <\/span>takes things in a brand new direction that might intrigue long-time fans of the source material.<\/span><\/p>\n
