The Legacy of Tokyo Ghoul
Tokyo Ghoul, based on the manga series by Sui Ishida, follows the dark and compelling story of Ken Kaneki, a quiet college student whose life irrevocably changes after a fateful encounter transforms him into a human-ghoul hybrid.

This special theatrical event coincides with the anime’s 10th anniversary, further celebrating its enduring impact on the anime community. All three seasons of Tokyo Ghoul, including Tokyo Ghoul √A and Tokyo Ghoul:re, along with OVAs, are available to stream on Crunchyroll.
