  Tokyo Ghoul √A Premieres

  Mitaka, Tokyo, JapanStudio Pierrot

  

  Starts 01/09/2015CONFIRMED87% CONFIDENCE69%12 episodes so far11.7 years agoBroadcast start date confirmed on the title's own MyAnimeList^[1] listing.

  Tokyo Ghoul √A is Studio Pierrot’s 12-episode second season, directed by Shūhei Morita, picking up with Ken Kaneki after he defeats Yamori and joins the ghoul faction Aogiri Tree as CCG investigators close in. Rather than adapting the manga's second half directly, the season blends its events with new material credited to original creator Sui Ishida — a divergence that drew significant criticism from manga readers for skipping and altering major plot points, and is often cited as part of why the franchise later got the more source-faithful Tokyo Ghoul:re anime.
