description Tokyo Ghoul Overview
A sinister threat is invading Tokyo: flesh-eating "ghouls" who appear identical to humans and blend into their population. Reserved college student Ken Kaneki buries his nose in books and avoids the news of the growing crisis. However, the appearance of an attractive woman named Rize Kamishiro shatters his solitude when she forwardly asks him on a date. While walking Rize home, Kaneki discovers she isn't as kind as she first appeared, and she has led him on with sinister intent.
After a tragic struggle, he later awakens in a hospital to learn his life was saved by transplanting the now deceased Rize's organs into his own body.

The first season of the anime adapts the manga relatively closely, but Tokyo Ghoul √A diverges significantly from the manga's storyline with an anime-original plot. Tokyo Ghoul:re attempts to adapt the later manga arcs, but the condensed episode count results in major story beats being cut or altered.
Who animated the Tokyo Ghoul anime?
The Tokyo Ghoul anime was animated by Studio Pierrot, the same studio known for series like Naruto and Bleach. Pierrot handled all three anime seasons, though the production team and directors shifted between installments.
What is Ken Kaneki's transformation in Tokyo Ghoul?
Ken Kaneki transforms into a half-ghoul after a date with a woman named Rize, who turns out to be a flesh-eating ghoul. He survives a near-fatal encounter when steel beams crash down on Rize, and her organs are transplanted into him, giving him ghoul powers while retaining his human appearance.
