List of episodes

Tokyo Ghoul is the first season of an anime television series adapted from the manga of the same name by Sui Ishida. The series is produced by Pierrot, and is directed by Shuhei Morita. The series aired from July 4 to September 19, 2014 on Tokyo MX, TVO, TVA, TVQ, BS Dlife and AT-X.[1] This season adapts the first sixty-six chapters of the manga series.

The anime follows Ken Kaneki, a college student who survives an encounter with the binge-eating ghoul Rize Kamishiro, after having her organs transplanted into him. As a result, Ken became a half-ghoul, half-human hybrid, who learns the ghoul lifestyle after working at the ghoul-run cafe "Anteiku." Later he is captured by a dangerous ghoul, named Jason, due to the similarities he shares with Rize.

The score is composed by Yutaka Yamada. The opening theme for the series is "unravel" by TK from Ling Tosite Sigure, and the ending theme is "The Saints" (聖者たち, Seijatachi) by People In The Box.[2]

The anime was released in Japan by TC Entertainment, with Marvelous handling the promotion of the series. TC Entertainment released the series onto four volumes, with the first volume being released on September 26, 2014, and the fourth volume being released on December 26, 2014. A complete set containing all twelve episodes was released on June 29, 2016.[3]
