Tokyo Ghoul English Sub & Dub

About Tokyo Ghoul

Here is what Tokyo Ghoul is about, retold in plain terms: an action, supernatural and seinen anime by Studio Pierrot (2014). The premise: Tokyo has become a cruel and merciless metropolis—a place where vicious creatures called "ghouls" exist alongside humans. The citizens of this once great metropolis live in constant fear of these bloodthirsty savages and their thirst for human flesh.

Another thread: However, the greatest threat these ghouls pose is their risky ability to masquerade as humans and blend in with society. Based on the best-selling supernatural horror manga by Sui Ishida, Tokyo Ghoul follows Ken Kaneki, a shy, bookish college pupil, who is instantly drawn to Rize Kamishiro, an avid reader like himself. However, Rize is not exactly who she seems, and this unfortunate meeting pushes Kaneki into the dark depths of the ghouls' inhuman world.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.
