A special 10th anniversary key visual has been revealed for the Tokyo Ghoul anime series with the first season airing in Japan on July 4, 2014.
To celebrate the anime’s 10th anniversary, all 50 episodes of the series will be released for free on the official Studio Pierrot YouTube channel starting April 5, 2024.
Sui Ishida’s original manga series was serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Young Jump from September 8, 2011 to September 18, 2014, with 14 tankobon volumes released in total. A follow-up titled Tokyo Ghoul:re was released in the same magazine from October 16, 2014 to July 5, 2018 and released a total of 16 tankobon volumes. VIZ Media releases the manga in English for North America.
Besides several TV anime adaptations, the manga also inspired a prequel spin-off titled Tokyo Ghoul [Jack], four light novels, several video games, and two live-action films in 2017 and 2019.

The first 12-episode TV anime series aired in 2014, followed up by Tokyo Ghoul √A in 2015, and Tokyo Ghoul:re in 2018. Two OVAs titled Tokyo Ghoul [Jack] and Tokyo Ghoul: Pinto were also released in 2015. Crunchyroll is streaming all seasons of the anime, which was previously licensed by Funimation.
VIZ describes the first volume of Tokyo Ghoul as:
Shy Ken Kaneki is thrilled to go on a date with the beautiful Rize. But it turns out that she’s only interested in his body — eating it, that is. When a morally questionable rescue transforms him into the first half-human half-Ghoul hybrid, Ken is drawn into the dark and violent world of Ghouls, which exists alongside our own.
