Tokyo Ghoul season 2 continues the suspense-horror series following Ken Kaneki, a human that after a encounter with a beautiful girl at his favourite cafe ends up becoming the first human/ghoul half-breed. Now trapped between two vastly different worlds Ken must navigate the violent warring Ghoul factions while learning about Ghoul society and avoiding becoming a monster.
This season Tokyo Ghoul's creator Sui Ishida is credited with creating the original story concept for the second season, he will be joined by the director of the first season, Oscar-nominated Shuhei Morita (Freedom, Possessions) at Studio Pierrot. Season one's series supervisor and script writer Chūji Mikasano will also return alongside character designer Kazuhiro Miwa (animation director on EUREKA SEVEN AO, Gosick, Heroman).
Ishida launched Tokyo Ghoul in Weekly Young Jump in 2011, and Shueisha shipped the 14th and final compiled volume on October 17. Viz will publish the manga in North America.
Tokyo Ghoul premiered in early July on Tokyo MX, TV Osaka, TV Aichi, TVQ Kyushu Broadcast, and BS Dlife. Funimation previously announced simulcast and home video rights for North America and Madman licensed the title to simulcast through AnimeLab.
Madman Entertainment is the first distributor outside of Japan to confirm licensing Tokyo Ghoul season 2 and their simulcast plans, Funimation, Kazé Germany, Wakanim.tv and Anime on Demand have yet to confirm if they will be continuing with season 2.
Ishida has launched the new Tokyo Ghoul:re manga in Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump magazine in October with a change in the main lead character.
