Crunchyroll Screens Select Tokyo Ghoul Episodes in U.S. Theaters on July 21

Crunchyroll announced on Monday that it will hold a one-day theatrical screening of select episodes from the first Tokyo Ghoul anime season in the United States on July 21. The event, titled "Sink Your Teeth: A Tokyo Ghoul Celebration," will screen the English dub of episodes 1, 5, 8, 10, 11, and 12.

Crunchyroll describes Tokyo Ghoul:

Ken Kaneki is a loner. In a world where ghouls—human-like creatures who survive on human flesh—and people are at war, his biggest concern is which novel to pick up next. But when a date with the mysterious Rize turns deadly, a lifesaving operation horrifyingly transforms him into a human-ghoul hybrid. Can he find his place in a society where it's hunt or be hunted?

Manga creator Sui Ishida serialized Tokyo Ghoul in Weekly Young Jump from 2011 to 2014, and then serialized Tokyo Ghoul:re from 2014 until July 2018. Viz Media released the manga series in North America.

The Tokyo Ghoul anime aired in 2014 and Tokyo Ghoul √A aired in 2015. The first season of the Tokyo Ghoul:re anime premiered in April 2018, and the second season premiered in October 2018. Funimation streamed the series with English subtitles and with an English dub.
