Season chronology

The anime follows Ken Kaneki, a college student who survives an encounter with the ghoul Rize Kamishiro after a date with her through transplanting her organs into him. As a result, Ken became a half-ghoul, half-human hybrid, and learns the lifestyle of the ghouls after visiting and working for the ghoul-run cafe "Anteiku", however, is captured due to inheriting many of the ghoul-like characteristics of 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]
