Exciting news! The anime series, “Tokyo Ghoul,” will be screened in select U.S. theaters for one day only, on July 21st. Crunchyroll will be presenting a special event called “Sink Your Teeth: A Tokyo Ghoul Celebration.” This unique occasion will showcase a collection of episodes from Season 1 of the popular anime series “Tokyo Ghoul,” which blends dark supernatural horror themes.

Originally penned by mangaka Sui Ishida, this series was initially published by Shueisha in 2011 and ended in 2014. Consisting of 14 volumes, it was later transformed into an anime in 2014 by Studio Pierrot. Following the success of its first season, the anime extended with numerous additional 12-episode seasons until its final chapter in 2018 under the titles Tokyo Ghoul √A, Tokyo Ghoul:re, and Tokyo Ghoul:re 2nd Season. Prepare for the return of the excitement to cinemas!

A Special Theater Premiere to Sink Your Teeth Into

Ken Kaneki, a student who usually prefers books over socializing, generally tries to stay solitary, more so with the surge of ghoul-related criminal activities. After all, in a world where man-eating creatures that resemble humans might be lurking everywhere, isn’t it natural to be cautious? However, when he lands a date with the captivating Rize Kamishiro, he can’t resist the chance. Unfortunately, his date turns out to be a ghoul, leading to a struggle for survival that night. The subsequent life-saving surgery transforms Ken into a ghoul himself. Will Ken manage to fit in this unusual, often overlooked society, or will it consume him entirely?

The voice actors for this series include Natsuki Hanae, known as Tanjiro Kamado in “Demon Slayer” and Ken Takakura in “Dandadan”, who voices Ken Kaneki (dubbed by Austin Tindle in English). Sora Amamiya, recognized as Akame in “Akame ga Kill!” and Aqua in “KonoSuba”, provides the voice for Touka Kirishima (dubbed by Brina Palencia in English). Director Shuhei Morita also contributes to the show. In 2014, “Tokyo Ghoul” was among the most well-received anime alongside other popular titles like “Space Dandy”, “No Game No Life”, and “Haikyuu!!”.

Thanks to Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment, the compilation movie “Sink Your Teeth: A Tokyo Ghoul Celebration” is set to hit select cinemas on July 21st. This film, lasting a total of 147 minutes, will feature six episodes (episodes 1, 5, 8, 10, 11, and 12) from Season 1.
