A 12-episode
anime television series adaptation produced by Pierrot, aired on
Tokyo MX from July to September 2014. A 12-episode second season, titled Tokyo Ghoul √A (pronounced Tokyo Ghoul Root A), which follows an original story, aired from January to March 2015. A live-action film based on the
manga was released in Japan in July 2017, with a sequel being released in July 2019. An anime adaptation based on the sequel manga, Tokyo Ghoul:re, aired for two seasons; the first from April to
June 2018, and the second from October to December 2018. In North America, Viz Media licensed the manga for an English release, while Funimation licensed the anime series for streaming and home video distribution. By January 2021, Tokyo Ghoul had over 47 million copies in circulation worldwide, making it one of the best-selling manga series of all time. Synopsis[edit] Setting[edit] Tokyo Ghoul is set in an alternate reality where ghouls, creatures that look like normal people but can only survive by eating human flesh, live among the human population in secrecy, hiding their true nature in order to evade pursuit from the authorities. Ghouls have powers including enhanced strength, speed, endurance and regenerative abilities—a regular ghoul produces 4–7 times more kinetic energy in their muscles than a normal human; they also have several times the RC cells, a cell that flows like blood and can become solid instantly. A ghoul's skin is resistant to ordinary piercing weapons, and it has at least one special predatory organ called a Kagune (赫子), which it can manifest and use as a weapon during combat. Another distinctive trait of ghouls is that when they are excited or hungry, the color of their sclera in both eyes turns black and their irises red. This mutation is known as kakugan (赫眼, "red eye").
! Let's Be Heroes: The show's creator describes its style as combining decidedly-American character/art designs and Limited Animation with the visual effects and snappier editing more common in anime, especially the older type. He dubs this mix of styles "Hanna Barbanime", citing Steven Universe (which he previously worked on) as another example, and credits Dexter's Laboratory with inventing the concept. The opening sequence is very reminiscent of Hiroyuki Imaishi's work at Studio Gainax and Studio TRIGGER. It helps that the man himself did the storyboards. The cartoon also has animesque style characters due to the fighting game and Shōnen anime influences. The Owl House leans Western in its character designs and facial expressions, but has some obvious anime influences regardless, such as the large, expressive eyes, colorful
hair on several characters, and the Trapped in Another World plot heavily mirroring isekai works. Disney+ even lists the show under its 'Anime' tag! Ozzy & Drix was based on an American movie and animated in Korea, but came out during the rise of anime-styled shows, so looks animesque. The Pirates of Dark Water would weave in and out of this trope due to having Tama Productions among its studios. The pilot miniseries had a little extra work by Madhouse. Popples: The children have randoseru backpacks, the "ViVi" magazine in "A Hair-Raising Experience" has Japanese writing on it, and Party has Wide Eyes and Shrunken Irises after very loud
music is blasted into her ears by her radio at the near-end of "Pop Goes the Radio". The Powerpuff Girls (2016) has an anime-inspired sequence in "Power of Four" where the girls transform into one big glowing Powerpuff Girl and fight a monstrous version of Him.
