Tokyo Ghoul depicts ghouls who live among humans and eat them. This unique manga by Sui Ishida serializing in Weekly Young Jump (Shueisha) has now become an anime.
The TV anime began broadcasting earlier this month. Directing the anime Shuhei Morita, who was bathed in attention for the OVA Freedom and whose short film Possessions was nominated in the Best Animated Short Film category at the 2013 Academy Awards in the U.S. Producing the anime is Studio Pierrot which has brought to the world many popular anime to date. The dark taste of the original work has shifted to anime, and the visuals have been finished off in a fascinating manner. Tokyo Ghoul is one of the standout 2014 summer works.
The anime has an abundance of charms, the music being one of them. The opening theme, “Unravel,” is a solo work by TK of Ling Tosite Sigure who takes on the vocals and guitar. A highlight is the new forms of expression he displays from his three-piece band, which is also in charge of the ending theme, “Seijatachi.” The band was formed back in 2005. They are known for their high musicality and the worlds created by their unique songs. This musicality is fully on display in “Seijatachi.”
A non-credit version of the opening video featuring the theme song is now available on the official site for those who want to savor it even more. It features nothing but music and video that can’t be seen on TV, meaning that fans will be able to appreciate it in a new way.
New character illustrations have also been released of a character who is highly popular even in the original manga, the “Gourmet” Shū Tsukiyama. Fourth-year college student Tsukiyama is a handsome guy, but he’s also an eccentric who is called pompous due to his peculiar morals and behavior. He even shows a bizarre tenacity toward food. Playing Shū is voice actor Mamoru Miyano. It will be interesting to see when he will make an appearance in the anime.
