Tokyo Ghoul:re is the third and final season of the Tokyo Ghoul anime television series which is based on Sui Ishida's sequel manga series of the same name. The anime is produced by Pierrot and directed by Toshinori Watanabe. Tokyo Ghoul:re aired from April to December 2018 on Tokyo MX, SUN, TVA, TVQ and BS11. Notably, Tokyo Ghoul:re follows the manga's continuity, effectively disregarding the events introduced in the previous season, Tokyo Ghoul √A, for it diverged significantly from the manga, incorporating an anime-original storyline that was not part of Sui Ishida's original work. As a result, Tokyo Ghoul:re does not reconcile or reference most of the unique plotlines from √A, instead aligning closely with the narrative established in the manga.
Set two years after the ending of the original series, it follows the story of Haise Sasaki, Ken Kaneki's new identity, who is a member of the CCG and the leader of the Quinx Squad, a group of half-ghoul, half-human hybrids who use their ability to attack and defeat ghouls.
Yutaka Yamada returns as the composer for the score. For the first part, the opening theme for the is "Asphyxia" by Cö shu Nie, and the ending theme is "Half" by Queen Bee. For the second part, the opening theme is "katharsis" by TK from Ling Tosite Sigure, and the ending theme is by österreich.
