Finally, the website updated its character designs for Ken Kaneki
Tokyo Ghoul √A will premiere on January 8 and run for 12 episodes. Tokyo's TOHO Cinemas Nihonbashi will host an advance screening of the first episode on January 4. Funimation will stream the series as it airs.

Whereas Ishida was credited with creating the original manga for the first season, Ishida is now also credited with the original story concept for the second season. Funimation streamed the first season as it aired this past summer, and holds the home video rights.

The band amazarashi will perform the ending song "Kisetsu wa Tsugitsugi Shindeiku" (Seasons Dying One After Another). österreich will perform the opening theme "Munō" (Incompetence).

Ishida's original manga has over 9.3 million copies in circulation. Ishida ended the manga on September 18, then launched Tokyo Ghoul:re with a different lead character in October.

Actually looking forward to this due to the plot taking a different route than the manga.

Hmm... I reeeally don't know how to feel about the different story. I was SO looking to the forward to the rest of the manga getting animated. Regardless, I'm still going to watch it! I'll probably end up liking it, but gosh it would be cool to see the animated version of the manga. I also read that said "Root A" means root of Aogiri Tree (A = Aogiri). So if that's true I think it'll be pretty cool :>

Wow I couldn't make that connection. Nice! Definitely seems much more interesting now.
