2. Tokyo Ghoul (Season 3)
There is a reason why anime is globally gaining popularity. The formidable storylines, character animations, and emotional upheavals leave the audience stranded and wanting more. We genuinely say this from experience. You’ll feel the same once you see Howl’s Moving Castle or Spirited Away. Tokyo Ghoul amassed majorly positive criticism through the airing of its first season. The second season was launched back in 2015, and yet again was successful in capturing the interest of its audiences. The 3rd season was launched in April this year and takes place 2 years from the story of the actual manga.
The story revolves around a guy, Ken Kaneki who unknowingly went out on a date with a ghoul. That encounter transforms him into a half-human, half-ghoul hybrid and he is thrown into the dark world of ghouls only to find out the ghouls had been existing beside humanity in their everyday lives. The 3rd season brings in a lot of action and darkness with it, so be sure of being a fan of this genre before giving it a watch. But if you do happen to take an interest in it, we guarantee satisfaction. Be sure to add this series to your watch list.
