In celebration of 20 years of Naruto, Studio Pierrot posted an anniversary PV on their YouTube channel. The PV is a compilation of newly reworked scenes from Naruto containing new animation.
This is the classic Tokyo Ghoul rec because both follow a normal student whose body becomes part-monster, forcing him to question humanity and survival. Parasyte is more philosophical and controlled, but the body-horror identity crisis is almost exactly the same hook.
Both shows use man-eating creatures, fear of the other, and a protagonist who becomes connected to the enemy side. Attack on Titan is larger-scale and military-focused, but the horror, transformation, and moral ambiguity overlap strongly.
Ajin shares the hunted-monster identity setup, government experimentation, and a protagonist forced into a hidden conflict after discovering he is not fully human. Its CG look is different, but the paranoia and persecution themes match Tokyo Ghoul well.
Both have violent secret systems, body-based powers, gore, and protagonists trapped in a brutal world they barely understand. Deadman Wonderland is more prison/death-game focused, but it carries the same edgy survival tone.
Devilman: Crybaby shares demonic transformation, violent sexuality, social collapse, and the tragedy of becoming something feared by humans. It is more apocalyptic and experimental, but fans of Tokyo Ghoul's human/monster conflict often see the similarity.
Fans who liked Tokyo Ghoul tend to recommend Parasyte, Attack on Titan, Ajin: Demi-Human the most. This is the classic Tokyo Ghoul rec because both follow a normal student whose body becomes part-monster, forcing him...
