Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best order to watch Tokyo Ghoul √A?

Release order. Start with Tokyo Ghoul and go down the list. This is how the creators intended the story to unfold — later entries build on what came before, and watching out of order can spoil key reveals.

About 14 hours total across 36 episodes and 3 entries. At 3-4 episodes per day, that's roughly 11 days.

Can I skip the movies and OVAs?

Release order or chronological order?

Go with release order for your first time through. Chronological can be tempting, but shows are written with release order in mind — reveals hit harder and character arcs make more sense. Save chronological for a rewatch if you want a different perspective.
