[Unboxing] Tokyo Ghoul √A

Tokyo Ghoul fans it has been a long wait since we released Season 1 back in October of last year but the time has finally come to bring you our release of the sequel series, Tokyo Ghoul √A, also known as Tokyo Ghoul Root A. Get the full details on our release below.

ABOUT TOKYO GHOUL √A

Synopsis: In modern day Tokyo, society lives in fear of Ghouls: mysterious creatures who look exactly like humans — yet hunger insatiably for their flesh. None of this mattered to Ken Kaneki, a bookish and ordinary young man, until a dark and violent encounter turned him into the first ever Ghoul-human half-breed. Picking up where the first season left off Ken continues onwards into the dark world he has found himself in.

WHAT’S INSIDE? WHAT’S ON THE DISCS?

We’re releasing the series as a Limited Collector’s Edition Blu-ray set, limited to 1000 units across all retailers, and on standard edition DVD from 13th June. A standard edition Blu-ray release will be following in July.

Our Limited Edition Blu-ray release follows the style set by our Season 1 Collector’s Edition set, coming packed in a rigid case with a transparent o-card (aka slip cover). Inside that a digipack to hold the two Blu-ray and there’s an hard back art book as well that comes with lots of information about the characters and the series itself, including an interview with the director who analyses the entire series episode by episode.

On the discs themselves you’ll find:
