It was announced earlier that
One Piece would be losing it's Toonami time slot to the English dub of Tokyo Ghoul. While it's sad to see
One Piece dropped from the Toonami slate, the new promo released for
Tokyo Ghoul should get you excited for its upcoming premiere.
Tokyo Ghoul follows Ken Kaneki, a college student who barely survives a deadly encounter with his date who happens to be a ghoul, creatures that must eat human flesh to survive. He is taken to the hospital in critical condition and learns that he has become the first Ghoul-human hybrid upon recovering from the incident.
There are currently two 12-episode seasons for
Tokyo Ghoul, with a rumored third season in the works.
Tokyo Ghoul premieres this Saturday, March 15, 2017 at 1:00 am on Toonami. Check out the new promo below!
