The second season of the Tokyo Ghoul anime television series, titled Tokyo Ghoul √A, is produced by Pierrot, and directed by Shuhei Morita. The season aired from January to March 2015 on Tokyo MX, TVO, TVA, TVQ, MRO, BS Dlife and AT-X.[1]
The season roughly adapts the second half of the Tokyo Ghoul manga, although, √A does not directly adapt everything from the manga.

The music is composed by Yutaka Yamada, who also produced the score for the first season. The opening theme for the season is by österreich,[3] and the ending theme is by amazarashi.[4]
