Ganta Igarashi’s life turns upside-down when a mysterious man in red massacres his whole class. As such, their tragedy and fight against supernatural-like beings are what makes Blue Exorcist a complementary companion show. Also, both anime shows deal with humanity versus an opposing race, with Tokyo Ghoul dealing with ghouls and Blue Exorcist with demons. Just like Tokyo Ghoul, both main characters start out as humans whose lives are interrupted when disastrous events from the hidden world start happening. To foil Satan’s plan, Rin’s foster father must sacrifice himself to save Rin from a cruel fate. Rin is a boy who bears the curse of being Satan’s illegitimate son. To keep this from happening, a group of exorcists fight these demons to maintain peace. Despite the ban on travel between the worlds, there’s a loophole, as demons can possess creatures in Assiah so they can cross over. In Gehenna, dark and powerful demons reside and plan on taking over the human world.
The first world, known as Assiah, is where humans live without any knowledge of what creeps in the other world, Gehenna. In Blue Exorcist, the world is not what it appears to be because it has two dimensions.

Plus, both series also feature a main character with an eyepatch. While this makes it a top contender, Another‘s take on the gore genre is not like any other. The feel and tone of Another makes it a worthy candidate for Tokyo Ghoul fans as it perfectly explores similar dark and horror themes. At the same time, he also tries to solve a gruesome phenomenon plaguing classroom 3-3.
Years later, there’s a new group of students who all decide to label their fellow classmate, Mei Misaki as “the one that does not exist.” But, when a new student, Kouichi, arrives, he ignores the other students’ warnings about Mei and gets closer to her. The death covers the town and school with a layer of fear and death. The story starts in 1972, after the death of classroom 3-3 student, Misaki Yomiyama. On top of that, much like Tokyo Ghoul, the established order does routine inspections to weed out the infected. As soon as one is spotted, the authorities kill them on the spot. While Kabaneri is much more similar to Attack on Titan, it does share some similarities with Tokyo Ghoul, specifically, the treatment of the infected Kabane. However, this all changes when the Kabane infiltrates the Hayajiro. On the fictional island of Hinomoto, humans hide from “ Kabane” - zombie-like creatures - in iron fortresses called “stations.” Protected with only armored locomotives known as “ Hayajiro,” people travel between stations bringing some sense of normality to their lives. Since the release of the Tokyo Ghoul live-action movie and with Season 3 airing sometime in 2018, fans of the anime series need another anime to satisfy their human-flesh-eating hunger. So here’s a list of seven anime shows that express a similar gory feel and tone as Tokyo Ghoul.
