Also when a reboot come (god knows if and when) the ost may change but the voice actors might remain mostly the same. Rozen Maiden was an anime that aired around 2006 and then there was another season in 2013 and everyone still had the same voice actor. So it is possible. i said i havent seen manga ( to tell u the truth i dont like seeing manga at all, actully white and block ones, that's the reason i haven't seen the manga) but until now Tokyo Ghoul is the best anime for me in the world even if someone say death note ( i have seen it myself) is better i'll tell him to go see tokyo ghoul.but what are you saying is pushing me to go and see the manga for the first time im my life :D. if its really better than the anime ill go and read the manga and i will tell you, my final Opinion guys :D( just tell me: its better or not?! ). I get the impression you're pretty young through your posts. For what it's worth, the manga is seinin (aimed at adult men) and the anime is a dumbed down version that gives a shounen (aimed at boys) vibe. I take it it's because it was made by Studio Pierrot which makes some really well known shounen.

The manga is generally considered far superior to the anime. The first season adapts the first half of the manga relatively faithfully, but is drier and leaves out some of the important explanations and developments. Season two was made as an alternate telling of the second half of the manga. It shows what would happen if Kaneki had taken a different path, so the manga and anime actually have two branching storylines. Even though it's an adaptation it's almost like reading a new story because of the direction the anime took.

Kaneki is also a completely different character. In the manga he actually...does stuff. I won't give too much away, but for one he actually runs his own gang as opposed to joining someone else's so we see how he works as a gang leader. Subsequently, we get to see a lot more of characters the anime skimmed over and didn't develop.

So with the manga you get an alternate storyline, the same main character but with a proactive personality, more character development from characters the anime neglected, and more explanations. Like what happened to Rize, the twin girls' back story, why Shachi attacked Kaneki, more on ghoul biology, what happened during the Kaneki vs. Arima fight,  etc.
