After seeing the first episode of Tokyo Ghoul √A, I noticed a major difference
in the anime. Are there any more differences between manga and anime (both
seasons)?

What are the differences between the Tokyo Ghoul anime and manga?

Root A (season 2) is a [completely different
storyline](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/2iyfwt/tokyo_ghoul_second_season_will_have_animeoriginal/)
that diverged from the manga and shows Kaneki if he had joined Aogiri instead
of going off on his own. Though it does have some big spoilers, Read a bit
about why they made this decision on [This
question](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/18391/why-did-tokyo-
ghoul-%E2%88%9Aa-completely-deviate-from-the-manga). Almost the entirety of
Root A is different, but some scenes (mostly fights) are recreated and are
very similar overall. The storylines mostly merge at the last "arc" which
occurs in the last 2-3 episodes of the series. This is the 2nd raid by CCG,
Considering the first being the one against Aogiri (I will not say more as its
Spoilers) and events play out differently but with overall identical results
in the end. That is to say that major events that affected the results of the
Raid occurred in both, though not necessarily in the same way. This was done
presumably to leave the option to return to canon material in Tokyo Ghoul RE
for season 3 if they chose to do it, but it could just be that it was
supposedly the original story-line before Ishida changed it to what the Manga
used, as noted in the first link, and he kept them through both versions.

Season 1 was very similar overall, with only moderate changes such as the
chronology as better described by Thellimist in that answer, and a few other
bits and pieces about how events occurred, primarily regarding Hinami and her
Parents and how those events started up, and they did heavily censor Jasons
Torture to Kaneki. He was down there for 10 days ( Read about it Half way down
the page in the aogiri arc Summary of Jason on the wiki
[here](http://tokyoghoul.wikia.com/wiki/Yakumo_Oomori)

Overall, Season 1 is very similar, while season 2 only has bits and pieces
that are similar.
