Anime 42249 Tokyo Revengers Reviews Filter Check 1

Such a boring show, typical time travelling, middle school gangs who look like adults, goofy mc, no emotion this show it the defenition of a hype train.

Or so a fool would say...

This spring season has been producing amazing and interesting shows but for me tokyo revengers takes the cake here. Our protagnist Takemitchi is on a mission to save Hina from her destined fate and has to work back in time solving events in order to stop the inevitable.

What intrests me the most about this show is the way our protagnists wants to protect his girlfriend but 8 episodes in and hes already growing bonds ... with others, I've grown attached to characters like Mikey and Draken for their badass persona and their flucating relationship always has me on the edge of my seat because you know at the back of your mind that there will be a domono effect on events.

The story is super compelling and has me intrested a few episodes in. The plot twists, turns and cliff hangers reminds me of watching attack on titan for the first time. We know that the main mission is to save Hina but boy oh boy are there some intresting obstacles that takemitchi has to execute almost perfectly.

The art is really nice and if im not mistaken this is a pretty new studio and has done an excellent job on creating vibrant colors especially shown in the intro. Aswell as this, this sound is absolutelty fitting and a pleasure to hear.

The characters are really likeable and were only 8 episodes in. Theyre really intresting to learn about and there are so many more which im eager to discover aswell as the roots of Toman gang. Also, they are almost representative of gangs (not for middle schoolers lol) and really shows the Japanese side of things which is always super cool to learn.

Overall, the enjoyment for this show is super high and always cant wait for it on saturdays after nagatoro, vivy, 86. and mha. I have high hopes for this show and cannot wait for ep 9.

Time travel, the most overworked setting of every sci-fi show to ever come out. It’s such a simple concept on paper yet extremely difficult to execute properly in any medium. Most time travel shows follow two paths. They either shine brightly and is remembered by people as a revolutionary piece of media such as Terminator or Back to the Future, or is over hyped and falls into the pit of mediocrity and is forgotten by most people. Tokyo Revengers unfortunately follows the latter of these two paths.

If the word “Overhyped” had a picture, it would be the Tokyo Revengers poster. A show filled with annoying ... characters and a story with enough plot holes to make a sponge seem like a plain surface. The story follows our mc travelling back in time to save his girlfriend from her demise. It’s your classic cliché romance setting with a time travel aspect, which if explained carefully and presented properly, could be a hit of a show. Unfortunately it fails in both regards. It starts off pretty strong but pretty quickly loses its focus.
The initial problem is the time travelling aspect in this show which isn’t explained properly. The mcs actions while time travelling has serious consequences on the very people he is trying to save, but the seriousness of that is barely expressed as you see him make abhorrent and ridiculous decisions. The time travelling aspect is barely touched upon and nothing is properly explained. The story also plays out safe, it kills off characters meant to be killed off, and doesn’t force the mc to make a difficult choice. There’s no sacrifice that has to be made. It ventures in a straight, risk less line towards its goal, which doesn’t work as the whole point of time traveling is to create conflicts due to changing events of the past to the established future. We have barely any information on the time aspect, which leaves the story with too many plot holes. If the main theme remains convoluted, then the story is on a fast track to failure.
The risks of infiltrating and living a delinquent lifestyle, mixed with the perils of constant time travelling could have been an extremely intriguing plot, filled with suspense and tension if executed properly. Unfortunately the mcs the most unlikable person to ever exist since Kirito. The plot holes gets you more and more disjointed from the story the further you watch. The show drags out a lot in the closing arcs, the pacing gets rough as some scenes that required more details are tossed aside. Characters make ridiculous and extremely stupid decisions which doesn’t make sense. “Appointing a member of the gang you just fought with as your captain” the thought itself should be enough to make you realize it’s a bad decision.
The romance in this show just doesn’t work. We have Emma, she’s bland as flour. There’s nothing about her that makes Takemichis efforts in saving her worthwhile. She’s established as your classic, super likeable waifu character. In the show we rarely see her coming out of her shell or showing any signs of development. Her delusion towards Takemichi is unjustifiable. We get no coherent reasoning as to why she’s so accepting of him, even after all the shit he does. In the future she says how Takemichi hurt her, but then proceeds to express her love for him like bruhhh that isn’t how shit works. It goes vice versa too. Takemichi was an adult when Hinata died. Why is he this envious in saving the girls life whom he hasn’t interacted with for years? A mentally 26 year old guy crushing over a 14 year old is creepy to begin with, even without that, his whole dilemma towards her makes no sense. The romance in this show is horrible, super cliché and bland, with characters taking and doing ridiculous stunts in the name of “love”. There’s nothing to appreciate about these characters, let alone putting this much effort in saving them.
In the later arcs of the show, we see a lot and I mean a lot of unneeded conflicts and fights. Now don’t get me wrong, that’s probably the most enjoyable aspect of the show, but it’s so unnecessary and completely splits away from the main goal of the show. We see some unneeded conflicts arise due to a lot of really stupid decisions. Some conflicts could have been solved if the mc was efficient enough in using his brain as he is using his fist. It’s really messy plot wise, but super entertaining otherwise. The ending couple of episodes is honestly the most entertaining mess I’ve watched recently.

Now let’s get to the worst part of the show, the MC. Pathetic, whiny, displeasing, and aggravating. Every synonym of the word annoying can be used to describe him. He to me is like the modern day Kirito, annoying for a completely different reason. The whole aspect of going back to the past to change the future is complicated, and one needs to be intelligent and make the right decisions. Unfortunately our mc does none of those. He cries, uses himself like a punching bag, and has the most action over words type of attitude I’ve seen. He is extremely unlikable. He goes against every trope of a shounen protagonist. There’s no redeeming factors about him. He is meant to be a kid, but he plays that role a bit too well, so much so that there’s not even a hint of maturity coming from him. His whole persona revolves around making big goals then failing to fulfill them. Id honestly prefer a mute, personality less hentai mc than blonde crybaby Kirito.
Onto the good characters. Draken and Mikey. There probably the most likeable aspects of the show. They go against every trope you think of when you see the word “Gang member”. We see this initially when they apologies to the mother of a girl who was a victim of a gang violence. It sets them apart from your classic gang member ideology, and the more time passes, the more you see these two characters come out of their shells. Definitely the most entertaining and likeable characters from the show.
Other characters such as Kazutora, Chifuyu and Baji each have their roles to play, especially in the ending arcs of the anime. You don’t get as attached to them as Mikey or Draken due to their arguably short screen time, but they’re entertaining to watch nonetheless. Kazutora and his dive into insanity is intriguing. He choreographs his plan to kill Mikey as a scapegoat to justify the actions of him committing murder in his past, is super stereotypical yet really entertaining. His actions leads to the ending arc of the anime being something out of the Yakuza games. Fight after fights, completely unnecessary but extremely entertaining.
Other characters like Naota, Hinata, and Emma gets left unexplored or paid much attention too. Naota’s meant to be a super smart cop and shit, but has the least impact in the show in any ways. The first half of the story revolves heavily around Hinata, but she herself doesn’t contribute much to the story itself. Her character doesn’t go against the basic anime waifu tropes. She simultaneously feels like a person and a robot. These characters could have been integral to the story, but were unused and unexplored which made them pretty forgettable and sometimes extremely redundant when it came to having an impact on the story.

Coming to the art aspect of the show, it’s extremely mediocre. It’s visually eye-catching, but the more you get into the plot, the more the art style starts getting almost painful to watch. The characters look like they’re going through a mid-life crisis in their teens. The art style cannot clearly depict the characters ages at all. Adults look like overgrown children, and the actual children look like they hit puberty in their mother’s womb. The blood and gore in the uncensored version looks comical, and honestly less intimidating and more hilarious. The art in this show starts off as a high, but gets mediocre as you start relating it with the plots. It’s not enough to go bleach your eyes, but enough to reconsider putting your eyes through the pain of watching this lobotomites in every episode. The animation is no saving grace either, it’s definitely no Jujutsu Kaisen, and pretty sub-par often times, with enough still frames to give food wars a run for their money. But considering it’s a pretty new studios, it has done average with what resources they had. All in all, Tokyo Revengers was the Cyberpunk 2077 of anime, extremely hyped up and disappointing results.

Now, is Tokyo Revengers a bad show?
Objectively, Yes
Personally, Fuck No

The series being a big ball of messy plot, weird looking characters and unnecessary action makes this show fun. Just like how Cyberpunk was fun cause of its glitches, TR is fun cause of its convoluted plot and absolute abhorrent looking characters. It’s entertaining watching the cliché filled romance of the show. You realize that it’s stupid as shit and boring but that’s what’s entertaining. The last arc for me was amazing. I barely understood anything, I just enjoyed the constant beating up, blood gushing out of everyone while they give a friendship speech, and it was entertaining as hell. I can only describe it as the visual representation of Jamie Vardy’s “Chat shit get banged” tweet. It was an entertaining experience for me for a completely different reason. I do wish that the show would have been a lot more leaning towards conflicts being solved with proper decision making. This show is pure brainless fun. Apart from the mc being annoying enough to make you want to tear out your eardrums, every flawed aspect of the story was extremely amusing for me, and added more amusement to the show. Definitely would implore you to give this a shot if you’re bored. The show will make you scratch your head while simultaneously entertaining you with its awful yet entertaining, super convoluted, overtly dramatic, disproportional looking characters, and boy I enjoyed every second of it.

Okay, I was a little underwhelmed when first coming into this. But as the episodes played out one by one, The story just got better and better. I have seen people call this an Erased ripoff but what they fail to realize is how much they casually use this and it just becomes amazing as the plot progresses and each time Takemichi returns to the present, a new timeline unfolds and it just feels fresh instead of just repeating the cycle!

Though character designs might not be the best, the sound not be the one to please your ears but the overall storyline combined with ... the cliffhanger of each episode just makes you come back for more , and that just brings more hype for the next episode!

After all, this is definitely something to look out for this season!

For all the anime watchers, so far I would this anime an 8 but trust me this is only the build-up.

The story has not reached the arcs that make this anime a Top 100 anime but I'm very sure that this anime is going to be the 'Jujutsu Kaisen' of 2021

I suggest reading the manga if you can't wait, the manga is so far my favourite manga and it just amazingly thought out. The antagonist is yet to be shown and many other members of the Tokyo Manji Clan is yet to be shown.

So if you are watching thinking the first few episodes ... are not up to your standards, just wait.

Tokyo Revengers. Just a bunch of delinquents. Made my account just to write this review if that says anything. This show has me on the edge of my seat every episode. Can't remember the last time I got my this hyped up. Never thought I would get so hooked on this kind of a story; its not my usual. Fantastic character development. I feel as though each character has meaning and is important. Perfect amount of action, comedy and romance to keep you engaged. Great plot and amazing pacing. Only real improvement I could even ask for is a bit better art. However that is ... just me comparing it to Ufotable, Inc. Loving everything about it. Definitely my favorite of this season.

To say this was a pleasent surprise would be the understatement of the century

With animation that at times looks like it came out of a tamagotchi and an artsltyle which might take some getting used to, i avoided this anime like the plague untill i got it for MAL secret santa
Well now i can confidently say this has landed on the list of best christmas presents ever received
What Tokyo Revengers might lack in aesthetic is made up for 10 fold in the story it tells

The mystery elements are extreamly well done keeping you hooked episode after episode making it near impossible not to binge it
And ... although it's not the most character driven show it still does a great job illustrating what's behind each characters motives and behaviors and aces in their developement, there is not one member of Toman who plays a role in this series you won't be able to care for and/or connect to

If you could go back in time and change anything, what would you do? It’s a question and concept as old as humanity itself, yet it constantly appears in media time after time. Why? Because it’s integral to the human condition, we constantly want to change our mistakes or do something we didn’t get a chance to. The fact that we can’t, is what makes life some meaningful. Every encounter, every action counts.

Despite it being an old concept, Tokyo Revengers does an excellent job of presenting it with a rather unique twist. The MC being able to time-travel via connection to his deceased ex ... gf’s brother was something I hadn’t seen before and really enjoyed. The gang warfare and logistical management of a gang aspects were fun and original. While at times the story is far fetched and kind of unbelievable, it has a lot of fun moments that allow you to overlook that.

Personally, the idea that 12-15 year olds can run criminal empires without their parents knowing or law enforcement intervening is laughable at best, subpar writing at worst, but it’s anime. Who cares. At the end of the day, we just want stories that provide entertainment and allow us to escape. Tokyo Revengers has that in spades. Once you make it past 15 year olds looking like 25 year olds and 25 year olds looking like 14 year olds, you’ll find a really interesting supernatural time travel storyline. The biggest highlight for me was the strategic mind games between the MC and the antagonist. It felt a bit like a chess match. I like the fact that the MC lacks any real powers or strength of his own and instead has to rely on his ability to form relationships with people from totally different walks of life in order to change the future.

The show can be a bit slow at times. There’s definitely episodes over the two cours that feel like nothing much happened, but it’s often in an effort to build up future events/arcs. The action sequences are…. pretty bad to say the least. The climax of the series(final 4 episodes) really looked like a slideshow at times. I’m not sure if it was because of the pandemic or not, but the studio really dropped the ball during the Bloody Halloween episodes. That said, there’s really not a tremendous amount of action in the show. It’s mainly mindgames and exposition, which I don’t mind, but if that’s not your thing you’ve been warned. There’s a few fights, but the focus is on the story and the MC’s growth.

Tokyo Revengers grew on me week after week. For the first 4 weeks, I was pretty uninterested, but of course kept watching. As the plot began to unfold and things became more clear about the antagonist, I got more absorbed into the anime. It eventually became one of my most anticipated of the week. By now, TR has surely become one of the biggest shows of the year, and honestly for good reason. I think it’s one of the few shonen series to deserve the hype it’s got. An underdog loveable MC that makes you want to root for him and a mysterious time travel ability, along with some edgy gang banging teens is a pretty cool combo.

Tokyo Revengers gets 8 out of 10.

I’m starting this review off up front by saying that “Tokyo Revengers” is, for me, a 10/10 series, but I’m a big softie when it comes to anything unique. I tend to score things a bit on the higher side, so, for you it may be an 8 or a 9 (if you like the same kind of things I do), but I want to be up front that I think this is a great anime and that it absolutely must be seen. I’m putting this at the beginning of my review, because I’m going to sound pretty mean about this anime a bit later, ... but I want it to be known that it’s very minor stuff, mostly dealing with visual elements, and doesn’t change the fact that this series deserves near perfect marks for its originality, story, and characters, and by no means does the visual side detract from any of that. This was not a bad adaptation, it just wasn’t a legendary one.

Premise is cool. Time travel + Delinquents. If you’ve got any interest in seinen/shonen, that should be enough to get you to watch it and also enough to keep you from asking too much about the plot, or reading up about it online. Once you KNOW that the series is about time travel (which is NOT a spoiler), you know that you shouldn’t research too much, or you risk ruining it for yourself. This series delves heavily into dealing with disappointment, regret, and facing the failures of your past; I believe these are themes a lot of people can relate to. I certainly did. If I had the chance to go back in time, there’s a lot of stuff I would do differently…

Disclaimer: if you’re the type of person who has to have an explanation for how time travel works…

Maybe sit this one out. Not every plot device needs to be explained up front, and we don’t get one here, and if that’s gonna be what you’re thinking about the whole time while you watch this anime, don’t bother with it. I daresay, this one’s not for you. Since I’m saying this, you clearly understand that I’m not the type to get hung up on stuff like, “bUt HoW dOeS hIs TiMe TrAveL wOrK?” BS. I can suspend disbelief, realize that this is sci-fi, and just roll with it. It worked in “Boku dake ga Inai Machi” and it works here. Honestly, what I found much harder to believe was that these were all 13-14 year olds kicking each other’s butts and riding motorcycles all over the place with not a single parent in sight, especially with Japan’s strict traffic laws. The “past” of this is 2005, not 1985. I definitely don’t recall things in Japan being like that at all when I was living there, just a few years later, but, let’s set that aside as well (for the sake of the plot). I loved this series on a conceptual level – the characters seemed fresh, the story put an original spin on the typical time travel premise, and the plot was twisted enough that I had no idea where things were going, leaving me absolutely gob smacked at the end.

Now, I haven’t read the manga yet, but I’ve seen quite a bit of the art. I thought it was amazing. To be frank, the anime failed to live up to what the manga put on the table, and I can make that judgement based entirely off of skimming through panels in the first few volumes.

All of my complaints about this show come down to visuals, but they’re extremely shallow complaints, coming from someone who has become jaded by bad adaptations and hastily produced garbage.

As far as “Tokyo Revengers” is concerned, the cinematography wasn’t bad; it was normal. The Director behind this didn’t do a bad job, by any means, but he’s a relatively new face. At the end of the day, I’d say he did a commendable job working on such a big project as this, which will most likely be a HUGE financial success, and is already the highest rated series by this studio of all time.

The animation quality, as a whole, wasn’t bad; it was normal. The studio behind this, LIDENFILMS has made a lot of series that had that, “commercially successful” feel to them, but lack when it comes to rating. They’re not out there making art pieces, and they’re not producing shows that can get sold on their sakuga alone. They make anime that look mostly average. From the visuals alone, you probably wouldn’t be able to figure out what studio made this. Very mainstream.

Art, background, fights. All the visuals were normal. They lived up to expectations. None of it looked phoned in, but at the same time, didn’t look like it was painstakingly crafted in some artisan way. There were no copy-pasted cars in any of the scenes, but there were also not that many shots bristling with life from the mid 2000’s shown to give us atmosphere.

It was all just… normal.

The visuals were all very standard, traditional, and popular, in that plastic, mass-produced kind of way. It feels weird to use this as an insult, but it had a very “seasonal anime” vibe to it. I’m afraid people won’t be talking about it years, or even months from now, even though they should be. It could have been an 11/10 anime that gets brought up in the same sentences as stuff like “Steins;Gate”, “Erased”, or “Evangelion”, but I doubt that’s going to be the case even if it’s trending on twitter after the finale. Watching it, I couldn’t help thinking, how damn good it could have been if it had been done with more “style” to it, because “style” is definitely what the manga has in spades. The manga art re-defines stylish, in a retro-future kind of way, taking your typical “delinquents” imagery and amping it up to a hundred. I would have loved to have a little more of that in the adaptation, which for me, fell pretty flat. In my head, when I think of delinquents, my mind goes to “GTO”, “Cromartie High School”, or “Slam Dunk”, and to the 90’s aesthetics. I think it would have been really cool to have seen something more along those lines, in terms of aesthetics, with the adaptation of this series.

To conclude in one really long sentence: “Tokyo Revengers”, the anime, was an absolutely unique experience that was adapted well enough that I won’t forget it, or take points off my review because of the animation, but not well enough that I’ll likely re-watch it, buy it, or add it into my favorites list; however, it made me interested enough in it that I’ll most likely BUY the entire manga, even if I have to import it directly from Japan because there’s no official physical release.

…

Which brings me to the P.S. to this review where I’d like to talk about censorship.

At the time of reviewing this series, which is just following the finale, there’s no print version of this available in the US. I’m not even sure if there’s an official English release in print anywhere. You can find the manga, digitally, to purchase easily enough, it’s right there on Amazon, available through Kindle & Comixology, among other places. Now, why this did not have a physical book, is something that baffled me thoroughly, and after discussing it with a friend on twitter, they suggested that it’s almost certainly because of the “problematic imagery” i.e. the “Manji” character seen blazing throughout, on the flags, and apparel belonging to gang of the main characters in the story . Or, should I say, it WOULD be seen throughout the show, if you’re watching the “Tokyo Revengers” uncensored version, and not the censored version that’s available through legal streaming sources, such as Crunchyroll in the states. The “Manji” is apparently controversial because uneducated people are too stupid to realize the difference between it and the Nazi swastika. One is a spiritually religious symbol, with thousands of years of cultural heritage. One is a white-power hate sign. I don’t usually get up in arms about censorship in anime, because usually it’s for one of two reasons: 1) nudity 2) blood and gore. Fundamentally, I don’t think having censorship of that kind of stuff is a bad thing, since modern streaming services put all the adult titles right there next to the kiddie grade stuff, making it just as easy to watch “Redo of a Healer” as it is to find “Reborn”, and that’s a mistake you don’t wanna make when you’re babysitting… I am, however, completely opposed to companies thought policing us over anime imagery, judging us to be too stupid to educate ourselves about the difference in a symbol’s meaning. It took me 30 seconds to navigate to shorinjiryublog via a quick google search to find a full on explanation of the difference in meaning between a swastika and the Manji. If you’re old enough to watch an anime about time traveling delinquents, you’re old enough to do that level of homework. So, big middle finger to whoever made the decision to censor this for western streaming.

BOY OH BOY.

Tokyo Revengers. What a great show. Episode 0 is basically like the first 4 eps which will get you hooked right off the bat. This show has a protagonist that is basically going back to time through time travel to save his one and only girlfriend. Takemichi the protagonist is basically an underdog who is weak and can't fight. This show has great character building and it never lets you down. In each episode, it gets straight to the point and each episode is always ending with you wanting to know more. I honestly don't understand why people are rating this so low. ... This is one of the few animes that I gave a 10 which shows a lot. The animation is also great and I love the action scenes. The only flaw that I do have so far is that these characters are freaking middle schoolers. I would understand if they were high schoolers but damn. Everything else is great! Please watch this I'm sure it won't let you down.

PLOT: 10

ENJOYMENT:11

This is the Tokyo gang life. Yankee, violence, terrain, status, pride. One man sets out to take his re:venge Re:Zero style (we are running out of ideas) on this cursed life that harmed his future, and the futures are many others.

Tokyo Revengers is a great shounen product. It is entirely unrealistic, whilst performing a realistic story. I see a few complaints about the logic in this world. Rule 1 of shounen anime: there are no rules, we're here to see madness break loose. Tokyo Revengers is a ridiculously biased story, shamelessly leaving burnt tracks of unbalanced plot points in order to get to the destination ... it seeks, that is, this story which is based on infamous Tokyo gangs. So I find no point in complaining about something that (hopefully) is aware of its asinine power levels and time travel logic. In a narrative aspect, Tokyo Revengers is incredible at nailing everything it needs to do as well as it must for an audience of its kind to enjoy. Heartfelt moments. Tense scenes. Nakama power. It's all there and done well. Sure, Tokyo Revengers is standing on a dangerous plane, so it can be hard to take these attributes is presents as serious. It understands what it is but trespasses on the "big boy" land anyway. It is both concurrently serious and not serious. However, I find myself believing that the anime is indeed no different from other big shots out there like KnY and JJK for that matter, what all three have in common is the threat is indeed not something to take lightly, however, light-hearted moments are to be found all around in the anime. Ultimately leaving me with no reason to change any positive thoughts this anime had in relation to its starting theme. The writing is also pretty linear, there are no underlying secrets lingering other than those the plot specifically questions. There is also the consistency of the writing, never really improving or deteriorating any step of the way, in some sense, this may suck for those who want to see the anime "get good" at a particular point, unfortunately, that was never the case here, though, this may change with any future content this anime may have to behold. Overall, there isn't too much to say with the anime in terms of its story, it does what it needs to in the most shounen way for a shounen audience. It's true that the only originality that lies is within the actual theme itself (though not really), but that doesn't matter, at least, to the eyes of many before me, personally was pretty good for what it had for itself, and it was enough to keep me invested even with its love for tropes.

The characters are in the same boat too. Their logic, behaviour, actions, fall under the shounen tropes that reign over the anime. One thing Tokyo Revengers is amazing at, however, compared to other anime I have seen, is the somewhat elaborate detail behind most of its characters. The anime shows the origins of who these people are, and why they have come to be. In some sense, it may have been a domino effect for the anime being what it is with its also profound chemistry. Tokyo Revengers has amazing character chemistry which amplifies any heartfelt moments as the mutual relationships to the characters and those around them is real rather than manufactured, which is also the reason why this anime is realistic in that category, these are real (fictional) people going through real (fictional) events in their lives, and how they respond to it doesn't seem to be far fetched. Really good characters for that matter. I will touch on Takemichi a bit. I think he is a pretty good protagonist for the anime resides in. He has this aura to him that makes him feel as if anyone could be in his position, take up the same path as him, which in turn does make him feel like an idea rather than a person in himself, although, his means to push forward in battle, his means to push forward for his friends, and his mean to push forward to the right things in life gives him his own worthy acclamation to his name he should take pride in. There's also the "crybaby" side of him which is both annoying at times, though loveable.

The audiovisuals are crusty as hell, I can't really find myself describing it better than that. It's a stale relic, brought to life like Dr Frankenstein was in the studio animating himself, old pieces can only hold for so long without any further refurbishment. Whilst this is technically a baseline average for today, that can only be true for the artwork, the animation falters a lot which is a shame to see. Consistent still frames, cheap effects > animation, and choppy products, I can only imagine this anime would be a high-end shounen if it were for such technical faults. The same is somewhat true for audio, however, it wasn't as bad, in fact, I thought it was pretty good for the most part, it's just that the good parts didn't show up a lot.

So, that's that for me, I found myself enjoying Tokyo Revengers. In a universal sense, I would imagine most would enjoy it as well, assuming you are a fan of the shounen genre, this is something to watch. Sure, it would have been better if it had better sakuga and OST since generic shounen is heavily reliant on peripheral audiovisuals to live up to the hype surrounding it. But considering how the story was going, and how interesting it was at times, I find myself believing the majority will love this regardless of its fault in aesthetic.

I'd recommend this anime to most people looking for a good 'shounen' anime. But then again, most recommendations for this are literal relations to similar plot devices found in other anime (Erased, Steins;Gate, [time travel anime]). I have nothing left to touch off with tbh, so I will leave off here for now.

Also, these kids are in middle school lmao. It's crazy.

Tokyo Revengers has taken the anime world by storm in 2021. Similar to Steins;Gate, it tells the story of a young man struggling to save those dear to him through his manipulation of the world's timeline. Despite its similarities with other time travel anime, Tokyo Revengers still manages to separate itself from its predecessors and refresh the genre. The intrigue of time travel and the danger of the delinquent world work together to create a high-stakes story about loyalty and brotherhood


The beginning of Tokyo Revengers held a lot of promise, but its dragged-out pacing, senseless actions and ridiculous decisions outweigh the stellar premise. The characters ... themselves are fun and charming, and their relationships add a dimension that makes the story easy to become invested in. Sadly, that's not enough to carry an anime through to the end. The series still has time to redeem itself, though, so hopefully, Tokyo Revengers will regain its original strength and give fans the anime it promised to be.

One day I was bored so I thought lets watch an anime and I saw tokyo revengers and then I read the summary and realised the story was very different . I thought lest give it a ty, at that time only 15 episodes came, so I watched the first episode and I realised this anime has a very good potential, so I continued watching now the point of time I am writing this review 19 episodes have been released and it is a good anime. I couldn't wait for the next episode so I read the manga till the chapter released 217 and I ... realised that the anime will take atleast 2-3 years to complete. I will say this a good anime, amazing plot twists and character development. So I will recommend yo to watch this anime. Hope you liked the review. PEACE OUT!!!!

Where To Start:
This was a roller coaster from happy, sadness happy enjoyment lust all on 24 ep
why u ask :
the Characters were amazing , the animation was amazing , story could be better but overall one of the most fun and Enjoyment i had in years after jujutsu kaisen ofc the first epi's were doll boring but after it got into the story and the Character development i wanted to become a gang member u got no idea how much fun u are missing out ATM if i say it even surpassed one piece at making you wanna just pay and watch all the ... ep in one day , i hope a new season soon in 1 year at best will make it a lovely time if it take too much it might kill it did not read the manga and probly will not im more of a animation guy but i would recommend it 8-9/10

For me this is a 10/10 no question
Closest Anime to the game Ryu Ga Gotoku/Yakuza
Tokyo Revengers instantly became one of my favorites, right now it's nr4 on my top10 list
My favorite game/series is Ryu Ga Gotoku/Yakuza

Yakuza and Tokyo Revengers have a lot in common,great cast of characters both protagonist and antagonist,i like it when i see an antagonist character and i can't stand him , cliffhangers , action the emotion, strong bonding between characters

The opening song by Official Hige Dandism-Cry Baby fits very well with Tokyo Revengers , the Mc Hanagaki, Takemichi is a Cry Baby , he's not ... a tough guy he's someone that is afraid and has to overcome a lot in order to try and save his friends.

A highly underrated gem the story has great character development for all the characters. The way everything connects is just beautiful . The voice actors also have done a great job of getting into the characters natures mitsuya and draken being one of my favorite characters in the show up until this point . The art is not godly or in any ways out of this world but the simple art style helps create a relatable environment around the characters and makes the widely popular and recognizable. Great Job done by all the artists and the creators on this modern day masterpiece which while does ... not make it the beat anime of all time maybe but certainly lives up to and beyond a watchers expectations.

Overall a solid (9/10) watch anytime hoping the story just get's better from this point on.

The opening song has so much oomph, using drums, and strong vocals it really drives a strong feeling, of envy, longing, or revenge, really. The ending on the other hand has such beautiful use of rests, and bass instead of drums, along with mezzo-forte female vocals, it creates a sense of accomplishment and finality. In both songs, the lyrics were evident, made sense, and fit the theme perfectly, and accompanied the backtrack well as well. The use of sextuplets and swing-in fills in the opening was wonderful, and changed the mood of the song in split seconds. In the ending, you could feel the tension ... in the air every single damn bass note. The rests and gaps in music were perfectly timed as well.

The show was ok too

Honestly, I'm not sure if I can describe Tokyo Revengers properly in this review, but I will try. I just review it according to my own taste and what I feel about this show.
(When I don't like an anime, I won't even bother reviewing it.)

First, the animation quality. It's not the best indeed, you can check it yourself. The whole animation is 8 for me, but 9.5 for the character design. It is very unique ... from hairstyles, eyes, and tattoos! I love it a lot!

Secondly, the characters. As I said, I really like each of the character designs, from the MC to side ... characters. For the personality of the character, honestly I prefer a lot the side characters than the MC. But hey! This MC is doing job according to his role! :v (You might be annoyed with MC sometimes, "He is too weak, slow, ..." whatever, but for me that's his appeal. If you just want a perfect MC, quickly leave this anime and go to another anime.)

I really can't choose my favorite character here, almost everyone is good (really good for me) especially when this show's entered the 2nd cour! New characters continue to appear. Don't forget about the antagonists in this show. I really want to kill them! Hahaha XD

The third, the story plot. For some people who just watch this for 1-2 episodes, maybe they will immediately conclude if the plot is very cliche, such a boring time travel story with a mission to save a girl. That sounds unattractive, right? I understand, but the longer you watch this, you will be impressed with the plot and you'll find that is not as simple as you think. I give 9 for the plot twist!

I don't know what else to review here. Overall, I love the concept. Time travel is combined with gang life among teenagers. It sounds fresh for me (maybe because I'm too bored with overpowered (miraculous) characters in an anime :v). I'm personally impressed with all forms of struggle, humour, friendship and loyalty in this anime. This show is very potential to be better in every episode. Lasty, the censored version of this anime is really annoying. I recommend you to watch the uncensored version so you can really feel the show!

That's it~ ^^

All I have to say is it's peak.

Great characters and character design great art good story great emotion, good sound, it has everything. The MC is able to correct the mistake that he had made many of years ago to make everything right. The design of the characters is very relatable as some of the game members have really nice outfits that honestly add a layer of enjoyment. After watching episode one I was sceptical thinking that it might be boring. But as I watched on I enjoyed the show so much, I started off with a 7 then giving it an 8 then ... a 9 but now, I realize how good this is. It's a gem hidden in dirt, getting better and better every episode, I'm very excited to see what this show has in store for the future.

this fucking anime got me on my fucking toes like this was some really good plot writing so out MC time travels to save his girlfriend and his friend I'm too lazy to even write a fucking review cause i wanna watch the next Tokyo Revengers Season 2 like this anime is what i have been looking for also our MC is a crybaby but he's strong in his own way. like you people give it 5 episodes or may fall for it in 1 minutes truth be told it took me frecking 5 episodes to get hooked because i didn't know the plot i ... didn't even read up on it i just went string ahead to watch the anime and ohh my god when the plots were revealed well shit there are a bunch of scheming bastard that isn't worth being human so far that I see in the gang. i know my review is shit right now like just watch 5 ep u will understand like don't listen to the one that say "not recommend" if you like action and plot this anime have both.

Fights, Fights and Fights!! I love it!

This show is so good. Everything that it involves, be it gangs, characters, plot, storyline, concept of time leap, fighting scenes, the soundtracks and the never giving up attitude of the weak MC, all of them is put into perfection.

Seeing the main character, Takemichi, can be frustrating because he always gets beaten up by the other gang members and this is pretty unique for an MC but he never gives up, such is his resolve. But for me he is great and gives you something unexpected every time.

This series is so good that it seems that every episode is ... just of 5-6 minutes.
Splendid show, makes you an addict.
