Review of Tokyo Revengers

Finally, a breath of fresh air. Tokyo Revengers is the 2021 emblem of a well made production. Starting from the source: an amazing manga; then adding a perfect narrative technique, outstanding soundtracks and good animation, there we have a work of art. Of course, it doesn't lack mistakes, such as plot holes and some unlikely events; but we all know a show doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be perfect for us. And in Tokyo Revengers I found a good show, with a completely original story, a good character development and that feeling of attraction towards the plot and what comes next. In particular I appreciatethe protagonist's personality, describable as coward, lazy and whiny, which also means plausible and realistic. Then, when he understands he is the only one who can protect his loved ones, he unleashes a strong will power which will lead him to the right path. But while in other anime this changing determines also a change in personality, here he remains the same crybaby he was at the beginning, he doesn't magically find courage, he is simply pushed into situations for the sake of others; which is something I deeply respect: being true to one's self regardless of the events.

Apart from him, other characters can result a little less realistic (I was shocked when I realized they're all in middle school), but well developed on that line; but more than that I find them particular and amusing.

In conclusion, a show capable of standing out, as few others can.
