Review of Tokyo Revengers

"Illogical , Stupid and fucking JoJo posing" Let me announce to anyone who is reading this review that this show is mere overhyped for no fucking reason , it is plain bad from plot to character development for many reasons that I am about to explain . = STORY PROGRESSION = A massive drawback that exists in Tokyo Revenger's story progression is the fact that there is a HUGE plot hole that makes time travelling in this anime significantly hideous . First and foremost , creating a time travelling concept with such poor execution , is a great shame in front ofpast anime shows that were great and actual masterpieces such as Steins Gate or even Re Life ( I strongly recommend them to anyone out there ) . Our MP has the ability to somehow with only a handshake to travel 12 years ago where fate can be changed for good . The thing is that by doing so , his present self remains alive and interacts with people differently ( same thing applies all the way around ) . No one in this fucking show seems to take any hints that present or past Takemitchy (mp) acts differently making the audience very skeptical about how in the actual reality that concept works . Other than that , the plot is very bad not only because it's damn generic but because other factors impact the overall enjoyment of it , please let me tell you about them by continuing to the character part . For the story , it is a dreadful 2 \ 10 .

= CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT =

Let me introduce you to one of the biggest , and I mean BIGGEST , cry babies of all time , our main protagonist named Takemitchy . To start things with , that mf has no character development in the entire series and is getting beaten to death in every goddamn episode because of , hear me out on this , he is MASSIVELY STUPID . Whoever thinks that a shounen protagonist is brave and bad-ass because he surpasses his limits to get what he wants with no avail in the end , but heyyy he tried to become better so ? NO NO NO NO NO fucking NOPE , Takemitchy just wants to get fucking penalized to death in order to change his fate with plain cretinism and lots of fucking crying , I am sorry but these things do not work out . Last but not least , he behaves as if he was a 6 year old while he is 26 and gets fucking crashed by every 15 yo middle schooler .

WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD

To understand how bad his character is overall , in the middle of the series ep 12 he manages to make things work out temporarily by saving Draken from his own death . After travelling back to the present , Takemitchy finally spares some quality time with his own GF by having in mind that fate has changed and that she will not get killed because of Draken and Mikey's past fight , in other words he let his guard down because he sucks . Remember that she is the reason he went back in time in the first place . And what he does is just UNACCEPTABLE , I CANNOT OMIT SUCH A FUCKERY . WHY LEAVING HER ALONE WHILE HAVING A DATE MAKES YOU THING THAT IT'S A GOOD IDEA , please stop being such an idiot for fuck shake , can you not be somewhat cautious about her being killed again ??? You are 26 goddamit act like IT . And yeah guess what , she gets killed because he got uncomfortable and left her alone in the middle of the night to go to the fucking bathroom , I just can't do this anymore .

END OF SPOILERS

The only good character that I can relate to is really Draken himself . He is quite realistic about things and helps Mikey to become more of a restrained person towards really challenging situations . I believe that he is the only character in the entire series that deserves to be called human , even Mikey has his flaws who plays an important role in Tokyo Revengers . The characters of the gangs were pretty average and bad overall , only the founders of Tokyo Manji had some development , the others were just " I wanna punch I do not have a life to live , plz end my suffering " . Lastly , Hina ( Tak's ex GF ) is the least shown character and I do not fucking know why they decided to give her so little screen time , she is supposed to play a big role but anyways , she is OK if I had to choose a word , she isn't the worst character and deserves some praise for one or two scenes that had a nice touch . Overall , the characters are a disappointing 4 \ 10 , for Tak is 0 \ 10 .

PLOT ARMOR IS A THING

I would like to write an extra paragraph that involves Mikey and the plot armor that is way TRANSPARENT in the series . Firstly , many characters have incredible powers not because they ate All Might's hair , but just because they are THAT strong for no fucking reason . Making Mikey extremely powerful in order to withstand fucking One For All blows , creates a very unrealistic feeling and makes everyone wonder where the hell did he get that strong ??? Is it genetics ??? What in the hell is it ? I wish they would show us more BG about certain things .

= ART =

The only thing that I have to say about art is that it reminds me of a show that I would watch in the mid 2000's , the series takes place in 2005 so they had to match the vibe ??? Nah JK , it's just poor 3 \ 10 .

= SOUND =

The sound is really the only thing that stands out in Tokyo Revengers . The opening and the ending song were great bangers , the 2nd ED was a little disappointing and the fact that we had the same OP for 24 episodes was a little boring but , no it wasn't bad at all . Lastly , the soundtrack was amazing , I will not forget these crazy emotional guitar riffs . Overall it's an impressive 9 \ 10

= OVERALL =

Tokyo Revengers is a show that deserves better than that . I would prefer the concept to not revolve around children riding great bikes and look stupidly unrealistic . If only they approached things from a much more mature perespective , things may have worked out better . The setting of the city with no police made everything way worse . Lastly , plot armor for some characters made a very negative impact , the fact that the " they cannot die just yet because plot progression " is wayyyy bad management . I recommend this anime just for the music , that's all .
