Review of Tokyo Revengers
I don't even know why I started to watch this anime. I just remembered that it was on my watch list and decided to give it a go a few days ago. Story: 8/10. The story of Tokyo Revengers is pretty cool. Main character time travels to save those close to him. It's good, but the actual time travel part makes no sense to me. Especially later in the manga, it just becomes even more confusing. But besides that, I love the gang fighting. Tbh I like to imagine that they're older than middle school/high school age so the story seems more realistic. Like brono way Taiju is 17 he legit looks 20 something
Art: 8/10. I actually really love the animation. Mikey looks so badass, and I'm in love with his hair. The fight scenes are done really well, and everything feels nice. My favorite part is the character designs though. Most of the designs are unlike those I've seen in other anime. They're also really unique, and Kazutora's design (even though I hate him) is dope af. Everybody is just so cool-looking
Sound: 7/10. To be honest, the opening is only good during the beginning and end of it. The music in the show is fine, but doesn't really stand out like how music in other series did for me. The voice acting is really good though, and Hanma's voice actor was the best imo. He had an amazing voice.
Characters: 9/10. I literally enjoyed these characters so much. I went into the show thinking I would hate Mikey, but he's actually great. Everybody is so lovable, and even Kisaki is great because of how delicately he's written. Mitsuya and Hanma are my favorites. Hakkai is also up there. They're more developed in the manga, and are overall endearing and great characters. As for Takemitchy, I don't really get the hate. He's fine.
Enjoyment: 10/10. Now this is where Tokyo Revengers really shines. Call it a bad show all you want, but it's just so fun to watch. There's action and plot twists everywhere, and it kept me fully engaged. I binged it in just two days, and that's an accomplishment because recently anime hasn't been as engaging for me after watching Gintama lmao-
Overall, it was a fun watch. The cliffhanger at the end was just straight up disrespectful, and I ended up reading the manga to chapter 215. I stopped because honestly the last arc didn't interest me. Hell of a ride though. I'll probably watch season 2 whenever it airs.
