Review of Tokyo Revengers

(Contains some spoilers, BE CAREFUL!) Disappointing. That is the perfect word to describe what I feel about this anime. First of all, the premise is kinda interesting but the execution is...not good. Takemitchy, a 26 years old man discovers that his love interest of the time when he was a teenager, died because of clash of two gangs. After an event he gains the opportunity to go back 12 years in time and now has to follow a plan step by step to prevent the death happening on the actual present of his life. Do you think that he will try to do his best and make good choices, thathe will outsmart his opponents with some strategies or that I don't know, be at least useful in any imaginable way, right?
Well, prepare to know now what he does.

He cries. He panics. He overthink everything.
He is almost useless every single time that he is on screen.
I'm not saying that he can't be emotional or weak, because those things can make a great protagonist if done in the right way, like for example, Subaru of Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu.
Subaru is not strong, powerful, influential, threatning or any thing like that.
But he is determined and does whatever is necessary to achieve his goals, even if takes time, effort and/or sacrifice himself in the process to reach what he wants to do at that certain time.

Takemitchy, at the end of the day, doesn't seem to learn or grow at all.
He is an adult in his teenager's body of the past, but he has the mentality of a grow-up man, or at least, should have, you know?
But he makes bad choices or doesn't even think properly before anything.
Some example is when Kisaki is about to enter the Toman's gang, baby boy (that is one of the few names I give to him), see that and what he will do?
Suddenly run on that direction and punch that dude on the fucking face!!!!
What he was thinking? Only him knows what happens on the future and the fact that Kisaki is bad news, a real threat but instead of just act that he is on board with the enemy being close now or trying to be pacient and make decisions that will lead him to get to know more about the guy, he just lose his mind. He is like kid Naruto in a way that when got pissed by someone, went instantly agaisnt the enemy, running like a idiot, not thinking.
But Naruto at the very least, had self confidence, determination and the will to change his life. Takemitchy just...don't have many qualities.
Another moment that he is 100% useless is at the climax of Bloody Halloween arc. Baji is about to die because he is stabbed by Kazutora while Mikey's screwed because he's hurt and has to face many guys that went to take him down. What baby blonde dude does?
Run on his direction? Try to make a distraction with the idea of making time to help Mikey to escape? Look for a weapon on the floor and fight?
Throw something on the enemy?

Nothing. He stares at his friends, crying and thinking:
"OMG, this is bad.
That guy is going to die.
What can I do? I'm useless.
If I could make something..."

JUST DON'T STAND THERE LOOKING LIKE A ROCK, you dumbfuck.
Jesus Christ man, it's infuriating. This guy is unlikeable most of the time.
Not many good things can be said about him.
Some moments he does something but almost 90% of the situations he's the incapable of doing anything. He doesn't even try.

About the other characters, few of them are quite interesting, like Draken, he's one of the biggest reasons to watch this show.
The guy is nice and chill, and of course is strong, has the guts to stand and fight, he is loyal, he is understanding, has a good background.
The scenes that he is the focus I always find myself curious to know more about him. Good character. Mikey is another one that may be boring on the surface but actually has a complex personality. Doesn't show much of what he thinks or feels, but when he does is genuine. Strong, respectful, has great leadership, is a guy that I would follow with no problem.
Hinata is a character that is supposed to be very important on the story and know what? She doesn't appear frequently. She is here is there sometimes, but many times, a completely ghost. Seems like the MC is trying to save the life of a total stranger, even that is somebody that he used to love and date on the past, they two has nearly 0 scenes together.
Before he found out that she died they had being apart for a long time.
And when he goes back in the past to go on the mission to save her life, he doesn't stay much time with her. Why he would like to know her better or stay with his older lover to be closer when he can stay away from her?
After all, connect and establish a trustful relationship with the person he will try to save the life is not important.
It seems that is not worth his time

The characters are okay, in fact, I don't care much about them.

Some things that needs to be addressed:

- The time travel concept is barely explored in any imaginable way and feels like it's only a plot devide to works conveniently in favor of the protagonist.
- Parents, relatives, teachers, police officers, any person that could represent a responsible adult on the story doesn't exist at all.
Only Hinata's mom that appeared one time and that's it.
- The fighting of this shounen is just nonsense. A adult that goes down instantly with a high kick of a teenager, another one that manages to make a dude fly over a long distance, a child who is able to take several blows of iron bar on the head and stand up; etc...So many BS things that are overly exagerrated.

Art/Animation:
The art design is good. I really like it.
The author made a good job creating different and stylish visuals.
The animation are okay, could be better. Some scenes are not clean.

I give a 6 out of 10 here.

Sound 8/10:
I think it's well done.
The opening music is a banger, no doubt about that.
The ending song is really enjoyable too.
The OST's were fitting on the scenes, they are atmospheric.

Enjoyment:
I'm disappointed as I said here earlier.
I expected more. Maybe something more exciting.
The first few episodes are pretty good, but the quality start to drop quickly while you watch week after week.
The final episode had a awful ending, I was like:
"That's it? This is the end of the final episode of the 1st season? Lame."

6 on a scale of 1 to 10.

Overall 5/10:
Truth be told, this is a mediocre series
It's fine, like, watchable and okay at best, being generous, but it's not necessarily good because lacks many things:
A intelligent and well constructed plot, more characters with minimum development, good dialogues, believable situations, dinamic figths and the most important thing: A LIKEABLE AND RELATABLE MC that you can genuinely root for, because this guy is a shame.
I'm sorry, but is a fact.

One of the most overrated anime of the entire year.
Doesn't deserve all the praise it gets, but it is what it is.
I wouldn't recommend it because this wasn't worth my time.
So please, only watch if want to see brainless figths, plot holes, shit MC, a and a overall inconsistent story.
