Tokyo Revengers

Hello everyone, today I want to review Tokyo Revengers. This is a cool anime that I have recently watched. The story is about time travel and the consequences of one's choices. I would highly recommend this anime to anyone who is looking for an engaging and emotional anime experience. Well, even if you're not a fan of anime, Tokyo Revengers has action, drama, and romance, which means it has something for everyone.

In the trailer of Season 1 of Tokyo Revengers, it is seen that our protagonist is Takemichi Hanagaki, a 26-year-old guy. He was about to die, but somehow he found himself back in the past. Another guy approaches him in the present time to save his sister, who dies in the past. That is none other than the ex-girlfriend of Takemichi. Her name is Hina, and Takemichi travels through time to save her. This is quite an interesting story; when it's about time travel, that's my favorite genre to watch. I would watch any kind of anime or movies that are related to time travel because I am really fond of it.

He attempts many times to change the events to save Hinata. As her death is linked to many things, in order to prevent the future from repeating, he must save many other people's lives. Meanwhile, Takemichi forms a deep bond with the people in the gang he is in and learns the importance of loyalty and courage. Takemichi's character growth begins as he battles against fate to protect those he loves. Even though he fails many times, he never wants to give up until his last breath.

Review

In my opinion, this anime is a perfect blend of time travel, drama, and action because it kept me, as a viewer, engaged and wanting to keep watching. This uniqueness sets the anime apart for exclusive attention and is also filled with emotional depth. The animation quality is not the best, but it is not bad at all; it is good, as there are vibrant colors, and the action sequences look real, which increases the intensity of the fights. Each character design is unique, and they have their own personal stories. It is as if each character fills up each other's void. Takemichi's journey from a cowardly individual to a courageous hero is a tough one. He learns the most important lessons throughout his journey, which include friendship, loyalty, and being accountable for his actions.

The supporting characters are the best and very well-developed; they play an important part in the story. Tokyo Revengers Season 1 is a must-watch for anime fans, as Takemichi's journey will inspire many. One thing I didn't like is that Takemichi is physically weak and Mikey is the strongest. I felt that they should have made Takemichi the strongest, as he is the protagonist, but I hope to see him improve his fighting skills in the next seasons. If not, then I would be very annoyed because if the protagonist is a weak person, then there's no fun in watching. I want to see him improve his skills.
