Tokyo Revengers
Today I'll be reviewing an anime called Tokyo Revengers. This anime is related to time travel. I love animes that include science fiction, drama, and action. It is an incredible combo that you will ever see. This anime caught my attention long ago back in 2021, but for some reason, I didn't watch it, though I don't remember why. After a long time, I felt like watching this anime. This anime has a different aura that made me watch it.
In the trailer, it is seen that our main protagonist is Takemichi. He somehow manages to time travel to change the past, and there are 24 episodes, so it won't take long to finish season 1. I really like it when animes have more than 12 episodes; I prefer it when they're longer. The trailer was interesting, so I thought of watching it as fast as I could.
In the beginning of the story, it is shown that our protagonist is Takemichi. He's leading a miserable life, and no one respects him; even the younger people don't take him seriously. One day, he was at the metro station on his way somewhere, and someone pushed him onto the tracks, and he was about to be hit by the train. Then he remembers that he was only loved when he had a girlfriend when he was younger; other than that, he doesn't remember any sweet memories while dying. But suddenly, we see that he is inside a metro train, and his friends are asking him to get off the train. He follows them, and on the way, he sees a mirror on the road and sees himself with a totally different appearance from what he was 12 years ago. Then he thinks of it as a dream, as he is living his past life. Furthermore, it is revealed that his girlfriend dies in the 12 years in the future, and he is eager to save her. For that, he must change the past in order to prevent that from happening again, even though he doesn't know if it will change the future or not. The story is not only about this, but there are more things that happen eventually.
Okay so the anime is not a romance anime but an action anime. It has a realistic story which is really common in real life. There are gangsters in real life too. The art style is also so good and the intro and outro song is nostalgic. It feels like I have heard this song before but I can not remember. The story is not centered with Takemichi only but the other characters are valued too. This is one of the best anime it has the dark reality, friendship with beautiful bond and love. This anime will give you motivation to beat up the bullies, I have not seen or heard anything like this anime. I was surprised that I could not find any official trailer of this anime on YouTube otherwise I could show a better one, anyway one thing I liked about this anime is that the time passes in the past also the same time passes in the future time, otherwise in other time travel series we would see that the time leaves no effect in the future time.
The main character is not over powered this vulnerability makes him relatable with the audience it allows the viewers to connect with the characters struggles personally. Well, I can guarantee everyone will definitely fall in love with the side characters, my favourites are Mikey, Baji, Mitsuya, and many more. Every character has their own personal stories that kept me watching throughout the anime series.
