Tokyo Revengers is a huge success for both manga and anime right now. This is my number 2 Most Anticipated Spring 2021 Anime and I didn't regret that. It has a very unique story that set a new standards in Shounen genre. With their overwhelming popularity right now it wouldn't be long until it join the list of the Top Shounen in history.
Even though it has a good reaction from the fans, I really think that Tokyo Revengers still has a flaws in its current season. I didn't read the manga yet to avoid spoilers but I do think that this anime still have a Good and Bad qualities. Don't worry because the bad Bad qualities still makes this anime even more interesting. Its just a matter of time until it develops and fixed for good. But for now here's what I think.
Good Qualities
Let's start on the good qualities. This is probably the main reason why it become so popular. In fact Tokyo Revengers didn't have a good start until 4th episode and further. But still it managed to take the heart of the fans in later episodes.
It has a unique story. I usually said it every article I made about Tokyo Revengers. Well it is True. You can't find other Shounen Anime with similar plot on Tokyo Revengers. This is probably why people even have to buy manga because they are not patience enough to wait for the anime. The manga sale is impressive for it become one of the Top 10 Most Sold manga within half of this year. So if you can't wait the weekly release of Anime, manga is the only answer for you.
It has Badass Characters. It is funny to think that people criticized the first few episodes of this anime because they don't like the animation but later they become a fan of Mikey and Draken. Not just two of them but most Division Commander of their Gang are actually so cool. Maybe if you ask the fans why they watch Tokyo Revengers. They will probably answer its all because of Mikey and Draken. Why not just make them the main characters (Lol).
They know how to Properly Align the Story. Time Travel stories is actually a very hard story because with just one wrong decision in storyline the whole story will also ruined. This is actually impressive for Tokyo Revengers because even though Takemichi are traveling through time back and fort, the story still didn't become confusing. In fact it even add dramatic feels to the story especially when they met the people they once knew in the future. So I'm actually impressed.
Bad Qualities
Now in bad qualities. I don't actually mind the flaws of this anime but still it keeps bothering me. Maybe they are fixed in the later chapters of manga. And since I'm not reading it I still don't know yet. I will just share my opinion.
Very Weak Main Character. I feel really attacked in this because I belong to those persons who hate OP main characters. And I still hates Weak MC? (Hahaha). I really want weak MC but not to point they just become punching bag. Takemichi is literally just a walking punching bag in this anime. His only power is Talk no Jutsu but he still sucks at that. At first I don't mind him very weak because I think it's okay that we didn't have OP MC. But the season will end soon and he still didn't improved. It becomes more and more annoying and I'm hoping that they will give him a buff soon. Just atleast makes him capable of defending himself.
Pathetic Main Character. Now the main character is not just weak but also pathetic. He is supposed to be an adult but why would he always cry at the front of his girlfriend. I don't know but when He is always together with Hina, I just feel so pathetic and cringe for him. When he keeps on apologizing and do a dogeza towards his enemy makes my blood boil. I don't actually hate him because he was made this way. Its just surprising that he can act like that even though he was supposed to be the main character..
It seem that all Bad Qualities in this anime belongs to the Main Character. Is it time to make Mikey the new MC? (Jk). I don't actually hate Takemichi but if he didn't change, the time will come that I may actually do. I still likes him because he act as a balancer for the bad attitude of Mikey and Draken. So it is not a bad thing for him to act so pure and good. But please try to atleast defend your self.
I like this anime. Its really good. Todays episode was good also.
