A Popular Anime
Tokyo Revengers is an anime adaptation of the popular manga written by Ken Wakui. It tells the story of Hanagaki Takemichi, who finds himself twelve years in the past after narrowly escaping death from a subway accident. In order to prevent the death of the woman he loves, Takemichi must become involved in the world of gangs and fight against their enemies. The series has received high ratings on platforms like AlloCiné (4.1/5) and Rotten Tomatoes (76%). It is praised for its captivating storyline filled with action and drama. Some also consider it to be an excellent example of an “isekai” story, incorporating various themes throughout the plot. However, there are also critics who find the protagonist to be “useless and lacking growth,” often criticized for being overly emotional. Some even say that the story repeats itself unnecessarily. As a reminder, before the release of the third season, you can rewatch the first episodes on Disney+.
