Why You Should Watch Tokyo Revengers?

A show doesn’t become popular without any reason, some factors make it special and unique from others.

Tokyo Revengers is just like that, which is making it one of the favourite series of many anime viewers. The fanbase is growing enormously and people who are unaware of this series are amazed at its huge success.

“Why is it such a successful show and what’s the reason behind its popularity?” Everyone is asking these questions and this article is going to answer all your questions regarding Tokyo Revengers.

So, let’s dig deeper into the topic to get the most out of it and look at the factors responsible for its popularity.

1. Based On Time Travel

Sounds unrealistic but anime fans tend to watch shows that are solely based on the concept of time travel.

As the anime industry is flooded with action, adventure, and romance genres so such type of shows excites them because it brings up something new and refreshing with it.

And, Tokyo Revengers is doing the same thing this time. After a long 2-3 months of action-packed Jujutsu Kaisen and Attack On Titan fans searching out for something new and Tokyo Revengers is the only thing they need right now.

Steins;Gate, Future Diary, Erased are some of the well-known anime based on time travel and are praised by everyone.

Similar to them, Tokyo Revengers also follows this concept and is literally doing very good in attracting the audience towards this series.

So, it will not disappoint you if you are really into anime like this one.

2. A Simpler Version Of Sci-fi

When it comes to sci-fi anime then understanding its theme and storyline becomes challenging for anybody and it’s true, you can’t deny this fact.

Whether you talk about Parasyte, or Code Geass, or Made In Abyss, or Steins;Gate, all are such a great piece of work. Still, they are not for everyone because of their complicated plot and twists. These shows demand an intellectual and knowledgeable audience.

But, Tokyo Revengers is not like that. Its storyline is so simple that even a newbie can watch it. Despite being a sci-fi anime, it delivers its message to the audience in a very effective and impactful way.

In just 3 episodes it has shown that it can be one of the best sci-fi anime that can be watched by any type of age group.

Keeping it straight forward and simple, that’s what Tokyo Revengers is about and you will be delighted to see such a wonderful show that put forward the elements of science and fiction together.

3. Inspiring Story Of A Loser

The protagonist of the show is the main attraction of the show and it is a fact. The first thing that anyone looks out for in a new series is its main character.

And if there is an inspiring journey behind that character then fans don’t intend to miss this chance.

Takemichi Hanagaki, the main protagonist of Tokyo Revengers, starts his journey as a pathetic loser who is disrespected by everyone. He lives a miserable life being traumatized by his landlords every day.

When he comes back in time, to his middle school days, the same thing happens to him being beaten and bullied by his superiors.

But, after realising what he has to do and what he has to earn, he begins to change himself and makes himself tougher and tougher every day.

He looks kinda stupid (well most main protagonist looks the same) but his journey from being a loser to become the No.1 in Japan’s top biker gang, is a treat to watch and a source of motivation as well.

Because once a loser is always “not a loser” and Takemichi is the perfect example of it.

4. Cool Looking Characters

The first thing that caught my attention towards this series was its dashing and charismatic looking characters. After a long time, such type of characters is picturised on the screen.

The character sketches gives the vibes of 80s-90s Japan when biker gangs were in existence. Baggy pants, classic hairstyles, tattoos, and vintage bikes all look so cool that falling in love with this series is obvious.

After the introduction of Sano Manjiro & Ken Ryuguji in the anime, the show is looking more interesting as they add value to the main cast and storyline.

The stylish characters in this series give a solid reason to watch anime once again.
