christmas except instead of presents we get "sons of anarchy" and an mc getting his ass kicked for the 47th f*cking time
✨ THE GOOD (CHRISTMAS IS F*CKING CANCELLED):
we're back to waht we do best ,character drama wrapped in violent bullsh*t
the christmas setting gives the conflict some actual atmosphere with a super warming familly vibes to your face
💀 THE “TAKIMICHI PLEASE USE YOUR F*CKING BRAIN” PROBLEM:
"our boy" or i'll take that one back "your boy"(this one ain't mine) is still running on 3% strategy ,97% stubbornness
but i'll give him credit when sh*t hits the fan ,he keeps getting back up
motherf*cker maybe useless but apparently getting beaten unconscious is his superpower
🔥 THE BIGGEST STRENGTH:
the conflict finally gives the story some proper weight and the situation actu…

Christmas With the Delinquents 6.5
Minor spoilers only
It's 2017 and the gang is just a bunch of criminals with no ethics whatsoever. The Tokyo Manji Gang / Toman is an embarrassment, and in this timeline, Takemichi is partially responsible. Mikey turned bad, and the gang turned bad with him. Now Mikey is killing off the old gang members like any megalomaniacal dictator would.
The season is a tough one. It isn't much fun, and it revolves around trying to prevent Mikey from turning into a monster, as well as saving lives: Mikey and Kisaki Tetta really know how to rack up a body count.
Hanemiya Kazutora finds Takemichi and fills him in, stressing that they have to set things right.
Then Naoto arrests him. Apparently, in this timeline, he's a high level Toman member. He sees video of hi…

When did TR become fast and furious? That it mentions family.
After two seasons, MC is still a whiny walking punching bag (and I don't think that will change by the end). He has returned to the past so many times that everyone would expect him to become something more than just that punching bag, but nothing like that is happening and he remains the same, only his words are strong.
All his power lies in how much he lets himself be beaten and how much he cries, because crying is the strongest weapon, and when he is on the verge of death, only then does he motivate his friends to help him, and thus everyone becomes stronger than before and defeats the enemy (typical shonen, on the verge of death, everyone is suddenly the strongest). And that bothers me, because apart from getting beaten up…

Not nearly as memorable as the first season. I think it did a lot of things right but ultimately fell short of season 1 in almost every way. Got quite tiring to watch at times honestly but its fine. Its not horrible by any means but the animation the story its all mostly just meh. not much else to say. Its okay. Its not a masterpiece but its not trash either.
The story felt recycled from the first season, but was still entertaining enough to make me keep watching and not quit out. The characters were okay, it just got stale because we kept seeing flashbacks and backstory for characters every other episode and it took away from momentum and ultimately gave me more character info but made the show feel like a drag.
Nothing more to say. All across the board its just.. Fine.

Tokyo Revengers: Seiya Kessen-hen
Despite a solid concept, the first season was already a tragedy, so I'm not surprised that the second season continues at a qualitatively mediocre level. The only exception is that I find this season more likable. It became more of a generic shounen, but at least it had some sort of goal, no matter how stupid it was.
The highlight of this season was the protagonist because he really started to develop and not just talk about it all the time. That didn't make this season any better, but at least it made it a bit more bearable. The rest of the characters were still a disorganized mess and the story continued to go in circles. The antagonist who I relatively enjoyed, has somehow lost all his brain cells this season and has stopped thinking. If this hadn't h…

This is the second season, and along with the first seasons, i feel the same way. THIS IS A MUST WATCH!
They rounded off first season with an exciting ending, questions and actions which makes us grab on to season 2 right away. The story continues, still interesting, still good and sometimes sad, still giving us questions and more good explanation of each characters background story to understand why and how things happen.
and like last time, i repeat myself:
"I personally am not into this genre, im not into drama, not into punks and fighting and gangs and yakuza-stuff. But this story kept me going. It drags you in along with the time travels, all the curious questions being asked which u so desperately want to have an answer to. And i like how they shows a little backstory of all the c…

Plot:
I believe that the mangaka of Tokyo Revengers has a wonderful and strong ability to twist the plot and direct it into places you never thought of, BUT, he has this weakness of never untwisting that twist in a good way, meaning, When you give me a surprising turn in the events (in a good way of course) you will have to explain how this unexpected turn happened and why it happened and if you fail to explain it in a good, smooth, and logical way, no matter how good this twist is it will become a bad twist, and that's Ken Wakui's writing fragility in my opinion where he never fails to surprise me but almost always fails to elucidate these twists, But I said almost impossible because he was capable of clarifying the biggest twist/mystery which was what happens to his body when he goes bac…

The first season of Tokyo Revengers was a real smash hit as in a shallow mainstream anime once again- the worst anime to come around in the last few years for me. When you have a show that you find yourself thinking about at other times during the day, you know you've got a bad one on your hands. That really has fallen apart with season two, unfortunately.
There were two key points that made season one what it was: the characters (with a notable exception we'll get on to shortly) and the storyline. TR opts for the 'large cast' approach which, when not done right, can often end up with a chaotic character list that is hard to follow. To its credit, it handled that well and every character was well fleshed out and felt personable. With one exception...
Takemichi.
He really is what made To…

This is incredibly disappointing! It honestly frustrates me because Season 1 was an absolutely solid anime! One that I would absolutely recommend, but this season basically feels like filler! We continue our development from the end of the previous season, and most of the beats have a similar rhythm. The problem is that this season only features a single thread. The thread is perfectly fine, but it's NOT enough to carry the entire season. If this had been a movie or even 6 episodes long, I would have probably rated it an 8! However, because they decided to stretch it across 13 episodes everything ended up so incredibly awkward!
There's a bit of development, a bunch of nothing, a bunch of hanging around, a bit of development, repeat.
The fight scene is basically the same, as each character…

"Tokyo Revengers: Seiya Kessen-hen" continues the story of Takemichi Hanagaki, a failed adult who, one day, watches a news program about the death of Hinata Tachibana, an ex-girlfriend from his high school days for whom she still had feelings. Some time later, while at a train station, Takemichi is pushed on the railway line and, when he wakes up, he is in his bed, but in the past, when he was going to school and still dating Hinata. The story continues with him trying to prevent the death of his beloved, while trying to unravel the mysteries behind this unusual event, introducing new rival gangs, many conflicts and losses along the way. Tokyo Revengers: Seiya Kessen-hen managed to improve a little (very little) the protagonist, who now strategically faces his enemies. After he unravels a…

(NO SPOILERS) Should you watch season 2? Absolutely, especially if you survived through the depths of hell "Tokyo Revengers" season 1 put everyone through emotionally. The negativity for this season is without a doubt overly exaggerated and i highly urge you to give this season a shot.
Season 2 none spoiler short summary:
Season 2 carries the same unique art style and gripping plot that Season 1 had. We follow Takemichi to once again save Hinata but this time it FEELS different. It gives great pacing to both the new character development of Takemichi alongside the sad, bad, and ugly that Tokyo Revenger's is. We finally see a lot of progress in his time travel abilities, it no longer feels as though he hasn't done anything with his time in the past and he's finally taking more of a prepar…

So the first season was kind of good but i was completely annoyed by the main character, so now that the second season aired i was kind of unsure if i should try watching it, but i did and i got exactly what i expected, even more annoying protagonist ( he's seriously so badly written) and a story that's not exciting in any way, you know every time he gets back something different is messed up it's not a suprise anymore.
if they had given Takemitchi some kind of good character developement then i would say this is getting good, but that's not happening, so i think season 3 to X will have no surprises and will be the same mechanic over and over again

The second season of Tokyo Revengers was aired during the sparse season. However, there was no much fuss about the sequel and number of viewers plummeted. The first season came out at spring 2021, which was chock-full of highly anticipated sequels and hyped up new IPs, and was extremely popular not only in its own season, but in the year. The second season in turn lost steam despite being aired during the season, which was much weaker. It has the same problems, not trying to develop the original concept in addition to loosing the inertia of the hype of the first season.
The biggest complain about the previous season was the main character, and he remains the same in this season. His role narrows down to crying and getting beaten. He, for sure, suffers more than Subaru from Re:Zero, but it…

This was definitely a better season than the first one!! Im so glad that takemichi has someone to rely on in the past as well as the future. It was a great decision on takemichi's part to tell Chifuyu about his time travel abilities, if it was anyone else I don't think they would have believed him or at least thought he was sane. There was a lot less focus on mikey in the first half but that scene with him and takemichi was perfection. Its great how takemichi is now apart of Mikey's friend group, I don't think it would've been as pleasing if he wasn't a captain/ closer with the main group. Cant wait to see more!!

I always like to compare Tokyo Revengers as the shounen and simpler version of Steins:Gate. Both anime shared the theme of inevitability of future. The first season of TR was quite solid, and I enjoyed it a lot.
However, it’s sad to see this new Christmas arc got executed so badly. For only 13 episodes, the anime was dragged out and did not give me the satisfaction that I wanted. The start was slow, but it promised potentials with a menacing villain. However, when it mattered the most, the anime abandoned all logic, and even seemed to make audiences look like a bunch of idiots. The showdown episode was unbearable to sit through with dialogues that flabbergasted me. The main villain got dwindled down into a joke after just one episode. Takemitchy randomly gained guardian angle power where…

Tokyo revengers second series was, unfortunately, a lot worse than the first series, which was very bad in the beginning, but turned around and was pretty good towards the end, in my opinion. As for this part in the manga, for me it was also quite worse then the other arcs but it was quite good to read. I hope the next series(if there is one) will be better, because the other arcs in the manga are a lot better too.
In the anime, Takemitchi is portrayed even more awkwardly than in the manga, which I thought wasn't even possible. He, unfortunately, spoils the anime the most for me. As for the art style, it's good and the background music is well chosen too

This 2nd season of Tokyo Revengers I think I liked something more than the 1st. Thinking about it coldly, perhaps it is not as good as what has hooked me, since I have done practically the entire week well, but what it does and counts, it does very well.
Chifuyu and Takemichi this season are amazing, although I noticed Drakken and Mikey a bit lacking in comparison.
It is also true that my expectations at the beginning increased a lot since the first chapters made me think "okay, this seems fatter than I thought" and although later how it is resolved and what happens is fat, perhaps it was not at the level of what I expected.
I really liked the Shiba family, honestly, and I would say that it is the best of the season.
It is a story that although it is cool and certainly crude in many as…

This should have been an 80 min. movie! As much as I loved the first season of "Tokyo Revengers", I can't help but think this one felt slow and boring half of the time. Only like 5 or 6 (at most) episodes felt relevant and moved the story and characters forward. Everything else was just circling around something about to happen that took too long to happen and when it did... it was kind of disappointing. If they took only the good things of the content and decided to aim towards a full length film (80 min. as previously said), it could have been AMAZING! Every episode in this season is almost the same: it starts slowly, it develops even slower and when something good is about to happen, it ends. Then, the next episode manages to make the potentially exciting thing too short and moves into…

Very good sequel season but such a pity it took so long for it to come out.
They kept everything the same which was a good decision, considering alot of good animes which just up and change the look and overall design of their animes end up doing worse but Tokyo revengers kept to their status quo but my main downside to this was the fact I couldn't remember for the life of me everything that happened in season one which was years ago. which I ended up having to watch a 45 min youtube recap video which was good but just doesn't do too much justice.
The arcs touched on in the season were good and with the same structure as the first season did well to keep me entertained, mostly with the black dragons arc which did well in its climax considering how many episodes it took to get there.

I mean, I wasn’t the biggest fan of this anime to begin with, but am I the only one who’s wondering what in the world happened with this season? Listen, my gripe with Tokyo Revengers has always been the same, and it’s no different with this season: restarting timelines, as a narrative mechanic, gets old real fast. I came into this season thinking it was time for something new to come out of this story, something with actual weight behind it that held my attention and didn’t simply get washed away and made irrelevant by the next timeline reiteration. I was not, as it turns out, granted that luxury. Instead, I couldn’t take anything seriously this season because I couldn’t count on it lasting for very long. Not only that, but Takemichi’s over-dramatic reactions to everything were exhausting.…
