I feel like Takemichi has to keep restating his objective because he can't remember due to the endless series of concussions he keeps on getting from his ass beatings lol.

An anime about adults who are short? No wonder Charlie was intrigued.

I like how Takemitchy is a character who is labeled as a cry baby by everyone, even himself, and the opening theme song is called "Cry Baby"

Takemitchy doesn't need to DPS when he's the tank of the crew.

Stealing bubblegum is a serious crime, Charlie.

Takemitchy's tears are enough to overflow the moist meter.

"The man that controls Mikey controls the world" - Sun Tzu

Haven't heard anyone talk about the fact Baji straight up undeniably uses instant transmission in the big junkyard battle. Man was climbing up that mountain of junk cars but then miraculously appears *behind* the 2 guys standing atop the mountain who were staring down at him talking about how they weren't gonna let their guard down

Tokyo revengers is a show where everyone has drip except the main character

His adult body looks lankier and younger than his actual young body. Bothered me alot. The fact he's 26 years old and is afraid of 15 year olds is downright funny

Takemitchy hasn't learned to fight well even in the manga, but the dude's gotten a whole lot more badass

I know that the fact that they are middle schoolers really throws off people who arent familliar with life in the streets of tokyo during the 80s, and 90s but long story short it really do be like that. Its called Bokuzoku. its now labeled as a pseudo yakuza gang(and its practically dead), since at its height 30% of all yakuza recruits came from Bokuzoku. Think the middle school and highschool version of Hells angels. Theres a great documentary on them by vice back when it didnt suck. The author was a member of Bokuzoku as a kid, in a gang called black emperor. most of Tomans design came from them. If anything the series kinda downplays how brutal these kids were in the 90s, even in middle school. You literally couldnt walk outside alone or unarmed if you were bokuzoku, because if another gang catched you they would kidnap you. it happened to the brother of the captain of a gang called spectre. they kidnapped him, tied his leg to a motorcicle and they dragged him until he died. kids. they were actually doing things like that. sometimes real live is more unbelievable than fiction. Edit: its not 100% confirmed ken waiku the mangaka, was part of Black emperor, theres some evidence but no defitive proof, so take it with a grain of salt

Never seen a canonical title as accurate as "crybaby hero" for our protagonist.

I just like how his whole purpose of going back in time is to save his ex and the whole show she’s just an afterthought

The reason you might see still images during fights could be because you were watching the censored version.

The crying isn't my issue with the shower, I think it's the fact that takemichy knows what to do/prevent but it almost seems like he forgets until the last minute when he has like 5 seconds to change the outcome. Now I will say the episode where he has memories from a chain of events he didn't live through could be kinda why. But it's just like DUDE just stay by the one guy darn it

charlie’s criticism about takemichi constantly getting pummeled is so true especially in the manga

I'm shocked he didn't talk about the opening or ending, they are both certified bangers

critical liked the show because all the characters are just as tall as he is

Come here to Tokyo and see the real Tokyo Revengers. Japan is waiting for Penguinz0 to fly over 😊

"It feels like they're adults who are really short" Oh so it's basically about Charlie

I’ve heard the author of tokyo revengers was in a gang too when he was young. Perhaps that’s why other than the time travel, everything else seems genuine.

honorable mention to the opening, really makes the show even greater

The time traveling’s like Ocarina of Time where when he does travel it’s a set period of time and the adult time line is much darker. The time leaps were always the most exciting parts of the show for me but the overall plot and nasty cliffhangers kept me constantly engaged.

BRO I WAS LITERALLY JUST THINKING TO MYSELF "WHAT IF CRITIKAL DID A MOIST METER ON TOKYO REVENGERS" DAMN U JUST MADE MY DAY

I’ve genuinely wanted to know if this show is worth it so here I am

Charlie: "The main villain is interesting and well fleshed out" Tenjiku Arc Climax: -_-

7:25 thats the censored version of the anime

It’s funny how he mentions the MC crying all the time because the op song is literally called Crybaby lol

This was a rollercoaster of emotions man, the way these episodes had me smiling goofily to balling my eyes out and literally getting so hyped up about literal kids beating each other up was insane. Such a good watch. S2 is gonna be even better. The streets are gonna love this one fosho PS: Baji and Chifuyu best boys

honestly, this is one of the very few shows that got me to read the manga. and ohhh boy, it only gets better from here, I'd say every single character is improved, and we also get to see so many others shine as well!

The whole "cry baby" aspect of Takemitchy is his strongest character trait, imo. He isn't a badass protagonist, he's a weak man filled with self-doubt after being beaten to shit by Kiyomasa. Which is why he's so spineless as an adult. So when he goes back in time and realizes he has a chance to grow, he does just that, spending the first 15 or so episodes slowly growing and being less of a bitch boy. Until he becomes someone Toman can actually rely on. And his nature to cry so much is actually something good. Everyone he's surrounded by is a hardened delinquent who don't give much thoughts to emotions. That's why Takemitchy is so vital to Toman, as much as Mikey and Drakken.

The fact that Charlie is surprised they're middle schoolers yet built like characters from The Outsiders shows that this is his first glance into delinquents in anime

tokyo revengers is my favorite spring season anime

I finished catching up on the manga yesterday, I'm glad you made this video because the IT GETS EVEN BETTER

manga is so good and definitely recommend whoever sees this to read it

When you spoke about the still shots of fights and them just having sound effects, you may be speaking about the censored version of the anime. I had seen a few episodes that were censored and noticed that it occurred quite often.

Yessssss, I've been waiting for this one! ✊

i haven't watched u since 2018 and u grew ur hair a lot it was fun finding u in my recommended :)

Been waiting for this one. Once I finished the anime, I binged the manga and Takemichi is now one of my favorite protagonists.

let’s not forget how goated the opening is

Now that season 2 is out i’d love to hear your opinion on it

Perfectly explained!! Couldn't have said it better 👌👌

The manga after the anime is even more of a rollercoaster

I've waited for this Moist Meter. Tokyo Revengers is an anime of savage characters

The characters look so good!

This was one of my favorite animes to ever come out this year, it was so amazing. The opening, the characters, the action, the suspense. Its such a great show, and if you haven't watched it yet you really should.

Who just skips the whole video and just to watch the meter

Never have I agreed more with a statement than when he talked about Takemicchy especially about the "i need to save everyone" then a minor inconvenience happen and he's like "shit I can't do anything" and then he cries again but then gets a second wind because he remembered shit. But hey, he's still a good character

Tokyo revengers has middle schoolers in it cause it's real. Back in the day the biker gangs did have middle schoolers

I love this video, you just said everything that I thought about this anime and about Takemithchi

Man, he’s gonna be disappointed when Kisaki’s character motivation is revealed lol.

Most of his complaints get better in the next arc lol And his “budget” problem isn’t actually because of the budget it’s because of the censorship of the manji symbol on their back and if you watch the original Japanese version those scenes are animated

i kinda like how takemichi is a crybaby because he actually feels realistic. we all know a lot of people would act the same way if they were just randomly thrown into that lifestyle. and takemichi's "sensitivity" brings out things in the characters that we wouldn't expect to see because takemichi is such a caring and genuine friend to them. and [spoiler warning] in the recent manga chapters takemichi really stepped up and even beat the shit out of kisaki before his ugly ass got ran over 💀. despite having a gun held to his head as well, takemichi didn't back down and still survived.

This show is The Butterfly Effect meets The Outsiders 😂 I just binged it and it’s amazing how invested you get and how it leaves you in suspense, even tho throughout the show I was like WHERE ARE THEIR PARENTS 🤣🤣

Fun fact, the creator of Tokyo Revengers was a gang member before being a manga artist

I tried liking this anime but I couldn't. Forced myself to watch all 24 episodes and still nothing. It doesn't motivate me to go and read the manga. Kinda disappointed because I see a lot of hype and the sales of the manga are insane. Maybe I'll try reading the manga but not right now.

Everyone-"Takemichi cries too much" Me- After reading chp 224 and seeing that my man has suffered so much that he doesn't even cry anymore he's just lost it at this point 😭😭

Mangaka, Ken Wakui revealed surprising information about himself about how he came up with creating a Tokyo revenger's manga as he said he was a former member of a gang at past himself and wanted to create a series showing how the gangsters were in his era. Thus, everything that you see in Tokyo revengers manga/ anime is somehow close to how gangsters in japan work.

Most "sound only" fight scenes happen because of the censorship, as the Toman uniform has buddhist swastikas, and they were censored when Tokyo Revengers came to the West.

takemichi is 27 but when he goes back In time he acts like a kid I would have thought he would show some maturity or act more adult like

wow thanks for the review ! will add to my list !

Ive never seen Charlie display so much emotion and passion for a topic.

gotta disagree with you here mr charlie from the hunger games mockingjay part 1

Fun fact: the opening song is called crybaby

I just binged the whole show today only for this to come out. Good timing, greater show

8/10 show. Hope a second season comes out next year. :)

it’s gets better and better the farther you go

it's not about budget it's about the studio. The anime is made by studio lindensfilm who did berserk 2016

i watched the first 2 episodes and i had absaloutly no idea what was going on and i stopped but then i watched it again i read the manga and the anime and its absaloutly fantastic

I didnt mind takemichi being a punching bad, as he is more meant to be the inspiring to people around him, you see how he grows as person by standing and getting beat, his life at ep.1 was he got there by running away from his problems, he never learns to fight but at least now shows care and tries(which in real life will get you killed in no time, but its good to see in fiction)

Yeaah, I'm probably not gonna watch this one, the whole middle schoolers angle is extremely off-putting

I’m still watching because the plot intrigues me but good god the pacing and character writing is so awful. Sometimes literally nothing has happened or the characters just go over things we already know and I check the time and we’re 15 minutes into an episode.

Hope you are bringing that baller fumetsu no anata e Review (to your eternity) that just ended. Couldn't help myself and went to the manga and sheeeeet season 2 will be even better!

I love that he shittalks Takemichi after he praised the EXACT same character aka Subaru in Re:Zero lmao

The best part is that even the side character's have absolute drip

1:11 so basically Charlie?

The live action movie is coming out next month at the Busan intl film festival. Cant wait!!

I feel like at some point of the story he will go back to the starting point and fix everything with 0 deaths and all like clean run

Though Takemitchy never wanted to be strong in the series, we’ve never really seen that. He just fights even though he’s weak.

Charlie: "I think Tokyo Revengers accomplishes in 24 episode which some shows fail to do in 5 seasons" MHA: 👁👄👁

I’ve heard a few of the arcs coming up do talk no jutsu Bc it kinda goes over serious topics about abuse later on. But the manga rn its on its final arc if I remember

You got word for word of what I think about this show it’s crazy

I just finished the last episode and my gawd… destiny does not like the MC. I wouldn’t be surprised if this series ends without a happy ending.

To save u guys some time for thinking Takemitchy will get better at fighting, he won't. But he finds his own thing that no one has in the series aside from his time traveling

such an accurate description

Anyone else caught up in the manga right now and hyped for the next chapter to come out

Some of the cut offs during action scenes or scenes with tokyo manji gang in general have to do with censoring their logo, not that they didn't skimp out on animating some amazing fight sequences, but thought i'd throw that in there as well

“There’s guns and bombs and they blast people’s heads off” did I miss something while watching the anime? Update: Just watched episode 24....

I think you’ve watched the censored version..

the reason why some scenes seem off, and i didn't know until i watched the last episode, is because it's censored. at least if you're watching on crunchyroll. they intentionally cut and focus more on some frames to hide the complete manji character (卍) on the gang's clothes for toman (that is shortened for tokyo manji), but it's a normal character in japanese. it was basically so people couldn't lose their shit about the manji being in the anime

*Now that intro was just beautiful*

Never thought he would watch this anime

Yea the ending of the season 1 gor me curious on the drive of the antagonist. Immediately read the manga right after finishing the anime. The story telling is amazing

I've been thinking about watching this and you've convinced me. I was hesitant at first bc I don't really like anything that has to do with time travel for the most part bc it gets messy and I'm generally more of an action anime kind of person, so I rarely watch stuff that is more plot heavy. I originally didn't care about the whole plot as it didn't seem too interesting to me, but if it's more of a character/story focused show that doesn't mess up the idea of time travel then I'll check it out.

"The main Villain is really fucking cool" Manga readers sweating right now

Reading the Tokyo revengers manga is still one of the best experiences I've ever had, as someone who has a short attention span, it has been able to keep me engrossed in its story from the beginning up until the latest chapters. Highly recommend it to everyone

tokyo revengers has easily become one of my favourite series, I admit there are some clichés and takemichi irritated me a lot during the anime BUT as someone who immediately read the manga after the anime, IT'S SO GOOD and takemichi's development is immaculate. I agree takemichi's lack of learning to fight constantly annoyed me in the anime, ESPECIALLY as a fan of series like Lookism and Viral Hit, in which the main characters continuously self-improve and go from weak to strong. but at the same time without spoiling anything, I think takemichi's parallel to shinichiro characteristically is such a strong point and as I read the manga, I personally grew to appreciate him more and more. also, to anime onlys, let me just say if you liked the plot to S1 it'll only get better from here on out!

If theres one thing takemitchy probably doesn’t need is bone training, ong as a manga reader im convinced his bones are made of steel

I literally binged 100 chapters after the anime ended. I'm surprised at how you didnt mentioned that the story has some insanely nasty clifhangers left and right.
