Tokyo Revengers: Season 1

1x07 Revive

  1. Mikey is a lil badass and I like him.
  2. Takemichi had me CRACKING up at the end of the episode. My boy was like, “YOU BUSTED ALL MY SHIT! IMMA BUST SOME ASS!” But we all know he’s not going to do one thing, other than save everyone with his bumbling fool mouth.

This show is VERY entertaining. I am endlessly fascinated with anime’s ability to make a story out of anything. It makes for a more compelling contrast to typical Western fare, which rules out stories simply because they want to appeal to a mean audience.

Anime for me is like an anathema to this... The strangest and most outlandish stories are made into gripping drama, laughs, tears, emotional growth... and it could be a show about ANYTHING.

At any rate, this has been an entertaining six episodes. The writing is good to keep me very much keen to see what happens next. These little punk boys are one of the best stories I’ve seen this year.

I want to see Takemichi’s rage crumble in the next episode, and still manage to keep his immediate goal from falling apart. I also like how every episode manages to advance to overall plot just a little bit more. I’m also amazed how much damn story they manage to fit into 20 odd minutes.

On with the story!
