Tokyo Revengers , overrated or not ?

           Today we are going to discuss one of the most heated topic of this year in the anime community . Now without wasting any time lets get on the topic , whether the action-thriller anime that was released on 11th April of this year called Tokyo Revengers is overrated or not ?

Global anime community is divided into two factions regarding this anime . These two factions includes those who thinks this anime is overrated on the one side and those who doesn't on the other side . First of all I want you guys to know that I don't consider myself an expert in this field , however it has been years of me watching anime which has led me to gain some experience which is crucial to counter these kind of debates . 

Instead of following the majority like a sheep and being fixated on that first let's look after the good aspects and the bad aspects of this anime show and decide it for ourselves :

Good aspects :

1. Animation quality : 

           First thing a anime show needs to be a hit is a decent animation quality . Despite of the good story line , without decent animation quality a anime show cannot gain popularity . One of the good aspect of the Tokyo Revengers is that it has a very decent animation quality . Studio Warner Bros. Japan has done a commendable job with this show's animation . So, there isn't any complain about the animation quality and I think it has major role in making this anime popular with its over the top action scenes .

2. Twists and Surprises :

          Elements of surprise plays a major role in an anime to keep the audience hooked up in its story line .Without the twists and surprises a anime show with the action genre sooner or later might face the consequences with decreasing audience . Saying this , Tokyo Revengers has done a great job by creating a tendency to make audience hyped by adding twists and surprises along its story line . So , this nature of Tokyo Revengers can be accepted as a major good aspect for making it popular in global anime community .

3. An Overpowered Character :

         I want you guys to put your hands up if you are a fan of anime with op characters and I am sure that 90 out of 100 will raise their hands . Common guys we all know that everybody loves anime with op characters .

This show also offers an op character with his invincible kick as a commander chief of Toman Gang ; Manjiro Sano aka Mikey . Mikey has a extraordinary strength when it comes to fighting and up to now in the whole anime series no one is able to match his strength , so it will not be wrong to assume that he is an overpowered character and it is one of the major perk of the show .

4. Characters :

      Characters are the base of a anime show and one of the major hands in making a anime show popular in the anime community or it will not be wrong to assume that they are the building blocks of a anime . In these many years of watching anime I have stumbled anime characters which shines more than the show itself .

And this show has done pretty job with its characters and have created a strong base for itself with its cool characters . Every character this show offers are unique and kind of cool in their own way . I just love this show's characters either good or evil , they have their own back story and preferences . Also every character excluding some have a cool look with their cool personality which makes the characters even more charismatic . Tokyo Revengers characters have received many male and even more female fans all over the world , so its characters are one of the major good aspect of this show .

Now guys it's time for bad aspects :

Bad aspects :

1. Main character :

         As we all know main character is the gem of any show either it's a movie or anime . Without a leading main character a show cannot be defined . And everybody love a mc who grows adequately with the passage 

of time . A main character is the stronghold of a show who might have to single handedly maintain the hype of the show if it requires . But sadly the mc of this anime is annoying as hell . A main character not being able to do anything despite of getting many chances was painful and so irritating to watch and I want you guys to note that here I am not taking reference from manga I am only taking reference from anime series . You guys might not agree with me but I firmly believe that this show's main character was a downside for the show itself .

2. Emotionless dialogues :

      To be honest with you guys I have many time shed tears watching anime connecting with the feelings conveyed by emotional dialogues . Such dialogues are one of the leading characteristics of an anime .

Saying this , I couldn't connect to the emotional dialogues of this anime . For example that dying speech of Baji couldn't get a single drop of tear in my eyes . Guys let me be bold for a sec ; I just don't know what shit was Baji spitting out while dying , I wasn't getting emotional at all . Not only Baji dying but there were many such moments is this anime which were supposed to be emotional but weren't . They were just forcing emotions which is not the way it works .

3. MC's enigmatic power :

        The power to leap one's consciousness through time when shaking hands with certain someone is featured in this anime . And I am not trying to say that the power itself is a downside of this anime . That unique power is

amazing in itself . What I am trying to convey is there should've been some hints about what and how of this strange power that has been in the main focus of the entire show but till now in the anime series nothing has been revealed about that . I think it is unfair for the viewer . At least some minor hint would've been much much better to activate the instinct of viewers to predict and keep watching the show . And once again I am only taking about anime series . So, this imperfection can be count as a bad aspect of the show .

4. Rationality and Logics :

        Reasons for what is going on the show must be logical and rational to keep the viewers engaged but also it depends upon what types of viewer . Viewer such as myself always search for a satisfying logics for what's going on and if I couldn't be satisfied a notion of show being dumb embeds in my subconscious mind and I can't help it . And I assume most of the viewers in global anime community are such type . Now let's come to why such factor is downside for this show , here again comes that unique power which is not defined in any way . Like why the future self of the main character doesn't have any memories of the past , and yeah yeah I know there was a moment when mc got some flashes of the past but it makes matters more confusing and illogical . Not only this but many other things such as Baji dying was irrational , it was just forced . Hence , this anime fails in this factor .

Conclusion :

    These above are the emotions that I wanted to let out for a long time and today I finally did it . You guys might not agree with me . They are just based on my preferences and I am not meaning to force these notions on you .

    Now let's come to the main point , is it overrated ? or not ? 

 There is no doubt that this is a good show . In spite of all the drawbacks I thoroughly enjoyed watching the show . The whole credit for a good show being overrated goes to its toxic fans . These toxic fans do nothing except exaggerating and spreading hate . They should be ashamed of themselves for doing such things to a piece of art . But it is out of control for us because there are all types of people around the world . 

Why does it matter if it is overrated or not as long as you enjoy the show . All that matters is entertainment . So, I like to suggest you guys to not involve in such futile debates . Just enjoy the show and if you don't then there are many other shows that you might according to your preferences .
