The Best Time-Travel Anime Stars The Worst Character, Stream Without Netflix

So if Tokyo Revengers stars one of the biggest losers in anime, why is it such a massive success? I started watching it because of the hook of the time-loop concept, as I’m a sucker for those stories, and going back to fix your own mistakes in middle school with the knowledge of your 30ish-year-old self, is the stuff dreams are made of. I kept watching it for everyone else.

In a few episodes, Mikey, the leader of the Tokyo Manjin Gang in the past, is introduced. He’s smart, capable, seemingly loyal to his friends, and everything you’d want in an anime protagonist. That’s when it becomes clear that Tokyo Revengers isn’t about Takemichi; it really is a story about everyone that surrounds him and how he can impact their lives if he decides to, you know, do something with his life.
