Tokyo Revenger Season 1: Breakdown
Season 1 of Tokyo Revengers was no less than a complete roller coaster ride. Liden Films animated the series. It is a relatively new studio that also produced series like Yamada Kun and the Seven Witched and Woodpecker Detective’s Office. When it comes to the animation of Tokyo Revengers, Liden Films has done a pretty impressive job. A lot of fight scenes were satisfactory. However, if I had to point out, the only bothersome part of the entire anime was its bright tone which I felt could be darker to fit the anime’s theme.
Despite this, any manga reader would argue that Liden Films has animated the manga quite well and executed the story with precision. The first season concluded with the first three arcs from the manga. Within the 24 episodes, we saw Hanagaki grow from a scared little middle schooler to someone more responsible and brave enough to do whatever it takes to save Hinata. He takes control over his life and protects his friends from the dark future that resides ahead of them.
Tokyo Revengers Season 1.
Koichi Hatsumi (Ao No Exorcist, Dororo) directed the anime’s first season as Hiroaki Tsutsumi (Orange, Dr. Stone) composed its music. Keiko Ōta drafted the character designs. A chibi version based on the anime was released in April 2021. It featured cute versions of the characters in their daily lives. Now that season 1 has almost ended, fans are waiting for an announcement from Liden Films about Tokyo Revengers season 2.
Season 1 Plot :
Initially, Hanagaki is seen in his apartment, a loner who has no friends and has spent his life running from his bullies and then from his responsibilities. When he is pushed in front of a train, he leaps back into time. He travels 12 years into the past, meets his middle school friends and his ex-girlfriend Hinata, who has died in the future. Hanagaki also meets with Naoto and asks the kid to save him in the future. But when Naoto actually saves him 12 years later, they realize that they must alter the past to save Hinata from dying. The two work together and decide to change certain events that led to Hinata’s accident. This leads them to the Tokyo Manji Gang. Determined to save Hinata, Hanagaki leaps back into time and decides to get closer to the two leaders of Toman, Draken, and Mikey.
Mikey takes a liking towards Hanagaki’s strong willpower and immediately gets close to him. As Hanagaki starts knowing him, he realizes that Mikey is far from being a bad person as they had previously perceived. So what changed Mikey? Hanagaki sets out to find an answer to this question.

Season 1: Ending
The 2nd Cour of the first season featured the Valhalla Arc, also known as the Bloody Halloween Arc. This arc was one of the most anticipated initial arcs. The second cour of the anime entirely devoted itself to this arc. Having finally found that Tetta Kisaki is the key that led to the dark future, Hanagaki decides to do everything in his power to keep Kisaki away from Touman and Mikey. He also comes across all the founding members of Touman. Despite his attempts, Kisaki joins the gang; however, Hanagaki is not the only one suspicious of him. Baji leaves Mikey to investigate Kisaki and joins Valhalla.
On the other hand, Kisaki plans on winning over Mikey and making him the leader of Valhalla as he leads the two groups to war. A deadly war awaits on 31 October 2005, which later came to be known as the Bloody Halloween.
On the day of the Bloody Halloween, Kazutora stabs Baji, thereby killing him. While being unable to save Baji, Takemichi is still able to alter the future by stopping Mikey from killing Kazutora. Baji entrusts Hanagaki to protect Mikey and Touman from Kisaki before he takes his last breaths. Now a formal member of Touman, Takemichi attends his first meeting. What stands ahead might just be his chance to save Hinata and his friends from their dark future.
