As a manga reader, it was just so good :(
I'm really excited to see how it's going to continue, and it has a chance to be better than the manga.
Just can't wait for next week, even though I know what comes next.

Homie broke one of the biggest time travel rule, to not tell anyone about the future, and succeeded. Fair play to the lad.

REALLY wasn't expecting this!! Killer OST, unique designs, and a far more sensitive protagonist than I expected from a show about gangs. I absolutely love the gimmick of this show and it's going up there on my "need to watch" weeklies. Hats off.

Yup, looks like this anime is my nice surprise of this season.
What a great first episode. A mix of delinquent, romance and comedy genre.

That was a very solid opening. I liked all the characters and the plot is very interesting. Takemichi looked quite young as an adult despite having a bad life. I also like that we get some delinquent anime as well. Last one I saw was Ahiru no Sora and I kind of craved more since I watched that.

I've already got a couple of theories. (I've not read nor know anything about the manga)

1. The person who pushed Takemichi in the first place might be himself.

2. One of his friends is responsible for the death of Tachibana in the present

A pretty good start to a great series. Hoping that LIDEN keeps this quality throughout all the episodes.

Heh, one of the best manga of Weekly Shonen Magazine, and we're finally here with the ever-promising 2-cour adaptation.
Is this really a 2 cour? That will make me very excited if it is.

its a nice watch but the art style felt mediocre and the OP or the ED? was just meh..
the plot seems interesting and since it has so much hype.. i have some what not high but expectations that i will be satisfied..
Naoto looks like a good support imo..

Not gonna lie, I was expecting it to start better given all the hype around it, but I’m optimistic.

The premise of leaping from the present to the past and changing things for the better has a lot of potential.

I assume the main character will learn to not be dumbass loser as the series progresses. Idk how he has forgotten so much about his middle school years and his girlfriend that was apparantly the love of his life, but maybe that will be explained.

I don’t like how the art for the characters, but that’s LIDENFILMS for ya.

I don't know how Naoto managed to save him, the train was like 1 meter away from him.
but aside from that, I really enjoyed the episode also got some Tanya the evil vibes from his "death".

Ignore me then. It's just that on 9anime it is called episode 0 so I'd thought I'd bring it up
Lol is the same to me i thought that episode 0 was introduction of the series but it's was just a 23mins of teaser that's waste my time i guest but worth it spoiler to people who did read manga.

A good episode that that has made me dejected on how shit and reserved my highschool life is currently, especially with not gf which the MC has. This ep is a clear reminder that you should protect your loved ones, so that you won't feel guilty later on if something happens to them. Animation, music, Va, premise is to my liking and I look forward to seeing what actions the MC takes to acquire his goal of saving his gf.

Character design-wise this one feels that have more flavor than any other anime of this season.

Was a cool episode. But im curious the time travel mechanic, because if im right, the power is acquired by life threatening means, like Persona 3, that they shoot themselves.

Loved it. Good start, I love the premise of the story about time leap. The story is also interesting to follow, maybe like Erased? The animations also look good and the ED is cool too. Okay, this is a great first episode.

This episode was okay, but whole time travel mechanic is going to be very confusing going forward. I usually stay away from shows that deal with time travel because the story can get out of control. Luckily, the time travel was permanent as the brief moment in time allowed Takemichi to see Hinata again and because he told her little brother that he was going to die, his life was saved by the same person in the present. I'm not sure how Naoto was able to save him when Takemichi was on the tracks. Maybe he got to him before he was pushed of the platform. Despite all that, Hinata still ended up being murdered so how is Takemichi going to help him this time?

The pv looked really ugly but the animation/visuals feel much nicer and cleaner in the actual episode.

Time travel concept can be hit or miss so hopefully it won't shoot itself

Naoto was dead in the timeline that Takemichi was hit by a train. So likely altering the past had some sort of impact in that event that Takemichi couldn't recall due to him still being transient between the time travel and the original timeline.

I'm not a manga reader but I've heard how good the manga is, so I'm expecting great things from this adaptation. Since we don't know how many episodes Tokyo Revengers will have, I'm looking forward to have a long adaptation, with 24 episodes or so.

This first episode feels kinda weak, really, but for sure It's going to get better.

The fake is of far greater value. In its deliberate attempt to be real, it's more real than the real thing.

wow i knew i would enjoy this show because of the trailer at the Crunchyroll awards

but i was not expecting that ERASED like twist of flashing back to change the present

and looks like takemichi is gonna keep going back because that's where the gang fights are gonna be

That's the reason i was gonna start this show because of the fighting but it looks like its gonna be more intricate which is a huge plus

love the character designs right off the bat too. It's giving me fire force vibes

Manga reader here!

The manga started have really good, but it started to drag out during the 120th chapter and now it continues being endless.

It gets more boring and the stuff gets more of the same.

But the first 100 chapters are really fire, and the anime will probably adapt the first 60-70 chapters where we'll see baji's greatness aka the greatest character of the series.

Surprisingly enjoyed it a lot.

Now, obviously, it could derail really badly because time travel stories do mess up most of the times but its a solid first episode!

Episode "0" and episode one are identical. I always found the delinquent/gang culture stuff in anime to be really interesting given I'm not Japanese. So many shows have these elements (Yu Yu, Kill la Kill, JJBA) and I only really identify them by their pompadours (or other crazy hair styles), the crazy way they dress, their sailors mouths and their toughness. Ive always loved characters like Okuyasu and Knuckle for their big hearts and larger then life personalities. I hope this show can get me to understand the middle, high and real Japanese gangster culture much better then I do now. Animation looks really good. Sharp, nice lighting effects. Characters are also looking good. And the concept of traveling back to middle school is so interesting (partially because that's self insert for me that I'd want to change shit if I could) The only thing that's a bit BS is the MC not remembering his family or parents and not prioritizing them over a "middle school GF" which isn't even considered a real relationship to most ppl. Anyone know how long this show is gonna be?

The manji is on their uniform and they vocally say "manji", it just doesn't show the symbol in the title, obviously to avoid hate from uneducated people.

Really liking where this is going. I haven’t watched Erased but I’ve heard the way it ends isn’t great, but this show seems right up my alley (being a shonen fan and all lmao), and I’m hoping it ends well, being a time travel story and all. Animation is also fairly solid as well. Also man, that opening slaps! It’s so cool to see they got Official HIGE DANdism for the song, since the vocalist likes the manga and they’re really popular in Japan. Based on the song it seems like the ending next week is gonna slap too, so I’m looking forward to that too. And I’ve heard some really good things from manga readers, so overall I think this is going to be a really good ride.

Well this was a pleasant surprise. When I saw the overview of the anime, being a kid who goes back in time to save his girlfriend I thought that, oh well it will probably be like every other "save the girl" type of scenario. I was wrong. The plot just within the first episode sets the scene of what we should be expecting and its SOOO much better. I loved the fact that the brother remembered the promise and kept it all the way into the future, becoming a agent within the government. I cant wait for next weeks episode and I am very impressed with it so far. (not a manga reader so I have no clue what this story is going to lead to or what it was really suppose to be when starting the anime.)

Can’t say this first episode was all that attention grabbing or started off with a bang per say, but it’s somewhat caught my interest. Although I have to say that the whole time traveling concept and trying to save the girl type of ordeal isn’t that original of an idea. Hoping for a surprise next week that’ll prove me wrong.

Huh, I was definitely surprised to see him back in the future since I was expecting the time travel to be a one time thing but it's an interesting twist I guess. The girlfriend is cute.

I was honestly going to skip this show until a few days ago when I read the synopsis and it actually got me excited. Now that I've seen the first episode I can say that I really liked it, pretty solid start.
