Tokyo Revengers
Elma_fer said: Absolutely. The premise of the story seems like it'd fit a more mature genre than a traditional Shonen.What I mean is displayed perfectly in episode 10. When takemitchi goes "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" and calls out his name extremely loud for no reason. Or when he stays still staring for 35 seconds after every important and unimportant occasion. Or the usual shounen MC dilemma when they have a 3 mental breakdowns every episode. Do you guys think the story would be much more enjoyable without tropes? I see no value with any of them other than unnecessarily prolonging the story to further milk its sales. What do you guys think? Would it be better of without them? |

| Flashback power go brrrr |
| Yes, would be a lot better if it was a Seinen instead of Shounen but oh well. |
 |
| "Shounen" is not a Genre. |
 |
| I dont mind some of em , but the mid-crisis jokes are reeeaallly out of place. And him acting silly in serious moments is a double edged sword . Some times I make the mc pretty unique n'other tiles its just pure unadulterated cringe 😒. |

| It would be better without them. If they remove certain shounen tropes and jokes I would probably think of this as a 9/10 anime, but for now its 8/10.\ Still very good but it could be much better if it just removed the cheesy jokes. |
| I gave up on character of the week since it takes too much thinking. I'll just change my forum pfp to whoever I want every week lol. |
| yeah i think it'd be better if it was more seinen leaning but oh well |
| ngl it's perfect exactly the way it is stop complaining yo this shit you're complaining about is part of the majority of action-based anime and shounen in general, i def don't think getting rid of those would suddenly make it so much better man |

| To some people, if you disagree with OP that is perfect, but don't just say "then why you watching". How can we make a discussion if you are just telling "not to watch it" because they dislike an aspect of it? I personally would like it being more seinen, but that doesn't mean that I don'tenjoy it the way it's right now. That said, while it's an episiode I want to like because of what it means, Those things make me unable to take the situation seriously. |

Nothing important. Keep scrolling. |
| Most stupid thing in this anime is Japanese obsession with ranking everything. Do their teen gangs 15 years ago had their own uniforms and military-like ranks? |

| @bastek66 They actually completely did. These animes are all following a slightly nostalgic thing similar to what happens in a lot of US pop culture in regards to Greasers, Punks, and Ravers. Look up Sukeban and Bousouzoku. They were very coordinated delinquent gangs that totally had uniforms and strict hierarchy. They rebelled, but they rebelled in the most Japanese way possible, through conformity. Here's just one example of what the 80's and 90s looked like in Japan.  So, no that isn't the problem with this anime. This trope is just an homage to a different time; one where a lot of the authors of this stuff were little kids during. The worst thing is that a grown man has absolutely no emotional control, is absolutely useless at everything, and is somehow subservient to a bunch of 8-11th graders, while showing absolutely no growth or reason for being the Protagonist. Why should I care about this guy? Has he actually done anything of meaning up to this point? Its just been a series of pathetic bungles which have changed things, but not necessarily for the better. Honestly, the story would have been more interesting if they followed the characters that actually do something and ended the show/ manga by circling back to the girl's death - showing how the series of decisions these people made lead them down the wrong path and resulted in corruption and tragedy. That's a compelling story, not: watch this loser cry and screw everything up while never learning from his actions or using any of the 10+ years of experience and knowledge he has for anything at all. |
