What if you are an esper? Well, some people would like doing some cool stuff or try to become a hero or “joining the dark side”. Tokyo ESP is about a teenage girl who become an esper and later on become stronger in order to protect people and becoming a hero. When I heard the manga will be animated, I am so freaking happy since I’m a fan of its manga. But, the anime adaption seems fast pace adaptation, and doesn’t follow up its original story although the chronology of time is same, so you would want to read the manga (absolutely, do it!!) from the start because the story has a potential to become much more awesome.

The synopsis follows up Rinka, a teenage girl who lives a normal life until she has a power to become an esper. After that, she meets a boy named Azuma and together fights the evil that come disturbing Tokyo. The story seem plain with good versus evil, but as story progress which is focus about Rinka having train to become stronger in each fight she has lost and Azuma with its background story.

The animation seems ok in my opinion, although there is some fight scene which looks like awkward. But, other than that, it was good with the background building, power display animation, and the teleportation scene was awesome to me.

Original soundtrack in this anime was okay, like when they change the music to make the fight scene more impact or when the sad scenes more immerse. Other than that, it was average.

The conclusion, it was good but I do not recommend for those who have read the manga first, because the anime will crush the hype from the manga. For those who don’t read the manga, I do recommend to watch since it will give you a little bit insight about the story, and I still want to recommend reading the manga after watching the anime. For that, I give 8/10, although it was not good enough to satisfy me, it was still good anime adaption.
