The first season of Tokyo Revengers, produced by LIDENFILMS, has arrived on Crunchyroll, complete with both English dub and subtitle options. This 24-episode run adapts the initial arcs of Ken Wakui's popular manga, following Takemichi Hanagaki as he's sent back in time to prevent the murder of his ex-girlfriend.
Takemichi, a man in his late twenties who feels his life has amounted to nothing, discovers he can travel twelve years into the past. His goal: infiltrate the Tokyo Manji Gang, the very organization responsible for his girlfriend's death, and alter fate. The series blends delinquent action with a compelling time-travel premise, exploring themes of regret, friendship, and the consequences of altering the past.
With a MyAnimeList score of 7.82 from over 776,000 voters, Tokyo Revengers resonated with audiences for its unique blend of high-stakes gang warfare and emotional character arcs. LIDENFILMS animated the series, bringing Wakui's gritty world to life with dynamic fight sequences and a strong focus on character development.
This first season covers Takemichi's initial forays into the past, establishing the core cast of characters and the dangerous hierarchy of the Toman gang. It sets the stage for subsequent seasons, including the Tokyo Revengers: Christmas Showdown arc, which continues the narrative and further escalates the stakes for Takemichi and his newfound allies.
