We've had two seasons of Takemichy thinking he's succeeded, only to go to the present and realize that he only made things worse. We've had two seasons of the audience not being explained the reasons why Takemichy and Naoto are the only people in the whole Tokyo Revengers universe who can affect time leaping. We've had two full seasons with largely the same events, just with different characters, different locations, and the same old goal.

So what's next? I feel like when Takemichy does save everyone, it won't be in a satisfying way because the writer takes liberties in making a solution even more impossible every time Takemichy comes back to the present. All whilst giving us no hints as to what he's doing wrong or what is happening in the past to make the present so unfortunate for the most part.

I still think it's a valid question to ask about the direction the show is going as an anime-only. 35 episodes in and nothing has changed in terms of the plot. I think the most worrying part is that after Takemichy goes into the present, the writer just thinks of the most emotional thing that can get a reaction out of the audience. I just think shock factor is not a sustainable way to write a series.

Part of the journey is in finding out what mistakes he’s made. This is the essence of the series as a mystery thriller. No story will last if you’re spoon-fed exposition. If this genre isn’t for you, I recommend you drop it.

But on the topic of what he’s doing… he says it practically every episode. He wants to successfully save Hina, Mikey, and the rest of the Tokyo Manji Gang. It’s really quite simple. New variables and obstacles get in his way, and he circumvents them to the best of his ability. That’s the plot.

As a manga reader I have my gripes with the story. It’s not without flaw (serious flaw), and it’s not groundbreaking whatsoever, but it is very exciting at times.
