Special features are only the clean opening and ending theme but for the most part, this anime series is so exciting and fun and because it’s a shorter mecha action-packed anime series, I highly recommend checking it out!

After being kidnapped as a child, Daisuke Dojima became obsessed with the words of the enigmatic woman who rescued him. Convinced that he is destined to protect his friends, he’s focused on that prediction to the point of alienating his classmates. Then the entire prefecture of Tokyo where he lives, Shibuya, is suddenly ripped through the fabric of time to an apocalyptic future where humanity is waging a desperate battle against the mysterious Revisions. Attacked by mechanical monsters, Daisuke and his friends are saved by Milo, the woman who rescued him before, who reveals that Daisuke and his classmates have the unique qualifications to pilot special mechas called String Puppets. Now the teenagers must become warriors, holding the line of battle while Milo’s organization struggles to find a way to restore Shibuya in time and finally defeat the REVISIONS!

From Shirogumi Inc. comes an anime TV series titled “revisions” directed by Taniguchi Goro.

The complete series is now currently available from Sentai Filmworks on Blu-ray!

The story begins with a group of children who were kidnapped by a man with a gun. He threatens to kill a crying young Dojima Daisuke, who is then rescue4d by a mysterious woman known as Milo.

Milo tells young Daisuke that in the future, he will save the world. Also giving messages to Daisuke’s friends.

Fastforward and the young children are now high school students and they have since drifted apart. Daisuke still remembers what Milo told him and all he has prepared for in his life is to be strong and a hero, to other’s chagrin because he has developed a hero complex and it became alienating or upsetting to his friends that they drifted apart.

Daisuke wants to fulfill the prophecy that Milo told him about but the others feel they were children and can’t possibly be true.

One day, his hometown of Shibuya, Tokyo is attacked by a mechanical monster from 300 years in the future and future Shibuya and current Shibuya merged (creating a “Shibuya Drift”) with many people being killed.

The mechanical monster known as a “Revision” has killed many students and while Daisuke tries to help save his friends, he feels what he trained for is not good enough to defeat this monster.

All of a sudden, AHRV agent Milo from 2388 comes and tries to protect the students. Daisuke recognizes Milo but she does not know who he is. But she came back to the past to gather heroes to pilot a “String Puppet” which Daisuke pilots and defeats the Revision.

But this was just one attack and there will be more from the Revisions and Daisuke and his friends learn that the must all learn how to control and pilot three of the String Puppets to fight the Revisions.

And with current Shibuya merged with 2388 Shibuya, these students maybe humanity’s last hope.

I absolutely enjoyed “Revisions” because it’s a straightforward action-mecha anime series that’s not long at all (12 episodes only). I love the twist and turns presented in the anime and while it could have benefited from an extra 12 episodes, writers managed to conclude the series to make everything comprehensive and storyline flowing smoothly.

Mecha action scenes are very cool but it’s the characters that will win you over. Each with their own faults and challenges and each on a journey on self-discovery despite their differences, in order to save humanity, even if it seems that there is no hope.

Animation is fantastic and series is vibrant on Blu-ray, both Japanese and Engliish dub are also fantastic and well-acted!

But what I enjoy about this series are the character interactions. Daisuke was a cry baby always in fear when he was younger, but the prophecy which Milo from the future told him as a child, stuck with him for years and he prepared himself for the day, as he wants to protect his friends and everyone else. But because of this brash perspective, other friends either feel bad for him and think he has become a nuisance.

Daisuke tries to plead with him of what Milo told them, but many years have passed and his friends have felt it to be a fake prophecy and nothing will happen to Japan. Until it happens!

But because of Daisuke’s strong-will of being a hero, he doesn’t listen to future Milo’s guidance and instructions and ends up causing problems leading to mass destruction, even his friends don’t feel bad for him.

So, it’s interesting to watch a series about a teenager who was prophesied to be a hero in the future but yet, no one likes him and think he’s crazy. But when it does happen, he still continues to alienate those around him.

Special features are only the clean opening and ending theme but for the most part, this anime series is so exciting and fun and because it’s a shorter mecha action-packed anime series.
