Summary:
Revisions is a sci-fi thriller with an excessively annoying main character, somewhat intriguing plot, and decent animation. The overall story is interesting, although the pacing is a challenge. There are many intriguing parts of the plot that seem to have been slapped together, and the ending feels extremely rushed. If you like plot-driven stories and don’t mind a main character with a hero complex, this may be a good fit for you; however, I would not recommend this to most people, as it lacks substance and is overall a low-quality story.
Story: 3/10
The plot could have been interesting, but the pacing ruins all the potential. Characters, especially the main character, go on absurd rants for ten minutes and then there’s action spontaneously. If the plot were woven together smooth…

First things first, this is a spoiler free review :)
This anime is kinda unique because it has no manga or source material at all. At first, the main lead can be annoying and cringy, because of him mentioning his destiny and mission to protect everyone. But as you watch more episodes you see the character development happens. He slowly becomes a likable MC that just grows on you. There are a good amounts of emotional scenes too, as well as action scenes I really liked. I was annoyed and thinking of dropping the anime at first, but decided to watch more and eventually I really enjoyed the anime. Really hoping they make a Season 2 for this anime :)

It was one of the first anime I saw.
I think the animation could improve. As for the script, I really liked it in the end. However, I think the beginning is a bit slow, and really the best part of it comes in the last chapters (where they made me really excited). It's a good script, but has it flaws. Maybe in the second part we'l see more development in this area.
The characters are interesting, however they could be developed further. They are endearing, but they do not stand out much or make you fall in love with them.
Without a doubt, I think the best thing about this anime is its latest chapters, which take a good turn, and a promising second part.

At the beginning, I really hated this series.
The 3D graphic and character movement looked so unnatural and the protagonist was so annoying.
The story was weird, the monsters ugly and I didn't like the behavior of the most characters.
The protagonist thinking he was better than everyone else and he aggressively was hard to endure, but on the other hand, this made a great room for character development.
Unfortunately, this happened way too late, and even if it made sense from a story point of view, but for everyone who might not like the protagonist, the first part of the Anime would be relatively horrible.
(The same thing with Milo by the way, just in a little bit less annoying form)
But episode after episode this Anime got better.
I started to like the characters, the story begun to beco…

A lot of people say that the main character is annoying because he has a hero complex. But in my opinion, that is the least annoying thing here.
First of all, all characters in this anime have an average IQ of 60. Something like this can often be seen in anime but in here it is just too much if you ask me. Next really annoying thing is, the character have unrealistic personalities and everything, from their emotions to reactions is over the top. It is just really forced. Also, those little scenes that will make you angry and wanting to beat up someone because you feel the injustice are also too obvious in here, but they are still on the usual(awful) level that is seen in poor anime and even in some better quality pieces.
The story is pretty mediocre, and the world-building is nonexistent…

I have a habit of completing an anime that I start. So I got this anime recommended by Netflix and it's cover was really appealing so I gave it a shot. Took me 4-5 days to complete it because this anime is complete shit and I wanted a break from episode to episode from this shit show.
I'll be straight to the point, I've never seen such a shit anime like this before.
1. Story - Well, story is nothing but they made it bit complicated because it has time travel in it. You will never know what's actually happening and where the series is trying to get to. Each episode doesn't really build up a story for rest of episodes but each episodes creates new plot holes and some of stuff doesn't even make sense because of characters. Each episode is rushed but it doesn't really matter because there is…

I'll make this extremely succinct: overall, the anime is interesting and a good way to pass time if you have nothing else to do (like I didn't). The story is decent, the construction of the characters could've been better, but, in the end, it's ok. Gai is plainly REAAAAALY annoying most of the anime and Daisuke is mildly annoying most of the anime (though they do redeem themselves in the final). The story could've been better structured and elaborated - as the characters could've been better thought (specially Gai and Daisuke); however, where it counts, the anime was really interesting and entertaining. The art of it was decent - although I do think the action scenes could've been improved: the animators just used waaay too much of CGI (and not in the good sense, such as Shingeki no Kyojin…

Whilst looking through Netflix I came upon this show and started watching it knowing absolutely nothing about it.
It probably would have been better if I'd continued knowing nothing. My life is certainly none the richer for having spent any time with this show.
Where to start?
Well I suppose the appearance of the show. It looks disconcertingly ugly. Every character moves like an NPC in a mid-2000s video game. The facial expressions are borderline uncanny valley territory. Everything just looks and feels off.
Then there's the dialogue. I've only watched this in dub, so maybe it's an issue with the dub, but I think it probably goes beyond that. At any rate, there's barely a line delivered that sounds like it came from the mouth of an actual human being. To describe the dialogue as clunky…

NOT ACTUALLY BAD
I think the main reason people give it a bad rating is because either the art is SUPER cgi or the MC can be a whiney bitch. But I honestly hated how it looked but I got used to it eventually, and the MC *minor spoiler* has great development. lowkey reminds me of how eren from attack on titan can be. If you can just manage those 2 things, you're in for a treat. this anime has a pretty cool concept and even if it isn't the deepest or original anime, it definitely has a good story to keep you interested. The pacing can be a bit wonky but not too bad. I honestly really enjoyed this even though I considered not watching it just because of the animation style. PLS watch it despite the bad animation style! I give the character an 8 because maybe they kept the mc an annoying brat…

I almost didn't watch this because of the reviews. I am so pleased that I did. It was thoroughly enjoyable. Binged the entire thing in one evening. Each episode seamlessly moved into the next. Was like watching a long movie.
The character development was good, the story was fun and the animation was great. The CGI weirded me out for the first several minutes but then I got used to it and actually started to like it.
Basically it shows me that I really need to try things myself and not base my decision to watch things on others opinions.

"Anime is filled with goody two shoes white knight virgin MC's why wont we get some flawed MC that isnt the complete embodiment of a nice guy?"
"Wow Daisuke is so annoying why wont he die already?"
Anime fans can never be pleased and this anime proves it.
Story: Time travel shenanigans, mutant time travelling aliens gonna give it to ya, hero complex, time travels, my special power is to be pedophile and HARV help us for the love of god.
Art: After episode 2 or 3 you are totally inmunized against the CGI in this anime.
I felt that the art was great and the characters looked good, i also apreciated the character design of most of the characters (except the revision sisters).
Sound: There are several instances in which you could imagine a evil guy laughing maniacally because anime, some…

Revisions is neither the worst anime ever made nor is it a groundbreaking masterpiece. This anime is worth watching for its dedication to creating a distinct artistic impression with a heartfelt message. It's interesting how low of a score it has on MAL given that many a worse anime has scored far better here. Some of the characters in the story have annoying character traits (that serve a purpose), the story is full of pseudo-science plot holes, and the production process itself uses CG animation that may alienate some viewers. If you can get past these largely superficial problems, digging deeper you may be rewarded by an interesting, if disjointed, experience.
The setup will seem familiar to most of you. Five high school friends share the role of protagonist, with a boy named Daisuke d…

Revisions is poorly an alright anime. Surprisingly the CG is not that bad, fights so-so; the plot ended up “”working”” as it was propitious; the characters development was a joke. Really. Like, really a joke.
I believe the ideal plot was not that bad, because the story has some interesting parts and twists, but the way it ended up appealing with instant cliches just didn’t work. You don’t buy the pitiful yet hopefully-gonna-change-for-good protagonist Daisuke as a miracle hero. He acts like a hysteric bitch for 10 episodes, then suddenly becomes the super caring and empathetic friend at the last 2 episodes. It’s ridiculous.
You can enjoy Revisions as an average anime. But expect shitty character development.

Can delusional protagonists ever serve an interesting purpose?
How much does absolute originality determine the merits of fiction?
Or why, indeed, would you want to give Revisions a chance?
In essence, I believe this series can be reasonably entertaining as the more or less straightforward sci-fi tale of five teenagers suddenly being transported into a barren future, where the entire population of Shibuya also needs to survive and adapt to these new conditions. Likewise, the show focuses on a fairly interesting thematic exploration about the concept of destiny within a context where time travel is possible. All of this is portrayed in a rather succinct manner without much room for filler or distractions. If you can manage to latch onto either of these main aspects, you might want to chec…

This anime was one of the worst things I have ever watched. The characters all act stupidly and have almost no redeeming qualities, the dialogue is forced and a slog to get through, the story is dumb, and there is almost no enjoyment to be had here.
The only saving grace that this anime has is a decent soundtrack and some cool fights.
If you're honestly going to put yourself through this garbage, at least do yourself a favor and skip literally EVERYTHING but the fight scenes; that's the only worth this thing has at all, and even those aren't THAT entertaining.
This was one of the biggest wastes of time I have ever spent, and may god have mercy on you if you decide to watch it.
I legitimately think that if you can watch this anime and think that it's good from the start to the end, yo…

If you're reading this before watching, you won't regret completing this series.
It is pretty interesting if you can get over (spoiler?) the MC's major case of chuunibyou. Whether you love him or hate him, the series is rewarding either way. I think that the story is really great and original. Not too hard to follow and keep track, although I wish there was more action in it. With the new CGI style that's slowly becoming frequent, the graphics is one of the best and smoothest that I've seen so far and I really would have liked to see more fights in such CGI fluidity. On another note, perhaps what would drive most people away is the MC, but I think he's displayed really well. Placing yourself in his shoes as you watch, it might be easier to understand why he acts the way he does. The other…

How to describe Revisions?
The MC personality is can be described as the simple "Hero complex". The trope is done quite frequently, commonly displayed in an antagonist, that which impedes the protagonist's progress through their own journey for their own ambitions. The twist with making the main character having this personality instead is interesting, but it cannot be called quality. A change in writing norm does not mean all originality is well written, rather, it indicates that the writer strives for something different. Whether it is good or bad is always subjective. But this is not. Through reading the opinions of others, I can gather that people legitimately enjoyed this anime, but their reviews were a basic defence against the universal panning it is receiving online and lacked dept…

I will start off with a summary of the show to explain why I like and dislike certain aspects.
This show starts out with quite an annoying MC at which most viewers agree to him being extremely annoying, maybe even the sole reason of dropping the show. But this character gets the biggest personal growth, which is a nice thing to see. He is cocky and extremely arrogant. A saddening combination.
Revisions, the title itself, is actually quite an enormous spoiler. The show involves multiple timelines where a new timeline will be predicted based on changes made in the past. A certain corporation has special agents ensuring the right changes are made, from which we know the agent Milo. A truly lovable and logical girl that simply is there to do her job.
The year 2007 (might be a couple of ye…

Here's a treat for SSSS.Gridman and Planet With fans. As for me, easily best of the 3.

Revisions is a story about this kid who was already during his childhood hinted he would be saving the world one day from 'something'. Just so happens to be, during the high school phase his life starts rolling towards his 'destiny' when bug-alien-robots come to his very school and start wrecking everything and killing students in brutal ways. Naturally, the original fortuneteller appears there, too, except she is not really 'she' because the story is mysterious this way. Her role is to show how the world can be saved by piloting these mecha thingies which she brings with her so that the kid -- for unknown and unspecified reason -- needs to start piloting as of right now without any…

I will make this quick, this is either a series you will love or you will hate.
The primary reason to hate it is cause of the animation which is a heavy use of cgi animation and not of the best quality or because the main lead is annoying little brat with a hero complex and it makes you want to just drop it right there.
Well if u ignore those two i think you might actually like this series, the story is simple, It focuses on the entire town of Shibuya being teleport-ed along with the population within it to a different time in the future and they struggle to survive in a different time period when the world is nothing but dystopia controlled by a group known as the revisions who seek to control the world and turn every last living being into like them a revison.
