#REVISIONS MYANIMELIST MOVIE#

Character progression and plot is what drives Revisions rather than the mecha itself. Although Revisions is 'mecha', it really is only a method for the characters to express themselves and develop. Well, I've learned that's actually incorrect: I'm not a fan of anime that feature mecha at the forefront and use it as a device to progress the plot. I was apprehensive starting revisions because I'm not a fan of mecha anime. The opening done by The Oral Cigarettes is upbeat and driving while the ending is powerful and hopeful.

Many of the soundtracks match perfectly the actions and demeanor of certain characters. The orchestral pieces are incredibly fitting and emotional driving. The sound effects are what really gave me the 'movie experience' - everything is clear and crisp and sounds exactly how what I'm seeing on screen should.

It's so good, in fact, that I actually forgot it was CGI until I started writing this! The art itself (i.e. The animation, although CGI, is very good.

It's gripping, fluid, natural, and strong in every moment. The writing, in fact, is the STAR of the show. Right from the beginning, the story flows in a way where watching multiple episodes back to back will feel like watching a full-length film.

When I began watching Revisions, I felt like I was at a movie theater through how the story was presented. Their feelings and thoughts are clearly defined through their words and actions. Although the kidnapping 7 years prior took serious tolls on their friendship because of the person Daisuke became, they all must come together to save innocent people and the people they care about.Īlthough Daisuke is the 'protagonist', Revisions provides ample time for each of the 5 main characters to show how they progress both individually and as a group. This is certainly the case for Daisuke and his friends Keisuke, Marimari, Gai, and Gai's sister Lu. Immediately after being introduced to the main cast, I thought of Anohana: 5 childhood friends, seemingly inseparable, that were torn apart by a traumatic event, only to reunite many years later fighting for the same goal. This was not all bad: because he was the only one who believed in his 'fate', when the day did come, he alone was prepared for what was going to occur. Even becoming a social outcast did not change his beliefs no, if anything, he persisted even further. It is a tragedy when a traumatic event turns a normal person into a self-absorbed, egotistical monster - which is what he became, driving everyone away from him with his delusions of becoming a hero and considering himself superior to them.

The woman had told him right after saving him that there would be a time where disaster would once again strike and only he alone would be able to protect his friends and the people he loved. For Daisuke Dojima, this was being kidnapped as a child in primary school and having the lives of his family and friends threatened unless he did what his captors told him.ĭaisuke was ultimately rescued with the help of his 4 friends and a mysterious woman who seemingly appeared from nowhere however, the damage was done. There are many types of traumatic events that for whatever reason can change a person - how they act, their way of life, their beliefs - suddenly and permanently. Have you ever been through a shocking or traumatic experience? Maybe the death of a close friend, a life-threatening illness, seeing a family member experience pain, being mistreated by parents, suddenly being thrown into poverty, or maybe living through a divorce between your parents? A quick note that Revisions is a serious story with very little fanservice or forced comedy. They have continued their streak of impeccable original anime. I've finished the entire anime - this is a complete review. I originally posted this as a review on another site, but wanted to share it here in hopes that more people give Revisions a shot!
