(L) Revisions [Winter 2019]

[4th Dimension]

Hmm, yeah. He pretty much takes out all three of the bad guys in one form or another and saves "MC"'s uncle...

Spoiler for ep2:

Well, it is kinda lame that everyone put inside that tank was actually still alive, but... Oh, and welp, goes figures that the enemy is human. It's always like that. You first think it is humans vs. monsters, but it turns out to just be the usual human vs. humans again. *sigh*
...Hmm *stares*

Well... let's just say that being put in their tummy prisons isn't excatly safe...

Started watching this. It's pure comedy relief, that Daisuke guy. A 10 year old (mentally anyway) with ADHD who gets high off battle and a hero complex of epic proportions and pining for his super ane san. I just can't not laugh each time he appears. He's supposed to be annoying? HAH, he is more like a joke



Also shouldn't this be current series?

[Endscape]

It's a pity Netflix dropped the ball on this. I wish they had weekly episodes for this like with Violet Evergarden.

[Cosmic Eagle]

At halfway mark of the story. So not only is Daisuke 5 years old in the head but he's also a psychopath and incompetent. Hahaha, this just keeps getting better and better.

Hats off to Gai though for having to bear with him


EDIT: It takes Nicholas of all people to flat out call Daisuke an asshole lmao

That's because Violet isn't Netflix original
Revision is.

Ep 8:

---> Knows Revisions are kidnapping their ancestors for....some reason, possibly time travel related due to Quantum Brain stuff and thus the whole issue should be treated with maximum delicacy


-----> Recklessly attacks Revisions base without knowing what the hell is actually happening there instead of maybe....going to gather intel first.



-------> Result is Keisaku vanishing and Chiharu who had some possibly vital role in altering the course of the Pandemic getting squashed to pulp. If the world were cruel, humanity could have been permanently damned there and then.

Revision is not produced by Fuji TV? at least it is broadcast weekly on that channel in a new anime block (Plus Ultra).

Well, Sidonia was produced by the MBS channel and was broadcast on the animeism block, netflix just licensed the series. As Amazon did with Banana Fish or crunchyroll as Mob. It was not an original netflix true

Finished watching it

Great anime, love it~

Too bad no romantic resolution

I have no problems with Netflix's binge watching model, but it really makes no sense to wait and do that when the show is being aired weekly elsewhere.

[wuhugm]

Too bad they drop some plotpoints, like sensei's seduction

Btw, the OP and ED are epic

No, it is the other way around.
Netflix released all episodes at once first when everywhere else is airing it 1 episode a week. Even the Revisions official website state this on its very first page so Netflix can get more subscriber.

I finished this a while ago. It was pretty good, but you do need to handle Daisuke being both kind of hilarious and kind of annoying with this heroic delusions. Which seems to be part of the point, considering how the story flips that around later.

But I can't shake the feeling this would have been more popular if it had been made in 2D animation and shown on a weekly schedule instead of left up to Netflix.

Some shows work well with the binge model. For this one, I'd have preferred weekly viewing. Can't blame anyone but myself for that, in the end, I suppose. Overall, I thought it was nice.

I felt that was probably a quick reference to a much earlier show by the same director, where a seduction/romantic manipulation sub-plot was actually a bigger deal.

[wuhugm]

^Finally someone who discuss the actual anime instead of Netflix distribution method

The seduction in Infinite Ryvious and Gundam Seed were awesome imho~

I kinda like Daisuke
The twist at the end was epic
And since he already got mentally broken down several times before, despite the final shock be the greatest, he accepted it wholeheartedly
Only in that final moment he was truly a hero

I'll be happy if this gets a sequel
Probably got haremy though
Since Milo and Ruu seemed to came to like him in the end

[Cosmic Eagle]

Finally finished the whole thing.

Nicholas' self defeating fixation on Daisuke aside, "POOR BOY!" is now this series de facto tagline. If an S2 comes he'd better be present also

[wuhugm]

^Hope there is an S2
Coz we still dunno the real identity of Nicholas
The revision girls called him ancient one just like the past Tokyoites
Also we need that romantic resolution

Spoiler for final thoughts:

8/10

Overall, I think it was fairly well done, but a big problem is that despite the setting revolving around time travelling and human-destroying viruses, the story itself was pretty small.

Also, another problem is that because the characters spent so much time fighting each other or being assholes, there wasn't really enough time to develop the supposed bonds between them. As a result, when they have a scene like "Yay, let's put our hands together before the final fight!"... it just doesn't work.
And no, adding an insert song does not trick me into thinking it does.

Also, the whole "Bu-but they are human" plot doesn't work well here, because the enemy side is trying to bloody murder everyone and doesn't look a cm human nor act so nor show the intelligence of so. If you want the viewer to agree with this problem, you have to spend more time into developing them as.. well, sympathize-able to any amount.
The female teacher acts suspicious for no real reason either.
And they spend too much time recalling previous episode events.

I mean, overall, the concept isn't bad though. So I will give it okay points.
