Best Anime of January 2019
Revisions
Revisions is one of those rare anime that isn’t an adaption from a manga or a light novel, and instead is an original property. The show is a mecha anime that tells the story of Daisuke Doujima, who was kidnapped as a young child. He and his friends are caught in a strange series of events known as “Shibuya Drift” transporting them 300 years into the future at Shibuya.
There they meet a mysterious girl and becomes “Revisions,” people who might an unknown enemy with giant mechanical monsters, in order to reclaim the presents.
Revisions is directed by Goro Taniguchi, someone who’s certainly no stranger to mecha anime. Taniguchi also served as the director on Code Geass, one of the most critically acclaimed mecha anime of all time. He’s also directed a host of other anime like S-Cry-Ed, Gun x Sword, and ID-0. The series will also be written, in part, by Makoto Fukami who served as one of the main writers for Psycho Pass.
The anime’s first trailer shows an interesting art style that almost seems to combine 2D and 3D. Revisions is worth at least giving a shot, purely because of the talent behind the show. It premieres on January 10.
