Revisions

I love Anime and want Netflix to make more of it so I always give it's originals a chance. This anime loses a lot of anime purists by having 3D characters in a 2d backdrop. Other 3D anime's by Netflix have had excellent storylines so they managed to get good reviews despite of themselves. The problem with this anime is it's story. "Revisions" is a mecha anime with a time travel premise that rarely lives up to it's potential. The dialogue is lacking as the protagonist incists all the time on the idea that he will be the one to save everyone. I am all for the protagonist being a hero...but it almost feels like the subtext is simply him shouting "I am the protagonist" rather then their being depth to the character or him actually being that heroic. The supporting characters at their worst are each annoying for their own unique reasons and at their best moments they are just cookie cutter cliches of the anime genre. Netflix needs to make better choices on what story to animate. Simply said there is much better content out there that you should watch before you even consider giving this a chance.

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 no base my decision to watch things on others opinions.

I get the main character is annoying for a reason - believing in destiny made him annoying. But did he have to be that annoying?! Regardless it pulls it together by the end. Very cool plot. Good English voice acting despite annoying writing at times. I'd recommend it and I'd watch a second season.

I watched it all for the sake of it, had nothing better to do.

This anime really did fall a bit limp. The central character is pretty hard to watch, constant over dramatic monologues about his destiny. Found "the gang" to be a fairly lifeless dynamic, everybody has their dry, assigned role and nobody ever deviates much.

The dialogue on the whole was pretty poor, I don't know if it's a cultural thing or a lost in translation, but a lot of the conversations just seemed dumb and the sort of thing that a 7 year old would find cool. It just felt so hollow, like an anime that was just going through the motions of "oh our hero!" dialogue.

The show does bring good visuals to the table but even then the CG style can get a bit weird at times, frame rate for motion varies pretty heavily and came look a bit clunky... while at other times they overanimate some frames.

I'd say the most interesting bits for myself where when the main characters weren't around. The political/police side of things was interesting and I enjoyed that a lot more than the school kids.

Maybe I signed up for it by choosing something aimed at teenagers? I don't know. But I expected better, it honestly makes me question this world when someone was hired to actually write and produce this thing. Money shouldn't be funding projects like these - it's a waste.

The main character is annoying. All he does is talk about himself and then whine.

The story is not bad and the animation is good but the main character makes this so painful to watch.
