I wasn’t kidding when I said he thinks he’s God’s greatest gift to mankind, his ego gets in his way more often and not and I’m not gonna lie, he’s a protagonist you’ll actively root against. He is the embodiment of every negative shounen protagonist trope ever created and it is just as terrible as you’re imagining.
#MILO REVISIONS SERIES#
That said, I will wholeheartedly admit that I absolutely hated Daisuke Doujima for the first eight episodes of the series, his bloated ego and self righteous hero complex are arguably some of the worst parts of the series in the beginning. Our hero… Get used to this face, he makes it a LOT! Each and every character has their own motivations and revisions does a great job of showing just how multifaceted the characters are. Hell, even the Revisions aren’t completely unsympathetic, even if their methods are horrifying, they’re just trying to survive. And Daisuke and the members of the SDS constantly make selfish decisions that put themselves and the people of Shibuya in danger. There are times when the people of Shibuya are the “bad guys”, like the city’s mayor, Muto, who constantly acting in his own self interests, even if it means sacrificing a few people to the Revisions. revisions operates in shades of grey, at any given moment a character you thought was a “good guy” could have their motivations questioned. Each new revelation brings us that much closer to the truth, while also casting doubt on things we thought we had all figured out. What little information about the future and the Revisions we do get come through the filter of Milo and the AHRV, which we know almost nothing about. We’re dropped headfirst into the action, alongside Daisuke and the rest of Shibuya, we learn things with them, and it helps build this sense of camaraderie the characters, because we are just as in the dark as they are.
#MILO REVISIONS HOW TO#
The main premise is pretty simple: the people of Shibuya are displaced in time 300 years into the future and must figure out how to get back to their rightful time. revisions has its own story to tell and while it does fumble at times with balancing its various plot points, the series is a pretty entertaining watch… if not a little convoluted at times.
#MILO REVISIONS CODE#
So, its safe to say that revisions has some pretty big shoes to fill, but if you go into this expecting it to be the next Code Geass, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. Goro Taniguchi is no stranger to success, his critically acclaimed Code Geass franchise has met with overwhelming mass appeal since its debut in 2006, with audiences and critics praising the series’ complex characters and themes as some of its strongest attributes. Now, Daisuke and his friends must defeat the Revisions if they have any hope of returning to the past, or they’ll risk staying in the future forever. The future is a veritable wasteland, populated by beings known as Revisions who use monstrous mecha abominations to terrorize the inhabitants of Shibuya, their only hope is the secretive organization AHRV and their agent, Milo, a mysterious young woman from the future who shares a strong resemblance to someone from Daisuke’s past. She arms Daisuke and his friends with their own mecha, String Puppets, the only things capable of taking down the Revisions and protecting the people of Shibuya. With these words in his heart, Daisuke spent the better part of his life preparing to do just that, his years of “training” pay off when he, his friends, and the entire city of Shibuya are mysteriously transported from present day (2017) to the year 2388. After being rescued from an attempted kidnapping as a child, he was told by his rescuer that he was destined to save the world. The series follows high schooler, Daisuke Doujima, a guy who is convinced that he is god’s greatest gift to mankind. Revisions has a lot going on in its rather short, 12 episode run, equal parts human drama and sci-fi adventure, the series draws from a lot of preexisting anime tropes, while also bringing with it a few unique ideas. Of course, this wasn’t Taniguchi’s first foray into the mecha genre, he’s been associated with a number of critically acclaimed mecha series since the early 90’s and it’s safe to say that he brings his years of experience with him into this sci-fi epic. So, I wasn’t chomping at the bit for Winter 2019’s revisions, the brain child of veteran director Goro Taniguchi. I am not a huge mecha fan, in fact, I can honestly say there are two maybe three mecha series that have managed to hold my interest for longer than a few episodes.
