The narrative focuses on a second-year high school student named Daisuke Dojima. At the present time, and for some mysterious reason, he and his friends Gai, Luu, Marimari, and Keisaku will suddenly find themselves wrapped up in a mysterious phenomenon known as the Shibuya Drift.
This event transports the central area of Shibuya at least 300 years into the future, wherein what awaits Daisuke and his friends is nothing more than a vast wasteland and forest dotted with ruins of an industrial city long gone.
Here, they will be forced to work together with people known as Revisions, who operate giant mechanical monsters. Daisuke and his friends will now have to fight an unknown enemy in an isolated futuristic town in order to take back the present
Moreover, Daisuke will meet Milo, a girl who bears the same name as the person who kidnapped him when he was a kid. Milo tells him that he is the only one who has the ability to operate the doll weapon known as the String Puppet, and that Shibuya's ultimate protection lay in his hands.
Additional information about the "Revisions" anime will be released in the coming days on the series' official site.
