Revisions (Winter 2019)
Revisions join the +Ultra anime block by studio Shirogumi. It will be a 3DCG production.
Synopsis
"This is a prophecy for you, where five people will meet huge adversaries, and only you can protect everyone." Daisuke Toujima is a second-year high school student who was abducted when he was young. He was involved in a special phenomenon—Shibuya Drift—with his childhood friends Gai, Ru, Marimari, and Keisaku. They were transferred to the center of Shibuya over 300 years into the future. What's waiting for them is endless wilderness and forest, Interspersed ruin, future citizens, and "Revisions" which are huge mechanical monsters. Trampled by the monsters without understanding the situation, a girl who has the same name as the person who saved Daisuke when he was abducted, Miro, provided a mobile suit "String Puppet" and told them to save Shibuya. With separated paths, adversaries, destined prophecies, the boys, and girls are on their journey to return to their original time.

What in tarnation
Of all game adaptations this is the least expected. I played it few months after it came out, but got bored.
I' m really curious how they will adapt it, though.

So this is the new name of Noitamina block.
Btw @tsubasalover,missed some details,the first 2 confirmed to be 3DCG series.
Nope. Looks like Fuji TV will air both. They just decided to create one more block instead of expanding Noitamina again.
