The complete original anime series Concrete Revolutio, encompassing both Choujin Gensou and its follow-up The Last Song, has arrived on Crunchyroll with English dub and subtitle options. Produced by the acclaimed Studio Bones, known for its work on Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and My Hero Academia, this series offers a challenging and mature deconstruction of the superhero genre.
Set in a fictionalized 1960s Japan, Concrete Revolutio follows an elite task force tasked with policing a diverse array of superhumans. Scriptwriter Shou Aikawa aimed for a tone akin to Watchmen, delving into the moral complexities, political machinations, and societal impact of superpowers, often presented through an achronological narrative structure.
With 26 episodes in total, the series provides a deep dive into its world, exploring themes of political corruption, the nature of heroism, and the consequences of unchecked power. Its unique visual style and non-linear storytelling demand attention, rewarding viewers with a thought-provoking and often surprising narrative.
