Synopsis

Titans from outer space, life forms from a mystical world, phantoms and goblins from ancient times, cyborgs created by scientists, relics that rose out of the ruins of ancient civilizations. In another Japan, it's not just a question of "what if"—it's a reality. Some of the superhumans choose to keep their identities a secret, while others bask in their superhuman fame. Jiro Hitoyoshi, member of the Superhuman Bureau, keeps track of their doings. (Source: ANN)

Audience Consensus

Concrete Revolutio: Choujin Gensou - The Last Song is a thought-provoking and ambitious anime that deconstructs the superhero genre. While praised for its complex characters, ethical dilemmas, and social commentary, some find the non-linear storytelling confusing and the second season not as strong as the first. Overall, the series is considered underrated but is definitely not for everyone.

Strengths

  • Unique take on the superhero genre, questioning justice and morality.
  • Complex characters with conflicting beliefs that challenge the viewer.
  • Ambitious storytelling that tackles complex themes.
  • Historical Japanese metaphors provide depth.

Weaknesses

  • Non-linear storytelling can be confusing.
  • Early episodes of the first season may not impress.
  • Second season arguably forgets what made the first season great.
