Concrete Revolutio The Last Song
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.

Overall, the series is considered underrated but is definitely not for everyone.
