History Anime / ConcreteRevolutioChoujinGensou

It centres on Jirou Hitoyoshi and the Superhuman Bureau as they strive to protect superhumans for the sake of the government. However, wherever there are superheroes, there are supervillains...

** As a whole the series is basically a love letter to Shouwa Era Japan, thus many characters of the week are based off pre-existing characters. This even extends to real-life events, with pretty much every major event in the show having some kind of historical basis.

** Episode 9 ends with the U.S. vehicles combining into a single robot that bears a striking resemblance to Optimus Prime. This is made all the better when Kikko magically assembles another robot from scrap to fight it, and this one looks exactly like Megatron

The [[Characters/ConcreteRevolutioChoujinGensou Characters page]] is a work in progress. Feel free to help out.

* MadEye: [[spoiler:Jirou gets these in episode 4, when he's about to get squished by big GaGon]].

* DefectorFromDecadence: Three of the four Remaining Angel Stars member go on the run after Aki is spared by Jiro and the death of their bandmate Funny.
* DrivenToSuicide: Angel Stars member Funny took her own life after her and fellow member Aki were forced to end their relationship due to the potential scandal of two women in love.

** [[spoiler: Episode 7's post-credits scene involves Jirou and Judas breaking into a safe to restore Earth-chan.]]
** [[spoiler: The season one finale shows Doctor Hitoyoshi finding a baby Jirou in a crater, only for the camera to zoom out to show a massive kaiju shadow coming from the child. The date line then appears: [[WhamLine Shinka Year 20,]] ''[[WhamLine Hiroshima]]'' ]]

''Concrete Revolutio'', subtitled ''Choujin Gensou'' (''Superhuman Fantasy''), is an AnimeFirst Fall2015Anime by StudioBones, directed by Seiji Mizushima and with a script done by Shou Hikawa. It will run for two seasons. It has a manga running in Young Ace as of the September 2015 edition, and its official website is [[http://concreterevolutio.com/en here]].

* CompleteImmortality: The family of seven in episode 9 have this. They've been alive since the beginning of the earth and nothing can kill them. Not even destroying them on a molecular level.

** At the end of the first ED, the appearances of the cast after the major TimeSkip is briefly shown. A good eye will spot that [[spoiler: Akita disappears from frame, giving away his "death" in Episode 2.]]

* ShooOutTheClowns: Fuurouta and Kikko have a habit of disappearing from the story when things get serious.

* TimeSkip: ''Lots of them''. The events of various episodes tend to occur months. The entire first half of the anime takes place over a little over two years, and about three years subsequently pass after that.

* MindScrew: The entire show, pretty much. Adding DerangedAnimation to a FantasyKitchenSink and mixing in {{Tokusatsu}} action and frequent {{time|Skip}}skips is a recipe for weirdness.

** Episode 9 ends with the U.S. vehicles combining into a single robot that bears a striking resemblance to Optimus Prime. This is made all the better when Hoshinoko magically assembles another robot from scrap to fight it, and this one looks exactly like Megatron

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: The fight with Grosse Augen is met with some concern, but when the citizens realize that the situation's being dealt with, they just go back to whatever they were doing.

* WhoWatchesTheWatchmen: At least this series gives us an answer. The Superhuman Bureau, which Jirou is a part of [[spoiler: and later defects from for unknown reasons]], tries its best to protect regular humans and the superhumans that protect them, but also take up the task of getting rid of the more unstable superhumans if need be. They're more of an underground group, and few have heard of them let alone rumors.
