With the third episode of Concrete Revolutio having come and gone this weekend, Bandai Visual has brought out not only a teaser for that third episode but also a teaser for the second episode. These new web spots are aimed more at trying to get people on board with the show while also ensuring that they know about the home video side of it as there’s a persistent corner bug about the first release date. The company is certainly doing its best to promote the show as they also recently brought out the first episode in full on YouTube for fans to check out as well in order to get as many eyeballs on it as possible.
It’s still not clear whether the two cour series will have a break between them or not. The series is coming from Bandai Visual and Bones and is going for a strong international approach. With multiple sites in various territories around the world, including an English language one, the series looks to be set for a wide range of audiences when it debuts as there are sites in English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Chinese.
The series is being directed by Seiji Mizushima and is based on the story by Shou Aikawa with Yoshiyuki Ito handling the character designs and serving as the animation director. Bones is handling the animation. The cast includes Kaito Ishikawa as Jirō Hitoyoshi, Sumire Uesaka as Kikko Hoshino, Aki Toyosaki as Emi Kino, Eriko Nakamura as Fuurouta, Tokuyoshi Kawashima as Hyōma Yoshimura, Tetsuo Kanao as Daishi Akita and Kenichi Suzumura as Raito Shiba.
Plot concept: The stage is set in “another Japan” as a banquet of diverse superhumans unfolds…
In an imaginary “age of gods” about 20 years after the war, Japan has grown and developed by leaps and bounds. What if all the superhumans ever written about in fictional stories existed at the same time? Superhumans who came into existence through different circumstances, and who are special in different ways — Titans from outer space, lifeforms from a mystical world, phantoms and goblins from ancient times, cyborgs created by scientists, relics that rose out of the ruins of ancient civilizations, and the list goes on. One segment of these superhumans makes no secret of their existence and has gained popularity in society. Others cloak their identities and fight in secrecy.
There are enemies of superhumans as well, organizations that operate in the shadows.
The Japanese government has taken many measures to secure peace and order.
One is the establishment of an organization under the Ministry of Health and Welfare — the Overpopulation Research Laboratory, a.k.a. the Superhuman Bureau.
Their mission is to identify and approach suerhumans, then oversee and safeguard them. One member of the Superhuman Bureau, Jiro Hitoyoshi, is protagonist of this series.
Why do you call it Concrete Revolution?
Because I typoed? Seriously, it’s not hard to mess this one up since it’s so utterly natural to write Revolution. Revolutio is so unnatural to write.
Yeah, I get you.
