 During a streaming event of studio Bones' original TV anime Concrete Revolutio: Choujin Gensou, it was announced that the second half of the series will premiere in April 2016. The initial announcement of the series confirmed that the series would consist of two cours, but it was unknown whether it would be split-cours or not. Gen Urobochi and Masaki Tsuji will join the returning staff members as scriptwriters.Studio Bones announced in July of this year that an original TV anime was slated to premiere in Fall 2015. The first half of the series premiered on October 4 and is expected to run until December 27 with a total of 13 episodes. The series is currently simulcast on MyAnimeList via Daisuki, as well as FUNimation and AnimeLab. Daisuki also announced that they have acquired the rights to stream the second half of the series.

| Here we go. The supposed second cour is finally announced ! Good news. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| Good news. The series doesn't get nearly enough love. |
 |
| Many ones from this season already got a second cour...anyway.. I'm pretty exited for this one. |
 |
| Can't wait for the continuation of the story in April... ;) |

| The most under rated show of the year for me, its alot more clever and well thought out than people give it credit for However urabuchi? I dont know how i feel about this, like his writing doesnt seem like it will fit with the show at all even when the show gets dark orkuncan said: Goofy Darker than black with baccano type timeskips mid episode.DatRandomDude said: İs it really good news ? İ didnt watch it yet . Can you try to tell me by most similar anime to thisHere we go. The supposed second cour is finally announced ! Good news. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| So it seems like the rumors were thruth after all and it's gonna be 2-cour long. Hope this uses his length properly and explains things better. |
| Definitely an underrated show and not surprising. Originally, it was scheduled as a 2 cour but I think given the amount of projects Bones are working on in 2016, they needed some break to produce the second half. |
 |
| Easily one of best and most complex shows this year. Feels like anime version of The Watchmen(if it was written in non-linear fashion of The Pulp Fiction) it is also one of the most underrated shows of the season because it actually requires an attention span longer than that of a goldfish. And some general history knowledge of 40s-80s era. Great things await. |
 |
| even with urobutchi on the script i still don't know if i'll get myself to watch the rest of the first half |
| :3 |
| Horrible news. This anime does not even deserve to exist Fai said: Easily one of best and most complex shows this year. Feels like anime version of The Watchmen(if it was written in non-linear fashion of The Pulp Fiction) Best ? No. It is one of the most boring shows in this year. Complex ? Yes, it was so complex that I didn't even know what is going on |
| Still some things that need to be answered, so great news. |
 All credit goes to Sacred. |
| 2 cours? Unexpected. |
thepath said: How so, the show literally spells out to you exactly whats happening, and what era they are in.Complex ? Yes, it was so complex that I didn't even know what is going on The only thing unexplained is why jiro betrays the bearu which anyone with a brain at this point can put 2 and 2 together. |

| This show bored me so I dropped it. Not as interesting as the other two shows that air on Sunday. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Why does this shit gets a sequel? This shit doesn`t make any sense to everything, every single episode is so boring and it makes no sense, it`s like brain dead version of Darker than Black for babies. Urobutcher will be the script writer on 2nd-cour? the characters will be more robotic indeed, i`ll never watch the 2nd-cour. The one who create Concrete Revolutio is a fucking idiot. It`s so bad, i want to re-watch the 2nd season of Darker than Black. |

Zeta-Astacion said: It's not a second season if it was planned from the very beginning, it's just a split cour. It says that in the damn article.

| Yes! I was getting worried that not everything would be explained but since there's a 2nd part then it should be okay...I hope. |
| Wondering whether I should watch this or not. I think I'll add it to my PTW just to be sure. |
 |
| I don't drop stuff so given that a split-cour is technically just one anime except with a break in the middle I shouldn't really stop halfway through............ but I really, really do not want to watch this. The first cour thus far is just... beyond awful. I cringe every week Adding Urobuchi to the script might change things up however... but even though I like some of his works, he's been consistently producing terrible stuff the last 2-3 years so idk |
  |
| Yay for the confirmation! Concrete Revolutio has been one of my favorite anime this season, the series has its own charms, and I've enjoyed every episode so far. Urobuchi though? I'm on the edge about this, can't say it's good or bad. I guess if he does the finale episodes the show will go out with a bang. Zeta-Astacion said: This shit doesn`t make any sense to everything, every single episode is so boring and it makes no sense, it`s like brain dead version of Darker than Black for babies. The first part of your sentence doesn't make sense. If it makes no sense to you, I don't think that makes the show brain dead, it would be the other way around. I know people who don't like Concrete Revolutio complain that it's confusing/doesn't make sense and they are turning on their brain, but that's BS because if you were really paying attention and investing your energy into the series, it's not confusing at all. There are only things that are unexplained/not shown yet (pretty much only the historical events in the setting). I can understand if the series is just not your taste or you find it boring because you just do, but the show does make sense, despite its nonlinear storytelling. |

So one or two episodes at most and even then they might be a joint venture. Also yeah. The show is best test for an attention span. One can claim to dislike the themes presented or be confused at historical references, political themes and setting(since pretty much everything in show is based upon real life events and happenings in showa era japan), but CLAIMING that show "makes no sense" or "is confusing" is downright ridiculous since the show explains itself quite well, once the viewer turns on the brain that is. Frankly we have seen the same tendency with all non-linear narrative shows. Whether it is Kekkai Sensen, Durarara, Baccano or Concrete Revolutio - there are always people claiming that there's no "plot" or that "its episodic". Man those people would hate Tarantino's movies. And overall non-tarantino non-linear narrative masterpieces like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind would most likely be viewed as "complete incomprehensible shit" Why Am I surprised by this thread though? Concrete Revolutio episode threads revealed a lot about anime community - like the fact that some people do not even know what a "flashback" or "flashforward" in narrative storytelling is. |
|
| So it's finally confirmed. Very good news! |
 |
| >urobuchi *throws shits in storm's general direction* |
 |
| Why is this news? Didn’t we know that this was going to be 2 cour already? I mean, without a second cour this show would’ve been a waste of time. And no, this show isn’t complex in any way, shape, or form. It’s just the way the story is told that might give you the impression of that…. Is it confusing? Perhaps, but that’s all. Anyhow, not everyone’s cup of tea. Personally, I find it to be fun, and that’s all. A good way to spend 24 minutes of my Sunday. |

Ah yeah, that's what I thought, with Urobuchi being a guest writer. I feel like when he's only writing for an episode or two in a series, it's probably the beginning and/or the end (Gargantia, A/Z), that's why I said it might end with his episodes. But thanks, I didn't think about it possibly being a joint venture as well. I remember the complaints with Kekkai Sensen...but at least the former three you mentioned have had good reception overall, whereas it feels like Concrete Revolutio is almost unknown (on MAL) AND un-liked...I know preliminary scores aren't everything, but it's got a terrible score so far. can't believe it's lower than Comet Lucifer |

Kekkai Sensen while it did get the hate at first, latter settled down - It was carried in japan almost solely by fujoshi fanbase and in the vest it did not make that big of a fuss and most viewers treated it as "episodic comedy" Same with DRRR(yes I had someone genuinely tell me Durarara is "episodic funny show"). Actually if you notice most of those viewers will claim the first season(which was the most straightforward and had most comedic gags) to be the "best" while apparently the newer ones "have no plot" (ironically DRRR is kind of niche in japan too). Just like with Kekkai Sensen, a big part of MAL is watching it solely for moments of characters being silly. Also in both of above cases, most people knew what to expect when jumping in. With concrete revolutio, that kind of audience expected "kill la kill" or "gurren lagann". They expected wacky comedy and giant robots causing explosions. Instead they got a show that uses unique in terms of anime medium storytelling method and is actually less focused on visual gags and more on telling the story. Cue the hate. It frankly leads me to conclusion that a modern anime viewer is completely not used to actually having to think or put things together by themselves(I mean we are talking about generation of viewers who had trouble following freaking gakkou gurashi by not being able to recognize and seprate present time story from very clearly marked flashbacks). The fact that certain idiotic youtuber bitched on how the show "is episodic, makes no sense and has no plot" also did not help matters because we now got the hate-train phenomenon of something being "cool to dislike". And yeah, its strange to see Comet Lucifer being rated higher, but not so weird to be honest- that show caters to an average neet far more than something like Concrete Revolutio - unlike this show, Comet Lucifer is very basic in terms of plot and a lot more focused on instant gratification and neet-pandering. |

| This is amazing- so happy :D. I still thought it was single cour so I was wondering how it would be possible to finish it in the time they have left XD. |

 |
| Yeah no, this anime wasn't really for me and as much as I like Gen Urobochi, I doubt it will make me watch it again. |
 |
| With all sorts of specific-character-and-theme-related episodes shown by this series, I am almost expecting this to happen. Besides, it would be a letdown/trouble if the series itself will execute the actual action on the last two episodes. |
| Good news! The show really intrigued me every time, especially near the end of the series. I feel disappointed that the show is underrated though. |

tetrix1993 said: Good news! The show really intrigued me every time, especially near the end of the series. I feel disappointed that the show is underrated though. Being overshadowed by the more popular One Punch Man (OPM) is one of the reasons. This is despite that both of them concerned about the concepts of superheroes/heroic superhumans. But I still watch both of them. |

If I would want to describe the word "incoherence" I would use this show as example. Thats the baffling thing about this complaint, concrete isnt a complex show in the slightest, its mostly episodic with a building overarching narrative that is fairly contained from episode to episode but ultimately all its storylines start and conclude in the same episode. The time skips being jarring is valid butt o say this is incoherent is tantamount more to the viewer's fault more so than show's. |

| Sounds good. Not sure if I'd remember some details come April though. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| Wait so this was a 2 cour? Damn, I wish it's just a standalone cour. Because it's so bad! |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| Didn't we know about this since the beginning? |
 |
| To me it's not good news. This cour is so boring and messy. And when i say it's messy, it means that even though i understood the episodes and the future/past events, i don't like the way they are evolving the story. Probably i'll watch season 2 because i want to know how this story ends. |

ReaperCreeper said: Didn't we know about this since the beginning? Yes it was announced as a two-cour show. MAL was just MAL. The main news here though is WHEN the second cour will air. |
|
| I'm happy to hear that this show will be receiving a second season! |
| That was expected. It wouldn't be very good for the fans or the studio if they just left it hanging like they will almost certainly do at the end of s1. And it is an original series, so I'm relieved we won't have the constant nitpickers yelling "BONES ENDING" when their show doesn't copy the manga word for word. |
| Are the people who complain about Concrete Revolutio's scattered storytelling the same people who like Baccano? Because that'd be hilarious. |
