Aw dang it’s time for a new essay yeaaah. Concrete Revolutio is absolutely stuffed with great ideas, so the biggest issue here was really just tying them all together into a coherent piece. I’m pretty happy with the result, and hope you enjoy the writeup. The show’s only half over, but it’s already one of the richest narratives of the last few years, and I really, truly, desperately hope it sticks the landing. A good second half could make Concrete Revolutio a legitimate classic.
Anyway, enough preamble, let’s get to the writeup!
A Fire Burns in Concrete Revolutio
Easily the best line in your essay:
” As much as the reality of our incompatible ideals is tragic, it’s also beautiful – even if we disagree and fight and destroy, we are all searching for a better world. ”
I’m half glad you DIDN’T watch it last season and decided to marathon it now. It’s a messy jigsaw puzzle of sorts that doesn’t even have all the pieces there. Hopefully the second cours will give us a satisfying finish (or an outrageous conclusion. either way would be good).
To be honest i dropped it after some episodes because i generally dont like watching anything while airing except action/hype/shonen stuff.
