Concrete Revolutio is literally Japanese Watchmen.

Barely having any effect on the industry eliminates it.

Boku no Pico.

To clarify.
Concrete Revolutio takes place in the 1960s and 1970s Japan in a parallel universe where Super Heroes, paranormal entities, aliens, mythological beasts, mecha and other stuff exist, and events that happened in our real world are paralleled in this parallel universe by paranormal equivalents.

The main characters belong to the Superhuman Bureau, an agency that serves to regulate, classify and protect Superhumans (the general name given to all supernatural people) from people who would abuse them (militaries, terrorists, government), as well as prevent Superhumans from mindlessly destroying cities or doing whatever they want with their absurd powers.
The series explores how the word "justice" is meaningless and can be twisted into anything, morality and other shit akin to the Watchmen, as our main characters deal with various superhumans and their struggles to adjust to society.

Looks interesting, might have to check it out.

It's extremely interesting, especially if you're into mid-20th century Japanese politics and pop culture.

The series is essentially one giant political/social/cultural commentary on post-WW2 Japan during the 60s and 70s while using super heroes and other media that was popular in the time to tell that story.

Nice, and by the pics you posted I assume that Concrete Revelutio is sort of a anthology series covering and detailing the specific events for that in-universe timeline?

It's hard to describe it because the story isn't told chronologically (the story constantly goes back and forth between the 1960s when the characters are still younger and the 1970s when the characters are older.), but there's lots of info-dumps, history and flashbacks on stuff that's happened between the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s.

I was thinking of watching this but I have basically no knowledge of the context you mentioned. Is there any reading I have to do before hand?

Pretty much

No Chinese comicbook could ever compare to the Kino that is watchmen, but Fire Punch comes pretty close.

A better question is, what is the Who Framed Roger Rabbit equivalent in Anime and Manga?

There's plenty of garbage on the same level as Watchmen. Only retards hold this comic in high regard anyway.

>that ugly korean sweatshop artstyle

No thanks

Retarded Contrarian.

>what is the Who Framed Roger Rabbit equivalent in Anime and Manga?
Interesting question, but sadly I got nothing.

Funny because watchmen is mostly liked by people who think they're edgy contrarians

>because the story isn't told chronologically (the story constantly goes back and forth between the 1960s when the characters are still younger and the 1970s when the characters are older.)
That explains why this Anime isn’t as talked about as much.

The artstyle's meant to invoke Western super hero comics, actually.

Lots of people unironically dropped it in 2016 because the anime didn't make it extremely obvious that it was hopping back and forth between what happened in the 70s and what happened in the 60s, so a lot of people couldn't follow the story and wondered why characters were acting completely irrationally.
