Studio Bones is expected to announce an original anime, Concrete Revolutio: Choujin Gensou, for broadcast in October 2015. The official anime website has been registered but requires authentication to access. A key visual has been displayed at Daisuki's booth at Anime Expo 2015.

Synopsis
Apotheosis, a superhuman phenomenon in Tokyo. The reason of their birth is unknown. Some of them were modified by evil organizations; some came from outer space. Some came from a magical world, while others are monsters from ancient times. Some are robots made by scientists, OOPart (out-of-place artifact) robots. However, the Japanese government cannot afford to turn a blind eye to the prevalence of these superhumans.

I'm all for original anime and the premise could turn out well,but it's Bones and the key visual is way too colorful for my taste so I am keeping my expectations low.
Still,looking forward to Fall season and am glad that atleast some Studios try to do some original works.

No Darker than Black Season 3 this year but I'm alright with this. The premise sounds kinda interesting. This will also be Bones' final series to premiere this year.

Aikawa had mentioned this project in an interview before. It's supposed to be an alternate present of Japan but with superhumans, much like Watchmen.

Original anime is such a dying breed so whenever a new original show is announced im pretty excited as long as it isnt a moe, ecchi, harem school comedy or any of that pleb stuff. Will be following up on this for sure

Not a fan of Bones track record as of late, and I'm not a fan of the writer at all. So I'm going into this with low expectations.

The premise is all over the place!
Looks like a bad fanfiction written by a grade 2 student.

It will 100% Suck, modern original anime with the most interesting premise always deceive me by poor writing!

This may be a dark anime, the writer has almost all dark anime on his entry on MAL.

This also sounds like if anime was real: The Animation

This sounds really creative, the staff is inconsistent making some of the worst anime ive ever seen(blazblue, angel cop) whilst also some of my favorites (rahXephon, FMA 2003) so who knows how this will work, still im on board

That reminds me of Marvel Civil War, hopefully it won't remind me of its terrible writing.

Original shows tend to be hit or miss, so will have to wait and see. Synopsis doesn't sound all that interesting though..

It's always nice to see Studios create original anime, but the staff behind this is not reassuring. Plus the blurb doesn't really give me a clear picture of what this series is exactly about. I mean I get this is about superheroes and problems with the government, but beyond that what will this series actually be about? I'll at least watch it, but my expectations are low.

Yeah I kinda hope Bones will revive DtB at first, but well it can't be helped.

Bones and original anime, it can be hit or miss. I'm not gonna put my expectation too high, but let's hope it'll turn out to be good.

Yeah, my hype for DTB pretty much died down these last few months so I'm not surprised the original anime isn't that. I'll wait patiently for 2 more years when the franchise has its 10th anniversary. Then, at long last, the glorious BK201 will rise again and that clusterfuck season 2 ending will be redeemed.

:D I will definitely be watching this!

Sounds like it might be good. Kaito Ishikawa will also be in it and it has the same director and script writer as my all time favourite anime Fullmetal Alchemist.

I'll have to make sure I don't expect too much though. I'm looking forward to seeing a PV soon.

Could be good - the last few years have been pretty great with regard to the original anime. Story does sound a little like Kekkai Sensen, with some mahou shoujo thrown in for fun. Kekkai Sensen Madoka Magica?

Bones was the best Studio a few years ago... It's amazing how a company can fall from grace so smoothly. Bones needs something that is already good and they need to follow it faithfully
