This series is a beautiful marriage of animation and tokusatsu, featuring exceptional designs for the mecha and kaiju alongside compelling, well-developed villains. There are no notable flaws to report, making this an essential watch for fans of the genre. I highly recommend this show to anyone w...

SSSS.Gridman is a masterpiece that excels in its engaging, well-paced storytelling, breathtaking animation, and an immersive sound design that perfectly captures the spirit of the genre. While the show is incredibly rewarding, it is not for everyone, as viewers may need prior knowledge of the old...

The series excels as a love letter to the tokusatsu genre, perfectly capturing the authentic, suit-actor feel of kaiju movements while providing compelling human depth for characters like Akane Shinjo and Anti. However, the show suffers from underutilized plot mechanics, such as the day-resetting...

This was one of the most confusing shows I've seen, and one that left many questions unanswered. Some things are given as facts, but there's no explanation as to why that's the way things are. Instead, the viewer just needs to accept everything at face value and try to enjoy it for what it is: ye...

*SSSS.Gridman* features a fantastic second half with significant story improvements and deeply compelling character development for Akane and Rikka. However, the repetitive, formulaic nature of the early episodes and the lack of depth in the supporting cast hold the series back. Ultimately, the s...

SSSS.Gridman is a brilliant, emotionally powerful series that masterfully weaves a deep meta-narrative into its mecha action while showcasing exceptional character development. While the initial episodes may deter some viewers and the core mystery becomes somewhat predictable by the tenth episode...

The art, animation, music, and especially the character designs are the only aspects that elevate this series. However, the experience is marred by boring, chemistry-less characters, a confusing and unexplained plot, and a nonsensical villain. Ultimately, this is a mediocre, frustrating mess that...

Gridman delivers a fantastic, free-flowing narrative filled with surprising plot twists and features one of the most memorable final episodes I have ever seen, complemented by the incredibly hype opening theme "UNION." Despite the stellar story, the characters feel disappointingly weak, and the b...

SSSS.Gridman is an excellent, genre-blending adventure that excels through its high-energy production, stunning cinematography, and a unique atmosphere that gives it a distinct identity. While the story is well-paced and culminates in a fantastic ending, the character development for the supporti...

You know, at some point we’re really going to have to retire the meme of Studio Trigger supposedly “saving” anime every time it puts out a production. Yes, I was as blown away by Kill la Kill as everyone else, and the studio’s resolute embrace of the creative, freeform ethos of classic anime (esp...

SSSS.Gridman is a masterfully written series that brilliantly balances dry, affectionate wit with a heartwarming exploration of teenage ennui and the power of escapism. While the show is an absolute triumph for fans of Tsuburaya Productions, its heavy reliance on niche tokusatsu references create...

Much like Planet With of last season, SSSS.Gridman is an emotionally driven show with big ol robots flying around in O.K. CG. And just like Planet With, Gridman is criminally underrated. I've never written a review here before, but I just wanted to give my 2 cents about how I felt. I'm not knowle...

SSSS.Gridman is an anime modernization of the tokusatsu genre, in the same vein as shows like Ultraman and Super Sentai, and it manages to do this shockingly well. My personal experience with the genre is essentially just seeing a few episodes of Power Rangers as a kid, which I never really cared...

SSSS.Gridman is an ode of appreciation to the Gundam genre, but it extends to all things "those-trash-cartoons-that-rot-kids-brains". No spoilers in this review, and while I am a firm believer that spoilers do not ruin media, I think the logical steps the story takes you all the way to the end is...

[includes spoilers] SSSS.Gridman is hard to nail down. It's an atmospheric mecha mystery show that also follows monster-of-the-week formula. While the mystery elements are weak, the characters and their interactions are complete blunders. The show is heavily focused on studying and developing the...

I often want to call Darling in the Franxx disappointing, but that isn't entirely true. I suspected I might not like it quite early on. SSSS.Gridman had a lot of baggage to overcome. Unlike with Franxx, this was a solo project for Trigger. That boded well for me, but I still had a certain fear th...

This series delivers an impressive, complex story paired with stunning Trigger-style animation, high-quality music, and a treasure trove of Tokusatsu and anime references. However, the characters often lack depth, making it difficult to connect with them, and the ending requires prior knowledge o...

Godzilla represented the fears and destruction of nuclear weapons, so what if a lonely human created kaiju, then what do these human created kaiju represent for the one that created it? SSSS.Gridman is something like a modern retelling of the 1993 Gridman the Hyper Agent tokusatsu series. SSSS.Gr...

SSSS Gridman. **spoiler free** When i watched the first episode i felt that this anime will just be the typical giant robot vs kaiju,nothing else.After all the episodes were out i gave it a chance and oh was it worth.The animation of SSSS Gridman is amazing. The art style is beautiful and the col...

Trigger's gayest anime to date is still not gay enough. The parts of the show that interest me are often given a back seat to archetypes and themes already explored in other shows. Yuta is a precious boy and all but he really isn't all that interesting, his situation not withstanding. Rikka often...
