Review of SSSS.Gridman
Imma get this out first, SSSS.Gridman is not for everyone. To fully experience this masterpiece you at least have to watch some of the old Ultra series as this anime is a tribute to those incredible works in the past. Story 10 I found myself very intrigued by the mysterious world of SSSS and this is the part that i love about Trigger. They reveal just little bit about the world each episodes to keep the audience engaged and they're really good at doing this. Every tiny details, every bits are all connected helping to build up the story then when the the twist hit, it feelsreally satisfying and not just for the sake of shock value. In addition, the pacing is excellent and i could see the time and effort they spent to make all the plots comes together.
The fights between Kaiju and Gridman are exhilarating as hell and every fights has its own depth and meaning, oR its just really cool to have Gridman overpowering them all with cool combinations of transformations.
Art 10
Trigger went all out on this masterpiece. The screenplay, the colorful world, the aesthetics, those damn sakuga, Im mean ComE ON Kaijus vs Giant Robots anime style. There were some uses of CG and its not half bad, also i think it fits perfectly. The amount of details of the world, the characters, the Kaiju and the Gridmans (different versions of him) makes for an "above average" of your typical highschool anime. The Kaijus each has unique styles, strengths, and abilities adapted to defeat Gridman. Trigger really is the king of Mechas.
Sound 10
Right from the get go, you can hear only the sounds, no music, just sounds and it gives me chills every times. I noticed that there were little uses of soundtrack (but it's fine cause those tracks are awsome) and just the sounds and it makes me very emerged in the world of SSSS, the humming of the mites, the noises during break times at school , the chorus in the background ... AnD that song they use in the final fight, uwe! the nostalgia
A little bit about the ending, perfect for the relationships between Rikka and Akane, outstanding
Character 9
I wont be able to talk about our characters too much without spoiling the entire anime but again Trigger has outdone themselves making me invested in these people. And the one who surprised me the most was Anti, thats all I have to say
Also, Rikka thicc thighs
Also Also, Akane panty hose
Enjoyment 10
I watched a lot of the Ultra series as a kid and SSSS G man is a like an anime style payoff to the late 90s series on how great they were back then. I was just excited as much as I was a kid watching this anime giving me chills whether I recall the feelings of similar moments being recreated with such love, care and creativity
Overall, I love SSSS. Gridman, and Trigger for their talented and dedicated staff. I just love them
