Review of SSSS.Gridman
To simplify things: what a majestic tribute to Tsuburaya Productions' 90's Denkou Choujin Gridman! My first contact with Gridman was watching Superhuman Samurai, the American version. Back then I loved it but never thought about watching the original tokusatsu series because my SHS's memories were the best and I didn't want to ruin it. SSSS. Gridman came to fit my desire to know better the world from the original Japanese series and I decided to watch it for the nostalgia. Some elements surprised me a lot during the series. First was the development of the history that differs from the live-action tokusatsu "rule" of getting a newmonster per episode with minimum or no-story sustaining it. Although I think it is still a teen-series, it has a solid story! Another thing is THE REFERENCES! From Tsuburaya's Superheroes Universe and its monsters. From small lines to literally showing the figures and talking about Ultraman during some episodes - that's something you can only do when you are the owner of the show. You really feel you are watching a tokusatsu series. My third surprise was the amazing work from the guys at TRIGGER Studio to create a 3D that finally doesn't bother me AT ALL!!! Guys, please talk with the staff from "Berserk" to change things there for the next season!!! It's simply beautiful and fluid; all the fighting scenes are really really well choreographed and I have nothing but to be grateful for all the effort they put in it! Finally, the last half of the last episode that is just... please watch the series I guarantee that if you are a tokusatsu fan, you will enjoy it! Better get some information from the original series like watching the first episode at least to get a 100% full experience from the references SSSS. Gridman will show you.
