Review of SSSS.Gridman

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: yet another mecha anime. And as Trigger is wont to do, all things must involve giant robots. Some spoilers: So we've got people who fly into computers and get transformed into parts of a giant robot. Why? Who knows! Where did the people with black suits come from? Who are they and whydo they have anything to do with Gridman?

Who or what is Gridman anyways? Is it an AI, alien, other-dimensional being, etc?

Where did Akane get her powers? From Alexis? Where did Alexis come from and what even is it?

Where did the Kaiju girl come from? What's her deal here?

Is nothing actually real? Just some dream or simulation of an anxious IRL girl?

There's many more questions than that. But at least the art and music were generally good. Characters were pretty flat in the personality department. And giant robots fighting giant kaiju gets repetitive.
