Review of SSSS.Gridman
now this anime is great. If you are someone like me, an over-analysis person, you'll find a huge meaning within this series. {spoiler WARNING in 2nd paragraph} This anime looks like the average 12ep 1season anime, however, when looked into the details and characters depths one can suspect that the hidden story behind the colorful and action-packed episode is about depression or low-self esteem(Asian-style), the reason why I included Asian-style is because low self-esteem in most Asian nation(Japan for example) is so much different to that compare to the West. The anime is a sleep-dream of an anti-social girl[MC].IRL, the girl[Akane] an otaku who likes Ultraman[a live-action TV series] and other Gundam shows. Within the dream, Gridman is a personification of her desire to move forward. The Kaijus are reasons to not move forward fueled by depression. Another character in the dream, Anti, could be interpreted as many things but the easiest is anti-depressants/meds. The character Yuta, who sits near the popular kid but is ignored has a crush on someone that drives them and has a friend with the same interests, is Akane in the dream experiencing spectator-style Lucid Dream. When Yuta wakes up which was the end of sleeping Akane's lucid dream after she comes clean and possibly self-cured her depression.
yeaaa over analysis! great stuff tho yea!
