Review of SSSS.Gridman
I never watched the original Gridman series before or anything like it. I had seen the costume online but that’s been the extent of my knowledge of it. There’s a lot of cool visual nods to the Tokusatsu genre that made me want to watch the show, and I think for that alone it’s worth watching. Studio Trigger again does an amazing job. There is such a great deal of mystery in the show. While it may seem to start off fairly straightforward like any other Tokusatsu series, but it really evolves in a way that brings the viewer along in a way that makes theaudience put the pieces together.
Interesting visually. Interesting narratively. Interesting meta-wise.
I could see me changing my mind to an 8/10 if I were to dive more into Tokusatsu and rewatching the show.
