Lantern7 March 14, 2021 Share March 14, 2021 There hasn't been a thread set up for this anime currently running on Toonami. Since @lathspel and @Vermicious Knid commented about it on the Toonami thread, I might as well start one. It's not that I didn't think the series wasn't worthy of discussion. I just never felt the need to go over it. There are a lot of intriguing concepts . . . protagonist with amnesia, mecha that exists in an old computer, weirdies that can transform into accessories for said mecha, girl that can create kaiju with some villain that looks to be from a second-string Power Rangers ripoff, continuity getting "fixed" and people getting wiped from existence . . . and that's just off the top of my head. Also, there's one girl who's always wearing a mask over her face. Given this was made before 2020, I am amused by it. Is anyone else watching this? How big of a fan are you? Do you set up drinking games centering on the sidekick saying "Gridman Alliance"? 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/116602-ssssgridman-general-discussion/
SVNBob March 14, 2021 Share March 14, 2021 In case anyone didn't know: the SSSS in the title is a reference to the live-action series... the Power Rangers-esque series based on the original tokusatsu series of Gridman; Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad.

lathspel March 15, 2021 Share March 15, 2021 Mask girl is my favorite side character to keep an eye out for. She’s the “Glee Neck Brace Cheerleader” of this show. I made my argument on the Toonami thread that Gridman is a lot closer to Big O than Transformers so far.

lathspel March 26, 2021 Share March 26, 2021 This is sneakily becoming my favorite current show - well before the latest ep’s salute to Evangelion. The kaiju was angel-like, a main character has an eyepatch, armor gets torn off of Gridman, and of course “God’s in His heaven, all’s right in the world.” Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/116602-ssssgridman-general-discussion/#findComment-6684009
lathspel April 12, 2021 Share April 12, 2021 This show became an amazing mix of the ridiculous and the sublime. I’ll miss it. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/116602-ssssgridman-general-discussion/#findComment-6715936

Basically it was . .. smashing together The Big O and Haruhi Suzumiya? It was unique, but I don't think it'll be popular in the bigger picture. It'll probably be lumped with Dimension W.

Galileo908 April 12, 2021 Share April 12, 2021 Honestly loved Spoiler Gridman's True Form being the OG Gridman from 1993. That brought back lots of memories of watching Superhuman Samurai Seiber Squad Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/116602-ssssgridman-general-discussion/#findComment-6716299
