SSSS.Gridman

Yuuta Hibiki wakes up in the room of Rikka Takarada and notices two things: he has no memories, and he can hear a mysterious voice calling his name from a nearby room. On further inspection, he finds a robot—which introduces itself as Hyper Agent Gridman—behind the screen of an old computer. Much to Yuuta's surprise, Rikka cannot hear Gridman, nor can she see the ominous monsters looming over a thick fog as it envelopes the town outside.

Another giant monster materializes in the city and proceeds to wreak havoc. Amidst the confusion, Yuuta is once again drawn to the old computer and merges with Gridman. Suddenly, he appears in the middle of the battle and is forced to fight the monster. Together with Rikka and fellow classmate Shou Utsumi, Yuuta forms the "Gridman Alliance" to defeat the monsters plaguing the city and find whoever is responsible for their emergence.

Girl in her Own Little World

I am not a big mecha fan, but this show was touched a little part of my brain That is still a child, wants to see robots fight monsters, and I had a wonderful time seeing it.

Fun fighting, a good soundtrack for big monster fights, and a storyline that goes interesting places, and a girl who needs to clean her room.

The characters work well together has a good dynamic and weirdo character works really way good as contrast.

I really enjoy the story, in the first half It feels like you're watching at normal mecha with some weird ideas, and then ... in the later half it becomes an Intervention for a person soul.

. It's a show about fighting big monster, but still is about having to live and not running from reality, it is a show with a message that I think is awesome and it's one of the reasons, I have this show in such high regard. An anime show with a good ending is worth recommending in itself.

Mixed Feelings

SSSS.Gridman is an extremely boring, average series to a fault. It has nothing special about it, with the MC being an amnesiac character with pretty much an empty personality, nonsensical plot that realistically doesn’t even make sense in their own world, a boring villain that is just there to be driving the plot, and pretty much no lore or explanation of the world they are in.

The only redeemable factors are the cinematography/directing, as it is from studio Trigger, and the dialogue. The characters might be one-dimensional with little to no inner conflict, and empty personalities, but the dialogue isn’t half bad, and the voice acting ... is pretty good.

The fights themselves are extremely corny and don’t make any sense, as expected from any kaiju/mecha anime, but they aren’t too boring most of the time. It’s only 12 episodes so it’s not really a drag to watch the whole thing quickly, but you’re better off without it. It hasn’t been 24 hours since I finished it but i already forgot the characters names.

boring show, nothing special going for it. In my humble opinion, you’re better off skipping this one.

Not Recommended

Well, it isn't Kill la Kill, that's for sure. I watched this because it was a short series, mecha and from Trigger, knowing nothing about the source material of Gridman. This isn't the worst anime in the world by far, it's barely watchable. What it does do decently is it's fanservice mecha stuff. It has an interesting dynamic between the main chars, which pushed me to finish it. In the end, a very forgettable anime, but I ended up watching SSSS Dynazenon as well, so I guess there is some charm to its themes and animation.

Animation 7/10
- The standard ... animation is rather basic, but the mecha, fight scenes etc are better.
Sound 7/10
- Decent sound design with the mechs, decent OP/ED.
Story 4/10
- Basic, not unexpected for the kind of series it is.
Characters 5/10
- Mostly bland characters, but there is some interesting development with Akane.
Enjoyment 5/10
- Barely watchable, but I didn't drop it, so there is that.

I can't recommend this to anyone regardless of your interests in mecha or not. This series just doesn't offer enough.
