This show is not Gridman. And it's not trying to be Gridman. It is expanding upon the universe of the 1993 show which was arguably had a lot of weird episodes on it. TRIGGER has finally found its cash cow series, and they're doing a good job milking it so far. And it shows since the studio feels most at home with the amount of transformers references in it. nonchalant character interaction, and giant robots.
And now for that mandatory segment rating.
Story:7
This show is based upon ep 18. It's about the cyber mummy. And it does ties in well with the lore since Dyna dragon was
...
eventually conjured from that event. It's got a good mystery going on whether one of the main cast is the mummy, or a cohort of them. So far it implying them to be the reincarnation of the mummy. And how the rest of the main cast deals with their life dysfunction in a rather unhealthy way. We've yet to see how they progress in their endeavors.
Art:8
typical trigger. Like gridman before, it keeps the sense of weight its had in the fights as a homage to classic toku fights. And they did step it a notch when it came to fight choreography. Also Dynazenon is a great design rehaul to the Dyna Dragon. Sorry god zenon, you're literally an afterthought in your show. But the new designs are definitely more out there starting with the main cast's and the motw really diverse color range(it is a homage to transformers G2)
Sound:8
DYNAZENOOOONNN~ DYNAZENOOOONNNN!!!~
Character:8
Rather typical to your highschool anime. But it's how they interact with the world and each other just feels normal, human. Sure Gauma and the Eugenics are the oddballs but they ann't normal people. And the former is relatively restrained by trigger standards.
Enjoyment:10
It's understandable why this is not very popular among westerners due to cultural norms(seriously why is the west so mechaphobic). But fight scene aside, which I already mentioned on the art. The show has flow and you can get sucked into the characters interactions
So despite my positive review on this show, It's worthless and it's all down to whether you like this style of anime. But it's clearly a show made for Toku Fans. Word of warning for those really liked it. Wait for the reviews of the Toy. GSC had a lot of quality control issues with the gridman toy, so buyers beware.
