After watching some of the other original anime of 2018, I finally got across to watching SSSS. Gridman. Going into the show, I heard of all the praise, so I expecting something truly great. I think my expectations were a little high, but do not get me wrong, I still I found the series to be entertaining.
I found that the most entertaining points of the series were the visuals and some of the characters. The visuals especially during the fight scenes were well done. The animation tended to be on point for the most part, specifically during the fight scenes. Some of the characters were good. The main characters Rikka, Akane, and Anti were the best in the series. Akane specifically stands out as the most interesting character in the show. The music was alright, with some stand out tracks such as the opening song. Besides these positives, the show did have some issues.
As mentioned previously, there are some good and bad characters. One of the worst characters was the main protagonist/hero, Yuta. I just found him to be severely uninteresting and cliched. My other problem with the series, was with the action scenes. The action scenes lacked a sense of stake. I won't go to in depth, so that I do not spoil anything, but I never really felt that anyone was in real danger during the fights. The show starts averagely and ends messily. Though, the episodes around 4- 11 get progressively more interesting.
SSSS. Gridman is a fun anime series with nice visuals, some good characters and an interesting plot/story, but there are some cliched characters and a lack of stakes. I advise those to watch the series if they enjoy action, mecha, adventure, or science fiction anime.
Started watching recently and i must say its really amazing as anime!! Gridman was a live action series in 90's but now its revived as anime in 2018 and i must say it was worth a wait!! i would recommend that you should all give it a try! great great visuals, bgm hence everything is perfect! yes! tsuburaya is back on buisness!!!
At first, SSSS. Gridman was not well received by the public. Many of the superficial aspects, in my opinion, put off viewers, especially considering how plodding and formulaic the first few episodes were. However, the show's real content kept us watching week after week as it started underway, and it eventually became not just one of my favorite shows of the season but the entire year.
Gridman is a dangerous hybrid of genres that juxtaposes massive mecha battles with what appears to be regular school life. The former defies popular perceptions of mecha animation and is probably the reason the program is regarded as sluggish. Nevertheless, these two very different parts of the world strangely complemented one another, with the action sequences' catharsis being fueled by the tension of everyday life. This assessment will concentrate on the more commonplace stuff because that appears to have received the greatest criticism.
I'll quickly discuss the show's treatment of homage. I believe that a large portion of the criticism directed towards the show stems from its excessive use of allusions to other television programs; in fact, Obari Masami, the animator of the first Gridman, expressed dissatisfaction over the show's lack of originality. Having said that, I don't mind at all since these references provide fanservice to the original film's audience and don't interfere with the plot. In addition, how angry can I really be since every character design is inspired from a Transformers obscure series? That is so cute.
Finally, Gridman is just all around fantastic. Because of the first unfavorable reviews, if you've been hesitant to see Gridman, I'd say it's worth a go. Although I'm still not quite sure why so many people in the community dislike this show, I thought it was fantastic and I really hope more people would give it a shot.

This anime put you in the shoes of the artiest AND it is fresh to see something that you don't see this before. Animation is one of best and ground-breaking. It just perfect.
Other thing look very generic first and by the way if I say anything about this anime it spoil the freshness. Just I like to say anime GOD is something you never see before and that way it behave is something else this type of character I never see before.

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.
