Anime Relations: SSSS.Gridman
This is the Five-hundred-and-thirtieth week of using the "Perfect Anime Girl Sheet". Notice: This Blog may contain Unmarked Spoilers.

Welcome back everyone. Last week we narrowly defeated Akane's villainous crab Kaiju, and now she's come forth to confront us herself!

: Watch out for boxcutters, Topaz.

: No no, I am not about to do something like that. Besides, I'm probably not strong enough to defeat Topaz in one hit so I'll have to take his retribution.

Good to see that we have a villain that's giving herself up. What a relief in this cold weather.

: At least the blog isn't as cold as it is where you are now.

I know! It's so frigid that the schools have taken off. I mean, I'm not complaining about being able to sleep in, but the cold is still extremely horrible!

: Aam nae able tae believe it can gie much colder than thes!

: I agree, especially since the blog is already so cold.

Maybe it wouldn't be as cold as it is if you didn't tear a hole in the roof!

: Look at it on the bright side; at least it wasn't our house again.

True. That kitchen has seen plenty of foes crash through it.

: Sae if ye arenae gonnae barnie, whit ur ye haur fur?

: Well, I wanted to see Topaz up close before I actually fight him. I'll even be gracious enough to let you blog me!

That's a relief, as most villains wouldn't agree to being talked about.

: Though it's not unheard of. I just hope that Akane isn't planning something evil.

: What? Me? Do something evil? Oh ho ho, surely you jest.

That's right. Without her computer and boxcutter I don't think that Akane has much that she can do.

: You've said that before, but then a girl like Chitoge surprises you with a mind-control gauntlet or something.

: Fa is thes "Chitoge" lassie?

Chitoge is a former villain and a truly horrible one. Though being fair she also had the strength of a gorilla. And, considering how Nisekoi ended, the stench of one too.

: We had to bring her to justice for her mafia means too.

: Soonds trooblesome. Ah ken whit it's loch tae nae ken a majur cover-up...

: Enough jabbering about former villains, Topaz! The one right in front of you is getting impatient!

Oh yeah, we probably should get started, shouldn't we. Well then, let's take a look at a certain villainous meganekko and say that...

Today's girl is:



Akane Shinjou
from
SSSS.Gridman


: W-wait, “Meganekko”? She's not wearing glasses.

That is a good point. Especially as she is wearing them in the blog even if I hadn't mentioned it.

: That's because MAL has so few pictures of me. They really needed one of me in glasses...

I agree, and me being too lazy to find one and use it is completely understandable as well.

: At leest she has a body picture. A lot ay burds dornt e'en hae 'at.

: Right, like with the poor Pastel girls, or with PriChan.

In fairness a lot of shows for young girls need more love, especially from Western fans.

: What, like PreCure?

The good ones certainly, but not the ones that get oddly popular. Like the latest season of SJW Cure. Let's hope that Star Twinkle does better.

: I agree, as they need to make up for not just one but two mediocre series...

*Akane then stomps forward and loudly. She then clears her throat.*

: A-HEM! This isn't a soapbox for young girls shows. It's supposed to be about ME!

Yes yes, I understand. Sorry as it's hard to notice you when you're not wearing your glasses.

: And whose fault is that?

: MAL's for not having a picture of you in glasses. I mean, Topaz could have added one, but with as busy as his week was I suppose that he's excused.

: But he hud nae wark. Whit did he hae tae dae?

...I'm cold.

: While the temperature is very cold, it doesn't give you an excuse for the blog! You need to work harder, and not be like a Gigant Axe!

I imagine that reference will go over everyone's head. But enough dilly-dallying, it's time to get to the blog!

==Head==
===Hair===
Akane has a pretty good head of hair. It's a nice light purple color, though it would be better if it was darker. She also has a nice bob cut, though that does mean that her hair isn't even shoulder length which is unfortunate. Though I do like bob cuts, but not enough to save her too well here. Her bangs are pretty long, reaching her eyes and looking somewhat blunt at first (though sadly they are not). It's a shame that the best advantage Akane has is in her real-life counterpart who I think has black hair, but I can't be sure as we don't get too good a look at her. Overall Akane has a lot of places that could be better here, but she still has a cute hairstyle even with the issues I have with it.
Grade: B-

===Eyes===
Akane also has some problems here, or at least for my tastes. She does have a tarame, and her eyes are red. Fortunately her eyes go nicely with her hair somehow, and in general I'm seeming to like red eyes a lot more than I once did. Even with a tarame Akane still has some nice emphasis on her upper lid with some short eyelashes as well, which I do like. The pupil effect is cool too, even if it isn't too noticeable in the anime outside of closeups (which Akane does get a few of). The art style is really nice in general. Finally, we can't forget about Akane's glasses. She sadly doesn't wear them in school but for an occasional meganekko she does get a lot of scenes with them on (even if most are at her house). Her glasses have a nice pink underframe, though it wraps around a good amount of her lens and is only missing the some of the top portion. Her glasses are also pink which looks similar hair (though the glasses are a brighter color). Akane's glasses also have a bit of personality as the right lens is cracked, and they are also tinted yellow a little (presumably so that she can spend more time on her computer). Overall Akane's eyes and glasses go together surprisingly well and helped me like her more.
Grade: A-

===Face===
The art style in Gridman is a really good one, with soft features and a simple facial structure. This is good news for Akane, as she has a small nose and features which I like. Though it does seem bigger from the side, but that's not seen too often. She also has rounded features including her chin and cheeks which are nice. She also has a good amount of cute or cool expressions, which is good. That said, she does get blood on it for the penultimate episode (though not hers, it's because she attacks the lead). Overall Akane has a really great face, and the art style helps this making it probably her strongest point.
Grade: A



==Body==
===Build===
In fairness Akane's main issue here will be discussed in the next area. Other than being mamocentric she does have a pretty good body, even if it isn't as focused on or memetic as her costar Rikka is. We get a lot of shots of her in the infamous beach episode, where she shows off her nice waist and navel. She also has a good ass close-up when she sits down, but that doesn't counter all the chest shots she got there (as nice as her ass looks). Fortunately fanart helps slightly, even if that too is mamocentric as a whole. Oh, and also Akane once kicked the computer and gave a close up of her foot, though I'm not a foot guy. Overall she does look good, but Akane's main trouble starts in the next area.
Grade: B

===Chest===
Akane is very busty and tends to have mamocentric scenes forced on her. I suppose that at least Rikka is there to counteract her, but the poor girl couldn't do anything to stop the swimsuit episode. Akane main issues come from that episode, where she often shows off her chest and even carries her phone in her top. She also presses her chest against her companion Anti when he rescues her piggyback, among other scenes I'm probably forgetting. Sadly her chest is also focused on in art, both official and otherwise, which is a major problem as Akane really deserved better. Fortunately outside this episode and official art issues Akane is busty but doesn't show off too much. At least as far as I can remember, though even then that doesn't fix her issues. This is definitely her worst area.
Grade: D+

===Clothes===
Akane has a fair variety of clothes, even if she tends to wear her uniform. It consists of a white shirt and black skirt, though Akane also has a baggy purple jacket that hangs off her shoulders. How it stays up I'm not sure, but the sleeves are long so that might be a way. She also wears a pink bow around her collar as well as pantyhose, which is always a good choice for schoolgirls. She also wears headphones at home, reminding me of Sonico a little. Sadly we don't get to see Akane crossdressing during the school festival since it would have been better than seeing the guys, especially Yuuta as he got a lot of bad fanart as a result. During the swimsuit episode Akane wears a very skimpy white tied bikini with frills, showing off a lot of her chest. She does eventually get Anti's scarf and puts it on around her neck, looking cute. Finally, in official art she wears a blazer uniform with a sweater underneath. Overall Akane's outfits are somewhat boring, mainly as far as either being mamocentric or school uniforms, but the uniforms are at least cool-looking with some uniqueness, and pantyhose always helps. Oh, and it seems that there's an official image on the website with her in a Gridman purple shirt, as well as her skirt and pantyhose.
Grade: B

*Akane is in shock at the scores she's been getting. She waves her arm cutely in anger, as if pointing at all the points in the air he got wrong.*

: WHAT THE? I should have gotten far better scores everywhere! Have you seen how great my fanart is?

I have, but I doubt that “great” would be the word I'd use for it. Most of it takes after your terrible mamocentric scenes, and that poisoned you for most of the series.

: At least it gives proof that breasts are evil and asses are good.

Hey now. Rikka also has good thighs. So both asses and thighs are good, even if the former is superior and sexier.

: I can't believe that you like Rikka over me too! I thought that being a meganekko would give me more advantages!

I do like you more, but that doesn't mean that your body scores well. After all, you were very selfish during the swimsuit episode and Rikka barely got any ass shots. And the ones she got weren't as focused as your chest ones.

: Tae hink 'at Topaz woods gie in an argument loch thes...

: Fair point. But I think that it helps that he's very supportive of his friends.

That's right! I mean, if it was just fanart that had issues it wouldn't be as bad but there were some pretty bad scenes that inspired it.

: You need to stop blaming me for them!

: And besides, I think that you really did enjoy them...

Shhh, that doesn't need to get out.

*Akane looks sly and approaches Topaz.*

: Oh I see. You're trying to defend your desires to your friends. I shouldn't be surprised, being that you're so selfless.

What are you getting at?

: You know that YOU can have some fun yourself too, right? You don't just have to focus on your friends. Give into your desires!

: Don't listen to her, Topaz! She's a villain and is trying to seduce you!

: That's right, but I imagine my busty body is far easier to seduce Topaz with than your bony yet nice ass body!

: Can we please gie back tae th' main point awreddy? thes barnie is useless an' will jist gie topaz in mair trooble.

I agree with Maiko!

: Wait, you can understand that gibberish? No matter. I want to tease Topaz directly, and there's nothing that you can do to stop me!

So this is the “fight” you were promising. I can't say I'm too impressed.

: You'll be more impressed once I unbutton my shirt and show off. Then I'll undo your pants and show you some fun “early pies”...

Early pies?

: Apparently she got confused or something. She must mean paizuri, though I sure hope not. (Why does Topaz like something that sick and disgusting anyway? A-and it's not just because I can't do something like that, as I totally can and it would feel better than her over filled sandbags!)

: That's right. You were complaining about being cold earlier, right? Well, I know just the way to warm you up-FRICTION!

: Dornt faa fur 'er feminine wiles!

: It's too late for that, as Topaz will obviously-MMMPHH!

*He presses his hand against Akane's face, pushing her to the side and making her look comedic. He even pins her against a nearby wall.*

Well, I'm certainly not going to do something like THAT. But meet me after the blog...

: Did you just whisper something, Topaz?

Don't be ridiculous. That must just be the sound of Akane struggling and mumbling while she tries to get free. And hopefully she'll get her revenge later by pinning me against the wall and milking me dry with her paizuri.

: Huh... I still suspect something...

Well then, how about we look at what's happening with another blogger...

: You're finally going to give Zettai his gift then?

Not yet. His homage blog is next week, and he'll hopefully enjoy that. But still, last week was his anniversary, or was it the week before? I'm not sure, but hopefully he still enjoys his fun!



==Mind==
===Personality===
Akane is a little difficult to describe. On the outside, to the other characters, she seems like a perfect and popular student with an attractive body (why Rikka doesn't get that kind of attention I'm not sure, but at least our world prefers her). However, she's actually an antisocial person who hates other people. In fact, she works with Alexis the not-Over Justice to create Kaiju to attack the city. Luckily more friendly Kaiju seems to repair the buildings, but not the people she tries to kill. Yes, Akane is a very petty person who attempts (and succeeds, at least at first) to kill people at the smallest slight. Then again we later find out that she's basically a god that created everyone in the town, so essentially they're little more than toys to her. She also makes them like her, and since the issues are more like bugs or glitches in her “perfect” world she “corrects” them. Though I would say that at first I was thinking that she had little empathy for others instead, but I like where they went with this more. Still, being this powerful leads Akane to have a crisis of “faith”, as she's not sure where the heroes own personalities start and where the ones she created for them end. In addition, Akane seems like a hikkikomori, as her room is filled with garbage and Kaiju figures. Oh, and she's also a major Kaiju fan, even if she wants the monsters to win. Overall she's an interesting character and is a good villain, even if some of her actions seem a little over the top (like stabbing Yuuta outright). She also has a nice voice, being done by Reina Ueda who has also done Lily from Aikatsu Stars or Jasmika from Little Witch Academia. Lily is funny as Rikka's VA did Mahiru from the same show, so it's like Zettai and my favorites swapped voices in comparison.
Grade: B+

===Libido==
Akane's libido is pretty complicated. Sadly despite making Anti and being his boss she doesn't do much with him. She only takes him out when she thinks he succeeded in defeating Gridman, and otherwise treats him poorly. A shame as I would have like the combination of Akane and Anti, who is a shota. Yuuta, the main guy, is also somewhat young-looking and Akane does seem to have a connection to him. She even waits in his house for him to return, though I suppose that might be a little scary. Also scary is that she decides to cut out the Kaiju middleman once she finds out he's Gridman and stabs him outright with her boxcutter. She also has some shipping with Shou, but other than bonding over Kaijus and hinting that she's on the side of Kaijus nothing much comes out of it. Probably Akane's best connection, at least as far as the show goes, is her and Rikka. The two hang out together and Akane seems to really want her friend's attention. It's also Rikka who eventually breaks her out of her funk as well as the one to say the last goodbye. Akane likes Rikka so much that she went to a mixer with her and her friends, meeting four college guys. Even if Akane didn't want to talk to them it seemed. Overall there's a lot of libido here, and despite being very mamocentric she seems alright with showing off as well as physical contact such as slapping Shou's belly in the swimsuit episode.
Grade: B

===Age===
I'm not sure how old Akane is. She seems to be a teenager, and is about in high school though even that I can't be too sure about. Especially because, as mentioned before, she's a god. Though I do suppose that in the “real” world she has an actual age that's different from the age shown in the anime, but I don't know how well I can count that... Still, for being about high school age Akane gets a fair score here.
Grade: B

Total Grades: 72
Average score: 8.0
Final Grade: B

*Now that the blog is done Topaz frees Akane, who pouts cutely from being held in place. She even has steam coming off.*

: Harumph! Now I'm really angry at you, Topaz!

: Being fair in this weather steam isn't that impressive. I could breathe and steam would come out.

: Winter weaither is extremely braw...

I agree, but still better than real life. And what do you think you're going to do about it?

: It should be obvious. While I can't make Kaiju I can still BECOME ONE! URAAA!

*With a mighty roar Akane suddenly becomes gigantic. She looms over the heroes, even picking up Topaz.*

Help me! This is a reverse King Kong incident!

: Hopefully she doesn't climb any buildings then. As good a reference that would be you have a reputation of not killing your enemies.

: It's too bad that he can't say the same for your friends! I'll make Zettai in particular threaten to end himself by putting you where you belong!

What do you mean-WAIT! NO! STOP!

*Akane starts undoing the buttons of her shirt, but a roaring of a pod is heard.*

: Ye arenae gonnae be gettin' Topaz as lang as aam haur!

*Maiko then charges inside her mecha at Akane, but the giant meganekko swats her away. Maiko is sent flying and crashes, with Ririchiyo running over to her aid.*

: MAIKO! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!

: Oh swatch, bonnie kimmers...

*Birds seem to be flying around Maiko's head, but she seems alright. Riri then looks back at Akane, who is terrorizing the city in kaijuu fashion.*

: WAH HAH! Looks like the ONLY girl you did this month was too tired to fight after defeating my crab Kaijuu! How fortunate for me that you have nothing but slice of life girls left!

MMPPHH! I wouldn't underestimate the talents of my girls!

: What do you thing they're going to do? Cute things at me or something-HAH!

*Akane continues to stomp through the town, until she steps on something and it explodes.*

: WHAT THE?! Who would put a tent HERE! And in THIS WEATHER!

: HEY! My second heater! Though I suppose it was fortunate that I wasn't inside that tent when it burst into flames either. But now how am I going to camp?

: You idiot! You can't camp in town!

*Akane starts to chase Chiaki, who is running with a goofy face. The giantess nearly catches up, but hears someone on a nearby building.*

: You're a fool if you think that I'm from a “slice of life”. Isn't that right, Sagara?

: Hmm?

*Chidori smacks him with a fan.*

: Now's the time for your military action to pay off!

: But I don't have the Arbalest.

: That would deal too much damage anyway. We're here to rescue Topaz.

: Affirmative. I shall use reasonable firepower.

*He then aims a rocket launcher at Akane, smacking her a few times. She holds up her arm to protect herself, but ends up dropping Topaz in the process. Chidori hits Sagara again.*

: WAS THAT REALLY NECESSARY?

: It worked...

: Now now, you love birds need to find a better place to fight.

: Q-QUIET!

*Kyouko takes a picture of Sousuke and Chidori, as well as several of Akane. She even sees a girl make an amazing leap and grab Topaz's falling body. The short-haired meganekko rolls on the ground, ending up on one knee. She then puts her hand up against her ear and starts talking to herself.*

: Alright then. Looks like the package has been intercepted peacefully. I shall make my escape with the goods.

You're not really talking to anyone, are you?

: N-not important! I'll still get you to safety.

Actually, can you run me over there?

: A-A LOVE HOTEL? I don't think it's the time for THAT!

NO! Next to it!

*Chio understands and runs towards there. However Akane is still destroying the city.*

: I don't know where you went, Topaz. The smoke from the missiles hid your escape, but I'll just destroy this place until I find you!

NOT IF I GET YOU FIRST!

*A hook of some kind is latched onto Akane's shirt, with a rope leading to Maiko's pod.*

: What's this? That useless not-Scottish girl wasn't knocked out? Oh well, I suppose that I can have a short break.

It's ME!

*Indeed, as since the pod's window is broken it is seen that Topaz is in the seat. Riri has taken Maiko out and has the meganekko on her lap, which makes Topaz jealous. Still, he starts to fly towards Akane.*

I may only have reasonable piloting skills due to my Mimicry, but it's enough to take care of you!

: We'll see about THAT!

*Akane then swings the pod around, much like a shotput. However, she doesn't fully estimate the weight of the pod, and it spins much more than she expected. Topaz of course gets hit with the spinning as well, getting dizzy. She gets wrapped up in the rope of the hook, and as the pod goes higher it eventually smacks into her head and knocks Akane out. She falls down, making a loud impact, and becomes her normal size. Ririchiyo comes over in a panic.*

: T-TOPAZ! You did it! It seems curiosity really was what slayed the beast!

*Topaz steps out of the pod and puts his finger up as if to speak, but vomits rainbows instead. Fortunately the camera cuts to Riri, who understandably looks very grossed out. Fortunately Topaz stops puking shortly.*

Er, sorry about that...

: You should be sorry. That was disgusting.

What, the vomiting or Akane trying to shove me into her giantess chest?

: Both. Thought the latter will likely cause the former. But now that she's been defeated can we go back to what we were doing?

Certainly! Though I hope that Maiko is alright with us ruining her pod...

: Dinnae fash yerse, th' government will tak' caur ay it.

I can only hope. They've been shut down for so long.

: Because of the terrible president or because of the cold?

Yes. But I suppose that it's time to talk about next week's blog!

: It's the first week of February, which means that it'll be Zettai's homage blog, right?

That's right! And I hope that he likes the girl I chose.

: Well, since you did Akane this week it would only make sense to do Rikka next time! She had her big memetic ass, after all. (I wish my ass was more memetic..).

That would be a good suggestion, but I'm not sure if he'll pick her as his fall TDB. I don't want to step on his toes, especially as he might do her in February too.

: So does that mean that you're doing a girl that he's already talked about then?

That's right! But don't worry, as she's still got a sexy famous ass. Even if sadly not as famous as Rikka's.

: Don't leave me hanging then! Give me another hint.

Swords.

: T-that's it? That's a boring hint, and tells me almost nothing!

I mean, what better way to describe her than just saying “Swords”? I mean, she uses other weapons too, but mostly swords.

: Wait... that does sound a little familiar...

That's right, as we'll be taking a look at a certain fundoshi girl! I do hope that Zettai ends up liking it though...
