| Oh my god, aliens! What a surprise, Trigger! Thank you for the original idea. *sighs* |
 |
| Please, don't act like it was their idea. Take it up with Tsuburaya Productions. |
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| Wow, this battle was less tokusatsu and more Macross/Gundam. I liked it very much. |

| Another fantastic episode. |
| This was a really good episode. Finally Akane went to confront Hibiki. The highest time. It was getting a little bit stale. Akane`s teasing was pretty neat. Fits her character really well. She is just a playful bitch. The awkward scene at the restaurant was well done. Anti get butchered. He deserved it for all this shouting. Seems like Rikka is doing nothing other than listening to music. And showing tighs. Well Trigger is rather well educated when it comes to theirs customers` demands. |
| Ehh, there are huge Kaijus appearing almost every day, killing and reseting the city but they don't believe what Yuta said... I would have given him the benefit of doubt, at least. Also, Utsumi, you should have told him that Akane likes Kaijus and stuff, be a better friend. The battle in the sky was really nice. The story became weirder but it's still interesting at a certain point. |
| Looks like Alexis Kerib is finally doing the thing his own villainous way! And also it looks like Shinjou needs now to step down and join forces with Yuuta and others once she unravels the true colors of the aliens! 5/5. |
 |
| Akane is being played, but why? |
 |
| Here's a crazy idea: aliens are a staple of both Tsuburaya AND Trigger! |
 |
| Really interesting to see Alexis showing up this episode. Also, more trouble again.... This show is starting to remind of Big-O |
 |
| The intrigue advances... Today's kaiju gave me real NGE vibes. I'm sure there was some Angel strikingly similar to that floating satellite... and once again the episode flew by. It's looking more and more like Akane will become something of an ally by the end, but I question the authenticity of these godhood claims. Why can't she create the kaiju if that were the case. Why is the outside help via Alexis required? Also holy shit @ that Akane tease scene in Hibiki's bedroom. wew lad. |

| at this point i just feel bad for Anti other than that i am loving the series more and more great ep btw |
| "one step at a time" |
| Damn impressive, finally some confirmation about quite a lot of things! I do wonder what they will actually do though and why Utsumi Shou is actually holding so much information back... Well let's see what's next! |
 |
| Solid episode, I wonder how Anti being attacked like that will affect the story in some major way |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| It took them long enough to identify the baddie. I just hope Shinjou doesn't turn up to be a victim for deception or something, she should definitely own up for her crimes at the end. First was the mysterious fog, and now a city hanging out like a chandelier, I love the randomness and mystery in this show. |
| This episode proved again that Akane is the best character from Gridman |
 |
| Lots of revelations today and |
| Akane was doing shit cause it bothered her and it was fun, so destroying gridman was reasonable for her at the moment, but now she wants him to join her. So whats the motive now? |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
GemTastical said: So to all my fellow old Gridman/Superhuman Samurai viewers Just how hard did you fanboy when they reached the 'city in the sky'? Because I nearly jumped out of my seat with hype. yes this, exactly this, i got Triggered by the ceiling tho, can't wait until they use the drill to go to space and fight the Ninja Slayer like alien |
 Maybe watching, maybe reading, probably living |
| This method of kaijuu is the same as ultraman story. Maybe Gridman is an modern ultraman. And now god, alien, and human hmm it was strange. Let see how it goes. |
| I wouldn't have minded if Alexis killed him in the end tbh, Anti-kun is annoying. |
| It really hurt to see how much his friends doubted him with his story. With all the crazy shit they've been through already, you'd think they'd be more willing to trust him. Especially since Utsumi found out about Akane liking kaiju recently to back up his claims. I wonder where the plot's gonna go now since both sides discovered the others' secret identity |
| Them not believing hibiki pisses me off. Great friends they are. Akane is scary... |
| You can't have mecha without aliens. Pretty good episode, shit's starting to go down. I can understand why Rikka and Utsumi didn't believe Yuuta since Rikka wants to be friends with her again and Utsumi is simping, but it do be annoying though. Damn, what kind of sky city is that. Are they all even real, like what even is real lmao, it's really cool though. Akane hugging that pillow is making me feel things. Alexis is now making his move, wonder what his goals are. |
 |
| Why were the others doubting Yuuta at the beginning? They live in a world chock full of supernatural occurrences, and Yuuta is clearly the honest type. Speaking of Yuuta, I don't understand why he didn't just beat Akane to death in the bedroom. If she's the source of the kaiju and every other problem facing their world, then that was the best opportunity to take her out of commission. It could be Yuuta is your typical saintly protagonist who is categorically against killing, but that pacifistic philosophy isn't going to cut it here, since Akane thinks nothing of killing him and everyone else on the planet purely out of spite. |

| Honestly, Akane is the star of this show right now. Take her out of the equation and this is just a kiddy show without any particular flavor to it, yet how twisted she has become does make for a change on what would otherwise be a very boring "monster of the week" mecha anime. I like mecha, but this isn't it, I like COOL mecha fights like Gundam, TTGL, NGE and even what you see on FMP IV or Sidonia, those here are so weak (I know Trigger can do better). Akane and Anti are carrying the anime so far for me, kinda disappointed in Rikka cuz I thought she would help carry this show a bit more. I also dont dislike at all those suggestive Akane scenes, she is doing them on purpose because she is a very mischievous girl, and if this anime actually focused more on romance and the ship was Akane x Yuuta, with the twist of her being like this, but maybe a bit more yanderish and possessive, I would have enjoyed this way more. Akane >> Rikka, so far. Pity. |

Reply to RobertBobert
This show was originally childish, but it starts to bother me how eccentric it becomes from time to time.
| @RobertBobert And it is at those moments that it becomes much better of a show. |
|
| Sky Gridman fucking siiiiiiiiiiick also intense plot development |
| Finally, Sky Vitter! Coolest combination and action so far. Lol, the way Akane teased Yuuta while asking him to join her. Silly girl, I love her. |
