Lol amusing episode.

The guys and girls actually go outdoors for a little trip. No wonder there's more fan service than usual with the swimsuits. Too bad there's still trouble as usual. I find this show's character interactions to be strange at times but kinda works in regards to the unusual humor still.

Gridman just can't catch a break no matter where he is.

This was a nice fanservice episode, but the art was off at times, Akane looked fine, tho :P

The action and Buster Gridman were cool too.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Obligatory onsen or beach episode replaced with rafting episode. Well done Trigger. And Akane, wooh, that girl has some curves on her.

My dislike for white hair screamer cliché boy knows no bounds. Someone please shut him up or at least turn his volume down.

I was like "Damn, i though those would be drills, what a shame"

Borr: "I didn't even get a chance to show off the drill"

I knew they wouldn't let me down.
Also, other people are not forgetting it? Or will the memories reset when they go to sleep or something...

I think it's always the next day. In some other episode I remember Rikka talking with her mother over phone after fight ended and confirming that she is ok.

Alright, i understand.
The girls in bikini were the most striking feature this time around, but are we going to ignore what happened in the last seconds of the episode, with the mountains and the landscape crushing/disappearing after all the characters went home...?

Are we watching an imaginary world created by Akane (Probably) or Rikka (Maybe)?

So I guess this was the "mandatory beach episode", huh. I mean, it had swimwear, fanservice, and exposed skin, so it was close enough if you ask me. I really liked the touch of Utsumi being "pudgy", it was cute, since the main characters somehow always have killing bodies with abs, it was refreshing. Calibur, and his friends having to the take the Junk to the scene was nice too; just like the Kaiju. I'm no Tokusatsu expert, but this one had a different feel to it, and it wasn't only because of its size, I don't know, it was like a colossal, primitive beast, it was really cool. Anti also cares about Akane despite her abuse, and she got Yuuta with the transforming bit. At least she is convinced that it is him, the story is certainly progressing.

Was really interested in that split second vision Yuta had, looks like he/Gridman were defeated in a pretty bad way sometime in the past.

Rewatch the beginning of the first episode when Akane is looking up, that might explain his amnesia.
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process.
Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers.

Have to say after watching episode 1 I wasn’t impressed but after giving it another chance this show has moved into my top 4 this season. Gridman only gets better after each episode and the art and animation is amazing as usual from Trigger.

Classic beach episode. The episode was pretty okay but it is obvious right now that they need to do something new next time. 10 minutes SoL followed by Gridman owning Kaiju with an extension is getting stale. We need a twist soon.

The ending was kind of interesting. Hopefully we gonna progress with a plot. We got the introduction and the beach episode, we need to progress with the plot now.

okay so what do you call the start of this episode? Trigger, the meme studio of inconsistency. Anyways, episode was fanservicey as fuck this week. The action was rather tame as well.

Someone need to make a Vince McMahon Reaction meme for this episode. Akane in bikini, all girl in bikini, those interesting camera angle, the fight action, etc. It just get better and better.
I love that they throw in some little funny thing in every shot.

Poor kaiju boy tried so hard to impress Akane. Act cool by throwing Akane the scarf but it smelled bad.

It was Tsuburaya who was opposed to the "unauthorized" works being made, not Trigger. Even then, those guidelines seemed to be a couple of years old and more in regards to their tokusatsu stuff.
