| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So they do have school festivals in this show. Now it doesn't feel like this show's setting is much different than our own society. Felt like a buildup episode though as Yuuta continues to have thoughts about the strange events recently. Of course we had to get Gridman appearing at the school too. I have to admit though, the action was exciting in the SSSS.Gridman style. |

| The creators of this show are living the dream. I feel like Akane is competing with someone or something, and Alexis is some kind of a judge. |
 |
| Yo, this episode was so lit, akane got what she deserved, next week's ep is probably going to have go towards some drama stuff by the looks of it... AOTY |
 |
| I love the fact that all the characters aren’t your boring type of chara, while I hate that fack that this is only 12 episodes long. Huge death flag for Rikka |
| as a HUGE Godzilla/Gamera/Monster fan... there should be way more Kaijuu anime... |

| Akane should stick to designing toys in the future. Much better at that than fighting against Gridman and co. |

| Didn't expect them to go Full Power already but that was so epic. I think Calibur is a bit too small though but whatever, Twin Drill Breaker!!! Alexis looked more evil than ever in that last shot and Akane is definetly playing The Sims Kaiju expansion. |
| It steadily carries on being a show I have to force myself and watch, because some moments, shots, particular events belong in something unbelievably amazing and wormed their way into a show this beige. |

Lay off the doujins for a bit. It's not about doujins, friend. This is Trigger-Cuck Studio, you see! With respect to all weird tastes, but I have a bad experience after Franxx, so whenever I see Rikka gets a long with other guys other than Yuta or gives them baths and blushes, I get worried. When she gets a long with Utsumi, I get same feelings.. this is probably a complex caused by previous NTR stories I've unwillingly encountered. I don't know how many times this needs repeating but the train wreck that was Franxx wasn't because of Trigger. I swear people act like Trigger=Franxx. Secondly even if that was the case Gridman doesn't belong to Trigger and the company that does own it is very old school and by the books when it comes to their shows. If you think that Rikka washing a kid's hair or Utsumi apologizing to her is NTR then that sounds like a personal issue. |
| "youthful beautiful" is really my favorite ending this season. Poor depressed Akane, looking forward to her comeback. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| That scene in the bus was quite tense and unsettling. Gridman fully combining with others was epic and really fun to watch. |
| I'm getting so many death flags I wouldn't be surprised if the "world" just restarted/rebooted/whatever at some point. |
 |
 Yes I Do!!! Borr is da best waifu. Rest are just the charas. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Rikka, and Utsumi fought because he wanted to fight Akane, I mean, a declaration of war like that is pretty hype lol, but she didn't because Akane is her friend; but after that scene on the bus things changed. I can only wonder what is going through Rikka's mind right now, with Akane being a 'god' who 'set' her up to never hate her, it's as if she doesn't even have a will of her own, but she does and maybe it's true that she can't hate Akane, but I wonder if it is truly and only because she set her up like this, but well. The Full Power Gridman was so cool! The music playing in the background while the gattai was happening was pretty epic too! I guess that Calibur truly is my favorite out of that quartet too, and fortunately Anti ate something, and Rikka's kindness wasn't for nothing since she was the one he turned to in his hour of need. Akane is pretty deranged though, targeting someone directly over a sandwich or a bump is terrible enough, but she was going to indiscriminately kill a lot of students simply because she didn't like the idea of having a festival, like, chill. |
 |
| I never thought I would enjoy mecha anime. |
 |
| Well we got the Full Power/Golden Gridman way sonner that I was thinking, I hope that they have still something even better for the "Grand finale". Also that "hug" in the bus, ooooh boy such a good material for "fan art" ! |

| Absolutely love this episode. Really wanted Yuta to rip the kaiju model's head off right in front of Akane. Would love to see her reaction. Every scene in this show feels important. At first I was dissapointed it's score is only a 7.1 on here, but then again SAO as an 8 so who give a f*** |
| the gold hair girl from the ending song finally appeared in this episode, so whats her role about？ |
Pledge to protect this smile. |
| That was great. I loved this episode so much and it feels kinda nostalgic to me in a way. The guys cosplaying as girls definitely look... off. |
| So Rikka is a creation of Akane's as well? Oh boy |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Loved the ED sequence. So is Rikka some sort of simulation or bot that Akane created? |
Leonard_Oliveira said: It's all good man.Cabron said: I see what you're saying but not really. It was straight up Might Gaine, right down to the finishing move. I mentioned "Yuusha-Ou GaoGaiGar" because I watched that one and it left a strong impression on me. But you have a good point because I didn't watch "Yuusha Tokkyuu Might Gaine" specifically. But since these "Yuusha" shows from Sunrise are all strongly related by their theme, setting and story flow, someone who didn't watch the exact reference still gets pointed to the right direction in the end. Thanks for pointing out the exact one out. GGG and Might Gaine have pretty much the same piston animation. Anyway here you go: The part where Gridman turns gold is either a reference to Exkaiser or Da Garn. |

| lol this shit looks great like i mean the old one lol, i love that live action one lol |
| This is a scary part: "You cannot hate me, cause I preset you like that. I made you from my monster". and the battle is like GodMars... |
| Cool episode, I liked the fully powered up Gridman ! But somehow, it did not feel as epic as it could (should?) have been ; the fight was short overall. I still can't figure out where they wanna lead us...but it is getting more & more intriguing for sure |
 |
 - Does he look like Rei from Neon genesis? - when Gridman fullpower, it change color in to gold? |
| Now Loading..... |
| The BGM are on point! |
 |
| What a boring action sequence, seriously, it feel so anticlimatic, Anti scene in the shop was the highlight in this ep, the rest is just boring crap. |
| Saw a theory in reddit and I'm plenty sure that something like that will happen with the information that we get: "I think the world we're seeing is Akane's recreation of her school & city from the real world, and the only non-Akane-created people in it are Yuuta, Akane, and Alexis. IRL, she's probably a socially awkward kid with no friends and an obsession with kaiju, and Rikka is probably a kind, outgoing person that Akane looks up to. Hence, when recreating Rikka in whatever kind of pocket universe we're in, Akane made sure that Rikka could never hate her, since IRL she'd be anxious that Rikka wasn't really her friend, since Rikka is IRL more popular than Akane. (And she created everyone else to think she's the most talented and beautiful person in school.) I think it's all headed towards a reveal that Yuuta is in this universe to save Akane and that everyone is worried about her, thus making Akane realize she doesn't need to hide in Alexis's pocket dimension to experience love and friendship, making her ultimately turn against Alexis, who's been amassing an army of her kaiju in order to take over the real world or something." |
| I hate to say this but I'm starting to like this show, love the characters voices, the yakuza loli, Rikka's mom and Akane's VA all did a great job The humor is also getting better I still hate trigger tho for that abomination that is ditf |

| Great episode! I didn’t think we’d get a school festival episode in this show, though. Cool fighting scene again this episode and use of soundtracks in this episode was marvellous too! Some juicy details revealed, more importantly. Rikka programmed me to not hate Akane further hints a myriad of theories and possibilities. Could she have done this to the other two, Yuuta and Utsumi by any chance? Utsumi and Rikka’s little fight was resolved quickly, and nice to see both apologising and then laughing it out. Utsumi’s comment was so on-point though, Borr’s response just nailed it. Yuuta’s plan to transform to Gridman before even the fight to prompt evacuation and minimising their respective sizes proved to be very effective, indeed. Good job, Rikka, for the hint! You aren’t as useless to the Alliance as you think you’re. Her priceless smile at the end suggests that she’s probably over this, so that’s great to see! Anti walking into the shop and just the whole scene was hilarious to me, particularly when Rikka’s mom replies ‘yes’ to Vit’s rherorical question. Too bad Borr, Vit, Max and Calibur can no longer come to school anymore, lol they were even suspected but you really can’t blame the people for misjudging that. Meanwhile, it seems as though Alexis up to no good. All in all, a brilliant and moody episode with pleasing ED visuals! School festivals really ought to be like that, *sigh*. caio_brb said: Saw a theory in reddit and I'm plenty sure that something like that will happen with the information that we get: "I think the world we're seeing is Akane's recreation of her school & city from the real world, and the only non-Akane-created people in it are Yuuta, Akane, and Alexis.

To be frankly honest, these theories seem valid each and every episode! Hints from the Op, ED and minute details from here and there, it really is admirable how people spot these and go on to make relevant theories and predictions based on them. I’m totally sold yet again, lol. |
