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.

I thought this episode is going to be meh but I was wrong.


Honestly this series is one of my personal favorites this season! Despite not being talked about a lot or loved by the community.

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)?

The transformation in this episode reminded me of Optimus Prime and Jetfire combining in Transformers Armada..... Good times

The long awaited and obligatory swimsuit episode and it didn't disappoint!

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.

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.

Finally Borr is the star of the battle. Damn how much I love her chara. And those fan service moments and angles were the highlights of the episode.

This episode was way more uneasy than swimsuit episode has any right to be. After kaiju appeared episode's direction seamed like it is constantly is omitting something. This surreal atmosphere remained even after kaiju was defeated. It was interesting episode however in the end I feel like I was cheated out of something important.

Maybe another (more clear) dream sequence would have helped. Tho be honest I was expecting one when Yuta was sleeping in the train on the ride back home.

Today's episode was dedicated to the spectacular bodies of Akane and Rikka in swimsuit and I am very grateful, thanks Studio Trigger.
Yuta's dream gave as some clues about his memories or past battles.
Rikka and Akane in swimsuits was glorious.
Rikka's friends made fun of poor Utsumi, but the lucky one was touched by Akane, the boy was in heaven.
Is amazing the perseverance and loyalty of Anti, also his ability to copy the attacks of Gridman is cool.
The Kaiju of today was incredibly impressive, the best was when Borr and Gridman got together and they combine in Buster Gridman, Borr's drills fulfilled the mission, besides the small Borr presuming is very funny.

Was thinking the same thing, those 6 lights are definitely Yuta, Gridman and the Assist Weapons.

Panning still shots of teens in swimsuits. I know I've come to expect this in anime, and I get annoyed by it every time. Either be a fanservice show or don't be, but suddenly shoving tits for one episode when the plot starts to get dull comes off as lazy.

I do like most Trigger shows, and don't even hate fanservice, but beach episodes are always a bad sign imo.
