Retolee said: Yeah, that's super robot/tokusatsu shows for you. Repeated animations comes with the territory.Nice, we finally got an episode bad enough for me to justify dropping it. Even ignoring the plot, the repeated animations and off model proportions are getting pretty lame. Not sure about the off model proportions, mind showing some images? thiago52192 said: You might as well drop it now my dude.Another episode, and I still can't see how people are enjoying this. Sure, the characters are great, and seeing them interacting is pretty fun (and since this episode focus more on the characters than the previous ones, I upgrade from 4 to 5), but that's about it. The lack of soundtrack on normal moments makes everything look tedious, even if you try to watch this like a drama. And when the soundtrack finally kicks in, it's just a generic childish music that just make you want to have silence again. The story so far is really boring, trying to make some mysteries that look more like lazy writing (most of those mysteries are probably never gonna get a solution, they're just there to make some situation happen on the show). And I can't watch those fight scenes without rolling my eyes. You should already know what you're getting into when it comes to super robot/tokusatsu shows. |

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| I don't know what people were expecting going into this. To the people crying about how it's boring, did you just see Trigger's name slapped on and assumed it'd be another Kill La Kill or something? It's a toku show with a typical toku formula. As a fan of the genre it genuinely pisses me off how little respect the western fandom has for it. Thankfully Japan is loving this show and it's eclipsing basically every other show this season in terms of popularity and sales over there. |

And I can't watch those fight scenes without rolling my eyes. Grew up on Power Rangers and Godzilla. Collect Godzilla, Gamera, and Ultraman. This show us for people who love tokusatsu. It does a lot ofnthese things intentionally. For me, nostalgia makes it a hit. This episode wasnt as strong as the last, but I still enjoyed it. I think if Akane can be saved, it will be by Rikka. Rikka clearly wanted to hang out with Akane more than the rest, but Akane let the others get her aggitated. Gotta save her with the power of friendship and all! |
 |
| this anime is trash and the only reason im watching it is cus rikka and akane are fucking disgustingly hot and have too much fan art but this episode was actually good and the potential romance might actually make the anime worth it plus it was properly executed, when a guy likes a unreasonably hot girl he gets depressed and feels bad cus shes too hot to exist and then he hopes something happens and she notices him which is basically how the guy in this anime reacted, it's totally realistic |
lots of music -  |
| This episode automatically wins because GUNBUSTER REFERENCE but even then it was a great one. |
| The Lightning Kick was dope af I really enjoy this Anime so far, even if it feels like every other Mecha-Anime and has nothing special to it |
 |
| Akane is such a nice antagonist (villain?). I really hope for some cheesy development where she joins good guys. I'd hate to see her killed. I mean... This. |
| This show made me miss the days in high school... I am getting old... |
CHC said: ex_necross said: Goblin Slayer receives much more hate than this show, and I'm pretty sure that Gridman is more popular in Japan. MAL ratings literally mean nothing. Also, if you care about MAL ratings, Goblin slayer is dropping and Gridman is rising, and by the end of the season I'm pretty sure Gridman is gonna be a mid 7 and goblin slayer a low 7, or maybe even high 6. Of course, Goblin Slayer doesn't deserve half the hate it gets in the West. Lots of loud and angry SJWs. A lot of people make their seasonal choice based on MAL rating. If it has a low rating, then thing gets harder for it to reach a broader audience, which means studio that's making good stuff will be earning less than studio that's making shit, and so we will be seeing more and more similar shit being produced because they are rewarded by the market. People on MAL have zero percent impact on how much a studio makes. |
| Okay not bad this series is getting better and its growing on me despite this though I still don't like the MC [=_=] |

| I didn't expect Yuta to actually ask Rikka out and say something stupid resulting in comedic scene. But I guess the relationship has still returned to status quo because of Yuta being wage and Rikka being dense. |
| An enjoyable episode. If they are going to mantain this quality with the further episodes I am more than sure that I would be satisfied. But this is Trigger so they gonna change it soon into something crazy. Hopefully this time with an decent ending. The stupid youtubers got smashed. Maybe a little too brutal, but there should be some punishment for most of the youtubers/influencers. Their impact on society is worse than black death. Pluging in and pluging out the computer always work. Those guys really need a SSD disk. The piece of junk won`t make it. Samurai Caliber the best boi. His scenes are actually a good comedy parts. Thikka should already find out that Akane is a little bit equivocal. |
if i had to describe this anime so far withing two defining words then this would be my choice. |
| "among monsters and humans, there are only two types. Those who undergo suffering and spread it to others. And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus  |
| The legs of Rikka is such EROS! at scene 05:14! DAYUM! w0w! all four of them tried to helped but it overloaded and crashed just like a computer! lolz! 4/5. |

| Still nicely made, but the only thing I am starting to like is Anti's running gag. (oh, and this time, I could catch the reference picture, this one being from Gunbuster) 3/5 Let's wait up to the md-series roundabout/revelation. Aren't they a bit too young for that? XD (especially in a japanese TV show) @FMmatron What's this trendy obsession of the characters legs? o_O FMmatron said: @Rei366 Well, this series is not just about mecha fanservice :P If you're already buffled by it now, then I dare you to watch the next episode. I meant the obsession for legsamong the viewership(on this website). XD |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| This show needs a GIGA DRILL BREAKER!!!! |

Recondito said: First thing first, the important stuff (Pretty spoiler tag to keep things clean). So glad we are getting more and more of Akane's feet and Rikka's thighs hehe. Man of a culture I see |
| Can't wait for the inevitable pc building episode yayyy |
| I'm starting to love these characters more and more. |
| I liked this episode. It's slowly becoming in an enjoyable show although there are some characters I find a bit annoying like Utsumi and Akane. Well, actually I'm finding the latter a bit more enjoyable to watch too... so yeah, Utsumi is the only one I dislike, for some reason. That aside, I see Yuta is having some feeling for Rikka and I can't really blame him, I like her character a lot too. Not to mention that her way of fixing that junk was funny despite of Utsumi's complains. Calibur being awesome as always while looking for Rikka was also a nice part xD Overall, it was a good ep. although I'm expecting a bit more of development regarding the story like knowing why Yuta lost his memories, why Akane can create Kaijus and stuff like that. Maybe Akane is not like this and she has been controlled all this time by that "robot" in her computer, I don't know. |
| Pure gold, really lovely episode! Almost a shame we didn't see the full combine yet! But I really hope we'll see that in later episodes. Up to the next episode. |
 |
| I really like how the computer being crap was the reason they can't all get together at the moment, glad this series gives an explanation of why rather than just always having the plot hole that why didn't they all just help him in every fight |
| “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 |
| Akane got no chill, and it's hurting the tights. I know because I have an episode of Miru Tights to watch after this. If she can turn any carving into a Kaiju then those at her room are a lot of Yuta alone to handle |
Nurguburu said: This episode was very boring. At least Akane is fun. This episode was indeed very boring Considered dropping this one |
| HAHA, they were singing a 1993 Gridman song at the karaoke called Futatsu no Yuuki. A version with lyrics. Nice easter egg. Junk can't handle all of that foursome action. And I really feel bad for Anti. |
| Love the jealousy in this episode, my boy needs to stop being a pussy and just tell her how he feels in a lowkey way to not seem like a creep, but that invitation to dinner was a good start. Though what will happen when his memories come back? Like the dude probably liked someone else. Can't have that, best to keep the feeling locked up until you know who tf you are lolz though then again this is his new self. anyways I'm really starting to enjoy this series.. Love rikka and the lowkey fanservice. |
 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. |
| Well I'm enjoy this episode but idk what will happen. I mean they are in the same school but the other they are fight each other. This plot seems odd but the mecha and the other stuff was fine. Tbh I disagree with school,slice of life compared with mecha and robotic stuff. But still can enjoy enough. This is what we call Free For All match. |
| I very much prefer the SoL moments to the mecha fighting, wish there were more of that. A beach episode maybe? With Akane maybe? :> |
| There's definitely some history between Rikka and Akane. I wonder if it's related to why Akane became so messed up. |
| Akane is psychotic. Don't like that the romance/crushes was so quick. Also lol, how is half the city not dead with them stomping everywhere. |
StardewMar 12, 2021 12:57 AM
| Props to Yuuta going for them thighs, but Rikka is a little dense lmao. Good episode, knew those college kids bout to die when they start pissing of Akane. I wonder why Anti wants to kill Gridman though. |
 |
| Lol, the pc lagged XD We got some smol romance goin on here huh, I hope something happens. The characters are pretty interesting so far. |

| how unfortunate that 3 out of the 4 died all because they pissed off akane, whose room is littered with garbage bags. are they all her junked kaiju replicas or something? |
       |
| Yeah, another pretty solid episode but I'd say the third is the best so far. The kick looked cool, some good dialogue bits as well. |

Trigger what were u cooking   |
