It seems that this series focuses more on the problems of each character.

Why???? I wish it was a normal drama/sol anime. I didn't see the robots coming ugh, and why are the robots and the battle so lame??

Lmao, I honestly thought that Gauma was Yuuta at first. I was thinking, "woah woah woah! What the hell happened to you Yuuta? You look like you have seen hell". But then I heard his name, and relised he was a totally different person. I dunno, I thought Yuuta like 4 years later came to warn about something to the MC at first.

I liked it. All the girls are really cute which is nice. The main character looks like Shido from Date A Live, at least that is who he reminded me of. Really looking forward to this show.

I agree, that OST was fire. Sounds like the OP for Gridman, I think its the same singer too.

This was amazing start. The robot is cool as fuck, epic transformation and great music accompanying it. Character design, atmosphere and direction also great. So far this episode has impressed me more than Gridman's did, I hope it keeps going like this.

I loved this, it’s been a hot minute since SSSS. Gridman, which I loved as well, so I’m very happy this is finally here. I’ve been missing Trigger for a while now too, so that also makes me happy. Already like the characters, the designs are nice, the music is great, kaijus looked cool, I’m super into this lol. The ED was also amazing imo, can’t wait for more.

Why is Trigger doing an SSSS.Gridman all over again... like even the fanfare music is the same but it's shifted up or down a key. I'm not saying that its bad but the only reason why I watched Gridman and Dynazenon was animation, "cinematography" and the abstract concepts that most mech shows have. I'll watch Dyna because there isn't much else out this season and I wanna compare Dyna and Grid. The problem is the mech genre is pretty much dead and this show will basically be forgotten about a week after its run. Wish Trigger would attempt something more medium/long term.

I can say for certain, that this series's start hooked me faster than gridman, the characters are already very likeable and their designs are beautiful, the animation is amazing, with what seems to be like an even improved use of CGI, from my point of view.

Wasn't expecting that amount of hate lmao.

Anyways, Yomogi is so cute that him alone is enough for me to watch the anime, kinda the same that happened with Yuuta and SSSS.Gridman but at the end I ended disliking him. Still Yomogi is cuter than Yuuta and his design somehow resembles to Ohto (Wonder Egg)

Since I'm at the second anime of this "world", that I just noticed, the main storyline is any good? Cuase I've read that this and Gridman were spin offs.

great start I personally really liked Grindman not only for the thigh memes this seems to be more of that wonder where they plan to go with Yume(her being named dream must have some meaning) with how strange she is right now i'm guessing shes the Akane/Rikka of this one


Char designs have been top tier they all stand out even if you can kinda notice some cloning going on lol Gauma got that fresh drip with those shows

Really enjoyed that first episode. Glad I've been rewatching Gridman on Toonami, made me so excited to this this spiritual successor. Looks like it's continuing what Gridman did with the less is more approach, sections with no music, or no talking, etc. I liked that, it adds character to the show.

Really like Gauma too, I feel as though he's going to be the heart and soul of the show. Interested to see how everyone else fits into the story, like Chise and the bowl cut guy.

Can't wait for more!

Same universe as Gridman. Although it's freakin cheap and ripoff to the other mechas, I think this will do. Gonna observe this for a while.

That was a great start, some scenes and character is a bit reminiscent of Gridman which is nice. Character designs really stand out to me.


I have this strange feeling that Yume will become main villain, somehow like Akane...


The ED was nice, performed by Maaya Uchida.

Thighs are back and now with pantyhose, nice!

I really liked the episode, it's new characters and a different setting but still gives the same vibe as the previous series.

The fight was pretty hype with that nice CG and the OP in the background.

One thing is for sure though, it's going to be hard to top Rika and Akane. But it's a good start so far.

Oh yeah, definitely keeps the same vibes as Gridman, I love it. This will be just as good as Gridman or maybe even better. So far, I am really liking the characters.

In Gridman SSSS means Special Signature to Save a Soul, for Dynazenon it means Scarred Souls Shine Like Stars and they revealed it at the beginning which is interesting because for Gridman we didn't know what SSSS stands for until the last episode. My guess is the Scarred Soul refers to Minami? Or maybe even all of them.

Gauma is a pretty interesting dude and he can control Kaijus if he had his powers, that's dope. I wonder if he's like a hyper agent too or something or if he's from the hyper world. This world is probably also a computer world, but who created it this time I wonder. Well, really looking forward to the next episode.

That insert song when Dynazenon was fighting is definitely the same band that did Union, let's fucking go, that must be the OP.

I popped for the hot dog, I think it's such an iconic thing now in the Gridman universe lmao.

Ever since Gridman showered us with a different world and its characters, we've been hoping that Dynazenon will be something similar yet surprisingly different. Let's hope this show to works the same magic and a whole new character cult.

KANLen09 said:

The OST by returning artists Masayoshi Ooishi and Maaya Uchida will take some getting used to, it's sad that both "Union" and "Youthful Beautiful" ARE JUST TOO GOOD and memorable on their own.

Yep they were catchy with nostalgic vibes. But we'll get used to the new ones soon.
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because.

Liking it more than Gridman - so far. Girls not that sexy. (Well ... not yet. Maybe some of them will get sexier presantation in future episodes.) But from ther personalities ... all the chars seem interesting. And nice to have 4 people in that robot. A bit different.

I guess the Kaiju always appear near the Minami girl and that is why "something is wrong" with her? Senpai and the other girl seem to have an interesting relationship. :D

damn, Trigger never fails to impress me especially those kaiju fights. and now we got some Super Robot vibe here while Griddman is kinda Ultraman-ish I guess.. that's so cool!

sorry but I couldn't unsee Minami as bootleg Rikka.. .. yet:(( but overall the characters are great so far. looking forward to it.

btw does this show has some OG tokusatsu just like ssss.Gridman had? or is it brand new in Gridman universe?

It's marketed as "Gridman Universe" in its own logo:



People should ask why would anyone want to watch this without SSSS.GRIDMAN instead of "do I need to watch SSSS.GRIDMAN first?".

There have been minor connections so far, but you all won't know how the shows are definitely connected until this one has finished airing (and at that point, any such connection would be spoiler worthy), so watch the first season.

In general, I haven't liked this episode and I think I'm not going to continue watching this anime. It has been my first contact with a Trigger produced anime, and a mecha anime in some months. The characters aren't well introduced, the CGI is just 'meh' and the transformation of the robot at the end of the episode is unnecessary long and reminded me to the Power Rangers Megazord in a bad way. The things that I thanks from it are the audio section (the music and the sound effects) and that for me the episode has a very good pace.

I never watched Gridman or whatever. So I'm kinda confused. I was following along pretty well until the actual mecha part of the show started.
this is my first time watching it as well. I don't know a single thing about gridman series, but it reminded me a lot of Power Rangers, especially when they got into that robot thingy
