1. You wanted to see what Trigger's latest project is like hoping to see the magic that their previous great works had.
Or...
2.Rikka's Thighs/Akane's Plot.
But on a serious note.
At the moment the anime feels like those good old shows we used to watch as kids.Villain plans out how to beat the hero. Villain gets the attention of the hero. And the hero reigns victorious. The Formula for each of the episodes so far is mostly the same. If you were to watch the first episode alone i would not blame you for saying that the shows plot is pretty much non existent. I would like to argue that it was just like goblin slayer's first episode in the sense that they are just giving you a general overview of how everything works in the world. If the first few episode/chapters of goblin slayer are supposed to give you reasons to hate the goblins even more. Then i would argue that the first episode of gridman is to show you what this show has to offer. Big Robots/Mecha's Fighting big Monsters/Kaiju. If you don't like that on it's own its perfectly fine. I would suggest turning off your brain while watching this anime if you are in for a good time.
TL:DR
This serves as a pretty good substitute for your typical moe anime however replace the cute girls with big mecha fights
8.5/10 for me
