I don't love the cape, but I sort of completely love the hands sticking out of the shoulders? Seeing Gridknights tiny hand poking out of the combined robot's shoulder, just to grab the cannon, is pretty great.

It's a really beautiful scene for me, because while Chise gets upset at how dismissive Yume is of Chise's interest or of her own value, it never gets combative or accusatory. The volume on this scene always stays at Aching, from both sides, and it really drives home how difficult it can be to appreciate the things you have more than lament the things you don't, while still finding it within yourself to support the people you see falling. Sometimes literally!

You know, it's only just now dawning on me that this is sort of another way I have like a mirror universe version of DreamSword's experience with these shows? I stopped watching SSSS.Gridman weekly after episode 8, and then came back a month later to quickly plow through the last four episodes while the finale was still fresh.

But since that was ultimately a positive experience for me, and a decision that was entirely my own, of course for him it was just forcibly being jerked around by outside forces for... was there even a reason? Actually, wasn't that whole "simul"dub super late to begin with even though Gridman's wasn't? Because to have a delay that long on top of a delay -- especially if there was no explanation given -- is going beyond super sucks, and into the territory of like, like, Super Mega sucking.
