A thread for appreciating what I consider the most underrated American toku adaptation; "Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad."
Who else remembers this gem? |

Of all the American toku shows of the 90s, this was one of the ones I was most interested in when I saw ads for it.
Unfortunately, it was also the one shown at the most obscure times on UK TV so I only saw I few episodes when I was a kid, I remember having a Servo figure though. |

I miss SSSS... You had toys that kicked any Megazord's ass (Hi, I'm Phormo, and I have knees and elbows) and Tim Curry as the main villain, with that alone you couldn't go wrong.

I tried to like the show but couldn't get into it. What I SHOULD'VE done was buy the toys! Oh mean were they tempting...and affordable! Best thing Playmates Toys brought over in the 90's aside from Exosquad and Ronin Warriors.

This was the american adaptation of Gridman right? Matthew Lawrence was every girl's wet dream back during this show, but I never watched more than 3 episodes. The toys though were excellent. I gotta watch Gridman...

I fell in love with those monster designs, and now that I know who made Gridman, it's obvious why. Although Power Rangers was always the enormous hit of the time and the series all of us kids had in common back then, I always had a soft-spot for SSSS.
The stuff with the kids was cringe-worthy, but Malcolm and Kilokhan were the best. |

What always surprised me looking into Gridman was how faithful the plot of SSSS was to the original. It's almost like how Power Rangers is adapted today, lifting the story and setting for the adaptation.

so was Gridman successfully transferred into the world of Ultraman or no?
