Honestly, I think it’s entirely a waste of time and effort. After it’s introduced, it’s like watching a murder mystery where in the first 10 minutes they out right tell you exactly who the killer is and the entire cast knows who the killer is but they keep pretending like they don’t know who the killer is until they “officially” declare who the killer is. It just gets grating.

Why can’t we have more female characters that look and sound like manly male characters but are actually unapologetically women and look it when they put on anything explicitly female like a swimsuit or girl’s school uniform? At least there would be some level of equal representation of a stupid meme that stopped being funny before it was ever introduced.

.....I have no idea what point you’re even trying to make with this.

Believe me dude, I don’t even know what my points are half the time.

Episode 07 though - wow.

First of all, great action scenes, I love the attention to detail. I noticed strings on the UFO at first and thought it was a jab at classic Toku but turns out there's actually a puppeteer Kaiju above, that's neat.

Then the twist - so the whole series takes place inside the computer world? Ouch. I fear for what will happen to the characters now.

Episode 7's best trivia moment was when Ultraman Hikari shows up in a Super Fighter Legend style anime.
And notice how Sky Vitor's attacks reference Lucky and Amp from SSSS. :rock:

New episode confirmed a detail seen since episode 1.

The protagonists' eye colors are all blue while the antagonists' are reddish. Rikka has some red in her iris along with blue, which was probably a hint that she was connected to Akane in some form. This week, she confirms that Rikka was created with the purpose of being Akane's friend and that everyone in the city likes her because she made things that way.

Ep 9.....

Just........

I cannot.....


I CANNOT HANDLE ALL THIS LOVE !

I will say this, I'm not that big into the Ultra series, but I'm loving this show. I don't know if it's because of the feel compared to some other ones.

This is easily one of my favorite new anime in a long time. Side note, all of these poses and gattai sequences are making me want to go watch the Brave series.

So I'm calling these right now:

Yuuta's parents are probably victims of the Kaiju attacks; it's likely he himself was a victim in some way as well, hence his amnesia and them being "out of town". I'm guessing he was ttacked, but somehow managed to survive, possibly saved by Gridman himself due to one of his parents being the actual original Gridman or even Gridman Sigma.

Rikka was someone Akane knew from "before" that she either wanted desperately as a friend, or with whom she was friends beforehand but had an irreconcilable falling out before whatever event put them all in the simulation. Hence why Rikka cannot seem to hate Akane whatever she does; she refuses to let go of her best, and possibly only, friend. (Hi Homura.)
