The Gridman shows always have a way of hooking me in. I find the story so interesting even if at times it just feels like a slice of life juxtaposed with mecha and kaijus (and I'm starting to feel like that is my ideal level of "Realism"- that mystical realism that studios like Ghibli and authors like Murakami capture so well).

The show is starting to unravel and I get the feeling the theme is about the grey areas of the decisions we make and how they impact others around us. Friendships, marriage, suicide, and even the act of doing nothing (like Koyomi's unemployment) have lasting effects on people all around us.

Also I'm just a sucker for young love. Honestly Yomogi could use a little more development beyond being attracted to the odd girl, but who knows how that could change; I felt that way about Hibiki from Gridman throughout the series until the story came into full near the end. Now I'm okay with his one dimensionality.
