Aaah, I actually didn't know Neon Genesis was localization-only. That makes sense. I suppose FUNimation felt that people wouldn't get the original reference, so they went with something alot more immediately recognizable.

Oh yeah, the fight scene all around is handled really well, playing like something out of DBZ, haha. I especially loved the beam clash.

Forgot to note this in the episode post(gonna edit it in), but I also liked how Gridman's' timer seems to work like Servo's'(indicating when he's low on energy) while Anti's' seems to work more like the OG Gridman's'(a time limit ala Ultraman).
