Hey, when the animators go out of their way to have Powered Zenon not having elbow joints to make it more like some DX robo toy, it probably limits the options for complex choreography!

I remember having my mind blown quite a bit when that was pointed out to me. Made me gain new respect for the nerdy priorities the geeks making this show had (f***ing nobody but the hardest of core would think to do this), and also made it seem really silly whenever I saw people criticizing SSSS Gridman merchandise not working in more articulation for Powered Zenon. It's literally canon, guys!

...and, uh, I'll totally back you up that Akane isn't very sympathetic and that I find the way the source material handled its equivalent character better in many ways (though in my case I'm talking about Takeshi), but that's also because I didn't find much to like about any character in this show not named Anti. I've kind of been holding back on saying anything because I'll probably have trouble stopping myself from getting real salty about some of the quirks of SSSS Gridman's writing. I have complicated feelings about this series, but it's been fun reading thoughts from someone with maybe a more overall positive outlook. The last few episodes were the strongest by far, in my opinion, so it'll be especially fun getting to those.
