I watched Gridman the Hyper Agent, a show that handily surpasses its own shortcomings!
This isn't a show with a very high budget and the acting can be a bit awkward (and let's not even get started on the subtitle quality). In many ways it is a show that felt like Tsuburaya's attempt to get back on their feet pre-Tiga. It does a lot with a little however, and was generally a show I watched with a big smile on my face! The small amount of suits and sets are nonetheless used well. The cheesy acting quickly won me over with just how genuine it was. Not only that, but the general energy of the show was just addictive. The plots get more and more ridiculous as the show goes along, but it always maintains a serious passion about what it is doing, preventing it from feeling like some mean-spirited parody. Like yes, three episodes from the end Takeshi is caught peeing in public, which causes him to rewrite the Japanese constitution in retaliation, causing driving the speed limit to be a crime punishable by immediate execution via electric chair. But this is also a show that uses the same episode to explore Naoto's heroism even in the face of not getting credit. I've seen a lot of tokusatsu at this point, but Gridman was both unique and an excellent tribute to why we love tokusatsu heroes. B+, I was really pleased with it!
