It's the movie finale to the franchise. You can watch it legally on CrunchyRoll if you're interested. It's like 2 hours long.

Oh! Okay. I will... try to fit that in sometime over the next week?

To build up to it, they did compilation movies for both shows that ended with an entirely new scene to lead into Universe.

The Gridman anthology ends with Yuta waking up and being greeted by Utsumi and Rikka.

And the Dynazenon movie ends with Koyomi disappearing from his bathtub mid-conversation with Chise.

So, and I get the feeling the answer to this is connected to the bit in this post about your writing process being different this time, but what made you decide to skip doing the usual series wrap-up posts?

Mostly just that these were such short series, and I felt like the final episode write-ups hit most of the points I’d want to talk about. With something that runs for 40-50 installments, I’d have more ground to cover; with an even dozen, I think it’s already there.

That makes a lot of sense actually!

Oh, and since you've already been informed about the movie, I'll be the one to mention that the voice dramas are absolutely worth checking out at some point, probably on your own time more than for writing anything about. (And I'm assuming they're subbed somewhere here?)

If you were invested in the mundane antics of these characters, I think you'd have plenty of fun with all those 5-ish minute skits released alongside the episodes to fill in the fringes of the shows' worlds in ways so minor and personal even the shows themselves didn't feel it was worth breaking the flow of the story for. Sure, Dynazenon thought you needed to see Yume eating that churro for a week straight (or however long that scene ran), but the voice dramas are the only place you'll find the unabridged version of Koyomi's awkward attempts at small talk in episode 6 of that series, or get to know what it's like when Akane, Anti, and Alexis Kerib all try to decide on a place to eat at... or heck, for that matter, what it's like when Yomogi and his dad try to decide on a place to eat at, because even the goofy voice dramas are full of rhymed scenarios and lines of dialogue, and without that knowledge, how are you gonna recognize when that stuff subtly spills into the actual animated parts of this franchise?

Talk about Voice Dramas and I will appear. Because despite expositing about them before to some people involved in this thread, no one I guess linked the resource I've brought up in the past?

I only get involved in watch-a-long threads in very specific circumstances nowadays so this will be the only post I make. Here is a link to a site that has the transcripts for every Voice Drama so far (I think we're getting more soon?)

You have the 11 Voice Dramas that aired after the first 11 episodes of each series. 4 Voice Dramas that were included with each Blu-Ray release for both series. 1 that was a bonus for each compilation film. And once you get past Gridman Universe, 3 voice dramas (1 film bonus and 2 home video bonuses)

Very cool! I appreciate the heads-up, both of you! I will bookmark this for later in the year!
