It's always crazy to look back at our thoughts during different times. That's why journaling can be a very good way to grow oneself.
As an aside, I now think Dynazenon is the superior show, even though its not even over at the time of this writing.

Ah yes, I remember...
I saw this when it first debuted and continued to watch each week. I was slightly disappointed R/B wasn't getting subbed fast enough (Nothing against ColorSubs, they had a lot going on at the time, I hear), and this show was something... different? It had an interesting contrast between mundane, dull, and ordinary, to high octave, full-throttle action, in a way I constantly puzzled how I was possibly enjoying this show. Initially, after the final episode, I left off thinking "what a nice show, I whould watch the original Gridman." then I found all 39 episodes on YouTube (Appropriately uploaded by a GRIDMAN ALLIANCE) , and everything clicked together, and I thought back on SSSS. Gridman, and thought "This was a great show!" And to tie everything together, I re-watched the "Boys Invent Great Hero" animation they did when they first announced the series, and I found the whole Gridman experience to be one of the best experiences I have ever witnessed. Now here we are with Dynazenon, and I am still loving it. |

I watched the end of the series today, and, you guys, I really enjoyed it. My whole life is about endlessly searching out something to make me feel like Evangelion did when I was younger, and this series obviously did not do that, but I really enjoyed the nods to Eva, the little visual cues and naming choices, I thought that was really cute.
I also, predictably, really liked Akane, I thought she shone throughout the whole narrative, and whilst the last episode felt a little wonky with the pacing at times, I was really touched by the final scene. I don't want to get a reputation for being the-girl-who-only-likes-villains (too late!) but I found her frustration and doubt to be very human, very relatable, and I think that this would have made a tremendous impact on me had I seen it when I was an awkward teenager. I have a whole bunch of thoughts churning about at the back of my head regarding heroes like Ultraman and Gridman and the very nature of identity and otherness, but perhaps 2:32am is not the right time to attempt to convey these feelings to you all. Please look forward to further discussion of this later. |

Three things I appreciate about this show.
1. Shattered Glass. The characters in the show all share the same color scheme as the Shattered Glass transformers, a Transformers universe that started from Botcon if I recall and is basically a parallel universe where Autobots were the bad guys and Decepticons were the good guys. The only good Autobot is a Cliffjumper from another reality and happens to share the same color palette as Yuta. Rikka is Megatron, Sho is Sideswipe, Akane is Optimus Prime, and Anti is Rodimus just to name a few. 2. Masaya Obi cameo! The man who gifted us with his performance as Naoto in the original 1993 Gridman cameos as a customer in episode 6. Nothing big, but a nice short and sweet cameo. 3. The Neon Genesis Junior High Students. All four of them are voiced by Toku alumnis. Samurai Calibur is voiced by Ryosuke Takahashi who was Takuto/Lio Sazer in Sazer-X. Max was voiced by Katsuyuki Konishi who voiced Gosei Knight in Goseiger, Borr was voiced by Aoi Yuuki who was Mari in flashback scenes in Kamen Rider 555 and the voice of Yurusen in Kamen Rider Ghost, and Vit was voiced by Masaya Matsukaze who was Shun/Mega Blue in Megaranger, Masataka Shiba/17th Shinken Red in Shinkenger, and voice of Endolf in Kyoryuger. And as most of us know, Konishi has worked with Trigger and Gainax previously voicing Tsumugu and Kamina in Kill La Kill and Gurren Lagann respectively.

I really like this idea a lot. I feel it really speaks to the intensity of friendships when you are young, and the way in which identity blurs when you feel so close to someone that you almost remake yourself in their image.

So new here, and just finished watching this series. Found the thread when looking up info on the series.
Really enjoyed this, even though I'm more familiar with SSSS then Gridman. Though I do love how the basic plot of the series takes the format from the american show, and love that the dub voice of Alexis is clearly going for a Tim Curry vibe as another nod to SSSS. Even with being a fan of the american adaptation, I was still hyped for a lot of the reveals, like seeing Powered Xenon and classic Gridman/Servo. I'd been meaning to watch this for awhile now, as a transformers fan I was made aware of it mostly due to all the TF references in it. But I'm glad I've watched this as its now certainly a favorite of mine. Likely will get to Dynazenon tomorrow. |
