The Take
SSSS.Gridman is worth watching. Akira Amemiya's direction and Trigger's animation turn a simple tokusatsu homage into a meta, twisty love letter that lands its emotional beats without lectures.
Early episodes build slowly around Yūta's amnesia and kaiju attacks in a simulated city, but the payoff rewards viewers who stick with the friendship and identity themes.
The Verdict
Trigger nails the 90s Gridman revival with modern craft and zero soy messaging. The 12-episode run builds to satisfying meta payoffs around identity and heroism.
Watch it.
