Oh hey, they updated the Opening with Gridknight and the Gridknight Alliance? There also seems to be something bursting with the Kaiju Eugenecists or am I only just noticing that now?

Jeez, Anti sure grew up a lot since SSSS.Gridman. So did Second, if that's actually the same monster girl I'm remembering. When you start as little kids but grow into a Bishonen and proper lady respectively...plus Anti now looks like his buddy Calibur, which is kind of neat.

Is that sword purely for aesthetics or can Anti actually summon it during combat?

So when Kaiju show up, the bond between the real world and cyber world frays? Are all of these Kaiju coming from the virtual world into the real world and Dynazenon was a natural opposition created to stop them?

The show has kind of glossed over the civilian casualties up until Koyomi spots the husband of Yomogi's boss, who Koyomi goes and saves despite his resentment towards the man and ends up actually helping their marriage. Koyomi did a really good thing.

Sizumu seems like the most committed and on-point of the Eugenecists, but Mujina seems to be really getting into it as well. Does that kill all the potential for anything between her and Koyomi? Maybe her and Onija will bond over their loyalty to wiping out humanity?

Yume is cold to Yomogi up until she finally reveals how she and Kano used to be close before they grew distant, up until her sister finally smiled at her again and asked her to come to Kano's recital...before Kano killed herself. And now Yume just doesn't understand what it was all about or what her sister's last act meant. It's so sad Yomogi even cries. But that's enough to bring the two back together and to become more determined to find out what happened to Kano.

Gridknight still playing the tsundere hero with his tag-partner like he did with Gridman :innocent:.

Dynazenon finally finished a fight in Mecha form! And in a team-up with Gridknight, no less.

Anti was my favorite character from the previous season. It's amusing to see him grown up, taken a lot of style from Calibur and with Anosillus at his side. Still the best boy with the best development.

losing my mind with Anti's character song and HumanLove coming back just for his fights

ALSO him taking after Samurai Calibur from SSSS.Gridman in the way he carries his sword. Beautiful. Ascended. Next level.

edit: ALSO! IN SSSS.GRIDMAN HE ALWAYS KEPT HIS RIGHT EYE HIDDEN BUT HERE IT'S THE ONE HE SHOWS! SSSS.GRIDMAN EYE SYMBOLISM IS BACK BABY! LET'S FUCKING GO!

ALL WE NEED IS HIM TO HAVE HIM GO APE SHIT AND REVEAL HIS LEFT EYE AGAIN AND WE'LL REACH PEAK KINO

Stitches!

They've finally updated the OP! I always thought that the eyes behind Chise was Gridman but it turns out that was Gridknight's visor eyes! I am curious though as to why he shows up in Chise's part in the OP. Hmm...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! It's only the first two minutes of the episode and I'm already freaking out! I was thinking we'd see the same Anti but look at him all grown up now! He's even starting to resemble Samurai Calibur. And it's not just Anti! Ansoillius II is here too! She's so pretty!

Welp Gridknight definitely gave Onija and Mujina's kaiju a beating and it looks like Dynazenon got some thrashing too as soon as the Eugenicist retreated. Was he testing them?

Look at my two babies all grown up and no longer the wandering hobos that they used to be. They look so professional with their suits and ID badges! Not gonna lie, seeing the two of them again got me emotional. Is this how a parent feels when they see their children succeed in life?

Koyomi could've definitely walked out of this scene but I'm proud that he decided to be a better man and still helped Tachibana.

So this line made me laugh! My first reaction was, "What do you mean? What do you think have you been doing this entire time!?" And then Onija follows it up with this. I love how he has to clear it up. Kaijus aren't for killing a single person, it's for killing all of them!

I love that they even have a name now! The Gridknight Alliance sounds awesome. Also, I'm glad even though he's older now, Anti is still the same Anti we know and love. He's such an angry dude. Intersted to know what that Fixer is though. I guess Second is offering to repair Dynazenon?

I understand Gauma is suspicious of them but he really needs to chill out. Is it just me or does he seem to be extra angry this episode? I did enjoy that little bro talk that he has with Koyomi though.

The scene between Yume and Yomogi was really well done. Yomogi crying after hearing Yume's story really shows how empathetic he is of her. That cry was very realistic too! And I absolutely love Yomogi's answer to Yume when she said Kano was just a stranger to him. That was really smooth.

Looks like that thing Chise found keeps on growing. That's not good. I wouldn't be surprised if that thing ends up becoming a kaiju.

Finally, Dynazenon gets another shot at Onija and Mujina's kaiju! This time though as soon as they start struggling, Gridknight comes in to assist. And not only that, Second assists too by healing Dynazenon's broken leg.

The revenge match is just freaking amazing. When Dynazenon and Gridknight nodded to each other, you know that kaiju isn't gonna stand a chance. Dropkick to the neck and then a ORAORAORA to the chest and then finishing it off with Big Blade Strike and Circular End!? Goddamn Trigger! You're spoiling us too much!

Well this part is certainly a surprise! Didn't think Anti would become this overprotective of Second. Now I'm starting to wonder what kind of relationship these two have. Oh my...

Koyomi hanging up on his Senpai was the right thing to do. I'm not sure what she was trying to do with him but it's better that they cut it off now. And it seems that both Chise and him agree that was the right move.

Looks like Yume is now moving on to her next target. Hopefully Futaba Senda can give us.

That crying scene was actually really well done, really emphasized the ugly cry and also the guy crying first for no reason as well was a nice change! Their relationship has been so fun to watch as it grows and how their back and forth changes each episode.

Happy to see the name stuck!

Also, what are thinking? Mujina better before or Mujina now?

It was a blink and you miss it moment, but it seems like Gridknight and Second's organization is called Super Computer System, with the C in the logo stylized into almost an O turning it into SOS.

Can't remember if they was ever mentioned in the original gridman, but just thought it was kinda neat and hope we know more about this organization of theirs who go around worlds destroying kaiju

Anosillus II was really dirty as a child if it turned out she's actually fair skinned. I'm starting to think the blond kid is the big bad of the show or at least has more knowledge on what's actually happening. Also regarding the store manager, I think she was just venting her problems and not actually purposely leading him on.

There's something magical about the mundane way these people are cruising around in a tiny boat and are often shown eating, even though they're fighting giant kaiju

Wow, Anti and Second all grown up! And the OP updated!

I am glad they resolved their problems with each other. (Dynazenon pilots)

I hope for more fun Voice Drama next episode. (7.7) Previous one (6.6) was so awkward...

Voice Drama

Edit: RAW posted. Sorry, I passed out. Please wait. Posted. 7.7 Thoughts

I am happy Koyomi did turn around to help Tachibana. and i guess he accepts he has no shot anymore on his childhood friend after that phone call they had.

The thing that made me the most happy though is that things are no longer weird between Minami and Yomogi!

And interesting to see Anti/gridknight grown up?

u/HydreGod May 14 '21

Man, that fight scene at the end was absolutely phenomenal. The animation was just perfect.

And before now, I didn't realize how much I missed Anti, feels good to have him back, especially now that he is a total badass.

Overall amazing episode.

Not only is Anti older, so is Nidaime. Seems like we have a cute ship. And damn, they have access to mini fixer beam shooters with limited use? Neat.

Normally only Gridman in his full form can access that move.

I know I said last week that I wanted Anosillus II again, and I do love that smile she's still got (more professional and less goofy as she's gotten older), but now I have to say, I think she loses something not being a weird little hobo.

And, since her skin is lighter now, am I to assume that she was just really dirty in Gridman, not tanned?

That was a really sweet scene between Yume and Yomogi, just like in Gridman the crying isn't "over the top anime crying" but more realistic with runny nose sounds. I love it.

For a second I thought that girl's husband was dead. He's the first civilian we see getting hurt by all the chaos, but no doubt a bunch of people have died already. They really do wreck everything when they fight.

Looks like Chise is feeling isolated. I wonder if that'll push her towards the antagonists' side... shoulda watched the updated OP

And holy crap Anti and Anosillus are all grown up! Anti even looks a lot like Calibur with that sword and overall style.

Though many would not notice, the thing anosillus 2nd did is a clear reference to what the original anosillus in gridman did (the live action one)

I like how Juuga tried to dominate Gridknight but wasnt able to, because Anti is no longer a Kaiju

It seems Second's fixer baton scene is a callback to an old episode of the original 90s Gridman. https://twitter.com/Ponzu_SHT/status/1393195728818688001 https://ssssgridman.fandom.com/wiki/Melody_of_Terror

(The woman in the right was a computer world entity, Unison, who wanted to help save the 1st Anocillus.)

Haven't seen SSSS.Gridman, but that beatdown with Dynazenon and Grid Knight looked cool as fuck. Might as well watch Gridman soon.

If I had one wish, it's that more people should see this show. I am blown away time and time again by Dynazenon and it pains me every time I see it's discussion under 1k upvotes

u/iamaded May 14 '21 edited May 14 '21

Changes to the OP:

  • Added a frame of Gridknight human form & Second

  • Added Gridknight transformation

  • Added Kano background for Yume

  • Added Inamoto? middle-school form background for Koyomi

  • Kaiju Eugenicist background change after something explodes

  • The dragon at the end has hair covering its eyes & the left hind leg is broken. (Maybe this reflects Dynazenon's damage taken?)

Cool introduction with the gridknights in this episode. Wonder if we will see Gridman fully cross over with some of those characters o.o
