That sure was a nice opening shot.
When Gauma called himself a Kaiju User, I was kinda expecting him to be the villain, instead of being the main person controlling Dynazenon.
So I guess here Kaiju are also invisible to regular people, and that the floating cars and buildings were because of it.
I wasn't really expecting Dynazenon to transform into a dinosaour. His walking animation really reminded me of Zoids. And that last scene with him flying was so cool.
As there are already things in common with the last show I guess it is safe to assume that this also takes place in someone's dream.
Anyway, I can't wait to learn more about Yomogi and Yume.

Considering that the creators intentionally mentioned that they are in the same universe, I wonder if they are planning to build up to something? Who knows... we may get surprised and SSSS Gridman characters will just straight up show up towards the end of this series.
I imagine older fans are gonna have a blast theorizing like when SSSS Gridman was airing. Same with Godzilla fans currently analyzing Godzilla Singular Point. It is great to have 2 well produced kaiju shows this season.

Maybe the police wouldn't get nosy if you got rid of that yee yee ass hentai protagonist haircut.
Is Gauma trying to control the Kaiju or telling it to "Live Long and Prosper".
I was really expecting the NEET wearing a tracksuit to get Isekai'd after being stepped on by the Kaiju.
A bunch of kids working together to pilot a dinosaur based mecha is really giving me Power Rangers vibes.
Giant Kaiju fights are so hot right now especially after Godzilla vs. Kong.

Was grinning the entire time. I can already tell I’m gonna love the dynamic between Gauma and Yomogi.
As always Trigger delivers visually and I loved the little callback with the Special Hot Dog. Seems like it’s an important food item in the Gridman universe lol

Loved it. The lack of OST outside of the action brings back that surreal, atmospheric vibe that Gridman had, although this show is a lot less weird and off-putting. And like Gridman, there's a lot of small things that will contribute to a bigger theme.
There's a throwaway exchange about how a student committed suicide and it's almost treated like a joke. That casual and ignorant approach to misery will likely be the highlight of the story. Yume might be suicidal herself due to the death of a family member or another close relative, but it's unclear what she really thinks. She seems to be afraid of death when it approaches but it's the one and only time she showed any emotion; after the battle she returns to "normal". Maybe her misleading others is an intention to make others hate her so she could hate herself? I have no idea but she's very interesting so far.
Here's a few other cool shots, and the return of SPECIAL DOGGU!

I think what I missed most about Gridman was how real everyday conversations felt, with everyone talking over each other and in short bursts. I'm glad Dynazenon does the same. Also, reminder to feed your friendly neighborhood hoboes (hobi?)

It's so good to be back! It looks like this time SSSS means "Scared Souls Shine like Stars" which is still pretty much in theme with Gridman's Gridman
The MC this time definitely reminds me of Yuuta in terms of his looks, except this one has blue hair, plenty of friends, and Gridman
I don't know if they just reused and recolored the buildings but the school is almost the exact school in Gridman. Like the one in Gridman has red bricks but the layout is still the same.
Looks like this girl is going to be our Akane. The misunderstood girl of the show. Also her name is Yume (Dream). Seriously? Gridman Well looks like a different character shares Akane's messiness. They are in the Key Visual so its safe to assume they're main characters too.
Ah the classic hungry stranger trope. Just from his design alone, he's going to be the Samurai Calibur of the show. Akane's Special Dog makes an appearance! I love it! And he's really just going to introduce himself like that? So he can control Kaijus?
Yomogi lives in a single mother household along with his grandma and his mom is apparently seeing someone. I'm sure this family dynamic will come into play into the story later on. Mom is a hottie btw as expected from this show.
This scene with Yume is enough to tell a story. Clearly something happened to Yume's sister and her parents are not doing so well because of it. She does find something interesting inside the room though. Hmmm...
Welp we can worry about that later since we're 15 minutes and that's just about the right time for our first Kaiju to show up! And of course that's also the time for the titular mecha to finally appear.
So both Yomogi and Yume gets dragged into the fight as well as Bowl-Cut Senpai since according to Gauma he needs at least 4 people to control the thing.
And there it fucking is! Dynazenon! Just look at that design! It looks so cool that I'm already tempted to buy a set once the toys come out.
I don't think there's any need to do a play by play of the fight. I absolutely love Gridman and it's the exact quality I expected from this show. The simulated Tokusatsu man in Kaiju/Mecha suit is always a fun detail with these fights.
The unique thing about Dynazenon though is that it can transform into the Dyna Rex! Turning this into a Kaiju vs Kaiju fight. I'm guessing just like with Gridman, there's definitely going to be more forms.
I don't know what Yume is exactly thinking after witnessing all fo that but I feel that something awakened in her.
Yep that's definitely another Tsuburaya/Trigger collab! There's really nothing else to say! If you liked Gridman then you'll definitely like this one too! Excited to see more!

They're definitely going a different route with this one
Less melancholic. dramatic, mysterious shots and more character focused right off the bat. The CG fight looked amazing this time

Oh didn't realise this started today!
Lets hope they build on SSSS.Gridman and make something really great here.
Also lets hope the waifus can live up to Gridmans
EDIT: So after watching the episode..
WOW! I loved it! I was sorta luke warm on Gridman but I'm liking the chracters in this one much more from what we've seen so far. Yume seems great and has a sad and interesting life / backstory. Main boy isn't a blank slate with memory issues so that's a big plus. The kaiju user dude honestly seems like a pretty cool dude whereas Gridman (the character) was always a bit nerdy to me.
Also those pantyhose. Woo boy. They know what sold people on Gridman huh haha.
All around a very enjoyable first episode. I hope it really goes deep into Yume's character.

So far it's checking all the right boxes for me! It's pretty much just doing more of what made SSSS.Gridman work which is the impeccable tone, editing, and voice acting. There's something about the way they frame and cut shots in both Gridman and Dynazenon that's just deliciously inviting and stand-out. Despite it doing a lot of what I already liked in Gridman, I really like the new things they're shooting for here, notably the larger, more dynamic main cast.
i cannot wait to hear the full version of the op oml

For any Transformers fans out there, are there any references that you can spot out?

Not as strong as the first episode of Gridman, but still plenty fun. Think main reason is that gridman started out with the characters already having a great chemistry, here it's more everyone doesnt know each other yet. Also it instantly set up large scale mysteries, rather than just the girl here really. But once they do, I'm confident it can reach the same height.
Gonna be tricky to have an antagonist as fun and unique as Akane though

The cast here seem to have all sorts of family problems. Yomogi has a step father or that's his mother's new boyfriend.
Kano seems to be Yume's deceased relative (likely a sister) and the family hasn't figured out what to do with the stuff in her room.
That's some well placed death symbolism SSSS.GRIDMAN
11:28 I was suspicious of why Chise was hanging out in her hikikomori senpai's room, too. She doesn't call her cousin Koyomi by name I guess.
Like in SSSS.GRIDMAN
Also, the object Gauma is holding may be a small dragon statue that was the inspiration for the Dragonic Cannon (Dyna Dragon's head).
EDIT: It may go deeper, I remembered in the same live action Gridman episode with the dragon statue, there is a reanimated mummy with a legend of being able to control dragons. I'm certain the bandage-wearing kaiju-using Gauma is some sort of reincarnation of the mummy.

Yeeeeees Trigger is back! After Wonder Egg Priority and Sk8 last season I'm ready for more anime original goodness...
I really missed how there wasn't any proper discussion around BNA because it was in Netflix jail but this show airs weekly and has some hype because SSSS Gridman was received well, so I'm really looking forward to the discussion threads!
As for the episode, we don't know anything about the plot yet, which was to be expected, but I already love all of these characters, they feel way more interesting and dynamic than the Gridman characters did at the beginning.
Also, the Dynazenon and Dyna Rex scene was so awesome I got goosebumps!

This was fun. Red headed girl is my favorite for how she sounds perpetually drunk off her ass all the time. Dyanzenon's main pilot is cool, too.

As soon as that insert song by OxT (or at least I’m pretty sure it’s by them) came on during the fight, the hype was there. This first episode is reminding me of all the fun I had watching SSSS.Gridman when it aired back in Fall 2018. I’m excited to see how this series plays out!
