SSSS.Gridman (stylized as SSSS.GRIDMΛN)[a] is a Japanese anime television series adaptation of the 1993–1994 tokusatsu series Denkou Choujin Gridman.[5] The production is a joint collaboration between Tsuburaya Productions, the production company behind Gridman and the Ultra Series, and Trigger. It was broadcast for twelve episodes from October to December 2018. A sequel, titled SSSS.Dynazenon, was broadcast from April to June 2021.
Synopsis[]
The story focuses on Yūta Hibiki, an amnesiac first-year high school student living in the fictional Japanese city of Tsutsujidai. He meets the Hyper Agent Gridman in an old computer, who states that the boy has a mission he must fulfill; Yūta sets out to find the meaning to those words and his memory loss. The sudden appearance of kaiju eventually changes the usual dynamics of Yūta and his classmates.[6] Yūta is able to merge with Gridman to fight kaiju, but after the kaiju attack, people's memories are reset and those who die are forgotten. As the "Gridman Alliance", Yūta and his friends now seek to stop the kaiju and uncover the truth behind the disappearances, with assistance from mysterious friends of Gridman who can transform into weapons that Gridman can use in combat.
Characters[]
Gridman Alliance[]
Gridman Alliance (グリッドマン同盟, Guriddoman Dōmei) is a trio of high school students who assisted the Hyper Agent Gridman in fighting Kaiju attacks within the city. Due to their connection with the hero, they were the only ones who are not affected by the changes made when one of Akane's Kaiju killed a victim, causing them to be erased from existence. Their base of operation is Junk Shop Aya, Rikka's shophouse.

- Voiced by: Yūya Hirose[7][8] (Japanese); Brandon McInnis[6] (English)
- An amnesiac young boy who wakes up near Rikka's house who lives along in his family's apartment since his parents are on a business trip, initially being the only one who can see Gridman and the Kaiju custodians around the city. It would later be revealed that he is actually Gridman possessing the real Yūta, regaining his memories and leaving his host once he became whole and captured Alexis.

- A Hyper Agent (ハイパーエージェント, Haipā Ējento) who attempted to defeat Alexis Kerib, only to be defeated and fragmented into parts with one inhabiting the body of Yūta Hibiki with his memories sealed in the process while his subconscious resides in the pawnshop's PC Junk. The subconscious reminds Yūta of his mission, explaining they need to merge in order for Gridman to battle the Kaiju attacking the city. While Yūta and the Neon Genesis Junior High Students were the only ones that could interact with Gridman, Rikka and Utsumi are able to perceive him after witnessing his first fight and Calibur upgrading Junk.
- Became of his fragmented state, Gridman was forced to wear limiter armor that initially in his purple-colored Initial Fighter (イニシャルファイター, Inisharu Faitā) before it is optimized into the reddened Primal Fighter (プライマルファイター, Puraimaru Faitā) by Junk's upgrade. His finisher is Grid Beam (グリッドビーム, Guriddo Bīmu), an attack fired from his Accepter on the left hand. As the Neon Genesis Junior High are embodiments of the other fragments of his being, Gridman can use their Assist Weapons form for additional strength in combat.
- Heracles Combine Max Gridman (剛力合体超人 マックスグリッドマン, Gōriki Gattai Chōjin Makkusu Guriddoman): A formation with Battle Tracto Max forms a pair of gigantic forearms and increases his brute strength. His finishers are Max Grid Beam (マックスグリッドビーム, Makkusu Guriddo Bīmu) and Super Lightning Kick (超電撃キック, Chō Dengeki Kikku).

- Empyrean Combine Sky Gridman (大空合体超人 スカイグリッドマン, Ōzora Gattai Chōjin Sukai Guriddoman): A formation which occurs when Sky Vitter forms as Gridman's helmet, waist and leg armor. In this form, Gridman gains superiority in high-altitude combat and disorient his opponents with Lucky Smokescreen (ラッキースモークスクリーン, Rakkī Sumōkusukurīn).
- Hyperlink Combine Full Powered Gridman (超合体超人 フルパワーグリッドマン, Chō Gattai Chōjin Furu Pawā Guriddoman): Gridman's ultimate formation attained by combining with the four Assist Weapons at the same time. In this case, both Gridman and the Assist Weapons are deployed in half their usual size to conserve energy, forming a full-sized robot once combined. In this form, Gridman has all the abilities and techniques from his other formations at his disposal. His finisher is the Grid Full Power Finish (グリッドフルパワーフィニッシュ, Guriddo Furu Pawā Finisshu).

- Voiced by: Yume Miyamoto[7][8] (Japanese); Jill Harris[6] (English)
- The sole female member of Gridman Alliance and Yūta's classmate, who found the amnesiac boy in front of her house. Out of her teammates, she desires a normal life but wishes Yūta to keep fighting as Gridman to save their friends.

NGJHS[]
The NGJHS, short for Neon Genesis Junior High Students (新世紀中学生, Shinseki Chūgakusei, Lit "New Generation Junior High Students"), is a quartet of Hyper Agents who pose as youths dressed in black. They are later revealed to be embodiments of Gridman's scattered fragments modeled after his memories and became living beings in their own right. This factor plays in their Assist Weapon (アシストウェポン, Ashisuto Wepon) forms being able to combine with Gridman and increase his power, initially one at a time before their power output is reduced so they can all appear and form Full Powered Gridman. But when Gridman is absent, the Assist Weapons can combine on their own into War God Combine Powered Zenon (合体戦人 パワードゼノン, Gattai Senjin Pawādo Zenon).

During the formation of Full Power Gridman, the Axe Blade (アックスブレード, Akkusu Burēdo) jettisoned and becomes the formation's breastplate. When the rest of his teammates combine into Powered Zenon, Gridman Calibur turns into Powered Axe (パワードアックス, Pawādo Akkusu), allowing them to execute Jumbo Saber Slash (ジャンボセイバースラッシュ, Janbo Seibā Surasshu). Under possession of Gridknight, the Gridman Calibur transforms into Gridknight Calibur (グリッドナイトキャリバー, Guriddonaito Kyaribā) to perform Knight Calibur End (ナイトキャリバーエンド, Naito Kyaribā Endo).

Broadcast and release[]
SSSS.Gridman was announced during Studio Trigger's panel at Anime Expo 2017, alongside Darling in the Franxx and Promare. Trigger described the show as "their anime take on the tokusatsu series", with an original storyline unrelated to the earlier live-action series.[16][17] During Tokyo Comic Con 2017, more details about the show were provided, including the main staff, October 2018 premiere, Masayuki Gotou as Gridman's character designer, and voice actor Hikaru Midorikawa reprising his role as Gridman.[5][9][10]
On March 24, 2018, the official website revealed another visual and main voice cast details.[7][8] During Studio Trigger's Anime Expo 2018 panel, Trigger acknowledged the differences between the US and Japanese releases of Gridman, clarifying that SSSS.Gridman is a new show with the same concept. They emphasized that despite having an all-new story, SSSS.Gridman wasn't a reboot. Production of SSSS.Gridman took place alongside Promare; staff related stories during the panel about production details for SSSS.Gridman being worked out during Promare meetings and vice versa. A special video featuring director Akira Amemiya was shown, emphasizing the story "would focus on the youth of Japan and their relationship to technology". The world premiere of the show took place after the panel ended.[18]
The series aired from October 7 to December 23, 2018.[19][c] The series is directed by Akira Amemiya, written by Keiichi Hasegawa, and animated by Trigger. Masayuki Gotou designed Gridman with Masaru Sakamoto handling the other character designs, many of which are directly inspired by characters from the Transformers franchise.[20][21] Shirō Sagisu composes the music.[9][4] The opening theme is "UNION" by OxT, and the ending theme is "youthful beautiful" by Maaya Uchida.[12] During their Anime Expo 2018 panel, Funimation announced they licensed the series for streaming on FunimationNow and an English dub.[22] The anime was also licensed by Funimation in the United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. The anime was simulcast by Crunchyroll in those countries.[23]
On December 14, 2019, a sequel series titled SSSS.Dynazenon was announced at Tsuburaya Production's own convention, Tsubucon. The animation project is a continuation of SSSS.Gridman set in the same shared "Gridman Universe".[24] It premiered on April 2, 2021.[25]
On November 15, 2020, it was announced during an Adult Swim YouTube livestream panel that the anime's English dub would premiere on the network's Toonami programming block on January 17, 2021.[26][27][d]
