Endorph posted:neat interview but hearing that apparently a bunch of people at trigger wanted rikka and yuuta to get together makes me wonder how many of them actually understood what they were making, lol. A show where Yuta liked Rikka so much that it actually broke the rules of the universe, and where Rikka clearly had some feelings for him, even if they were less intense than her feelings for Akane? I mean, you look at Rikka's scenes with Yuta, something stands out. Rikka is rude to Yuta. Now, on its own, this doesn't mean much. But Rikka is nice to almost everyone, with her kindness towards smelly weirdo Anti being a special standout. Rikka and Yuta have a distance in their relationship that she doesn't have with anyone else, despite the fact that she does seem to like Yuta as a person. Combine that with the mysterious talk right before the series started and how Akane envied what Yuta gave Rikka (as shown by her attempts to steal the relationship) and there's definitely room for a romance between them, especially with how Akane and Rikka's potential relationship is doomed by the whole Akane-has-to-live-in-the-real-world ending.

And when does the US version come out for that matter (we’re about halfway through the dub currently as Anti and Second just showed up)? Speaking of, those were still the same actors that voiced them in the Gridman dub right? Larryb fucked around with this message at 02:27 on Aug 27, 2021 |

Yuta/Rikka really have no chemistry together beyond being friends but years of anime/comic/movies pairing male and female action series leads together makes even that seem like enough for them to be a couple which is...yes lame

The closest thing they do have to chemistry is the way some shows like to assert that the utter absence of chemistry is itself actually evidence that there's a ton of chemistry that they're just too shy to show you. Again, lame.

There was a special online event for Dynazenon that happened a couple hours ago. Showed off a suit made for Gagula, the final monster of Dynazenon. At the event, it was confirmed the next Gridman Universe project will be announced at the TsubuCon replacement event this Winter.

The Dynazenon dub’s pretty good too in my opinion though it’s been kind of slow to come out for some reason. But yeah, I’m definitely looking forward to the next installment (the current rumor seems to be that it’s a movie rather than a series and Gridman Sigma will be involved in some way but we’ll see)

Dynazenon will be out on Blu-Ray May 17th: https://www.rightstufanime.com/SSSS.DYNAZENON-Blu-ray Speaking of, if anyone was interested someone’s uploaded the live action GridKnight Fight shorts from the Japanese Dynazenon Blu-Ray to YouTube.

So this is the plot of the GridKnight Fight shorts from what I can gather: it starts with GridKnight training with Dynazenon under the supervision of Second. Second goes missing and Alexis shows up, Anti/Knight assumes he kidnapped her and goes after him but is attacked by his old monster form. After getting knocked around a bit Anti eventually destroys both of them after a little pep talk from Gridman and Second returns, revealing she only left to get some new glasses Also I’m not too familiar with the “Fight” shorts from the Ultraman series, is it normal to have a narrator and minimal dialogue/SFX?

Ultra Fight was originally a 3 minute long show that was narrated like wrestling and includes super low budget versions of the suits and such spectacle as Eleking with a machine gun. It is super silly.

Dynazenon was in my backlog for too long, so I finally got around to watching it. What a good show! I feel like Gridman was a really clever idea that was executed really well, while Dynazenon was pretty daring and experimental. Gridman was a story with like, 3 fleshed-out characters (Akane, Rikka, and Anti) and a bunch of flat characters, and it worked really well because the fleshed-out characters were absolutely terrific. I think one of the things that was daring on Dynazenon's part was to have an even bigger cast than Gridman, and to fill it with relatively complex characters. The Kaiju Eugenicists all seem like they have the potential to be deep characters, but we never get to see them fully develop. Having that be an intentional and core part of the story is clever. Akane got some really wonderful depth as a character in Gridman, to the point that retrospectively, the show really seems like a disguised character study. In a way it was a really surprising twist, but of course it follows a tried-and-true form of anime storytelling of psychoanalyzing your mecha anime protagonist. I definitely expected Yume or Chise to fill the same role as Akane, but Dynazenon clearly wanted to tread new territory. Rather than the emotional outpouring of Gridman, Dynazenon has an almost stoic quality to its characters' suffering. The Dyna crew all keep some boundaries from each other, with the exception of Yume and Yomogi, who manage to form a deep bond. There's something understated and realistic about their interactions. Even in their team of 5 people, their group dynamics are never quite five friends but more like 5 people, each of whom is friends with 2 or 3 of the others. Gauma is unexpectedly the truest bro in the show and gets along with everyone by being loyal and supportive. I don't think Koyomi ever meaningfully bonds with Yume or Yomogi, and Chise still gets regularly underappreciated by the rest of the crew. The show doesn't linger on these interpersonal tensions but just kind of accepts them as the natural group dynamics. I think the highlights of SSSS.Dynazenon for me were: -Chise shouting that Goldburn is the best friend she ever had and telling Koyomi that he's a hopeless fuckup -Knight and Second being a beautiful married couple -Mujina coming out of her shell -Gauma's last line was actually really touching, and I wasn't expecting his character to turn out to have such sensitivity to how he develops. The theme of "scarred souls shining" is something that I think this series has been really wonderful with. I love an anime about characters growing and healing from their traumas, and I feel like Dynazenon was kind of a unique take on that type of story for how somber it was the whole way through. The decision to mostly not have background music has worked really well for both series IMO. There's just something about how quiet the everyday life scenes are, and how literally every character in this show is sad and dysfunctional but trying to get better (except for Second, who is an adorable buttercup with a loving husband). Even though the final fight scene is awesome as hell, the resolution still remains pretty somber. In Gridman, they beat up the bad guy, rescue Akane from her inner darkness, and use the Fixer Beam to heal the entire planet. In Dynazenon, the team beats up a bunch of self-destructive depressed nihilistic teens who never learned how to grow past their traumas, and the villain dies admitting that he has no idea why humans would value their lives over transcendence. The tone is much more measured and ambivalent. I think it's a really interesting departure from the first series. Chise is great. Knight is great. Mujina's thighs were great.

100% agreed. Overall, I enjoyed the Dyna cast much, much more (and not because the Gridman cast wasn't enjoyable, mind you). The interactions between Yume and her friend / Yomogo and his group were particularly good IMO, they felt very real. I also found it to be much funnier - the pool episode in particular was a riot.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnHL_eWtwqA one of my favorite tiny details is the shirts gauma's putting into the washer at the start of the ed being the color of the other characters' usual outfits. like his presence is helping cleanse them or something, or start fresh. maybe hes just literally doing their laundry for them but lifes more fun if you read too much into this stuff.

One thing I’m particularly impressed by in Dynazenon is that they decided to bring back a oneshot character from a random filler episode of the original live action Gridman and flesh him out into a complex mainstay of the series I’m also looking forward to the upcoming crossover movie between the two anime and am curious if that’ll be the end of things or if they’ll do something else afterwards (though they could do something like canonize Boys Create Great Hero, adapt the scrapped Gridman Sigma, or maybe even give Anti/Knight and Second their own show)

Endorph posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnHL_eWtwqA I noticed that too, although my takeaway was that it was more symbolic of Gauma and the others being trapped in a cycle. Dynazenon is a show that absolutely begs you to read too much into every little detail, because it intentionally peppers itself with little hidden details that are important, even if it never directly tells you that they are important. Pretty cool stuff.
