Where can I watch SSSS.Gridman? (Trigger)
You can watch SSSS.Gridman on Crunchyroll — Trigger also has two shorts in Visions, so we’re offering two recommendations that riff on similar central themes—mecha-fueled supeheroics—but with very different approaches. A spin on the classic Tsuburaya (the makers of Ultraman) ‘90s Tokusatsu series Gridman the Hyper-Agent, SSSS. Gridman follows three high schoolers: the amnesiac Yūta Hibiki and his classmates Rikka and Shō, as they find their town plagued by violent kaiju attacks that mysteriously reset the city back to normal after each invasion. Encountering the spirit of Gridman in an old computer, the trio forms the Gridman Alliance to solve the mystery of the kaiju and their town’s disappearing population. What follows is both a glorious tribute to Tokusatsu as a genre and a touching story about trauma and connection that makes for one of the most fascinating robot anime around. If you like it, check out its spiritual successor that aired this year, SSSS. Dynazenon, for more.
