Before SSSS - the Tokusatsu Gridman - Denkou Choujin Gridman & Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad

Awesome vid! Been on a rewatch of both Gridman/Dynazenon binge since Trigger hasn’t said a peep about screening Gridman Universe here in the states

I had a VHS of Superhuman Samurai as a kid and thought it was the coolest thing in the world. I was even lucky enough to find his 'morpher' toy at a secondhand store and it literally made my whole world. I never saw it on TV as I didn't have cable, but I watched that VHS religiously. I never sought to watch the rest of the series or gridman as I got older though. I'm happy to just enjoy it as a memory and enjoy seeing little snippets or videos about it here and there as a fond lookback on one of my cherished childhood memories.

I really see how a lot of stuff in SSSS is heavily based on the original series... But Takeshi sounds a HELL of a lot more better executed than Akane!

I absolutely adore Denkou Choujin Gridman and Dynazenon, borderline masterpieces of their respective genres. SSSS.Gridman on the other hand is... not great imo. A bit too "anime" and melodramatic if that makes any sense (it doesn't). Not that I'm against darker or more mature takes on superheroes (Ultraman Nexus is KINO), I just don't feel that the 2018 anime did it too well. Still hyped for the 2023 movie tho; hopefully this can lead to a new toku Gridman series.
