Master Chieve
SSSS.Gridman, Ep 4
Master Chieve
Watched the first 3 like two weeks ago in one sitting
Master Chieve
Let's see if I can remember wtf
Master Chieve
I think Yuta was the protagonist
Master Chieve
Rikka is....
Master Chieve
the villain, I think?
Master Chieve
Or Yuta's friend
Master Chieve
Yuta's friend
Master Chieve
AKANE is the villain
Master Chieve
Gridman says you should crash the group date
Master Chieve
Apparently
Master Chieve
Sometimes you just want to find out a guy's secret identity
Master Chieve
Samurai Calibur just busting into random karaoke rooms
Master Chieve
Guys...your college dudes
Master Chieve
Don't hit on high school girls
Master Chieve
you're*
Master Chieve
This show is
Master Chieve
medium horny
Master Chieve
Well now the college guys are teh dead
Master Chieve
"Your puberty is showing"
Master Chieve
Okay only 3 of them are dead
Master Chieve
Gridman is a stand up guy
Master Chieve
He just wants to help Yuta out
Master Chieve
And fight kaiju
Master Chieve
The Kaiju are arguing
Master Chieve
haha the computer doesn't have enough power to run all of them powering up at once
Master Chieve
Well, you tried
Master Chieve
I like how Akane's evil partner is just like
Master Chieve
unfailingly friendly and supportive
Master Chieve
He doesn't ping as evil at all
Master Chieve
Except for how he's enabling this girl to cause mass destruction
Master Chieve
school trip to the river?
Master Chieve
I am upgrading this show from medium horny to very horny
Master Chieve
I mean
Master Chieve
I guess it IS Trigger
Master Chieve
And now for lovingly rendered animation of teenage girls rubbing sunblock on each other's backs
Master Chieve
Okay that was short thank god
Master Chieve
connection acting up...
Quinn Angstrom
it's very horny in general but low-horny by trigger standards
Master Chieve
Yeah, by Trigger standards it's very restrained
Master Chieve
You guys are a disaster
Master Chieve
And now rocks are just
Master Chieve
floating for some reason
Master Chieve
Akane has either figured out Yuta is Gridman
Master Chieve
OR she just doesn't give a shit about telling Anti random people are Gridman
Master Chieve
I give about even odds either way
Master Chieve
Rikka's mom sounds like Haruko
Master Chieve
from FLCL
Quinn Angstrom
I had that thought as well
Quinn Angstrom
I suspect it's the same VA
Master Chieve
I will say
Master Chieve
That these horny teens actually feel like real horny people and not just a pile of shitty anime tropes, if you take my meaning
Master Chieve
No one has made a dramatic speech about bloomers or anything stupid like that
Quinn Angstrom
yeah
Master Chieve
Wh
Master Chieve
WH
Master Chieve
PROF WH
Master Chieve
THEY'RE IN THE MATRIX
Quinn Angstrom
GRIDMAN IS A LOT
Master Chieve
Yuta's friend is going on a date with Akane, apparently
Master Chieve
Or
Master Chieve
He thought he was
Master Chieve
She's actually mining for information about Yuta
Master Chieve
Akane needs therapy
Master Chieve
Fuck, what is Yuta's friend's name?
Master Chieve
The glasses guy
Quinn Angstrom
I... also forget
Master Chieve
So then if they're in some kind of computer system
Master Chieve
I'm guessing Alexis and Gridman are from outside
Master Chieve
And need intermediaries to actually influence things
Master Chieve
Oh, I guess Alexis can just
Master Chieve
appear
Master Chieve
Utsumi
Master Chieve
That's his name
Master Chieve
Akane's kind of weird
Master Chieve
Gridman MUST be from outside the system
Master Chieve
That's why they keep calling him a "guest"
Master Chieve
And then Alexis just
Master Chieve
Shows up
Master Chieve
At a restaurant
Master Chieve
okay
Master Chieve
Three's a thing
Master Chieve
It sure is a UFO
Master Chieve
I have NO idea what it is
Master Chieve
Oh shit Alexis has betrayed Akane
Master Chieve
I'm getting into this
Master Chieve
Good job you blew it up
Master Chieve
What was it
Master Chieve
Oh it's back
Master Chieve
ANTI MADE A KAIJU
Master Chieve
Man
Master Chieve
u gotta destroy the core
Master Chieve
Sky Gridman looks kinda doofy
Master Chieve
The drill combine was the coolest so far
Master Chieve
aha
Master Chieve
A puppeteer
Master Chieve
Hey look the top of the sky
Master Chieve
He's macrossing
Master Chieve
Okay new theory
Master Chieve
Yuta is not a native to this city
Master Chieve
But for some reason his friends had memories of him implanted in their heads
Master Chieve
Oh jesus
Master Chieve
Anti's down an eye
Quinn Angstrom
I like how they finally have a monster that doesn't look like a man in a rubber suit,
Quinn Angstrom
then you find out that it's literally on strings
Master Chieve
What was that
Master Chieve
"Neon Genesis Evangelion Club?"
Quinn Angstrom
Neon Genesis Junior High
Master Chieve
Akane is the school idol because she programmed everyone to love her holy shit
Quinn Angstrom
you may have not understood how right you were when you said Akane needs therapy
Master Chieve
OP INSERT
Master Chieve
SUUUUUPLEEEEEEEEX
Master Chieve
I think it says something about the kind of person Yuta is
Master Chieve
That I didn't notice he was wearing a sailor school uniform until like the end of that scene
Master Chieve
Akane just
Master Chieve
lying on the floor
Master Chieve
With a knife
Master Chieve
in front of the mirror
Master Chieve
That girl needs therapy
Master Chieve
Okay this is apparently the last episode out
Master Chieve
Did Yuta get amnesia again?
Master Chieve
Something
Master Chieve
wrong
Quinn Angstrom
I love that cold open
Master Chieve
She reset it
Master Chieve
But this time She replaced Rikka
Master Chieve
With herself
Master Chieve
You keep seeing gridman in reflections of things
Master Chieve
Utsumi stop being a gatekeeping nerdboy
Master Chieve
She wants to make a world where she is everyone's best friend
Master Chieve
Started the episode over because I wasn't absorbing it at ALL
Master Chieve
Rephrasing:
Master Chieve
She wants to make a world where she is everyone's girlfriend
Quinn Angstrom
correct
Quinn Angstrom
Akane Harem Route
Master Chieve
Hey
Master Chieve
The sidekicks can combine without Gridman
Master Chieve
I think
