Seasonal Prattle

Now that SSSS.Gridman is finished, Seasonal Prattle revisits an old piece and answers some questions on the topic.

SSSS.Gridman has had plenty of textual red flags – primarily stemming from a weak, undercooked protagonist trio with even flimsier relationships, yet I still held out hope. Held out hope that it would be all worth it. What I’ve gotten in return so far can’t be any further from that.

SSSS.Gridman is rich, nuanced and deeply cared for visually – toting a very applaudable creative effort. Unfortunately, the exact same thing can’t be said about its writing and characters. Let’s quickly touch upon one of Fall’s more lopsided anime and why it can be a bit of a tough buy in.
