its nice to see the Neon Genesis Junior High Students also fight in their human forms, seriously they could take out Anti in his human form.

I will take your word for it. I remember I was ready to trash newer version of Hunter x Hunter until you intervened. And I like nuts.

Yeah, that was kinda too easy but at least this show isn't waiting till close to the end to give a twist we could see coming miles away anyway. And kaiji girl was a pretty fun character herself.

Overall, I'm once again enjoying the directing in this show. The story may be a bit simple but there's so much atmosphere to this show and the characters. I just find it amazing how this show can have a girl like Akane go so seamlessly from totally normal to nail bitingly scary just from a few sentences.

When do you find Rikka scary? I can't say she ever comes off that way to me. Unless you meant Akane - in which case she never comes off normal.

Fake News.

I said Akane, not Rikka.

FAKE NEWS.

Not the same voice at all. Akane is Reina Ueda, Anoshiras II is Karin Takahashi.

is this series a sequel to the original live action show from the 1993?

ROFL. Like I said, I never find Akane normal - when she's trying to be I can always sense the crazy bubbling just beneath the surface.

[Haak]

Well totally normal may be a bit misleading. I guess it would be more accurate to say "normal on the surface".

So far it's a loose remake of the original live action; it uses a lot of elements from the original (and some from the USA remake) while putting its own twist on them.

For example, the kaiju girl (called Anoshiras II only in the credits) is a callback to the original Gridman ep 6, which had the MCs fight Anoshiras, a harmless cyber kaiju which the enemy had brainwashed. The brainwashing was broken by playing a melody via the keyboard.

[Side-streetdog]

It almost guarantee that this is cyber-world
Problem is, I don't think Akane created everything
She probably take information from real world to create people
That's why she doesn't have a perfect world for her and repeatedly "Destroy & recreate" process

Now, from unexpected Anoshiras appearance.
This show likely continuation of original than remake
For Anoshiras to just reveal everything is too sudden
But with this plot can go on to another step.

I believe part of MC group will be reset sometime after this
Either be delete memory or just get rid out of picture
If it is first, whole MC group will lose their memory except one (MC or Rikka)
If it is second, Glass-kun would likely be a sacrifice.

I may be wrong, but now this series is a lot more interesting to watch

The way Akane's boobs are drawn in the first spread is a bit awkward.

It's like they're bursting out of her body .

Par for the course for promoting waifus.

I mean... they wouldn't point out that Akane is a lonely person and that she is being used if they didn't want to make it sound like she's a person that needs saving.

There is the line in the opening, "I've come to save you from boredom". It's practically confirmed at this point the OP lyrics have plot significance since Oishi mentioned on Twitter he had to rewrite the lyrics around 3 times because he was giving too much away. (Here's a link to that tweet BTW.)
