SSSS Gridman beated. Fairly disappointed in this. I really loved the first few episodes. Akane made for a great villain, and the stuff with people dying and the world being remade without them was super compelling. However, that stops being a thing after a few episodes, sadly. It becomes a bit more typical of a series after that. It still does some interesting things here and there, but not quite on the same level. Akane herself becomes less interesting too, IMO, but I guess that's the price of character development. The ending was cool at least.

Unfortunately, when that became worse, the series didn't have much left. The other characters weren't so great (Rikka was occasionally fun, but didn't get enough focus, and Yuta was totally boring until episode 11. Should've had that change in episode 3 or 4, IMO), aside from some of the fun side characters. I like Calibur a lot at first, but he got less weird later too. Whatever magic Trigger had to make the fights in the first half of Franxx look good was missing here too, since almost all the fights were totally boring. Wakamoto Kaiju in ep 11 was the only one that was good at all. I guess the last thing I'll mention is that the series had a good feel to it. The sense of style, the little ideas, the dialogue from minor characters, etc. - that was all quite good. I loved Alexis's VA too - the way he said everything made him feel like more than just some evil dude. Would be nice to have a Trigger show with everything all there.
