Akane would either kinda dig Dynazenon's dino mode, or find it an unholy abomination to all she holds dear

New Gridman Universe art. Spoiler for the movie

Not gonna lie, after the movie, seeing stuff like this feels pretty cynical and a money grab

We still have no release date for the English version yet I assume?

Gridman Universe finally comes stateside on July 3

https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2023/06/13/crunchyroll-reveals-anime-expo-2023-plans-including-over-20-panels-and-premieres

Should be noted though that this is a special premiere at AX and not an actual theater run yet

sort of tangential to this i just realized the trigger panel this year will be on day 1 relatively close to when the con opens up, that's going to be pain and suffering trying to secure spots for, gently caress

Well hopefully a more public release of the film won’t be too far behind now (do we know if this is getting a theatrical release over here or just going straight to streaming?)

FYI the Gridman movie is out and subbed now (just not officially)

It's not. Because the movie is nothing.

there's a few interesting beats and i like some of what they do with the dynazenon cast but well they said 'rikka and yuta didnt get together because thatd be kinda boring' and then they were right

The saving grace is that it was barely in the movie.

But I almost wish there was more of it because then the movie might have been about something.

its weird because its not really good as a victory lap movie either because its not like its just an hour straight of mecha action like how the first girls und panzer movie is with tanks

There's not an antagonist until the last quarter of the movie and they are never given a name, a personality, a motivation, or really many lines in general

No idea.

It's especially rough because it's a film built for the theaters. Huge moments that exist primarily to get crowds to cheer, lengthy fights, cool visuals, that kind of thing. And we know from Promare that Trigger mech stuff can sell in the west for theatrical, but... well, nothing.

Shame. It's a fun movie, even if on first watch it kind of felt like it was half animating unused crossover audio dramas and half giant monster fights.

Well that sure was a movie that happened, it wasn’t as terrible as I’d expected but nothing to write home about either. I liked they included another live action bit though and the stuff that wasn’t about Yuta and Rikka wasn’t bad. I also liked that Second got to transform and Anti/Knight got a new form (they even brought back that random guy voiced by Naoto from the original live action series).

Akane’s magical girl transformation was a bit weird though but at least we got a good fight out of it


Still have no clue when this is going to be released officially or if they plan on doing more with the franchise (this did seem to wrap up a fair amount of stuff at least). The video quality wasn’t bad either by bootleg standards

Also I forget if it was ever mentioned in the movie but the villain is apparently called Mad Origin

None of these have anything to do with the film (which STILL doesn’t have a western release date for some reason though fansubs are available currently)

It even has official subs from playing on an airline flight. It's all the weirder since Trigger had a western released mecha anime film already, and it did gangbusters. Over 2.5 million.

It was also screened officially at a con a while back. But yeah, it’s weird it still hasn’t come to any streaming platform in the west yet
