>new voice drama announcedseems like a big event
>>282227403Is this show even about mechs anymore?
>>282227509gridman has the luxury to make merch for their human characters and the toku/mechs which other toku don't
>>282227509Yes, don't let the merchandising fool you.
>>282227509>>282227557there's still mech shit announced
>>282227403Will it be shit like the series has been so far?
>>282227570alot got announced this month
>>282227403Will it be good like the series has been so far?
>>282227509it's about forging bonds.
>>282227586
>>282227403Just make a Rikka spin off already.
>>282227624I would love an SOL spinoff with no toku stuff.
>>282227403>A special event to celebrate 33th anniversary of Denkou Choujin Gridman and the 3rd anniversary of Gridman Universe will be held on Apr 11, 2026.>A new Voice Drama has also been announced.
>>282227679BOOBS
>>282227403>New Gridman & Rikka anime is comingIs it going to be an anime tho or another "anime" filled with 3dpdcg fights that look like they came out of a ps2 cutscene?
>>282227509It was never about real mechs. Most of the mech animation in this was 3dcg.
>>282227403That says nothing about a new anime though. And if it happens the old cast would almost certainly not be in itHonestly I half expect the next project of the team to be a Transformers anime, since they made a promotional MV just like they did for Gridman before the anime was grenlit
>>282227403I love Hime.
>>282227403I hope it's just the girls having sex with adult men
>>282227950anon, they also announced 5 new voice drama, a rerun of gridman and dyna, and a sub event talking about the kaijus from the show.It's also posted under tsubu's account. This is 100% a sequel announcement.
I hope to see more of Chise what a waste of character she appeared less than a minute.
Whatever it is I hope they have some new ideas, Universe was just thinly veiled fanservice
>>282227950>>282228098Plot twist: It's both.
>>282227403Makes sense for more Gridman to be Trigger's anime for 2026. Season 2 of Dungeon Meshi probably needs a 3 years production cycle with 25 episodes.2026: Gridman2027: DM22028 would be for Edgerunners 2, but also should be the year of Imaishi's new anime going by his 2 decades old 3 years pattern. To say nothing about whatever Yoshinari's is doing (which might easily be another music video).
>>282228189Thinly? Pfft, they don't even hide it, Utsumi talks about crossovers in the movie itself.
>>282228339if its announced in 2026, it's going to be a 2027 series.I think DM is 2026
>>282228353Nah, it could easily air in fall. 2026 is too early for DM
>>282227403wow more nostalgia bait for a show no one here watched as a kid
>>282228373i'd be happy but i just don't see it. Not even late 2026. Unless this is another year where trigger has 2 anime in one single year like kiznaiver and luluco did in one.
>>282227509Every mech franchise just turns into a show about sluts
>>282228421There really isn't any issue with it airing next year, the team has done very little since Universe wrapped up and the PSG animation process ended months ago.
>>282227403Very random emphasis on the number '3'.It's either a crossover movie between og, ssss gridman and dyna or the 3rd entry to gridman universe. Pick one
>>282228465Enough fucking crossovers
>>282228490i feel the same, actually
>>282227403I wonder where gridman is placed in the tsuburaya heirarchy. This ip had their 2nd biggest box office and they also pump out merch out the ass unlike the average ultraman series. It's also their only series where they can make merch out of their human characters.Also, a solo event instead of tsubucon?
>>282227403can't wait
>>282228582I don't think it's strange to say that it might already be their biggest. Ultraman had trouble breaking into china territory meanwhile this is the audience for a gridman china eventhttps://x.com/masayoshi_oishi/status/1944408918593302769
>>282229364the fact that it's an anime is probably the reason. A very modern looking one at that. Every toku manga/anime adaptation has an oldschool vibe to it.
>>282227403>more rikka nice
>>282229837a new season would mean new characters. I don't see them making a direct sequel to the ssss. gridman characters even if rikka is popular
>>282227509The girls are used to lure boys in. The mech is what keeps them there.
>>282227403If you guys read the article, it actually further emphasise that the 5 voice drama and marathon screening is leading up to the april event.>5 new voice drama is being release every month from dec to april>marathon theater screening of gridman, dyna and the ova will be released in oct, nov, dec and january
>>282229875They should cut the middleman and make the waifubait the MC. After Yuuta and Yomogi I had enough of twink protagonists.
y'know. Zombieland saga fag weren't far off about this 2 series being commonly associated with each otherhttps://x.com/cinemacity_jp/status/1966832734846022005
>>282230307Nah, rikka is good as an emotional support character. Unless theyre making an sol spinoff, making her the mc and have her be a gridman of sort is gonna ruin the appeal. I always like that shes the normal one in the group.
>>282230415I'm not talking about Rikka, the new show should have a new cast, with maybe cameos from Anti and the other agents, like Dynazenon.
>>282227586And this is playable in SRW Y.
>>282227403I kind of want them to explore the original Gridman cast. Or at least what takeshi is doing. I like the SSSS crew but if they're going to be celebrating the original's anniversary I'd want at least a little bit of stuff on them
>>282230685I mean the idea is that the anime characters are just computer world beings, so unless the live action cast gets sucked into it that wouldn't work.
>>282227403Cant wait for rikka to get even fatter so i have more material to laugh at americans
Lucky Yuta
>>282230912???i dont get it
>>282230970They keep making her fatter since now anime needs to keep the tastes of america in mind when making their stuff
>>282231078right is just a random merch.
>>282231078and newer merch dont even draw them this big, even the one drew by sakamoto
Yume is super pretty as well as fairly cool and funny, that is all
>>282227509The anime was always a coomer show. The fans are just too insecure to admit it.
Big fat thighs
>coomer show>there's only 1 episode dedicated to fanservice in both seasons and nothing more
>>282231493Sure, keep telling yourself that.
>>282227509Half of the movie was consecutive fight scenes. What more do you want?
>>282231493Accoring to tourists, having attractive female characters = coomer show.
>>282227570>>282227586All of you who ask where Mecha toys are gonna buy this aren't you Anon?
>>282231571i will even thank you if i ever see a rikka fanservice resembling coomer shows like bisque doll.
>>282231638there's even nendoroid for gridman, dyna and alexis now. I know the faggots whining still won't buy it.
>>282231626Having the bulk of the focus on the girls at the cost of the actual plot makes it a coomer show.
>>282227586Yeah. They even just announced a Shinkocchou Seihou SHF for Thunder Gridman. Tsuburaya struck a goldmine with this IP now. They can milk both the waifufag and the toyfag lmao.https://x.com/t_features/status/1966775626117067036?t=1h1OnveI0RaTxjGYE_cNDA&s=19
>>282231679so it's not a coomer show then?Yuta has more screentime than rikka in both ssss and universe, and yomogi has more screentime than yume in dyna and universeDon't confuse merch with the actual show.
>>282231743>Male MC has the most screentime>therefore its not a coomer showYou can't call anyone else a tourist.
>>282231762>Having the bulk of the focus on the girls at the cost of the actual plot.your words, not mine
>>282231704like i said in >>282228582i'm very curious where does gridman stand in tsubu's hierarchy. Ultraman is their golden child 100% and nothing can change that cause there's too much history but i wonder what would it be comparing their modern era?
>>282227403
>>282232830
rikka spinoff when?
>>282227403Which one was the sociopath?
>>282235660>>282235660Pink hair and brown hair (to an extent)
>>282227679>>282229837>there's sexy teenage girls>>282227570>>282227586>but it's full of mechashitguess i'll masturbate to the clips of the new series when they drop.
Yuta is so fucking lucky
>>282227403>special event to celebrate the 33rd and 3rd anniversary of denkou chojin and universe on april 11>33rd anniversary>3rd anniversary>brush aside dynazenon's 5th anniversary that would fall on that week to emphasise the number 3.Yeah, its happening
Someone explain properly what the is happening>Dynazenon and Gridman reruns>Universe coming to theaters again>5 Voice dramas?I am confused
>>282236456New anime announcement in april, very likely. Also, its not universe in theatres. It's the rerun of gridman, dyna and the ova thats going to be in theatres. This and the voicedrama are release every month building up to april.
>>282236544There is no OVA. Are you referring to Animator Expo short? Or maybe the extra scenes from the compilation movies?
I hope it's a completely new story. Universe wrapped things for this character cast nicely. Or make it about Yume and Yomogi's kids.
>>282236733Yeah the story for the main couples is done. The only characters that still have some potential are Chise and Koyomi, but they aren't popular enough to carry a show.
>>282236650Animator expo. Boys invent great hero
>>282227403Mujina won
>>282236733>Universe wrapped things for this character cast nicelyI disagree. Yuta has the whole glitch thing from the voice drama. And yomogi still has the whole kaiju controller thing. You could easily continue the story with both characters as mc and also further their relationships with the heroine. I'm fine with a new cast though but i disagree with what you said.>make it about Yume and Yomogi's kids.Why would you want the story to jump that far?
>>282236951I dont care for chise and koyomi enough to want them to be mc. If they are gonna have a sibling cast, might as well go with new characters.
>>282237010I know I'm being pedantic but those were ONAs.
I dont care for a new cast. I want them all back
>>282238729
Is this the reason why comiket has alot of gridman entries this year?
They played sorairodays and union in the Pantystocking partyhttps://x.com/ga_kasu39841/status/1966920937745641822
>>282238754>>282238729From where are these?
>>282239654Its from the gridman show pamphlet. This are the only drawings at the last pagehttps://e-hentai.org/g/3080102/9b645b258f/
>>282232921Which characters are they cosplaying?Also Yume SEXO
>>282228339>>282228353>>282228373>>282228421>>282228452There's also their Star Wars short coming in October, i think
