Right now you can watch SSSS.GRIDMAN in Australia on Crunchyroll, and in the US on Crunchyroll — and it goes further with its ideas than most genre entertainment bothers to. A compact run that never overstays its welcome. Its 7/10 TMDB score, built from 95 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Hikaru Midorikawa's performance is the anchor the more ambitious scenes need. Put it on tonight on Crunchyroll and see for yourself.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, SSSS.GRIDMAN earns its spot. SSSS.GRIDMAN treats its concept seriously enough to follow it all the way through. Yuta Hibiki can’t remember who he is, and now he’s seeing and hearing things that others don’t! A voice from an old computer tells him to remember his calling, and he sees a massive, unmoving creature in the distance. Nothing’s making sense—until the behemoth springs to life! Hikaru Midorikawa and Yuya Hirose lead a cast that never lets the concept overwhelm the characters. It first aired in 2018. What separates SSSS.GRIDMAN from lesser genre entertainment is a willingness to let the concept cost the characters something. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Viewers burned by ambitious sci-fi that could not sustain its premise should give SSSS.GRIDMAN a chance. SSSS.DYNAZENON is the obvious comparison, but SSSS.GRIDMAN earns its own place alongside it. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Hikaru Midorikawa anchors it with a performance that makes the more abstract moments feel personal. If you have been burned by ambitious sci-fi before, this is the exception.

SSSS.GRIDMAN wrapped up in 2018 — and 1 season is available to watch from start to finish.
